ABSTRACTThe aeroelastic phenomenon of limit-cycle oscillations (LCOs) is analysed using a projection-based reduced-order model (PROM) and Navier–Stokes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the time domain. The proposed approach employs incompressible Navier–Stokes CFD to construct the full-order model flow field. A proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of the snapshot matrix is conducted to extract the POD modes and corresponding temporal coefficients. The POD modes are directly projected to the incompressible Navier–Stokes equation to reconstruct the flow field efficiently. The methodology is applied to a plunging cylinder and an aerofoil undergoing LCOs. This scheme decreases the computational time while preserving the capability to predict the flow field accurately. The ROM is capable of reducing the computational time by at least 70% while maintaining the discrepancy within 0.1%. The causes of LCOs are also investigated. The scheme can be used to analyse non-linear aeroelastic phenomena in the time domain with reduced computational time.

In order to control the IPMC (Ionic Polymer Metal Composite) actuators, it is necessary to use a vision sensing system and a reduced order model from the vision sensing data. In this study, the MROVS (Modal Reduced Order Vision Sensing) model using the least square method has been developed for implementation of the biomimetic motion generation. The simulated transverse displacement is approximated with a sum of the lower mode shapes of the cantilever beam. The NIPXI 1409 image acquisition board and CCD camera (XC-HR50) are used in the experimental setup. Present results show that the MROVS model can efficiently process the vision sensing of the biomimetic IPMC actuator with cost-effective computational time.

This paper presents a Combined Modal Finite Element (CMFE) approach to develop a Nonlinear Reduced Order Model (NROM) in order to characterize the nonlinear properties of the wing plate model. The wing plate model is subjected to three types of loading cases. The first case considers a uniformly distributed loading on the whole wing plate model for describing the bending deflection; the second case considers a uniformly distributed loading on both leading and trailing edges with one of them of an opposite direction for describing the twisting deflection; the third case considers the loading on the leading edge for describing a combination of bending-twisting deflection. The accuracy of the results is represented in the form of mean error, the standard deviation of the error and the percentage of error. From the findings, the NROMs are able to predict the nonlinear deformations of the wing plate with a minimal computational time and reasonably good accuracy. The results also indicate the importance of the selection modes when conducting the analysis.

The paper discusses the parallelization of a novel explicit harmonic balance Navier-Stokes solver for wind turbine unsteady aerodynamics. For large three-dimensional problems, the use of a standard MPI parallelization based on the geometric domain decomposition of the physical domain may require an excessive degree of partitioning with respect to that needed when the same aerodynamic analysis is performed with the time-domain solver. This occurrence may penalize the parallel efficiency of the harmonic balance solver due to excessive communication among MPI processes to transfer halo data. In the case of the harmonic balance analysis, the necessity of further grid partitioning may arise because the memory requirement of each block is higher than for the time-domain analysis: it is that of the time-domain analysis multiplied by a variable proportional to the number of complex harmonics used to represent the sought periodic flow field. A hybrid multi-level parallelization paradigm for explicit harmonic balance Navier-Stokes solvers is presented, which makes use of both distributed and shared memory parallelization technologies, and removes the need for further domain decomposition with respect to the case of the time-domain analysis. The discussed parallelization approaches are tested on the multigrid harmonic balance solver being developed by the authors, considering various computational configurations for the CFD analysis of the unsteady flow field past the airfoil of a wind tubine blade in yawed wind.

Abstract This paper presents a novel, more efficient reduced-order model based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for the prediction of flows in turbomachinery. To further reduce the computational time, the governing equations were written as a function of specific volume instead of density. This allowed for the pre-computation of the coefficients of the system of ordinary differential equations that describe the reduced-order model. A penalty method was developed to implement time-dependent boundary conditions and achieve a stable solution for the reduced-order model. Rotor 67 was used as a validation case for the reduced-order model, which was tested for both on- and off-reference conditions. This reduced-order model was shown to be more than 10,000 times faster than the full-order model.
