Multiphysics FSI Seminar to University of Miami

Title: Multiphysics effects in understanding fluid-structure-interaction (FSI) phenomena for civil and marine energy systems

Abstract: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) phenomena involve coupling between the laws of fluid and structural mechanics. Many of these phenomena are encountered in civil, marine, nuclear, and other infrastructure systems, in onshore and offshore environments. Structural systems in these environments are exposed to extreme loads driven by natural hazards or other processes, which require a thorough understanding of FSI to ensure reliable performance and structural integrity. This presentation will discuss research studies undertaken to understand the interaction between coastal structures and multiphase fluid flows using computational simulations and laboratory experiments. Research hypotheses based on one-way and two-way FSI phenomena will be investigated for various engineering problems along with pros and cons of each methodology with consideration of structural compliance effects and application-driven needs.
