Currently, a joint effort is made by German research groups to establish a benchmark for a bidirectional Fluid-Structure-Interaction problem: a geometrically non-linear vibrating structure being agitated by a laminar flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid. Among other approaches, a partitioned solution procedure has been developed in this framework using a high order FEM code for the structural side of the solution coupled to a Lattice-Boltzmann solver discretizing the fluid. The explicit coupling of these two completely different types of discretizations gives promising results also in terms of an efficient calculation. This paper briefly introduces the benchmark, presents the procedure used and gives some results obtained by the application of the method.
