The paper develops a reduced-order model of nonsynchronous vibration (NSV) using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) methods. The approach was successfully developed and implemented, requiring between two and six POD modes to accurately predict computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions that are experiencing NSV. This POD method was first developed and demonstrated for a transversely moving, two-dimensional cylinder in cross-flow. Later, the method was used for the prediction of CFD solutions for a two-dimensional compressor blade. This research is the first to offer a POD approach to the reduced-order modeling of NSV in turbomachinery. Modeling NSV is especially challenging because NSV is caused by complicated, unsteady flow dynamics; this initial study helps researchers understand the causes of NSV, and aids in the future development of predictive tools for aeromechanical design engineers.

This paper deals with the development of an accurate reduced-order model of a bladed disk with geometric mistuning. The method is based on vibratory modes of various tuned systems and proper orthogonal decomposition of coordinate measurement machine (CMM) data on blade geometries. Results for an academic rotor are presented to establish the validity of the technique.

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.
