Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is the multiphysics study of how fluids and structures interact. The fluid flow may exert pressure and/or thermal loads on the structure. These loads may cause structural deformation significant enough to change the fluid flow itself. Undesired effects in your product may increase as the level of the fluid-structure interaction increases.

A porous medium is a solid with voids distributed more or less uniformly throughout the bulk of the body.
The basic characteristic of this medium is porosity. The bulk porosity Π of a material is defined as the ratio of void volume Vv to body volume V0, Π = Vv/V0. Since the remaining portion Vs of the total volume of the material is in the form of a solid “skeleton”, then
