Abstract

Recently, non-rigid structures show potential in the field of aerospace because of low weight and flexibility. In this research, the model which has a triangular pyramid shape with the windward surface made from elastic membrane was tested in the supersonic wind tunnel at Mach number 3 to investigate its aerodynamic characteristics. The results show that aerodynamic characteristics depend on the non-dimensional aero-elasticity parameter CAE , which represents the ratio of the aerodynamic force to the elastic force. Both lift and drag decreased but L/D increased when CAE increased, because the windward surface is stretched in the downstream direction due to elastic deformation of the menbrane. The numerical analysis was made by the combination of compressible Navier-Stokes analysis and a three-dimensional particle-based membrane model. The experimental fact that the membrane near the trailing edge was torn when the dynamic pressure exceeded a certain value was con?rmed by the numerical analysis.
