In this issue of Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design (NNFM) the results of the collaborative research center SFB 401 Flow Modulation and Fluid-Structure Interaction at Airplane Wings at the Rheinisch-Westf� alische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) Aachen University are reported. The funding was provided by the Deutsche Forschungsgeme- schaft (DFG). The research was performed from 1997 through 2008 and on the average consisted of more than 14 subprojects per year. Approximately 110 scientists from universities of the Austria, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Russia, South Korea, S- den, Switzerland, United States, and international research organizations such as DLR, NASA, NLR, ONERA were invited. The distinct scientists from all over the world gave seminars on topics related to the research ?elds tackled in the collaborative research center SFB 401. Some of them stayed for just a few days, others were hosted for a longer time to intensify the joint research.

Dalla quarta di copertina

The Collaborative Research Center SFB 401: Flow Modulation and Fluid-StructureInteraction at Airplane Wings investigates numerically and experimentally fundamentalproblems of very high capacity aircraft having large elastic wings. This issue summarizesthe findings of the 12-year research program at RWTH Aachen University whichwas funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) from 1997 through2008. The research program covered the following three main topics of large transportaircraft: (i) Model flow, wakes, and vortices of airplanes in high-lift-configuration,(ii) Numerical tools for large scale adaptive flow simulation based on multiscaleanalysis and a parametric mapping concept for grid generation, and (iii) Validatedcomputational design tools based on direct aeroelastic simulation with reducedstructural models.
