Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation of supersonic flutter of a 3D wing is conducted at free stream Mach number of 1.141 using a fully coupled fluid/structure interaction (FSI). Unsteady 3D compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a system of 5 decoupled structure modal equations in a fully coupled manner. The low diffusion E-CUSP scheme with a 5th order WENO reconstruction for the inviscid flux and a set of 4th order central differencing for the viscous terms are used to accurately capture the shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction of the vibrating wing. The predicted flutter boundary at supersonic Mach number achieves excellent agreement with experiment. It appears to be the first time that a numerical prediction of supersonic flutter boundary matches with experiment accurately.
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.
