Assimilation of camera measurements on wing models with large displacements and large rotations to estimate kinematics and aerodynamic forces in a subsonic wind tunnel.

PhD thesis of MAETZ Florian

Summary : 

The aim of the proposed research project is to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of flexible wings in large displacements and rotations, and in the quasi-stationary post-bifurcation limit cycle regime. The chosen method is based on data assimilation methods (Kalman filters) structured by experimental data from 3D camera measurements and nonlinear continuum mechanics models.
