Flapping and bending bodies interacting with fluid flows. (English) Zbl 1299.76001

Davis, Stephen H. (ed.) et al., Annual review of fluid mechanics. Vol. 43. Palo Alto, CA: Annual Reviews (ISBN 978-0-8243-0743-1/hbk). Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics 43, 449-465 (2011).
Summary: The flapping or bending of a flexible planar structure in a surrounding fluid flow, which includes the flapping of flags and the self-streamlining of flexible bodies, constitutes a central problem in the field of fluid-body interactions. Here we review recent, highly detailed experiments that reveal new nonlinear phenomena in these systems, as well as advances in theoretical understanding, resulting in large part from the rapid development of new simulation methods that fully capture the mutual coupling of fluids and flexible solids.
