The objective of this research is to propose a new reduced-order modeling method. This approach is based on fluid eigenmodes and body vortices without using static correction. The vortex lattice method (VLM) is used to analyze unsteady flows over two-dimensional airfoil and three-dimensional wing. Eigenanalysis and reduced-order modeling are performed using a conventional method with static correction and an unconventional one without the static correction. Numerical examples are proposed to demonstrate the performance of the present method. The results show that the new method can be considered an alternative way to perform the reduced-order models of unsteady flow.

An approach to developing a general technique for constructing reduced-order models of unsteady flows about three-dimensional complex geometries is presented. The boundary element method along with the potential flow is used to analyze unsteady flows over two-dimensional airfoils, three-dimensional wings, and wing-body configurations. Eigenanalysis of unsteady flows over a NACA 0012 airfoil, a three-dimensional wing with the NACA 0012 section and a wing-body configuration is performed in time domain based on the unsteady boundary element formulation. Reduced-order models are constructed with and without the static correction. The numerical results demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the present method in reduced-order modeling of unsteady flows over complex configurations.

Displacement Theory

Aeroelastic responses of 3-dimensional flexible sails are investigated by means of numerical simulations. An incremental finite displacement theory using the Finite Element Method is adopted to describe the structural behavior of the sail. A modified Vortex Lattice Method is used to calculate the aerodynamic pressures on the sail. Combining these two methods, the structural and aerodynamic responses of the sail are solved simultaneously. Numerical simulations are performed for actual 3- dimensional sails. Deformations and stresses of the sail in steady flow are calculated. Unsteady sail dynamics are also investigated in the case where the sailing vessel is pitching and rolling in a seaway. The effects of the flexibility of the sail upon the lift, induced drag and the center of effort are clarified.

A fully three-dimensional Euler solver, based on a finite volume approach, is developed and applied to the prediction of the unsteady effective wake for propellers subject to non-axisymmetric inflows. The Euler solver is coupled with an existing lifting-surface vortex-lattice method for the computation of unsteady propeller flows. The coupled method is validated against the uniform inflow case, in which ideally the uniform flow should be recovered as the effective wake. The predicted total velocity field correlates very well with that measured in the water tunnel experiment. Lastly, the unsteady effective wake predicted by the present method is compared with the steady effective wake predicted by the authors' previous steady method.

Development And Validation

This study refers to the development and validation of a Three Dimensional (3D) Vortex Lattice Method (VLM) to be used for internal flow case studies and more precisely aero-engine intake simulation. It examines the quantitative and qualitative response of the method to a convergent – divergent intake, produced as a surface of revolution of the CFM56-5B2 upper lip geometry. The study was carried out for three different sections namely: Intake outlet, intake throat and intake inlet. Moreover five different settings of Angle Of Attack (AOA) were considered. The VLM was based on an existing code. It was modified to accommodate internal flow effects and match, as closely as possible, the boundary conditions set by the Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. In the context of this study, Vortex Lattice-derived average values velocity profiles were compared against RANS CFD results.

Vortex Model

An aerodynamic prediction model has been formulated for two- and three-dimensional Darrieus turbines using a vortex lattice method of analysis. Experiments were conducted on a series of two-dimensional rotor configurations in a water tow tank. The agreement between analysis and experiment was in general found to be good. This model should allow one to make accurate predictions of instantaneous aerodynamic blade forces and to characterize the near wake flow behind the rotor.

Ducted Propellers

This paper presents the analysis of the performance for various ducted propellers using a hybrid numerical method, which couples a vortex lattice method (VLM) for the analysis of propellers and a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes solver for the prediction of the viscous fluid flow around the duct. The effects of viscosity on the effective wake and on the performance of the propeller blade, as well as on the predicted duct forces, are assessed. The prediction of the performance for those ducted propellers from the present method is validated against existing experimental data.

A fully three-dimensional Euler solver, based on a finite volume approach, is developed and applied to the prediction of the effective wake for propellers subject to non-axisymmetric inflows. The method is coupled with an existing lifting-surface vortex-lattice method for the analysis of unsteady cavitating propeller flows. The results are validated against analytical solutions from actuator disk theory. The effect of the grid parameters on the results (circumferential average and amplitudes of harmonics of the predicted effective wake) is found to be very weak. The predicted total velocity field correlates very well with that measured in propeller experiments.
