Fluid–structure interaction (FSI)

Numerical simulation of turbulent wind gusts and their dynamic effects on flexible structures

Doctoral thesis.

Combination of two FSI methods and their validation based on artificial wind gusts impacting a flexible T-structure

The study focuses on the combination of two numerical approaches that are typically not used together in this manner. The first is a well-established partitioned fluid–structure interaction (FSI) simulation methodology relying on a finite-volume …

Aeroelastic response of an elastically mounted 2-DOF airfoil and its gust-induced oscillations

The paper is concerned with numerical investigations on the effect of vertical wind gusts on airfoils in a parameter range relevant for Micro-Air Vehicles. Using a simplified substitute model instead of an elastic wing, a rigid but elastically …

FSI simulations of wind gusts impacting an air-inflated flexible membrane at Re = 100,000

The paper addresses the simulation of turbulent wind gusts hitting rigid and flexible structures. The purpose is to show that such kind of complex fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems can be simulated by high-fidelity numerical techniques with …
