Fluid-structure interaction of membrane aerofoils at low Reynolds numbers

This thesis investigates the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem of elastic membrane aerofoils at low Reynolds numbers. The dynamics of the fluid and membrane coupled system is studied via direct numerical simulation (DNS) using a newly developed computational framework whose characteristics a...
