NEW! Workshop “Flutter Investigations”, Warsaw, 21-22.11.2011

Seminarium “Badania flatterowe”, Poznań, 15.11.2011


The only one in Poland FLUTTER LABORATORY is a common establishment of Institute of Aviation in Warsaw and Poznan University of Technology (see the post).

PUT is responsible for computational tasks while IoA deals with experiments and flight tests. The basis for our activity is the former EU-TAURUS project and scientific work of the group. The emphasis of the Laboratory and PUT activity is in practical, industrial applications. PUT has developed generic in-house aeroelastic-oriented FEM system coupled with the CFD code (presently DLR TAU-Code), with the use of coupling surface and AE-modules. PUT performs presently unsteady aeroelastic computations for the whole aircraft configurations. This activity is targeting computationally assisted tests of aircrafts.

Fluid-structure interaction, taking into account the nonlinearity of structural models, is concerned. Aeroelastic simulation of full I22-Iryda aircraft based on GVT model configuration presents the capability of used numerical codes to analyse large-scale complex geometries. All computations are carried out in parallel environment for CFD mesh of order of millions tetrahedral elements.
