Purpose and goal
We investigate two unsteady flow phenomena: shock buffeting and flow oscillations in cavities. These phenomena lead to high pressure fluctuations and thereby fatigue of structures. The goal of this project is to understand, develop and apply numerical tools to predict the above-mentioned phenomena and thereby correct prediction of unsteady loads.
Expected effects and result
New numerical tools for investigation of unsteady flow phenomena
Planned approach and implementation
The project consists of four work packages: WP1: Project management WP2: Studies of shock-boundary layer interaction WP3: Studies of cavity flow WP4: Synthesis of results
