Encompassing a wide range of topics within fluid structure interaction, this book features the edited proceedings of the first international conference to deal with this specialised area.

Emphasis throughout is placed on state-of-the-art research and new applications, while individual papers discuss basic mathematical formulations of fluid structure interaction and their numerical modelling, as well as the physical modelling of interaction problems.

The contributions included will be of particular interest to structural, offshore, naval and earthquake engineers and cover: Hydrodynamic Forces; Fluid Dynamic Response of Structures; Dynamics of Buildings and Bridges in Wind; Vibration Analysis and Control; Vortex Shedding and Flow-Induced Vibrations; CFD Approach to Interaction Problems; Numerical Wave Tank; Model Testing and Measuring; Mechanics of Tethers in Waves; and Very Large Floating Structures.
