Aeroelastic wind tunnel tests on a half-wing model have been performed at the University of Naples “Federico II” to acquire data about aerodynamic forces, section pressure coefficient, stress, strain, and model displacement, to validate high fidelity Fluid-Structure Interaction approaches based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes and Finite Element Method solutions investigated at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”.

Abstract
Aeroelastic wind tunnel tests on a half-wing model have been performed at the University of Naples “Federico II” to acquire data about aerodynamic forces, section pressure coefficient, stress, strain, and model displacement, to validate high fidelity Fluid-Structure Interaction approaches based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes and Finite Element Method solutions investigated at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”. Most of the available experimental databases of aeroelastic measurements, performed on aircraft wings, model full scale systems, focusing primarily on aerodynamic aspects rather than on structural similitudes. To investigate flow regimes that replicate realistic operating conditions, wind tunnel test campaigns involve the generation of relative high loads on models whose safe dimensioning force the adoption of structural configurations that lose any similitude with typical wing box topologies. The objective of this work is to generate a database of loads, pressure, stress, and deformation measurements that is significant for a realistic aeronautical design problem. At this aim, a wind tunnel model of a half-wing that replicates a typical metallic wing box structure and instrumented with pressure taps and strain gages has been investigated.
