Ground testing facilities have been used since long in aeronautics and aerospace, as they have been developed for environmental and industrial applications. Nowadays they are still major sources of key data for investigations in all fields of fluid dynamics. This hybrid lecture series (online / on-site) is organized for student and engineers to provide a comprehensive understanding of the design, operation and application of ground testing facilities from all speed regimes.

This course serves as an introduction to aeroelasticity providing the theoretical basis and hands-on experience for applications to aircraft and rotor design and R&D projects. Starting with the description of the basic aeroelastic phenomena of interest, the course will familiarize the participants with concepts such as aeroelastic deformation, static divergence, control reversal, flutter and gust loads. Fast aeroelastic modelling techniques based on potential flow theory will be presented and some of them will be practiced. Current industrial practice in aircraft design will be presented, and future avenues will be discussed. Special emphasis is put on interaction with the participants and on practical exercises.

This lecture series provides a review of the latest understanding and state-of-the-art research in turbomachinery aeroelasticity. After an introduction to the field, recent research on forced response, flutter and non-synchronous vibration will be presented, including high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics and cutting-edge experimental techniques. In view of more integrated propulsion systems, two lectures will be dedicated to the effects of intake distortions. An introduction into computational methodologies for aeroelasticity in turbomachines, including the latest time-marching and frequency-domain methods, will also be given. The course is aimed at participants from industry and academia, who wish to develop and deepen their understanding of complex aeroelastic phenomena in turbomachinery to aid design predictions and root cause analysis
