Abstract: The immersed boundary method is a mathematical framework for modeling fluid–structure interaction. This formulation describes the momentum, viscosity, and incompressibility of the fluid–structure system in Eulerian form, and it uses Lagrangian coordinates to describe the structural deformations, stresses, and resultant forces. Integral transforms with Dirac delta function kernels connect the Eulerian and Lagrangian frames. The fluid and the structure are both typically treated as incompressible materials. The discretization scheme can readily enforce incompressibility exactly for the Eulerian velocity field. Because of the regularization of the Dirac delta function kernel, however, the Lagrangian velocity field of the solid generally does not retain this property. To obtain an immersed method for incompressible hyperelastic structures that is robust under large structural deformations, we introduce a volumetric energy in the solid region that stabilizes the formulation and improves the accuracy of the numerical scheme. This formulation augments the discrete Eulerian Lagrange multiplier for the incompressibility constraint, thereby improving the original method's accuracy. This volumetric energy is incorporated by decomposing the strain energy into isochoric and dilatational components, as in standard solid mechanics formulations of nearly incompressible elasticity. We study the performance of the stabilized method using several quasi-static solid mechanics benchmarks, a dynamic fluid–structure interaction benchmark, and a detailed three-dimensional model of esophageal transport. The accuracy achieved by the stabilized immersed formulation is empirically demonstrated to be comparable to that of a stabilized finite element method for incompressible elasticity using similar numbers of structural degrees of freedom. • The hyperelastic immersed boundary method may not maintain solid incompressibility. • A stabilizing pressure in the solid region reduces spurious volume changes. • The method is inspired by volumetric penalization used in solid mechanics but not widely used in the IB method. • Excellent volume conservation is demonstrated via widely used elasticity benchmarks, a dynamic FSI test, and a model of esophageal transport. • The stabilization can be readily integrated in existing implementations.
