Abstract

A conceptually novel and computationally efficient technique for computing unsteady flow about isolated airfoils, wings, and turbomachinery cascades is presented. Starting with either a time-domain or frequency-domain computational fluid dynamics analysis of unsteady aerodynamic or aeroacoustic flows, a large, sparse eigenvalue problem is solved using the Lanczos algorithm. Then, using just a few of the resulting eigenmodes, a reduced-order model of the unsteady flow is constructed. With this model, one can rapidly and accurately predict the unsteady aerodynamic response of the system over a wide range of reduced frequencies. Moreover, the eigenmode information provides important insights into the physics of unsteady flows.
