1. Introduction 1. Introduction

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems regard multiphysics systems in which a fluid flow interacts with a par tially or totally deformable structure. In these problems, the structure is subjected to a wide range of loads related to the presence of the flow, in particular dynamic loads; as a consequence, structure displacements and oscillations Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems regard multiphysics systems in which a fluid flow interacts with a par tially or totally deformable structure.
