Abstract
Some natural phenomena or engineering problems relate to fluid–solid interaction that involves coupling of fluid motion and solid deformation. Typical examples are water hammers and fluttering airfoils; more complex examples include deformation of blood vessels, blood flow, and pulse phenomena in the human body. This chapter uses dimensional analysis to discuss cases related to a water hammer, elastic bearings, fluttering airfoils and vortex-excited vibration of heat exchangers.
