Novel computational methods for the study of compliant-wall fluid-structure interaction

Applying compliant-wall coatings to otherwise rigid surfaces can delay the onset of laminar-turbulent transition and offer marked reductions in skin-friction drag and energy consumption, particularly in marine applications.However, the complex dynamics that result from the coupling of fluid and stru...
