A Numerical Study of the Behaviour of Flexible Inserts in Laminar Channel Flow

The fluid-structure interactions between laminar channel-flow and pressure-loaded compliant-wall can lead to channel collapse and structural vibrations. Two-dimensional numerical simulations of fluid-conveying channels with flexible sections are conducted to investigate the steady-state and transien...
