Summary on Grant Application Form |

The fundamental question addressed in this project is as follows. Given the wave-form of a disturbance in a shear flow (eg channel or boundary-layer flow) along a rigid wall, how will this wave-form change when it approaches and passes over a join between the rigid wall and a flexible one and how will the flexible wall respond? We have previously studied this problem by means of numerical simulations. These have exhibited some surprising features that suggest the existence of fairly general physical laws governing the behaviour of waves passing from rigid to flexible walls and vice versa. For example, The kinetic energy of the wave always rises suddenly. An analytical approach will be developed in this research project and used to elucidate these physical laws and general behaviour. Such joins between rigid and flexible walls are found in main flow/structure interaction problems of engineering and biomedical interest.
