Dissecting The Flow Physics Of Aeroelastic Wing Flutter
Abstract
The objective of the proposed project is to investigate the flow-physics associated with the aeroelasticflutter (AF) of wings, using a combination of computational modeling and experiments. Thecomputational modeling will employ flow-structure interaction simulations where the flow is solvedusing an immersed boundary method based DNS/LES solver, and the dynamics of the airfoil are stronglycoupled with the flow solver. Companion experiments will be conducted in a matched index-of-refraction(MIR) facility that allows PIV measurements deep into the boundary layer over the foil and theexperimental rig will be designed to enable significant control over the flow as well as airfoil flutterparameters.
