Abstract:A fluid-structure coupling algorithm was used to analyze curved panel aeroelastic behavior in transonic and supersonic airflow. First, with the Von Karman’s large deformation theory, the governing equation of curved panel was presented, and it was discretized by the standard finite element method. Then, the governing equations of fluid, numerical method, moving mesh and fluid-structure coupling way were introduced briefly. Finally, numerical simulations and analysis were carried out to study aeroelastic behavior of curved panels. Results demonstrate that the curvature causes nonzero initial aerodynamic load on the panel, this brings about great different aeroelastic features for curved panels compared with flat panels. Static aeroelastic deformation exists for the curved panel in stable state. At Mach 2, asymmetric flutter is born for the curved panel lost stability. As the curvature height increases, chaotic flutter can be induced. At Mach 0.8 and 0.9, the curved panel shows only positive aeroelastic deformation. At Mach 1.2, with its stability lost, the curved panel flutters more violently in the negative direction. The results obtained could guide the panel design and flutter suppression for high performance flight vehicles. Also the presented algorithm could be extended to numerically analyze other aeroelastic problems.
