| Abstract: | In this paper, we develop governing equations for non‐linear cables as well as a formulation for the coupled flow‐structure problem. The structure is discretized with second‐order accuracy while the flow is discretized using spectral/hp elements in the context of the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian formulation (ALE). Several benchmark problems are considered and the computational implementation is detailed. In the second part of this work large‐scale simulation examples are presented.
