A computational aeroelastic framework for studying non-conventional aeronautical systems

A computational co-simulation framework to study the aeroelastic behavior of a variety of aeronautical systems characterized by highly flexible structures undergoing complex motions in space and immersed in a low-subsonic flow is presented. The authors combine a non-linear aerodynamic model based on...
