A three-dimensional simulation of hovering flapping wings was performed using an immersed noundary method. This was done to investigate the effects of chordwise wing deformation on three important unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms found in flapping flight, namely Leading Edge Vortex (LEV) shedding, wake capture and clap and fling. A wing was...

In this paper, the influence of wing flexibility and the 'clap-and-peel' motion (one versus two wings) on the upward (lifting) force in hover is studied. CFD simulations based on the ALE Navier-Stokes equations together with radial basis function mesh interpolation are used. For the 'clap-and-peel' motion an immersed symmetry plane is introduced...

Numerical simulations have been performed to examine the interference effects between an upstream flapping airfoil and a downstream stationary airfoil in a tandem configuration at a Reynolds number of 1000, which is around the regime of small flapping micro aerial vehicles. The objective is to investigate the effect of the distance of the tail...

For goal-oriented model adaptation a model-error estimator is required to drive the adaptation process. In recent years publications have appeared on the dual-weighted residual (DWR) method in the application of model-error estimation in output functionals. In this paper we study the application of the DWR method for convection-diffusion...

In this paper the aeroelastic stability of a wind turbine rotor in the dynamic stall regime is investigated. Increased flexibility of modern turbine blades makes them more susceptible to aeroelastic instabilities. Complex oscillation modes like flap/lead-lag are of particular concern, which give way to potential structural damage, see...

In fluid-structure interaction simulations the meshes at the fluid-structure interface usually do not match, because of the different mesh requirements for the flow and structure. The exchange of data over the discrete interface becomes then far from trivial. In this paper we investigate the difference in accuracy and efficiency between a...

In this paper a Two Step approach with Chaos Collocation for efficient uncertainty quantification in computational fluid-structure interactions is followed. In Step I, a Sensitivity Analysis is used to efficiently narrow the problem down from multiple uncertain parameters to one parameter which has the largest influence on the solution. In Step...

A monomial chaos approach is proposed for efficient uncertainty quantification in nonlinear computational problems. Propagating uncertainty through nonlinear equations can still be computationally intensive for existing uncertainty quantification methods. It usually results in a set of nonlinear equations which can be coupled. The proposed...

A new point-by-point mesh movement algorithm is developed for the deformation of unstructured grids. The method is based on using radial basis function, RBFs, to interpolate the displacements of the boundary nodes to the whole flow mesh. A small system of equations has to be solved, only involving the nodes on the boundary of the flow domain....

Inherent physical uncertainties can have a significant influence on computational predictions. It is therefore important to take physical uncertainties into account to obtain more reliable computational predictions. The Galerkin polynomial chaos method is a commonly applied uncertainty quantification method. However, the polynomial chaos...

In this paper we use the multigrid algorithm - commonly used to improve the efficiency of the flow solver - to improve the efficiency of partitioned fluid-structure interaction iterations. Coupling not only the structure with the fine flow mesh, but also with the coarse flow mesh (often present due to the multigrid scheme) leads to a significant...
