Fluid-Structure Interactions in Flows through Flexible-Walled Channels

该项目旨在提供一个明确的理解的行为，稳定和脉动流体流动通过符合壁通道和管道。新的理论稳定性分析和实验研究，辅以有针对性的数值模拟，将被开发和用于识别和分类流体和壁基波扰动及其相互作用。这可以支持控制这些流动的技术的发展，以有利于工程流体流动和生物发生系统。 将出现强有力的设计准则，以保障和加强使用柔性衬里和柔性面板，以减少阻力和噪音，或保护暴露于流体流动的表面。

This project seeks to deliver a definitive understanding of the behaviour of steady and pulsating fluid flow through compliant-walled channels and pipes. Novel theoretical stability-analyses and experimental investigations, complemented by targeted numerical simulations, will be developed and used to identify and categorise fluid- and wall-based wave-disturbances and their interactions. This can underpin the development of technologies that control these flows to advantage in both engineered fluid-flow and biologically occurring systems. Robust design guidelines will emerge to safeguard and enhance the use of compliant liners and flexible panels for drag and noise reductions, or to protect surfaces exposed to fluid flows.
