Fluid-structure interactions (FSI), or the interaction of a deformable structure with a surrounding or internal fluid flow, are presently among the most important and difficult Multiphysics problems that numerical simulations are attempting to solve. The fundamental benefit of utilizing partitioned- coupling algorithms to solve any FSI simulation is that it treats both the fluid and structural solvers as "black-box," with information exchange taking place only on the shared domain boundaries (surface-coupled problems). Kratos-CoSimulation is one of the open-source coupling tools available on the market, which provides a coupling framework including coupling algorithms, data mapping (for non-matching grids), as well as an interface for other solvers to connect to and leverage the coupling features.     «
