A Brief Overview of Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis

A Multiphysics link between the principles governing fluid dynamics and structural mechanics is known as fluid-structure interaction (FSI). This phenomenon is defined by steady or oscillatory interactions between a deformable or moving structure and surrounding or internal fluid flow. A fluid-structure interaction analysis (FSI) is performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA).

The discipline of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) involves using a numerical approach to solve the mathematical equations governing these processes in order to forecast fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reactions, and related phenomena. On the other hand, the method for numerically predicting how a system or component will respond to a structural or thermal load is called finite element analysis (FEA). 

The fluid-structure interaction is classified into three groups –

1. Zero Strain Interaction which involves the movement of suspended solids in a liquid matrix. 

2. The second is constant strain steady flow interactions. It is about the steady force applied to an oil pipeline as a result of viscous contact between the fluid and the pipeline walls. 

3. Oscillatory interactions are when the strain forces a solid structure to shift which reduces the source of the strain. The structure returns to its former state and the process repeats.
