“…A simplified model of blood flow in large arteries is used in [3,12,14,17]. The problem of a flexible beam interacting with the wake behind a rigid cylinder in a laminar flow as presented in [42] has been modeled in [12,16,19,21,34] among others. Other examples include the lid driven cavity with a flexible bottom [18,20,26,27,35], a cantilevered shell in a cross flow [2,21], parachute systems [25,[36][37][38][39]41] and comparison with experimental results [12,22,29,34].…”
