The conceptual designing of rotating machines such as fans, wind turbines, contra-rotating open rotors and helicopter blades require low-cost, easy-to-run tools which allow quick noise assessments and optimization analyses underlying this phenomenon. The state-of-the-art numerical and experimental methods are far more expensive to conduct an optimi...
Starting from a Finite-Volume Method solving the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible fluid flow and a Finite-Element Method based on quasi one-dimensional Timoshenko beam elements for structural dynamics, a numerical method for coupled aeroelastic problems of flight vehicles is developed. Using the method, extended aerodynamic stability deriva...
The direct numerical simulation of fluid-structure-interaction has received a lot of attention in recent years. Due to the growing size of planned commercial airplanes and the widespread use of lightweight-structures leading to large elastic deflections in flight, great interest of commercial applications of such simulation techniques has developed...
