Flutter Analysis of a Goland Wing using the SHARPy Linear Solver

This is an example using SHARPy to find the flutter speed of a Goland wing by:

  • Calculating aerodynamic forces and deflections using a nonlinear solver

  • Linearising about this reference condition

  • Creating a reduced order model of the linearised aerodynamics

  • Evaluate the stability of the linearised aeroelastic system at different velocities

Problem Set-up

Velocity

The UVLM is assembled in normalised time at a velocity of \(1 m/s\). The only matrices that need updating then with free stream velocity are the structural matrices, which is significantly cheaper to do than to update the UVLM.

[2]:
u_inf = 1.
alpha_deg = 0.
rho = 1.02
num_modes = 4

Discretisation

Note: To achieve convergence of the flutter results with the ones found in the literature, a significant discretisation may be required. If you are running this notebook for the first time, set M = 4 initially to verify that your system can perform!

[3]:
M = 16
N = 32
M_star_fact = 10

ROM

A moment-matching (Krylov subspace) model order reduction technique is employed. This ROM method offers the ability to interpolate the transfer functions at a desired point in the complex plane. See the ROM documentation pages for more info.

Note: this ROM method matches the transfer function but does not guarantee stability. Therefore the resulting system may be unstable. These unstable modes may appear far in the right hand plane but will not affect the flutter speed calculations.

[4]:
c_ref = 1.8288 # Goland wing reference chord. Used for frequency normalisation
rom_settings = dict()
rom_settings['algorithm'] = 'mimo_rational_arnoldi'  # reduction algorithm
rom_settings['r'] = 6  # Krylov subspace order
frequency_continuous_k = np.array([0.])  # Interpolation point in the complex plane with reduced frequency units
frequency_continuous_w = 2 * u_inf * frequency_continuous_k / c_ref
rom_settings['frequency'] = frequency_continuous_w

Case Admin

[5]:
case_name = 'goland_cs'
case_nlin_info = 'M%dN%dMs%d_nmodes%d' % (M, N, M_star_fact, num_modes)
case_rom_info = 'rom_MIMORA_r%d_sig%04d_%04dj' % (rom_settings['r'], frequency_continuous_k[-1].real * 100,
                                                  frequency_continuous_k[-1].imag * 100)

case_name += case_nlin_info + case_rom_info

route_test_dir = os.path.abspath('')

print('The case to run will be: %s' % case_name)
print('Case files will be saved in ./cases/%s' %case_name)
print('Output files will be saved in ./output/%s/' %case_name)

Analysis

Nonlinear equilibrium

The nonlinear equilibrium condition can be visualised and analysed by opening, with Paraview, the files in the /output/<case_name>/aero and /output/<case_name>/beam folders to see the deflection and aerodynamic forces acting

Stability

The stability of the Goland wing is now analysed under changing free stream velocity. The aeroelastic system is projected onto 2 structural modes (1st bending and 1st torsion). The two modes are seen quite separated at 100 m/s. As speed is increased, the damping of the torsion mode decreases until it crosses the imaginary axis onto the right hand plane and flutter begins. This flutter mode is a bending-torsion mode, as seen from the natural frequency plot where the frequencies of each coalesce into this mode.
