Numerical Investigation into Flutter and Flutter-Buffet Phenomena for a Swept Wing and a Curved Planform Wing

Flutter Analysis of a Low Aspect Ratio Swept- Back Trapezoidal Wing at Low Subsonic Flow

A linear, aeroelastic analysis of a low aspect ratio swept back trapezoidal wing modeled as a cantilever plate is presented. An analytical and numerical formulation for both the aerodynamic forcing and structural response of the wing was developed. The analytical model uses a three dimensional time domain vortex lattice aerodynamic method. A Rayleigh-Ritz approach has been used to transfer equa...

Derivative Measurements and Flutter Tests on a Model Tapered Wing

Wind Tunnel Investigation of Pressure Distribution and Transition Position of a Swept 3D Wing

Extensive wind tunnel tests are conducted to evaluate surface pressure distribution of a semi span swept wing. The wing section has a laminar flow airfoil similar to NACA 6-series airfoils. The investigations are conducted at various speeds and angles of attack. Surface pressure distribution over the wing upper surface is measured for both chordwise and spanwise sections. Statistical analyses a...

Calculation of Wing Flutter by a Coupled Fluid-Structure Method

An integrated computational  uid dynamics (CFD) and computational structural dynamics (CSD) method is developed for the simulation and prediction of  utter. The CFD solver is based on an unsteady, parallel, multiblock, multigrid Ž nite volume algorithm for the Euler/Navier–Stokes equations. The CSD solver is based on the time integration of modal dynamic equations extracted from full Ž nite e...
