Fluid-Structure Interactions: Volume 1

Fluid-Structure Interactions, Volume 1 is the first of two volumes concentrating on the dynamics of slender bodies within or containing axial flow. This volume covers the fundamentals and mechanisms giving rise to flow-induced vibration, with a particular focus on the challenges associated with pipes conveying fluid.

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is the interaction of some movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. FSIs are a crucial consideration in the design of many engineering systems, including aircraft, pipe networks, and bridges.
