Keywords: Numerical Aeroelasticity

In the collaborative research center SFB 401 at Aachen University, the numerical aeroelastic method SOFIA for direct numerical aeroelastic simulation is being progressively developed. Numerical results attained with SOFIA are compared with measured data of static and dynamic aeroelastic wind tunnel tests for an elastic swept wing in subsonic flow.
