We consider the Euler equations on a domain with free moving interface. The motion of the interface is governed by a 4th order linear Euler-Bernoulli beam equation. The fluid structure interaction  dynamics are realized through normal velocity matching of the fluid and the structure in addition to the aerodynamic forcing due to the fluid pressure.
We derive a-priori estimates and construct local-in-time solutions to the system in the Sobolev space H^r, with r>5/2. We also establish uniqueness in the Sobolev space H^r with r>3. An important consequence of the existence theorem is that the Taylor-Rayleigh instability does not occur. This is joint work with Igor Kukavica.
