Abstract
A reduced-order model (ROM) based on block Arnoldi algorithm to quickly predict flutter boundary of aeroelastic system is investigated. First, a mass–damper–spring dynamic system is tested, which shows that the low dimension system produced by the block Arnoldi method can keep a good dynamic property with the original system in low and high frequencies. Then a two-degree of freedom transonic nonlinear aerofoil aeroelastic system is used to validate the suitability of the block Arnoldi method in flutter prediction analysis. In the aerofoil case, the ROM based on a linearized model is obtained through a high-fidelity nonlinear computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculation. The order of the reduced model is only 8 while it still has nearly the same accuracy as the full 9600-order model. Compared with the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method, the results show that, without snapshots the block Arnoldi/ROM has a unique superiority by maintaining the system stability aspect. The flutter boundary of the aeroelastic system predicted by the block Arnoldi/ROM agrees well with the CFD and reference results. The Arnoldi/ROM provides an efficient and convenient tool to quick analyze the system stability of nonlinear transonic aeroelastic systems.
