Coupled problems are a persistent matter of interest in science and engineering both for their computational challenges and their numerous applications. In the beginning of this talk we will give a very brief overview on some of our current research areas involving coupled problems. These are ranging from membrane wing aerodynamics, FSI of rocket nozzles to plating processes and the large area of biomechanics. The focus of the talk (and also this extended abstract) will be on computational modeling of the human lung accounting for fluid-structure interaction effects in the airways and interfacial phenomena in the respiratory zone.     «
