Journal of Scientific Computing Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A fully discrete Crank-Nicolson leap-frog time stepping decoupled (CNLFD) scheme is presented and studied for the fluid–fluid interaction problems. The proposed scheme deals with the spatial discretization by finite element method (FEM), treats the temporal discretization by CNLF scheme and decouples the nonlinear interface condition by using a geometric averaging of the jump. The unconditional stability and error estimate are proven. Numerical tests are performed to demonstrate the robustness of this method.
