Fluid-Structure interactions

Description

This course aims to teach students the basics of fluid-structure interactions, focusing on how fluids and solids work together. The topics include:

• How fluid and solid mechanics are connected.

• Using dimensional analysis to study interactions.

• Understanding dimensionless numbers and why they are important.

• Writing equations that link fluids and solids with appropriate boundary conditions, including simplified forms.

• Tools to anticipate and tackle phenomena such as flutter, galloping, sloshing, and vortex-induced vibrations.
