Abstract
We at first address the numerical solution of some class of elliptic problems by a combination of domain decomposition and fictitious domain methods. Due to the fact that the Steklov-Poincare operators associated with the subdomain interfaces and with the fictitious domain treatment of internal boundaries have very similar properties; we derive fast solution methods of conjugate gradient type with good parallelization properties which enforce simultaneously the matching at the subdomain interfaces and the actual boundary conditions. Numerical results obtained on a KSR machine are presented. A similar methodology has been applied to simulate incompressible viscous flows past oscillating airfoils. Preliminary results for flow past a pitching airfoil are also presented.
