Fluid‐structure interaction: application to structures in an acoustic fluid medium, part 1: an introduction to numerical treatment Available to Purchase

This paper is concerned with the treatment of fluid‐structure interaction problems. The paper is divided in a number of sections. The first is an introduction to the historical background which lead to the numerical approach being used today. In the second the main factors affecting the numerical treatment of fluid‐structure interaction problems are identified. The next eight sections discuss each of these factors separately. Conclusions are drawn in section eleven.
