COMPUTATIONAL DYNAMICS (CD) AND FLUID-STUCTURE INTERACTION (FSI) LAB

The main scope of the present computational Lab is the development of multidisciplinary reduced-order models (ROM) for the computational dynamics (CD) of aerospace structures and for the solution of  stability and response problems induced by fluid-structures interactions (FSI) in aircraft, launch vehicles, and rotorcraft. 

The use of ROMs for multidisciplinary design and optimization (MDO) of innovative aircraft and spacecraft configurations is the base 

Hardware and software computational facilities are available in the CD-FSI lab and they all are addressed to the advanced aircraft/spacecraft  design. 

The software includes commercial codes for the aerodynamic and structural analysis (MSC.NASTRAN) and also in-house developed code on FSI and multi-disciplinary and multi-objective optimization.
