Recent Progress in Aerodynamics for Aeroelastic Analysis

Abstract: Aerodynamics has gained considerable popularity in the aerospace industry. Based on the characteristics of a structure, aerodynamic behavior varies from structure to structure. A reliable aeroelastic analysis requires accurate capture of aerodynamic forces. To produce accurate aerodynamic loads, it is necessary to develop an appropriate aerodynamic model. A review of various approaches to aerodynamic modeling for aeroelastic analysis of diverse wing configurations is presented in this paper. The study covers a wide range of finite element software platforms used in the aeroelastic analysis in various flow regimes.
