Abstract:
The Airworthiness Authorities require aircraft to be certified for ditching, a planned emergency landing on water. Traditional means of compliance involve scaled mock-up tests and analytical formulations based on the momentum theory. Although these methods are robust and widely accepted, they have significant limitations in capturing phenomena relevant for accurately predicting the aircraft hydrodynamic behaviour and assessing structural integrity, such as cavitation and a strong fluid-structure interaction. In this seminar, a new method based on the two-way coupling of high-fidelity fluid and structural numerical tools is presented. What are the main requirements for these tools to accurately simulate ditching? Are these methods ready to be industrialized? These questions are the main two research questions to be answered in this seminar.
Jaime Espinosa de los Monteros is a senior impacts engineer at Airbus Defence and Space. His research interests include simulation methods for ditching, crashworthiness and bird strike. He is currently enrolled in his PhD studies at the UPM School of Aerospace (ETSIAE) researching on the topic of this seminar.
