Introduction
Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems occur in many fields of engineering applications, such as pipelines, high-speed trains, renewable energy harvesters, and biological and physiological systems (e.g., locomotion of slender fish, blood vessels, and vocal cords). It involves the interplay of fluid flow and deformable/moving solid structures with the aim of understanding the physical phenomena involved, so as to assist in trouble-free design and problem resolution. Special attention and accurate simulation tools are required to improve performance, minimize production costs, and avoid costly failures.
We are pleased to propose the organization of a session on “Computational Methods for Coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems” as a part of ICNAAM 2025. This event will provide a unique platform for researchers and designers to discuss and exchange ideas on recent developments and best practices related to computational methods for FSI problems.
Objectives
The primary objectives of this session are:
- To facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration among researchers and professionals
working on computational methods for FSI problems. - To showcase the latest advancements in FSI simulations and their real-world applications.
- To provide a forum for networking and fostering partnerships within the FSI research
community.
Session Topics
As a part of ICNAAM 2024, this session will cover a broad range of topics related to
computational methods for FSI problems. The topics of particular interest include (but are not
limited to):
- One-way and Two-way fluid-structure interaction modeling.
- Coupled CFD-CSD simulation techniques.
- Advanced computational methods.
- Real-Time Simulation and Digital Twins.
- Multiscale and multiphysics modeling.
- Advanced Experimental and Hybrid Methods.
- Parallel and High-Performance Computing and GPU Acceleration in FSI.
- Software and tool development for FSI simulations.
- FSI in Additive/Advanced Manufacturing.
- FSI in Soft Robotics and Bio-Inspired Systems.
- Flapping phenomena (e.g., swimming of fish, flight of birds, and fluttering of flags and leaves).
- Applications in the design of novel engineering systems (e.g., for energy harvesting).
- Hydro-structural interactions and vortex-induced vibrations (VIV).
- Industrial case studies and real-world applications (e.g., Biomedical applications, Ocean Mining and Oil/Gas production facilities, subsea pipelines, Marine structures, Offshore structures, and flexible risers).
Proposed Schedule
The session will be a one-day event with keynote speeches, technical sessions, and a panel
discussion. The following is a proposed schedule:
Morning: Keynote Speech 1, Technical Sessions 1 and 2
Lunch Break
Afternoon: Keynote Speech 2, Technical Session 3, Panel Discussion: Challenges and Future Directions in FSI
