Abstract

 

This paper describes a preliminary investigation into the use of unsteady CFD results for modelling the nonlinear

aerodynamic forces acting on lifting surfaces. Unsteady Euler calculations were carried out at

transonic speeds using a simple two-degrees-of-freedom aeroelastic wing model. The lift and moment

coefficients resulting from prescribed heave and pitch inputs were determined for a range of Mach numbers.

A non-linear model was then identified. A good agreement between the responses of this model and the

results from the CFD model were obtained.
