Does fluid structure interaction classified as a sub-field within fluid mechanics?

Submitted by ZJ Li on

   

     hi, I am a student in Engineering Mechanics.  I would like to find a lab or a  professor related to fluid structure interaction(FSI) for grad study in USA.  does FSI is part of fluid mechanics discipline? or which is the right department I should search for?

     I have looked through some grad schools, I found some similary key words, such as aeroelasticity,  micro aero vehicles, swimmers, environemantl fluid mechanics, not that close anyway.

Discuss safety in biofuels

Submitted by Omololu Oyebola on

Increasing emerging
economies has resulted in an increase in energy demand, and thus a look into
the Biofuel. Factors such as oil prices, global warming, and explorative access
issues has spurred the development of biofuels.

Biofuels are carbon
neutralizers but issues and challenges such as Fuel vs. Food debate,
life-cycle-environmental impact of biofuels [1] raises question marks over its
development and sustainability to substitute fossil fuels.
