Consists of 12 articles based on the papers presented during the March 2001 symposium that sum up the state of the art in collapsible tubes, the instability of flow past compliant walls, drag reduction, and turbulence modification. The contributors survey theoretical models of biological applications, research on wave excitation of flexible walls in the presence of fluid flow, propagation of waves across junctions between rigid and compliant walls, theoretical approaches to the effect of wall compliance on turbulent flow, and dolphin hydrodynamics for laminar flow.
