"Convergence Proof of a Stokes Flow
Immersed Boundary Method"
Abstract:
The immersed boundary method is a popular method for
computations in fluid-structure interaction problems. It is
charactrized by the use of an Eulerian grid for the fluid
domain and a Lagrangian grid for the elastic structure, and
the use of regularized dirac delta functions to establish
communication between the two grids. In this talk,
I will outline a convergence proof for a stationary Stokes
flow immersed boundary problem. Computational results are
presented to demonstrate that the error estimates obtained
are close to optimal. I will end with a discussion of
open problems.
