Time Marching Simulation of Aeroelasticity Based on a Coupled Numerical Method

Abstract:

A numerical method integrating computational fluid dynamics and computational structural dynamics for predicating wing flutter in time domain is described. A strong coupling employing the dual-time method is adopted. The Newmark algorithm is used to solve flutter equation in modal spaces while the finite-volume algorithm for the Navier-Stokes equations is used to solve the flow. The computed flutter boundaries of AGARD wing 445.6 for frees-tream Mach numbers ranging from 0.499 to 1.141 agree well with the experiment than using the DLM.
