Lectures

Goal

Introduction to fundamental theoretic assumptions and numerical methods adequate for solving engineering problems involving fluid-structure interaction (e.g. slender structures/blades exposed to wind loads, adaptive lifting surfaces, parachutes, cardiovascular flow, etc).

Outcome

Recognition of the most influential causes of the flow/behavior that is being modeled. Adequate choice and rational understanding of the employed numerical methods as well as boundary conditions definition. Individual work in the form of numerical computation of the unknown physical quantity (quantities) and post-processing. Work in different research areas - applied mathematics, programming, computational aerodynamics, structural analysis, optimization, etc. and their coupling.
