Watch the new SLOWD video that was created by University of Bristol about the fuel sloshing effects experienced in-flight. The experiment is replicating a scaled wing structure with representative 70% full fuel tanks being deflected and then released. The resulting measured fluid and structural motions are used to gain understanding of the physics involved in such fluid-structure interactions and to provide validation test cases for the computational models that have been developed in SLOWD.
On the 16th and 17th of March, 2022, the SLOWD team of researchers conducted its M30 Technical Progress Meeting. The meeting was hybrid, taking place online, and onsite in Madrid, Spain, providing an exceptional opportunity to the consortium partners to meet each other for the first time in person in two years.
SLOWD project is pleased to take part in the 11th EASN Virtual International Conference which will take place online between 01 and 03 September 2021.
The SLOWD Review meeting and a fruitful series of internal Progress meetings were successfully held from 19 to 22 of April, 2021 in a digital format. The meetings were attended by representatives of all entities involved in SLOWD.
New video is now online on our youtube channel! Watch it at this link or below! The wings of large civil passenger aircrafts are highly flexible structures, that house the fuel tanks but can be deformed significantly when atmospheric turbulence or gust is encountered.
The scientific peer-reviewed paper of our SLOWD colleagues-J. Martinez-Carrascal and L.M. González-Gutiérrez - under the title "Experimental study of the liquid damping effects on a SDOF vertical sloshing tank" is out. The article was digitally published in the Journal of Fluids and Structures on the 12th of November and it is available in open access through the following links.
The SLOWD project was delighted to participate in the 10th EASN Virtual International Conference on “Innovation in Aviation & Space to the Satisfaction of the European Citizens”, which took place online between 02 and 04 September, 2020 .
Over the years the EASN conference has been established as a major European Dissemination event. The 10th international gathering of the EASN Association was attended by more than 350 researchers from various disciplines who presented their high quality recent achievements and new upstream research ideas.
