Mechanics of Flow-Induced Vibration: Physical Modeling and Control Strategies

This book discusses passive and active techniques for controlling unsteady flow dynamics and associated coupled mechanics of fluid-structure interaction, covering freely vibrating bluff bodies, self-induced flapping of thin flexible structures, and aeroelasticity of shell structures. It provides a comprehensive review of the underlying unsteady physics and coupled mechanical aspects of the fluid-structure interaction, including body-fitted and moving mesh formulations, physical insights associated with structure-to-fluid mass ratios, Reynolds number, nonlinear structural deformation, proximity interference, near-wall contacts, free-surface, and other interacting physical fields. Control techniques and data-driven model reduction approaches based on subspace projection and deep neural calculus are also covered.

This book delves into the realm of controlling unsteady flow dynamics and the intricate mechanics of fluid-structure interaction (FSI). It explores various passive and active techniques to address this complex phenomenon, which has gained significant attention in recent years. FSI involves the study of coupled physical systems where fluid and a structure interact mechanically, and it presents numerous challenges in computational modeling and control strategies. The book aims to provide a comprehensive review of the underlying unsteady physics and coupled mechanical aspects of fluid-structure interaction, focusing on freely vibrating bluff bodies, self-induced flapping of thin flexible structures, and aeroelasticity of shell structures. By understanding flow-induced loads and vibrations, researchers and engineers can design safer and more cost-effective structures, particularly for light and high-aspect ratio structures with increased flexibility and harsh environmental conditions. The book covers various numerical methods, including body-fitted and moving mesh formulations, to capture the physical insights associated with structure-to-fluid mass ratios, Reynolds number, nonlinear structural deformation, proximity interference, near-wall contacts, free-surface, and other interacting physical fields. Additionally, it discusses control techniques to mitigate the effects of FSI, such as feedback control, active flow control, and adaptive structures. The book is intended for students and researchers in the field of computational modeling and control strategies for fluid-structure interaction, providing them with a solid foundation for further research and development in this area.
