This chapter presents several partitioned algorithms to couple lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and finite element method (FEM) for numerical simulation of transient fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems with large interface motion. Partitioned coupling strategies allow one to solve separately the fluid and solid subdomains using adapted or optimized numerical schemes, which provides a considerable flexibility for FSI simulation, especially for more realistic and industrial applications. However, partitioned coupling procedures often encounter numerical instabilities due to the fact that the time integrations of the two subdomains are usually carried out in a staggered way. As a consequence, the energy transfer across the fluid-solid interface is usually not correctly simulated, which means numerical energy injection or dissipation might occur at the interface with partitioned methods. The focus of the present chapter is given to the energy conservation property of different partitioned coupling strategies for FSI simulation.

Abstract In this paper, a gas-kinetic Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model is constructed for the Rayleigh-Benard thermal convection transfer in a two-dimensional cavity containing an absorbing, emitting, and scattering medium, where the flow field and temperature field are described by two coupled Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) BGK models. Heat radiation is solved using the Control Volume Finite Element Method (CVFEM). The two-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard thermal convection with radiation is studied and numerical results are compared with some available benchmark solutions and a good agreement has been observed.
