Holistic Optical Metrology for Aero-Elastic Research (HOMER)
HOMER will produce benchmark experimental data sets which are ideally suited for comparison with and validation of advanced coupled CFD-FEM/CSM codes which are recently under fast development for flows coping with the problems of unsteady Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI). The main aim of HOMER is the development of advanced experimental methods that enables the delivery of volumetric flow field and dynamic surface deformation data in a holistic manner needed for a better understanding of unsteady flows and aero-elastics and the validation and development of improved numerical tools including FSI simulation that will be used e.g. for innovative aircraft design with improved energy efficiency and environmental performances.
