Meet the editors

Dr. Khaled Ghaedi has been in both the academia and industry fields. He has built his professional career holding different positions over the years with experience in engineering and research. He is the technical director of the engineering software and solutions provider in Malaysia to support the industry in Southeast Asia. He is the committee member of the international structural design code, ASCE 7-22. He has frequently published

his research papers in well-known journals in different engineering fields such as earthquake engineering, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and materials and damage assessment of buildings, bridges, and dams. He has contributed to the process of knowledge sharing through his roles as an editorial board member, reviewer, and committee member of eminent journals, conferences institutes, and organizations.

Ahmed Alhusseny received a BSc and MSc in HVAC&R Engineering from the University of Technology, Iraq, in 2001 and 2005, respectively. He then joined the University of Kufa, Najaf, Iraq, as a member of academic staff in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Later, he joined the School of MACE, University of Manchester, UK, as a researcher where he was awarded a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2016. Dr. Alhus-

seny is still associated with the University of Manchester as a researcher although he has returned to Iraq and resumed his former job there as an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the head of the Branch of Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering at the University of Kufa.

Dr. Adel Nasser is currently a senior lecturer at the University of Manchester. He developed and delivered several undergraduate and postgraduate modules on computing, modeling, and simulations. His research revolves around the use of state-of-the-art modeling and simulation techniques to tackle a wide range of topics within fluid dynamics and solid mechanics and their interaction in complex engineering problems. This covers renewable

energy (both solar and wind energy), turbulence, convective heat transfer, multiphase flows, and thermal energy storage technologies. Such research contributes to the blueprint of more efficient, economically affordable energy sources to improve the lifestyle of society and individuals alike. Dr. Nasser has extensive experience in IT services involving frontline service, high-performance computing, and eLearning systems. www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/a.g.nasser.html

Nabeel Al-Zurfi obtained a BSc and MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kufa, Najaf, Iraq, in 2002 and 2005, respectively. He then worked as a member of academic staff in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the same university. Later, he joined the School of MACE, University of Manchester, UK, as a sponsored Ph.D. student where he was awarded a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2016. Dr. Al-Zurfi Contents

Seismic Response Characteristics of RCC Dams Considering Fluid-Structure Interaction of Dam-Reservoir System *by Khaled Ghaedi, Farzad Hejazi, Meisam Gordan, Ahad Javanmardi, Hamed Khatibi and Ali Joharchi*

Preface

Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), also known as engineering fluid mechanics, deals with mutual interaction between fluid and structural components. The fluid flow, depending on the structural shape, motion, surface, and structural roughness, acts as mechanical forces on the structure. FSI can be seen everywhere in medicine, engineering, aerospace, the sciences, and even our daily life, for example, when a water tap is opened or blocked. This book provides the basic concept of fluid flow behavior in interaction with struc-

Along with the fundamental principles, the book covers a variety of FSI problems ranging from fundamentals of fluid mechanics to plasma physics, wind turbines and their turbulence, heat transfer, magnetohydrodynamics, and dam-reservoir systems. This extensive and methodically prepared book provides a concise, detailed, and thorough discussion of the essentials and principles in FSI. The chapters cover the theory and study of fluid mechanics with a focus on problems concerning fluid flow using simple

Each chapter starts with statements of relevant explanations, definitions, and axioms together with instructive material for solving the problems. The solved problems show the theory and recommend computation approaches to empower the reader to implement the fundamental rules properly and with confidence. Derivations of theoretical formulations are involved within the explained problems and the discussed materials in each chapter

This book is a useful reference for fluid mechanics students as well as practicing engineers and we hope our readers benefit from the information contained herein. We would
