Tightly coupled aeroelastic model implementation dedicated to fast aeroelastic tailoring optimisation of high aspect ratio composite wing

This paper presents the development of a code, called GEBTAero, dedicated to very flexible aircraft (VFA) aeroelasticity and especially the evaluation of aeroelastic tailoring effect on critical speeds. GEBTAero is an open source code consisting in a tightly coupling between a geometrically exact beam theory -and a finite state induced flow unsteady aerodynamic model, including an homogenisation tool. This model has been implemented in Fortran using GEBT code and optimised open source libraries with particular focus on computation speed. Besides a non linear transient dynamic simulation capacity, a particular focus is put on the fast critical speed computation strategy using a non-iterative modal approach about the geometrically non linear deformed shape of the wing with the computation of only a few aeroelastic modes. Computation speed and accuracy of this implementation is assessed using widely used aeroelastic test cases and compared successfully to other aeroelastic codes. Configurations using aeroelastic tailoring, which are the core target of this solver, are then evaluated numerically on a representative high aspect ratio anisotropic composite wing and a simple 2-ply composite laminates with both variable ply orientations. It illustrates the strong correlation between the structural bending/twisting coupling of an unbalanced composite laminates and its critical aeroelastic speed. It also shows the high sensitivity of ply orientation on the aeroelastic behaviour.     

Bifurcation analysis of reduced rotor model based on nonlinear transient POD method

The singularity theory is applied to study the bifurcation behaviors of a reduced rotor model obtained by nonlinear transient POD method in this paper. A six degrees of freedom (DOFs) rotor model with cubically nonlinear stiffness supporting at both ends is established by the Newton's second law. The nonlinear transient POD method is used to reduce a six-DOFs model to a one-DOF one. The reduced model reserves the dynamical characteristics and occupies most POM energy of the original one. The singularity of the reduced system is analyzed, which replaces the original system. The bifurcation equation of the reduced model indicates that it is a high co-dimension bifurcation problem with co-dimension 6, and the universal unfolding (UN) is provided. The transient sets of six unfolding parameters, the bifurcation diagrams between the bifurcation parameter and the state variable are plotted. The results obtained in this paper present a new kind of method to study the UN theory of multi-DOFs rotor system.     

基于降阶均匀化理论的混凝土双尺度力学性能分析

混凝土材料细观特性对宏观力学性能有着重要影响。为进一步分析混凝土细观特性对宏观力学行为的影响规律,将混凝土材料简化为由骨料、砂浆和界面三相组成,编制了随机凸多面体骨料生成、投放和网格剖分算法,建立可用于有限元计算的满足级配要求的随机细观模型。针对直接使用细观力学模型计算量较大的问题,采用降阶均匀化理论,对混凝土细观胞元模型进行预处理并编制了相应的双尺度计算程序。对不同强度混凝土进行了单轴静态压缩双尺度计算,与实验数据和细观力学模拟结果符合较好。研究表明,降阶均匀化理论在加快求解速度的同时具有较高的精度,可以用于混凝土的多尺度力学性能分析。     

International journal of computational fluid dynamics real-time prediction of unsteady flow based on POD reduced-order model and particle filter

An integrated method consisting of a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD)-based reduced-order model (ROM) and a particle filter (PF) is proposed for real-time prediction of an unsteady flow field. The proposed method is validated using identical twin experiments of an unsteady flow field around a circular cylinder for Reynolds numbers of 100 and 1000. In this study, a PF is employed (ROM-PF) to modify the temporal coefficient of the ROM based on observation data because the prediction capability of the ROM alone is limited due to the stability issue. The proposed method reproduces the unsteady flow field several orders faster than a reference numerical simulation based on Navier–Stokes equations. Furthermore, the effects of parameters, related to observation and simulation, on the prediction accuracy are studied. Most of the energy modes of the unsteady flow field are captured, and it is possible to stably predict the long-term evolution with ROM-PF.

An efficient numerical solution for linear stability of circular jet: A combination of Petrov–Galerkin spectral method and exponential coordinate transformation based on Fornberg's treatment

This paper presents the linear stability analysis of a round jet in a radially unbounded domain using a spectral Petrov–Galerkin scheme coped with exponential coordinate transformation based on Fornberg's treatment. A Fourier–Chebyshev Petrov–Galerkin spectral method is described for the computation of the linear stability equations based on half a Gauss–Lobatto mesh. Complex basis functions presented here are exponentially mapped as Chebyshev functions, which satisfy the pole condition exactly at the origin, and can be used to expand vector functions efficiently by using the solenoidal condition. The mathematical formulation is presented in detail focusing on the solenoidal vector field used for the approximation of the flow. The scheme provides spectral accuracy in the present cases and the numerical results are in agreement with former works. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
