An efficient evaluation method for wing fuel mass variations effect on transonic aeroelasticity

Continuous Dynamic Simulation for Morphing Wing Aeroelasticity

The morphing of an air vehicle is to change its shape and size substantially during flight. Thus, the morphing vehicle is to achieve a broader range of operational modes, all of which will maximize the vehicle performance throughout its mission profile. The dream of human flight has been to mimic birds or insect flights in similar manner since the days of Leonardo da Vinci. Our current aeronaut...

An Evaluation on the Efficient use of Supercomputers for Computational Aeroelasticity

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the role of supercomputers in large-scale fluid/structure analyses of aerospace vehicles, with an emphasis on computational aeroelasticity dominated by complex fluid/structure interactions. The information presented is primarily based on responses to a web-based survey that was designed to capture the nuances of highperformance computational aeroelasticity and, in ...

Computational Aeroelasticity Framework for Analyzing Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles

Due to their small size and flight regime, coupling of aerodynamics, structural dynamics, and flight dynamics is critical for Micro Aerial Vehicles. This paper presents a computational framework for simulating structural models of varied fidelity and a Navier-Stokes solver, aimed at simulating flapping and flexible wings. The structural model utilizes either (i) the in-house developed UM/NLABS,...
