Fluid Structure Interaction under Turbulent Flow

Call for Papers

The physical phenomena arising in fluid-structure interaction under turbulent flow are often of high complexity because of the strong nonlinear coupling of structural mechanics and fluid dynamic loads, leading to new physical mechanisms and modification of the fluid-elastic instabilities. Advanced experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies are necessary to fully capture these complex dynamics and to assess the critical parameters responsible for resonance, flutter, vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs), movement-induced vibrations (MIVs), and turbulence-induced vibrations (TIVs). The main objective of the present special issue is to address the state of the art in the domain of turbulent flows interacting with solid structures, and to provide methods capable of predicting the aforementioned physical phenomena. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Experimental studies of turbulent flows governed by fluid-structure interaction
• Recent developments in numerical coupling CFD-CSM
• Advances in turbulence modelling approaches able to capture fluid-structure interaction phenomena
• Compressibility effects arising in turbulent fluid-structure interaction
• Impact of turbulence on VIV, MIV, and TIV mechanisms
