Resumen
- In this paper the numerical simulation of aeroelastic interactions of flexibly supported twodegrees of freedom (2-DOF) airfoil in two-dimensional (2D) incompressible viscous turbulent flow subjected to a gust (sudden change of flow conditions) is considered. The flow is modeled by Reynolds averaged Navier�Stokes equations (RANS), and by k . ù turbulence model. The considered flow problem is discretized in space using the fully stabilized finite element (FE) method implemented in the developed in-house program, which allows to solve interaction problems. In order to treat the time dependent inlet boundary condition the standard stabilization procedure was modified. Further, the under relaxation procedure was introduced in order to overcome the artificial instability of the coupling algorithm. The aeroelastic response to a sudden gust is numerically analyzed with the aid of the developed FE code.
