The coupled system is formulated in a variational monolithic Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian framework. We derive methods for goal-oriented error estimation and mesh adaptation with the dual weighted residual method. Key to this error estimator is a Petrov-Galerkin approach for deriving the variational formulation of the coupled system. The developed method is applied to two and three dimensional stationary benchmark problems to demonstrate its efficiency.
