Abstract
As aircraft become more flexible, aeroelastic considerations become increasingly important and complex, particularly for transonic flight where nonlinearities in the flow render linear analysis tools less effective. In order to analyze these aeroelastic interactions between the fluid and the structure efficiently, reduced order models (ROMs) are sometimes generated from and used in place of computational fluid dynamics solutions. In this paper, several aerodynamic ROMs are generated and coupled with structural models to form aeroelastic ROMs. The aerodynamic ROMs generated here include the effects of control surface motion. Hence, the aeroelastic ROMs presented here are appropriate for use in aeroservoelastic applications and are intended to be used for aeroservoelastic control law development. These ROMs are used to simulate a number of test cases with and without control surface involvement. Results show that several of the ROMs generated in the paper are able to predict results similar to solutions of higher-order computational methods.
