Fluid-structure Interactions

The book delves into the essential principles of mathematical continuum mechanics, focusing on both fluids and solids, and their interactions. It emphasizes the derivation of variational formulations for fluid and solid mechanics, including fluid-structure interaction challenges. Detailed discussions on two monolithic formulations—the ALE and Fully Eulerian—highlight their effectiveness in handling large deformations. Additionally, it covers advanced discretization methods, interface techniques, and topics like error estimation and optimization in fluid-structure interactions.
