Numerical simulation of viscoelastic fluid–structure interaction benchmarks and their application to the human eye

Abstract

Article highlights We obtain reliable results for the temporal and spatial discretization for a challenging viscoelastic FSI benchmark. We show good performance for the dual-weighted residual method for pure viscoelastic problems and for viscoelastic FSI. The viscoelasticity has a significant impact on the functionals of interest for the benchmarks and for the human eye.
