Aeroelastic Indicial Response Reduced-Order Modeling for Flexible Flight Vehicles

What is it about?

Unsteady aerodynamic reduced-order models seek to match the predictive capability of full-order CFD simulations, but at a significantly reduced computational cost. We demonstrate for the first time how to develop unsteady aerodynamic reduced-order models for flexible flight vehicles, including the impact of fluid-structure interactions on maneuvering vehicle aerodynamics.
