THE INTERACTION BETWEEN FLEXIBLE BODIES AND MOVING FLUID

This paper reviews the background and the significance of the flexible-structures-fluid coupling problems, and the current related studies, including the coupling movement of one single flexible body in a uniform flow, the multiple flexible bodies in a uniform flow, and the flexible bodies in a non-uniform flow.From the review, the progress of the research methods and results, and the main influencing factors and their problems are revealed. The future research directions are proposed.
