- Additional information
- Work is first to quantify how fuel sloshing affects aeroelastic flutter, using high-fidelity smoothed particle hydrodynamics to model fuel behaviour. Led to PhD for EPSRC funded student James Hall. It is significant because it brings together for the first time CFD models of aerodynamics and fuel dynamics to show the beneficial influence of fuel motion on damping of aeroelastic motions. Work has allowed the University of Bristol to collaborate on a successful Airbus-led international EU-H2020 application on sloshing wing dynamics (SLOWD-815044), funding two PhD positions at UoB. SLOWD will target wing weight reductions at Airbus by harnessing fuel damping.
