A methodology for analysis of fluid structure interaction accouting for free surface waves

== Abstract ==

a stabilized semi-implicit frictional step finite element method for solving coupled fluid-structure interaction problems involving free surface waves is presented. The stabilized equations are derived at a differential level via a finite element calculus procedure. A new mesh updating technique based on solving a fictitious elastic problem on the moving mesh is described. One example of the efficiency of the stabilized semi-implicit algorithm for the coupled solution of fluid-structure interaction problems is presented.
