The study is focused on the use of mesh morphing to explore different trims of yachts sails. In
particular, four trims of the fore and aft sail of a model-scale sailing yacht were modelled …

Abstract Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) can be investigated by means of non-linear Finite
Element Models (FEM), suitable to capture large deflections of structural parts interacting …

A numerical static aeroelastic analysis procedure, applying a modal approach in coupling
the fluid dynamic and structural solutions, is presented. The method is based on a …

Interfaces exist in almost all objects and processes. Investigation on the interface not only is
fundamentally important but also has great application prospects. Traditionally, the interface …

A common issue in multiphysics analysis regards a reliable way for loose couplings,
because the same object is modeled using different mesh refinements, each one suited for a …

Purpose The present paper aims to address the description of a numerical optimization
procedure, based on mesh morphing, and its application for the improvement of the …

Abstract Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) numerical modelling requires an efficient workflow
to properly capture the physics involved. Computational Structural Mechanics (CSM) and …

Radial basis function (RBF) interpolation is a robust mesh deformation method, which has
the main property of interpolating the displacements of mesh boundary points to the internal …

Aeroelastic instabilities are some of the critical issues affecting the reliability and safety of
military and commercial aircraft. In this study, a coupled computational fluid dynamics and …

This article describes an innovative methodology to integrate force-feedback capabilities
into an augmented-reality (AR) environment to perform real-time morphing of geometrical …
