An Aeroelastic Solver Integrating Reformulated-Vortex-Particle and Finite-Element Methods across Non-Conforming Interfaces
We present $\texttt{VarFlExI}$ (Variable Fidelity Unsteady Flow-FEniCS Exchange Interface), a modular aeroelastic solver for modeling two-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of flexible lifting surfaces. The framework employs a reformulated Vortex Particle Method (rVPM) to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equat...
