Here we seek to extend our CFD platforms to include fluid-structure interactions (FSI) important for biomedical, aerodynamic, and many other applications. Our first step will be to incorporate FSI into the WenoCFD code and benchmark against previously published test cases. The structural solver is being developed in collaboration with our collaborators here and is a novel, fast, efficient, and high-order accurate approach. Applications to cardiovascular flows will follow…here is our first ever FSI result from an in-house code from the CFDLAB…very proud…
