This study describes the reduction of the computer time requirements for an aerothermoelastic computational framework. The reduced order model (ROM) of the fluid solver is developed using kriging and proper orthogonal decomposition. The ROM accelerates the fluid solution by five orders of magnitude. In addition, a smart ordering scheme is proposed to accelerate the sample generation for the ROM. Using the extended computational framework, panel flutter problems are investigated with emphasis on flow orientation angle and boundary layer thickness. These parameters are found to have significant influence on the critical flutter dynamic pressure and amplitude of limit cycle oscillation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
