Split velocity method

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 …

Assessment of two wind gust injection methods: Field velocity vs. split velocity method

The objective of the present paper is to revisit two well-known wind gust injection methods inconsistent manner and to assess their performance based on different application cases. These are the field velocity method (FVM) and the split velocity …
