This talk explores the fascinating field of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), where fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural mechanics (FEA) converge. We'll discuss:
What is FSI?
The interaction between fluid forces and structural responses.
Examples: wind effects on bridges, and aircraft design.
Role of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD):
Simulating fluid behavior and forces exerted on structures.
Importance of turbulence modeling and boundary conditions.
Role of Finite Element Analysis (FEA):
Modeling structural deformation, stresses, and displacements.
Handling complex materials and geometries.
Integration of CFD and FEA:
Computational Power in FSI:
Advances in high-performance computing and parallel processing.
Role of software like ANSYS, Abaqus, OpenFOAM, and others.
Coding a simple FEA programme using Python:
