Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction: Methods And Applications

Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction: Methods and Applications

Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction: Methods andApplications takes the reader from the fundamentals ofcomputational fluid and solid mechanics to the state-of-the-art incomputational FSI methods, special FSI techniques, and solution ofreal-world problems. Leading experts in the field present thematerial using a unique approach that combines advanced methods,special techniques, and challenging applications. 

This book begins with the differential equations governing thefluid and solid mechanics, coupling conditions at thefluid–solid interface, and the basics of the finite elementmethod. It continues with the ALE and space–time FSI methods,spatial discretization and time integration strategies for thecoupled FSI equations, solution techniques for thefully-discretized coupled equations, and advanced FSI andspace–time methods. It ends with special FSI techniquestargeting cardiovascular FSI, parachute FSI, and wind-turbineaerodynamics and FSI.
