Multigoal-oriented error estimation and mesh adaptivity for fluid–structure interaction

Abstract

In this work, we consider multigoal-oriented error estimation for stationary fluid–structure interaction. The problem is formulated within a variational-monolithic setting using arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian coordinates. Employing the dual-weighted residual method for goal-oriented a posteriori error estimation, adjoint sensitivities are required. For multigoal-oriented error estimation, a combined functional is formulated such that several quantities of interest are controlled simultaneously. As localization technique for mesh refinement we employ a partition-of-unity. Our algorithmic developments are substantiated with several numerical tests such as an elastic lid-driven cavity with two goal functionals, an elastic bar in a chamber with two goal functionals, and the FSI-1 benchmark with three goal functionals. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
