Dynamic modelling of a flexible kite for power generation: Coupling a fluid-structure solver to a dynamic particle system

This thesis investigates the dynamic modelling of a kite power system. The goal was to create a model that is able to capture the complex flight dynamic behaviour of a kite. A proof-of-concept already existed. From that work the steady fluid-structure interaction (FSI) module, using finite elements (FE), was used and coupled to a bridle and...
