Abstract:Purpose
This paper aims to present a computational aeroelastic capability based on a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) methodology and validate it using the NASA Common Research Model (CRM). Focus is placed on the effect of the wind tunnel model structural features on the static aeroelastic deformations.
Design/methodology/approach
The FSI methodology couples high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics to a simplified beam representation of the finite element model. Beam models of the detailed CRM wind tunnel… Show more
