...Y. W. Kwon In order to analyze the fluid-structure interaction between a flow and a flexible structure, an algorithm was presented to couple the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and the finite element method (FEM). The LBM was applied to the fluid dynamics while the FEM was applied to the structural...
