Swiss/Finnish Collaboration on Aeroelastic Simulations for the F/A-18 Fighter

摘要

In this paper aeroelastic simulations are presented for the F/A-18 fighter. Two CFD solvers (NSMB and FINFLO) developed in two countries, two computational grids and FEM models are utilized. In addition, different turbulence closures are applied. Results are given for a deformed and undeformed geometries by varying turbulence models, grid densities and the computational grids.
