Abstract: In this paper a partitioned strong coupling algorith is proposed for the nuerical resolution of different fluid-structure interaction (FSI) probles within the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite eleent fraework. The incopressible viscous Navier-Stokes equations are solved by the sei-iplicit characteristic-based split (CBS) schee. Both the generalized rigid-body otion and the geoetrically nonlinear solid are taken into account. The resultant equations governing the structural otions are advanced in tie by the coposite iplicit tie integration schee that allows for a larger tie step size. In particular, the celled-based soothed finite eleent ethod is adopted for the ore accurate solution of the nonlinear elastic solid without coproising the nuerical efficiency. The oving subesh approach in conjunction with the ortho-sei-torsional spring analogy ethod is used to efficiently update the dynaic esh within the fluid doain. A ass source ter (ST) is iplanted into the pressure Poisson equation in the second step of the CBS schee in order to respect the so-called geoetric conservation law. Given the CBS schee, the ST releases the requireent on the differencing schee of the esh velocity. The partitioned iterative solution is easily achieved via the fixed-point ethod with Aitken’s △² accelerator. The proposed ethodology is in possession of both the flexibility of coupling individual fields and the progra odularity. The flutter of an H-profile bridge deck and vortex-induced vibrations of a restrictor flap in a unifor channel flow are nuerically siulated by eans of the developed partitioned strong coupling algorith. The nuerical results are in good agreeent with the available data, and deonstrate the desirably coputational accuracy and nuerical efficiency.
