5. Conclusion

Numerical simulation of fluid-structure interactions enables us to account for complex physical phenomena, as encountered in the behavior of many industrial installations or designs.

It enables them to be accurately represented in a numerical calculation, which is useful for demonstrating the performance of structures, and also contributes to risk analysis.

A wide variety of numerical tools are available to engineers to perform these calculations. This article has briefly presented the principles and areas of use; the series of articles [BM 5 200]...
