Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction: Methods, Models, and Applications

Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction provides detailed explanations of a range of FSI models, their mathematical formulations, validations and applications, with an emphasis on conservative unstructured-grid FVM. The first part of the book presents the nascent numerical methods, algorithms and solvers for both compressible and incompressible flows, computational structural dynamics (CSD), parallel multigrid, IOM, IMM and ALE methods. The second half of the book covers the validations of these numerical methods and solvers, as well as their applications in a broad range of areas in basic research and engineering.

Provides a comprehensive overview of the latest numerical methods used in FSI, including unstructured-grid finite volume method (FVM), parallel multigrid scheme, overlapping mesh, immersed object method (IOM), immersed membrane method (IMM), as well as arbitrary Lagragian-Eulerian (ALE), and moreProvides full details of the numerical methods and solvers and their validations, helping readers to apply them in their own worksCompares different methods to help the readers choose the right approach for their own FSI problems more effectivelyFeatures real-life FSI case studies, such as large eddy simulation of aeroelastic flutter of a wing, parallel computation of a bio-prosthetic heart valve and ALE study of a micro aerial vehicle
