Fluid-Structure Interaction

A study of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) in aircraft wing design was conducted in this project. Steady-state computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed to characterize the aerodynamic forces acting on a wing profile. Pressure distributions and flow characteristics were captured through these simulations, and the resulting aerodynamic loads were subsequently mapped to a structural analysis framework. Stress distributions and structural deformations throughout the wing were then calculated and analyzed. 

The simulation settings are as follows:

Turbulence model: k-omega SST

Pressure Velocity Coupling: SIMPLE

Inlet: 70 m/s

Wing surface: No Slip

Outlet: 0 Pa far field
