When flying, the hydrofoil presents large deformations which impact significantly the hydrodynamic loads expected. The present work focuses on an experimental campaign performed on a trapezoidal hydrofoil, made of polyacetate material, in the hydrodynamic tunnel at the Research Institute of French Naval Academy. Large deformations up to 4.5% of the span on the hydrofoil’s tip are measured at angle of incidence 10° for Re=0:7 x 10 6 calculated at mean chord. Vibration analysis performed on this foil, highlights an increase of its resonance frequencies with bending loading. A coupled approach between the Vortex Lattice Method (VLM) potential flow code, AVL, for inviscid calculations, corrected to consider the viscous component and, an in-house structural code based on beam theory by Finite Element Method (FEM) is developed for this application. The comparisons of simulations show good agreements with experiments in a large range of angles of incidence and flow velocities.
