Abstract

This paper outlines an initial investigation for determining non-linear aerodynamics for unsteady transonic flows through the use of curve fitting unsteady Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) data. The full aerodynamics including linear and non-linear aerodynamics can be identified as a polynomial function. Through the curve fitting method, the important non-linear terms can be identified and the smaller terms can be neglected.    Having modelled the non-linear aerodynamics and included into the aeroelastic model, the characteristics and stability of non-linear aeroelastic system can then be investigated using normal form theory. The methodology is demonstrated upon a simple two-degrees-of-freedom aeroelastic wing model with structural and aerodynamics nonlinearity. A good agreement is obtained for all cases studied between analytical and simulation results.
