Abstract
PurposeTo develop a technique to couple the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and the finite element method (FEM) to solve fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) problems.Design/methodology/approachThe FEM was applied to structural analysis while the LBM was applied to fluid flow analysis. The two techniques were coupled in a staggered manner through interface boundary conditions.FindingsIn order to demonstrate the developed coupling technique, various FSI examples were analyzed and presented. The coupling technique was useful to solve FSI problems.Originality/valueTo the best knowledge of the author, there have been few efforts to couple the two techniques to solve the fluid and flexible structure interaction problems.
