On-Site / Online Lecture Series - Aeroelasticity across Engineering Applications
Monday 14 November 2022 - Friday 18 November 2022Figure: Vorticity contours of a stalling aerofoil at high angle of attack
This online / on-site lecture series aims to give a thorough overview of aeroelasticity across applications ranging from aerospace to civil engineering. The lecture series is designed to provide a theoretical introduction to aeroelasticity followed by insights into the state of the art of aeroelastic research and practice. It is aimed at students and professionals and will cover analytical, computational and experimental methods. It will be delivered by internal and internationally renowned external experts from academia and industry.
The lectures are organised in thematic areas with specific days allocated to aeronautics, turbomachinery and wind engineering, giving participants an opportunity to expand their interdisciplinary knowledge and discover synergies across engineering sectors. Examples will demonstrate the importance of aeroelastic analysis for cutting edge technologies, drawing from the experience of the VKI and lecturers.
At the end of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of aeroelastic principles and phenomena to support root cause analyses and engineering design processes. There will be opportunities for attendees to network and discuss their specialist applications.
The lecture series is directed by Prof. Grigorios Dimitriadis, University of Liège, and Dr. Sina Stapelfeldt, Imperial College London, both also Adjunct Professors at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI).
