Abstract
We consider the finite element discretization of a fictitious domain formulation for fluid-structure interaction problems where a distributed Lagrange multiplier is associated with the kinematic constraint. Fluid and solid equations are solved on independent meshes and a coupling term takes care of their interaction. In this work we discuss the mass conservation properties of several combinations of finite element spaces through some significant numerical tests.
