FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTION (FSI): A PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE

Fluid-structure interaction exists in various forms in our lives; whether in nature like the wind interaction with the crops, trees, or even inside us such as the heart pump and valve dynamics in the cardiovascular system. In addition, this interaction between fluids and solids occurs in man-made objects at different levels of interaction such as submarines and sub-sea jumpers immersed in oceans, wind loading affecting buildings such as bridges, wind turbines, aircraft structures, oil and gas pipelines, and many other applications.
