Fluid structure interaction is a class of simulations when fluid flow changes the shape or orientation of a body, which in turn changes the fluid flow. Vorticity has applied this type of simulation to a range of problems including modelling:
- A microprobe hitting solid water ice at high velocity
- An ejection seat emerging into
high-speed flow - Airbag inflation
- Aerodynamic stability of flexible structures
- Water impact
- Parachute dynamics and inflation in
subsonic and supersonic flow - Entry probe dynamic stability
