First book to present the state-of-the-art in CFSI researchComputational Fluid-Structure Interaction is a complete, self-contained reference that takes the reader from the fundamentals of computational fluid and solid mechanics all the way to the state-of-the-art in CFSI research. Leading expert researchers in the field present the subject using the modern language of computational mechanics and a unique approach that combines both advanced theory and applications.Coverage includes differential equations governing the mechanical behavior of fluids and solids, and the coupling conditions at the fluid-solid interface, the basics of the Finite Element Method (FEM) and its applications to fluid and solid mechanics problems, discretization and time integration strategies for the coupled FSI problem, linearization of the FSI equations and their solution strategies, and selected applications of CFSI, which include vascular blood flow, wind turbines and parachute aerodynamics. The book is ideal for teaching graduate courses or short courses for academia, government labs, and industry.First book to address the state-of-the-art in CFSI, an area that is rapidly expanding and receiving considerable attention from both academia and industryCombines classical material with the state-of-the-art research resultsAuthored by leading global experts in the field of CFSIFeatures colour plates with diagrams and photographs illustrating the complexity of the underlying geometrical and physical features of the phenomena that the proposed methods are able to predict.
