Nonlinear acceleration of coupled fluid-structure transient thermal problems by Anderson mixing

This work was part of a national TSB-funded program in low carbon engine technology. The coupled fluid-structure methodology developed at Surrey is now in production use at Rolls-Royce. This paper describes the first use in the literature of the Anderson mixing method for fluid-structure interaction. The improvement in speed demonstrated enables greater use of the method in industry. Application of the technology developed in this paper (and in Amirante et al.) is now being carried out in collaboration with Rolls-Royce under the EU CLEANSKY project to develop more environmentally friendly engines.
