Experimental data for comparison

BSCW_AePW_expdata_Feb10_2012.ZIP

Experimental Results, in tecplot format, with bad data points removed (both steady and unsteady results are contained in this zip file)

Unsteady results are Frequency Response Functions of pressure coefficients due to oscillatory angle of attack, where angle of attack is in DEGREES

Unsteady results are presented in both rectangular form (Real and Imaginary components) and polar form (Magnitude and Phase).

Structural Dynamics Finite Element Model

Not applicable for the BSCW configuration, which was treated as a rigid structure for AePW analyses. For information regarding the modes of the model, please see the reference publications.
