This comprehensive book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of nonlinear fluid-structure interaction. It offers a comprehensive compilation of state-of-the-art numerical methods for solving complex problems involving viscous incompressible fluid flows interacting with structures of varying complexity. The book covers single and two-phase flows, considering structures ranging from rigid-body dynamics to fully-coupled flexible multibody systems.

One of the key features of this book is its focus on computational modeling of high Reynolds number fluid-structure interaction problems. It introduces various coupling techniques and systematically discusses their application to solve large-scale practical problems in aerospace and marine/offshore engineering. The techniques are demonstrated through examples that highlight their effectiveness in capturing the complex physics and mechanical aspects of the interaction.

The book also provides a deep understanding of the underlying unsteady physics and coupled mechanical aspects of the fluid-structure interaction. It employs body-fitted and moving mesh formulations to capture the physical insights associated with structure-to-fluid mass ratios, Reynolds number, large structural deformation, free surface, and other interacting physical fields. This allows the reader to gain a comprehensive grasp of the complex phenomena that arise in such interactions.

In addition to the theoretical discussions, the book includes practical tools and methodologies necessary for building the concepts required for modeling coupled fluid-structure interaction problems. It exposes the reader to advanced topics such as multiphysics and multiscale phenomena, providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle complex multidisciplinary problems.

Overall, this book is a valuable asset for anyone interested in advancing their understanding of nonlinear fluid-structure interaction. It offers a comprehensive coverage of numerical methods, coupled physics, and practical applications, making it an essential resource for researchers, engineers, and students in the field.
