Fluid-Structure Interaction

Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is the interaction of a fluid flow with a solid structure.

It is crucial for understanding the dynamic behavior of structures exposed to fluid forces such as.

• Long-span bridges in strong winds
• The aeroelastic behavior of wings
• Structures subjected to waves
• Biomedical devices such as heart valves

Experimental analysis allows researchers to capture real-world data to validate simulation models and enhance predictions of structural responses to flow-induced loads.

We offer Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) solutions combining Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) for the fluid flow field measurements and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) for the structural deformation measurements.
