Summary
This chapter is devoted to numerical examples and applications intended as tutorials for the interested reader. The possibility to download and use a computer code together with the book is given, and some of the described examples can be replicated using the provided code. The examples are of increasing complexity and they range from simple two-dimensional flows up to complex three-dimensional problems with fluid-structure interaction.
A detailed description of the computer code is also included in order to allow the readers to quickly get acquainted with the method and allow them to modify it according to their needs.
