Abstract
Theoretical and computational investigations of wave excitation and evolution in fully-coupled flow-structure systems are discussed. A distinguishing feature of the body of work reviewed is its attempt to shed light on how and where waves come into being in response to some form of applied excitation. Identifying the properties of such waves and their contributions to the overall system behaviour is also a key objective of the studies reviewed. The model problem of waves initiated by line excitation applied to an elastic plate adjacent to a uniform flow (Brazier-Smith & Scott 1984 and Crighton & Oswell 1991) is first described. Thereafter, work that incorporates enhancements to the structural, geometric and fluid-flow models is presented. The results of these studies are related to the findings of the progenitor model problem in order to assess its general applicability in this branch of fluid-structure interaction.
