The Performance Impact of Newton Iterations per Solver Call in Partitioned Fluid-Structure Interaction
share
The cost of a partitioned fluid-structure interaction scheme is typically assessed by the number of coupling iterations required per time step, while ignoring the Newton loops within the nonlinear sub-solvers. In this work, we discuss why these single-field iterations deserve more attention when evaluating the coupling's efficiency and how to find the optimal number of Newton steps per coupling iteration.
