Abstract :
For coupled problems, two different coupling strategies, either direct or indirect, can be used. One of the advantages of the indirect coupling strategy is its ability to solve each problem separately on dedicated meshes. However, such a technique requires a projection method of each solution obtained on one mesh onto another one. In this paper, a projection method based on a Galerkin technique is presented.
