Abstract
Many application problems involve the coupling of fluid-dynamics and solid-dynamics. If a large aircraft is flying, the aerodynamical forces cause a substantial bending of the wings. This deformation significantly alters the geometry of the aircraft and affects its aerodynamical properties. Airborne, the tip of the wing will be deflected upwards by up to 10 m compared to the runway position. A simulation of the dynamics of flying planes must take this coupling into account.
