Aerodynamic and Static Coupling Simulations of the Pazy Wing with Transitional CFD for the Third Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop

The Pazy Wing test case is a benchmark for the investigation of aeroelastic effects at very large deflections. Tip deformations in the order of 50% span were measured in wind tunnel tests which renders this model highly attractive for the validation of numerical aeroelastic methods and tools for geometrically nonlinear, large deflection analyses...

Experimental Aeroelastic Characterization of a Very Flexible Wing in Steady and Unsteady Inflow

The aeroelastic response of a very flexible wing in steady and unsteady inflow conditions is measured in a wind tunnel experiment. An integrated aeroelastic characterization is performed with a non-intrusive optical setup that allows simultaneous measurements of the structural motion and the flow field around the wing. The experimental...

Wing Stiffness and Hinge Release Threshold Effects on Folding Wingtip Gust Load Alleviation

An aeroelastic wind tunnel experiment to identify the influence of the wing stiffness and hinge release threshold on the gust load alleviation performance of a folding wingtip design is presented in this study. Five models with different stiffness and tailoring properties are tested and the wing root bending moment at different conditions is...

Integrated Aeroelastic Measurements of the Periodic Gust Response of a Highly Flexible WIng

The aeroelastic response of a highly flexible wing to periodic gust excitation is determined experimentally. The integrated optical measurement approach that is applied provides combined measurements of the structural response of the wing and the unsteady flow field around it. The aeroelastic loads acting on the wing are derived from these...

CFD Simulations of the Pazy Wing in Support of the Third Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop

The Pazy Wing test case is a benchmark for the investigation of aeroelastic effects at very large deflections. Tip deformations in the order of 50% span were measured in wind tunnel tests, which renders this model highly attractive for the validation of numerical aeroelastic methods and tools for geometrically nonlinear, large deflection...

Gridless Determination of Aerodynamic Loads Using Lagrangian Particle Tracks

The aerodynamic loads on a flexible wing in terms of the surface pressure distribution and the lift force along the span are determined experimentally based on non-intrusive Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) measurements. As the flexible wing deforms under the aerodynamic loads, its deformed shape is first reconstructed based on structural LPT...

Determination of Collar’s Triangle of Forces on a Flexible Wing based on Particle Tracking Velocimetry Measurements

The three components in Collar’s triangle of forces (aerodynamic, elastic and inertial) acting on a flexible wing are determined, based on integrated optical measurements of the structural and the aerodynamic response to steady and unsteady periodic inflow conditions. The measurement device is a coaxial volumetric velocimeter mounted on a...

Optimisation of Differential Infrared Thermography for Unsteady Boundary Layer Transition Measurement

Differential infrared thermography (DIT) is a method of analyzing infrared images to measure the unsteady motion of the laminar–turbulent transition of a boundary layer. It uses the subtraction of two infrared images taken with a short time delay. DIT is a new technique which already demonstrated its validity in<br/>applications related to the...

An Avionics Touch Screen based Control Display Concept

In many cockpits, control display units (CDUs) are vital input and information devices. In order to improve the usability of these devices, Barco, in cooperation with TU-Delft, created a touch screen control unit (TSCU), consisting of a high-quality multi-touch screen. The unit fits in the standard dimensions of a conventional CDU and is thus...

Riprap stability for deep water, shallow water and steep foreshores

In the Rock Manual [2007] two sets of equations for the determination of rock stability in breakwaters armour layers are presented. One set is the original formula presented by Van der Meer [1988], valid for deep water conditions. This set uses the parameters Hs and Tm. The other set is an adaptation of these formulae, using the parameters H2%...
