Boffi, Daniele; Gastaldi, Lucia; Heltai, Luca Numerical stability of the finite element immersed boundary method. (English) Zbl 1186.76661 Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 17, No. 10, 1479-1505 (2007). The authors address the stability of immersed boundary computations taking advantage of the natural energy estimates that arise from the use of a variational approach to the immersed boundary method. A two-dimensional incompressible fluid and a boundary in the form of a simple closed curve are considered. A linearization of the Navier-Stokes equations and a linear elasticity model are considered for proving the unconditional stability of the fully implicit discretization, achieved with the use of a backward Euler method for both the fluid and the structure evolution, and a CFL condition for the semi-implicit method, where the fluid terms are treated implicitly while the structure is treated explicitly. The last sections are devoted to numerical validation, conclusions and plans for the future works.
