Why is it important?
This work achieves very challenging task of formulating a time-dependent adjoint formulation that tightly couples (i.e. every time instance) aerodynamics and structural dynamics of flexible rotary wing problems.
Perspectives
A state of the art unsteady coupled adjoint formulation in aerospace industry.
