Rigid body fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling
describes how the 
presence of one or more immersed objects affect the flow
field and how 
the forces from the surrounding fluid influence the dynamics
of the 
object. In this workshop we will discuss the theory behind
FSI, the 
numerics of the dynamics solver, and the coupling of the
dynamics 
solver to the flow solver in CONVERGE. We will consider several 
examples (a pressure relief valve, a spool valve, and an
injector 
armature) that highlight the current capabilities of FSI
modeling in 
CONVERGE. Finally, we will discuss complex examples that
invoke a 
user-defined function coupled with FSI to model deforming
bodies such 
as reed valve petals or a spring-close ball valve.
