Description
Fluid Structure Interaction 2013 is the seventh conference in this successful series, dedicated to the memory of its originator, the late Professor Subrata Chakrabarti. The series provides a forum for the presentation of new ideas and the latest work in the specialised field of fluid structure interaction.
The principal aim of this conference is to promote international exchange of information and knowledge of fluid structure interaction problems, giving experts from different application fields the opportunity to interact with one another and to provide valuable cross breeding of ideas and techniques.
The conference will encompass a wide range of topics within this area ranging from different types of fluids, such as; wind, current, biofluids and ocean waves to different types of structures; tall buildings, ocean structures, cables, towers, bridges, risers and others. New research for the advancement of interaction problems will be the main focus of the conference. Papers with new applications to real world problems will be particularly welcome. The basic mathematical formulations of fluid structure interaction and their numerical simulation will also be discussed, as well as physical modelling. Papers are sought in areas such as advanced experimental modelling and new applications of interaction.
The first meeting in this series was held in Halkidiki, Greece in 2001, followed by another one in Cadiz, Spain in 2003, another in A Coruña, Spain in 2005, one at the Wessex Institute's New Forest campus in the UK in 2007, then a 2009 conference in Crete, Greece. The latest meeting took place in Orlando, Florida, in 2011.
Subratra Chakrabarti
Subrata was a world-renowned expert in design and analysis of offshore structures, namely oil platforms. He was involved in the development of several offshore projects in many countries around the world. He was a frequent visitor to the Wessex Institute of Technology where he regularly taught two courses on those fields. He was author of a best selling book on the topic ‘Hydrodynamics of Offshore Structures’ published by the Institute's academic press (ISBN: 978-0-90545-166-4, eISBN: 9781845643980).
