Fluid Structure Interaction
We perform coupled Fluid–Structure Interaction (FSI) simulations that combine Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate how fluid forces interact with structural components under real operating conditions. Our analyses help improve reliability, optimize designs, and investigate complex engineering failures.
What We Analyze
Our FSI simulations evaluate the interaction between fluid flow and structural response to predict deformation, vibration, pressure loading, and dynamic behavior across complex engineering systems.
Pressure-Induced Deformation
Aeroelastic Analysis
Hydroelastic Analysis
Flow-Induced Vibration
Thermal-Structural Coupling
Dynamic Fluid Loading
Why
Fluid–Structure Interaction?
Many engineering problems cannot be accurately solved by analyzing fluids or structures independently. FSI combines CFD and FEA into a single coupled simulation, enabling engineers to evaluate real-world interactions between fluid forces and structural behavior, resulting in more reliable designs, better performance, and improved failure prediction.
