A novel technique for computing unsteady flows about turbomachinery cascades is presented. Starting with a frequency domain CFD description of unsteady aerodynamic flows, we form a large, sparse, generalized, non-Hermitian eigenvalue problem which describes the natural modes and frequencies of fluid motion about the cascade. We compute the dominant left and right eigenmodes and corresponding eigenfrequencies using a Lanczos algorithm. Then, using just a few of the resulting eigenmodes, we construct a reduced order model of the unsteady flow field. With this model, one can rapidly and accurately predict the unsteady aerodynamic loads acting on the cascade over a wide range of reduced frequencies and arbitrary modes of vibration. Moreover, the eigenmode information provides insights into the physics of unsteady flows. Finally we note that the form of the reduced order model is well suited for use in active control of aeroelastic and aeroacoustic phenomena.

A method is proposed for the determination of the aeroelastic behavior of a system responding to mode-shapes different to the tuned in-vacuo ones, due to mistuning, mode family interaction or any other source of mode-shape perturbation. The method is based on the generation of a data base of unsteady aerodynamic forces arising from the motion of arbitrary modes and uses Least Square approximations for the prediction of any responding mode. The use of a reduced order technique allows for mistuning analyses and is also applied for the selection of a limited number of arbitrary modes. The application on a transonic compressor blade shows that the method captures well the aeroelastic properties in a wide frequency range. A discussion of the influence of the mode-shapes and frequency on the final stability response is also provided.
