Convergence of a Lagrange-Galerkin method for a fluid-rigid body system in ALE formulation
ESAIM: Modélisation mathématique et analyse numérique, Tome 42 (2008) no. 4, pp. 609-644.

We propose a numerical scheme to compute the motion of a two-dimensional rigid body in a viscous fluid. Our method combines the method of characteristics with a finite element approximation to solve an ALE formulation of the problem. We derive error estimates implying the convergence of the scheme.
