Discrete coupling conditions must mimic the continuous coupling conditions that impose velocity, stress and geometric continuity on the FSI interface.
229

FSI coupling conditions can be practically enforced in different ways. A key element determining the numerical scheme to be used is the added-mass effect. This phenomenon depends on the ratio stem:[\frac{\rho_s}{\rho_f}] and refers to the different acceleration that a body immersed in a fluid experiences, as opposed to the acceleration it would experience in vacuum. This effect is explained by imagining that, as it moves, the solid carries with it a certain volume of fluid, and the higher the fluid density, the stronger the added mass. The added-mass effect is strong when fluid and solid densities are approximately equal.
231

Initially, when FSI simulations were carried out for aerodynamic purposes, this effect was negligible and a Dirichlet-Neumann approach was employed; lately, FSI modeling started employing denser fluids, and numerical schemes that are independent from added mass effects became necessary: two examples are Robin-Robin and Generalized Robin-Neumann schemes. They are all explicit schemes.

=== Dirichlet-Neumann
235

236

Dirichlet-Neumann coupling strategy is the easiest and directest one. It discretizes the FSI coupling conditions as follows: at the stem:[n]-th time iteration, on the fluid sub-problem the following conditions are imposed
Robin-Robin (RR) coupling strategy imposes coupling conditions in Robin form, in two steps: at the stem:[n]-th time iteration, on the solid sub-problem the following conditions are imposed
Here, stem:[\gamma] is a penalization parameter to be chosen.
273

274
+
It should be noticed that in (RR) stability and accuracy are subject to a CFL-condition: hyperbolic-type CFL, for which stem:[\Delta t = \mathcal{O}(h)], is sufficient to have stability, but parabolic-type CFL, for which stem:[\Delta t = \mathcal{O}(h^2)], is necessary to have optimal accuracy.
275

276

=== Generalized Robin-Neumann
277
+
278
+
This coupling strategy, at the stem:[n]-th time iteration, imposes on the fluid sub-problem:
and stem:[\mathbf{B}] is a self-adjoint operator coming from a mass lumping procedure. The fluid-sided condition is called generalized Robin because of stem:[\bf{B}] that multiplies fluid and solid velocities.
289
+
290
+
On the solid sub-problem, the following discrete Neumann condition is imposed
Also in this case there are CFL-type constraints that link space and time discretization steps: under parabolic-type CFL condition, stability is guaranteed; however, if adequate extrapolation techniques are employed, stability can be obtained under weaker requirements.
