SparseLizard/examples/nonlinear-fsi-micropillar-2d/main.cpp

// This code simulates the fluid-structure interaction between an incompressible water 
// flow in a microchannel and two micropillars. The micropillars are modeled as elastic 
// structures. Small-strain geometric nonlinearity is taken into account.
// A monolithic fluid-structure coupling is used. A smooth mesh deformation is obtained
// by solving a Laplace formulation. 
// ALE can be used as an alternative to solve this FSI problem.
//
// A parabolic normal flow velocity is forced at the inlet and 
// a zero pressure is imposed at the outlet.
//
//
// The microchannel geometry is as follows (l = 350 um, h = 120 um):
//
//                                       l
