Pressure distribution past an aerofoil
Hi everyone,
I am trying to model the deformation that might have an aerofoil under a given pressure distribution. This pressure distribution is given with CFD.
In order to model these deformations I use Patran (FE), and here comes the issue.
In order to apply the pressure distribution on the upper and lower aerofoil edge, I need to create a shell, which must have a thickness. As a result, the bigger is this thickness and the lower will be the deflection ( which is normal as I am applying pressure). My question is, how can I apply a pressure on the upper and lower edge without creating a shell. In a different way, would it be possible with using a shell to avoid this issue?
Many thanks

LeonpolouEdit:
Actually, no the pressure shouldn't be lower with increasing the pressure. My apologize for this mistake. I am then trying to give a pressure to a surface, whatever is the area. -
Ramani AswathLet us consider a zero thickness airfoil edge. I f there is a higher pressure on one side than the other, the air foil keeps deflecting, thereby changing the angle of attack till the pressures equalize.

Capt SparkIt is not required to create shell to put pressure on airfoil. If you are modeling with solid elements (yhough I personally thing airfoils should be modeled with shell + beam), you can select the application region as 3D elements. Hope u are giving the pressure input as field functions
