Experimental investigations on fluid-structure interaction using generic configurations (D06)

• Subject Area: Fluid Mechanics ; Mechanics
• Term: from 2008 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 26293245

Sub-project D6 is concerned with the experimental investigation of thermal and aeroelastic fluid-structure interaction using generic configurations in supersonic flow to improve the understanding of such complex coupled physical problems and to provide reference cases for validation of numerical models developed within SFB TRR40. Based on the results from the previous funding periods, the third funding period will be focused on the study of the effects of combined thermal and mechanical loads on a structure as well as large scale buckling deformations. Preparation and analysis of the experiments will be conducted in close cooperation with the numerical simulation sub-projects D3 and D10.
