This invited workshop brings together leading and active exponents of FSI research across a wide range of flow regimes and applications and experimental and numerical approaches, from hypersonic/supersonic flows to low-speed FSI on flapping wings, power generation and biomedical flows. While this research has potential application in quite diverse flow regimes, many of the analytical and numerical modelling methods and experimental diagnostics are common between them. Thus, this targeted workshop which brings together many of the leading FSI experts in both experimental methods and numerical simulation will help to guide and focus future work in this area and maximize its success. The workshop will also be an excellent opportunity to expose some of our current research students to the leading specialists and their state-of-the-art research in the wider international FSI community. The workshop will encompass research across a number of subfields of FSI.These areas will include: • High-speed FSI (hypersonic, supersonic, gas turbine propulsion) • Biomimetic FSI (micro UAVs & UUVs, insects and birds, power generation) • Biomedical FSI (blood flow, respiratory, microorganisms) The workshop will include a number of presentations, discussions, panel sessions, and social events including an excursion in the local Canberra area, presenting an excellent opportunity for our FSI community to get to know each other a little better.
