About this Research Topic
Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) refers to a class or engineering problems that have multi-physics coupling between a deformable solid and a surrounding and/or internal fluid. FSI occurs whenever fluid dynamics and structural deformational are simultaneously affecting each other. These physical phenomena are present at all scales and are represented in countless engineering disciplines, such as biomechanics, aerospace engineering, and microelectronics. Despite this set of problems being prevalent, they are difficult to model computationally given the disparate mathematics used to describe fluid and solid materials; therefore, significant simplifications and approximations are usually made in order to simulate these complex phenomena.
The main goal of this Research Topic is to highlight state-of-the-art solutions to modeling and numerical challenges unique to Fluid-Structure Interaction applications. The current Research Topic will be a useful platform to build FSI benchmarks across different fields, while also enabling researchers to share high-quality novel contributions to numerous FSI application domains. Original research and review articles are welcome.
The scope of this Research Topic includes, but is not limited to the following research applications:
1. Biomechanical fluid-structure interaction;
2. Blast on structures;
3. Cavitation induced damage;
4. Fluid thermal structural interaction.
Other research areas of interest are:
• Applications of FSI to all scales;
• Communication of software implementation details;
• Performance evaluation of original and commercial codes;
• Additional verification and validation schemes;
• Different formulations, discretization techniques, and approximation spaces;
• Moving mesh, overset mesh, immersed methods, and mesh-free methods;
• Immersed methods;
• Volumetric vs surface approaches;
• Minimization of transfer costs and complexity;
• Monolithic vs portioned solvers.
