Abstract
We present a novel approach to fluid-structure interactions (FSI) that preserves energy and phase-space structure owing to the variational and Hamiltonian techniques used. We posit a variational principle (VP), for nonlinear potential-flow wave dynamics coupled to a nonlinear hyperelastic mast, and derive its linearization. Both linear and nonlinear formulations can then be discretized in a classical-mechanical VP, using nite element expansions.
