Fully coupled fluid-structure interaction simulations

At present, the following documented examples are available that demonstrate fully coupled fluid-structure interaction simulation capability. VTF publications on fluid-structure interaction simulation are also available for downloading. A large number of pure CFD examples can be found under the various patch integrators in the Amroc section; pure CSD examples are documented in the SFC section of this site.
