Offer Description

Nature is full of thin, flexible objects that bend, flutter, or flap in the wind or the water due to fluid-structure interactions. Past studies on fluid-structure interactions have predominantly focused on thin rectangular flexible sheets or filaments in steady winds. Few investigations have focused on the influence of morphology and the effect of unsteady flow perturbations on the flapping dynamics of thin, flexible objects.

In this SNSF-funded project Morphlag, we propose a paradigm shift in conducting unsteady fluid-structure interaction measurements to close these gaps. We will develop an intelligent automated experimentation pipeline to fundamentally study how fluid-structure interactions of cantilevered flexible sheets or flags depend on their morphological design. The project's ultimate goal is to set a benchmark for unsupervised experimental aerodynamic investigations and optimisation studies and demonstrate the approach by revealing new physical insights and discovering new scaling laws describing the dynamics of flags with arbitrary shapes and non-uniform bending stiffness through venation in steady and unsteady winds. These novel physical insights can inform the future design of agile and efficient bio-inspired propulsion systems and novel energy harvesting solutions using flexible plates or kites.
