A strongly coupled monolithic method was previously proposed for the computation of wind-induced fluid-structure interaction of flexible membranous structures by the authors. How to obtain the accurate solution is a key issue for the strongly coupled monolithic method. Projection methods are among the commonly used methods for the coupled solution. In the work here, to impose initial pressure boundary conditions implicitly defined in the original momentum equations in classical projection methods when dealing with large-displacement of membranous structures, a modified factor is introduced in corrector step of classical projection methods and a new modified projection method is obtained. +e solution procedures of the modified projection method aimed at strongly coupled monolithic equations are given, and the related equations are derived.+e proposed method is applied to the computation of a two-dimensional fluid-structure interaction benchmark case and wind-induced fluid-structure interaction of a three-dimensional flexible membranous structure. +e performance and efficiency of the modified projection method are evaluated. +e results show that the modified projection methods are valid in the computation of wind-induced fluid-structure interaction of flexible membranous structures, with higher accuracy and efficiency compared with traditional methods. +e modified value has little effects on the computation results whereas iteration times has significant effects. Computation accuracy can be improved greatly by increasing iteration times with less increase in computation time and little effects on stability with the modified projection method.
