In this paper a novel application of the (high-order) H(div)-conforming Hybrid Discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for monolithic fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is presented. The Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) description is derived for H(div)-conforming finite elements including the Piola transformation, yielding exact divergence free fluid velocity solutions. The arising method is demonstrated by means of the benchmark problems proposed by Turek and Hron [50]. With hp-refinement strategies singularities and boundary layers are overcome leading to optimal spatial convergence rates.
