FP7 Project with U.S. partner
Short name and number
offshore FSI (219429)
Area
No theme specific
Description
Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a multidisciplinary field which involves fluid mechanics, structural mechanics and vibrations, complex techniques for instrumentation and data analysis and numerical methods applied to computational fluid and solid mechanics. Two main FSI topics will be investigated during the course of the fellowship: Wave impact mechanics and vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) on offshore structures.
