Quasi-Static Fluid-Structure Interactions Based on a Geometric Description of Fluids

This thesis deals with the description of quasi-static fluid-structure interactions. Regarding an efficient computation of such kind of problems all relevant properties of the fluid, such as density, pressure or fluid level, will be captured using only the geometry of the surrounding wetted structure. This allows an analytical description of the fluid, with its strain energy implemented in a volume-dependent energetic equivalent loading acting on the structure.
