Prerequisites: Permission of instructor.
This course will provide an overview on the coupling of fluid flows and flexible structures. The students will be introduced to the different examples of fluid-structure interaction, for example, wing flutter, vortex-induced vibrations, etc., and how to model these FSI problems andmitigate their impacts. Theories related to dimensional analysis, effects of viscosity, fluid-added damping and stiffness, vibrations, buckling as well as Coriolis damping will also be introduced.
