We continue our seminars serie, on Thursday, May 8th at 13.00
On site: Salón de Grados (Leganés)
For this event in the Aerospace PhD Seminar Series, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Ignacio Andreu, Assistant Professor Aerospace Department UC3M.
The event took place in the Salón de Grados on Thursday, May 8th at 13.00 pm and was streamed (Online).
Ignacio Andreu Angulo completed a Bachelor’s degree at the University of Maryland and a Master’s degree at the University of Illinois, where his theses focused on analysing dynamic stall applied to 3D rotors. Afterwards, he obtained a PhD from the University of Cambridge studying gust load mitigation using wing motions. Ignacio also worked for two years as a fluid dynamics engineer in Emirates Team New Zealand, where he contributed to the development of the foils, rudder, and hull.
“A tale of unsteady wing aerodynamics“
Abstract:
Unsteady wing aerodynamics are all around us. From the flight of insects to the operation of helicopters, understanding the dynamics of rapidly changing flow fields is essential to understand several flight scenarios. For instance, grasping the aerodynamics of flapping wing flight requires insight into vortex shedding and added mass forces. Similar knowledge is also critical for ensuring safe flight in environments with strong gusts. In this talk, we’ll explore some key concepts of unsteady wing aerodynamics, presented through the research journey of Dr. Ignacio Andreu. Topics will include the role of vorticity fields in producing aerodynamic forces, as well as the use of physics-based low-order models to calculate unsteady aerodynamic loads.
The seminar began at 13:00.
No previous registration was required.
