Report of activities at TU Braunschweig

The present report aims to show the research activities that were carried out during the stay of three months at the Institut fur Konstruktionstechnik (IK) of the Technische Universitat at the city of Braunschweig, from 01/04/14 up to 26/06/14. These activities were developed within the framework of the International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES), project "NumSim" PIRSES - GA2009_246977 Marie Curie Actions, funded under the 7 framework program of the European Commission. The final goal of this work plan is to use High Performance Computing (HPC) resources to obtain a parallel multiphysics code by combining the advantages of specialized codes such as elPaSo [2] and PETSc-FEM [7], in order to deal with the numerical solution of intrincate Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems. The activities comprise the colaborative work between Dr.Ing.Marco Schauer from the German Institute with Dr.Ing.Luciano Garelli and Dr.Ing.Gustavo Rios Rodriguez, both researchers at CIMEC-CONICET.
