Our purpose is to provide the reader with insights and global knowledges for his/her own future applications
based on fluid structure interaction.

To use the code you can separately download each matlab scripts or directly download the complete archive (see links below).

The tutorial part describes an example to familiarize the reader with the use of the codes. The codes have been designed as simple as possible,  the user can easily perform modifications for his/her own purposes.

Download

  • Download the complete archive and unpack it to a directory. Add this directory to your MATLAB path, or make it the current directory. 
  • Detailled scripts and functions are given here
