Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction (PDF)

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

This book begins with the differential equations governing the
fluid and solid mechanics, coupling conditions at the
fluid-solid interface, and the basics of the finite element
method. It continues with the ALE and space-time FSI methods,
spatial discretization and time integration strategies for the
coupled FSI equations, solution techniques for the
fully-discretized coupled equations, and advanced FSI and
space-time methods. It ends with special FSI techniques
targeting cardiovascular FSI, parachute FSI, and wind-turbine
aerodynamics and FSI.
