Special issue: bioinspired fluid-structure interaction.

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) studies the interaction between fluid and solid objects. It helps understand how fluid motion affects solid objects and vice versa. FSI research is important in engineering applications such as aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and structural analysis. It has been used to design efficient systems such as ships, aircraft, and buildings. FSI in biological systems has gained interest in recent years for understanding how organisms interact with their fluidic environment. Our special issue features papers on various biological and bio-inspired FSI problems. Papers in this special issue cover topics ranging from flow physics to optimization and diagonistics. These papers offer new insights into natural systems and inspire the development of new technologies based on natural principles.
