Item A Conformal Mapping Grid Generation Method for Modeling High-Fidelity Aeroelastic Simulations(2010-07-14) Worley, GregoryThis work presents a method for building a three-dimensional mesh from two- dimensional topologically identical layers, for use in aeroelastic simulations. The method allows modeling of large deformations of the wing in both the span direction and deformations in the cord of the wing. In addition, the method allows for the modeling of wings attached to fuselages. The mesh created is a hybrid mesh, which allows cell clustering in the viscous region. The generated mesh is high quality and allows capturing of nonlinear uid structure interactions in the form of limit cycle oscillation.Item Nonlinear aeroelastic analysis of aircraft wing-with-store configurations(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30) Kim, KiunThe author examines nonlinear aeroelastic responses of air vehicle systems. Herein, the governing equations for a cantilevered configuration are developed and the methods of analysis are explored. Based on the developed nonlinear bending-bending-torsion equations, internal resonance, which is possible in future air vehicles, and the possible cause of limit cycle oscillations of aircraft wings with stores are investigated. The nonlinear equations have three types of nonlinearities caused by wing flexibility, store geometry and aerodynamic stall, and retain up to third-order nonlinear terms. The internal resonance conditions are examined by the Method of Multiple Scales and demonstrated by time simulations. The effect of velocity change for various physical parameters and stiffness ratio is investigated through bifurcation diagrams derived from Poinar?e maps. The dominant factor causing limit cycle oscillations is the stiffness ratio between in-plane and out-of-plane motion.
