Analysis of Fluid-Structure Interaction on an Aircraft Wing

Fluid–structure interaction problems in general are often too complex to solve analytically and so they have to be analyzed by means of experiments or numerical simulation. Studying these phenomena requires modeling of both fluid and structure. Many approaches in computational aero elasticity seek to synthesize independent computational approaches for the aerodynamic and the structural dynamic subsystems. This strategy is known to be fraught with complications associated with the interaction between the two simulation modules. AGARD 445.6 wings will be generated along with the fluid domain. The transonic flow in subsonic flow regime (M= 0.9) over the wing will be simulated and the results will be validated by comparing the computational results with the previously published results. The stresses induced corresponding to the flow will be computed using the ANSYS Workbench. This project provides basic knowledge of FSI in aerodynamics.
