Fluid-Structure Interaction Applications
Floating thin film
Wind Turbine
Mitral valve
Fluid-structure interaction problems encompass a wide range of applications in many different industries. Aerospace, automotive, power generation, biomedical, etc.

Fluid-Structure Interaction
The solution to two-way fluid-structure interaction
requires co-simulation between computational fluid dynamics and structural mechanics. Applications such as air foil flutter, flow induced vibration from wind loading, membrane valves, pumps, elastic artery modeling and fuel tank sloshing require a two-way fluid-structure interaction solution to accurately predict the behavior of the design.
