Hybrid Multi-Material Rotor (HMMR) Phase 2: A Low-Frequency, High Amplitude Hydrodynamic-Fluid-Structure-Interaction Experiment

Abstract

As part of the second phase of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agencys (DARPA)s Hybrid Multi-Material Rotor (HMMR) program, the Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) conducted a fluid-structure-interaction (FSI) experiment in their 12-inch diameter recirculating water tunnel. The goal of the experiment was to produce and accurately measure a low frequency, high-amplitude structural motion that was induced by unsteady fluid dynamic forces. The resulting dataset would be used for development and validation of FSI codes. The test model used was a fin that was swept forward into the flow to simulate a propeller crash back type event.
