Embry-Riddle partners with private and public entities to assist in developing solutions to today's and tomorrow's aeronautical and aerospace problems. Here at the world's largest aviation-oriented university, our focus on applied research is unique.

Aeroelastic Gust-Airfoil Interaction Numerical Studies

PI Vladimir Golubev

The project conducted in collaboration with WPAFB and Eglin AFB AFRL scientists over the past 8 years employs DOD HPC and ERAU computer facilities to conduct high-fidelity, low-Reynolds, aeroelastic gust-airfoil interaction studies to model unsteady responses and their control for small UAVs operating, e.g., in highly unsteady urban canyons.

The focus is on modeling airfoil interactions with canonical upstream flow configurations including time-harmonic and sharp-edge gusts, vortices and synthetic turbulence with prescribed characteristics tailored to a specified unsteady flight-path environment. Note that this and other listed projects that include noise predictions and noise/flow control components are partially supported by Florida Center for Advanced Aero Propulsion (FCAAP) in these efforts
