摘要

A procedure coupling Reynold-averaged Navier-Stokes computation and finite element method analysis based on the use of radial basis functions has been set up and validated against experimental data. A static fluid-structure simulation on a complete aircraft configuration has been performed coupling high-fidelity methods. The analysis was performed on a wind-tunnel aircraft model in high-speed,configuration using the commercial CFD++Navier-Stokes code and the Nastran structural analysis code. The mesh morphing tool RBF-Morph and load interpolation procedures were applied to couple the two solutions. The results of the analysis were validated against Piaggio Aero Industries property high-speed experimental data, obtained during a test campaign performed in the ONERA S2MA transonic wind tunnel.
