Abstract Design and manufacturing technologies have promoted the use of composites in
hydrodynamic lifting surfaces. Composites, even with state-of-the-art coatings, are …

Gradient-based design optimization of floating structures with many design variables
requires efficient and accurate computation of hydrodynamic coefficients including wave …

The present study investigates experimentally and numerically the impact of composite
materials on hydro-elastic performances of a hydrofoil experiencing Fluid–Structure …

In aircraft design, LCO is an important phenomenon that we need to consider. Future aircraft
are likely to have more flexible wings making them more susceptible to LCO. To avoid this …

Imperfectly scaled models are commonplace in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics because
few facilities can meet all the flow and structural scaling requirements. The objectives of this …

In this work, coupled aircraft design and trajectory optimization is performed with the
objective of producing a tailored UAV con guration and path that ful la mission at peak …

The present research focuses on an advanced coupling of computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) and structural analysis (FEA) on the aeroelastic behaviour of a multi-element inverted …
