Minisymposium description:
------------------------- 

The objective of this Mini Symposium is to discuss progress and recent achievements in 
numerical computation of fluid-structure interaction, with an emphasis on new methods 
and algorithms leading to faster, more accurate predictions and better software design 
for applications within (but not limited to) aero-elasticity, hydro-elasticity, 
noise/structural acoustic. In particular, contributions dealing with robust and efficient 
coupling algorithms handling problems where the interaction between the fluid and structure 
is sensitive, e.g involving thin-walled structures and membranes, are of interest. 
Furthermore, we welcome contributions within error estimation, adaptive methods, reduced 
order models, control-theory, software engineering etc. applied to fluid-structure 
interaction problems.
