Late stages of vortex with breakdown occurring over the top surface of SACCON; traditional control surfaces are very ineffective in these flow conditions, and improved approaches to recover control authority are thus required.
Summary
The presentation will provide an overview of past aeroelastic methods and progress towards introducing high-fidelity simulations in aircraft design.
Bio
Andrea obtained his BSc in Aerospace Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 2005. He received a T.I.M.E. double degree award during his MSc studies in Aeronautical Engineering, from the Politecnico di Milano and the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, in 2008 (thesis title: 'GUESS: Generic Unknowns Estimator for Structural Sizing'). He was awarded a PhD degree in computational fluid dynamics by the University of Liverpool in 2012 (thesis title: 'On the calculation of Dynamic Derivatives Using Computational Fluid Dynamics'). After a short post-doc on aeroelasticity and control of flexible aircraft, he has now been appointed New Frontier Fellow at the University of Southampton (since 2013).
