AePW-1 Agenda and Presentations

The first AIAA aeroelastic prediction workshop (AePW) was held April 21-22, 2012. Analysts from 10 nations participated; 6 teams analyzed the rectangular supercritical wing (RSW); 6 teams analyzed the Benchmark Supercritical Wing (BSCW); 14 teams analyzed HIRENASD.

The objective of the first AePW was to assess our capabilities for predicting unsteady aerodynamic characteristics that occur due to forced oscillations of rigid and very weakly coupled aeroelastic systems. Static or steady analyses were viewed as stepping stones in the process of assessing the unsteady characteristics. The principal analysis conditions analyzed were chosen to be in the transonic range. Three configurations with different assumed flow complexities were chosen, analyzed and compared with steady and unsteady experimental data.
