Abstract
Modeling of cavitation phenomena requires the coupling of models for fluid and solid materials. For this purpose we employ a strategy based on the solution of coupled Riemann problems that has been originally developed for the coupling of two fluids. The coupling strategy has been established and validated in [1]. In this work we include a timestepping algorithm which allows for different timesteps in fluid and solid solvers. Furthermore, we perform numerical experiments simulating the interface between a plastic or steel structure and air.
