  • rapid state space Modeling tool for rectangular wing aeroservoelastic studies
    AIAA SciTech 2015- Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference, 2015
    Co-Authors: Peter M Suh, Howard J Conyers, Dimitri N Mavris
    Abstract:

    This paper introduces a Modeling and simulation tool for aeroservoelastic analysis of rectangular wings with trailing edge control surfaces. The inputs to the code are planform design parameters such as wing span, aspect ratio and number of control surfaces. A doublet lattice approach is taken to compute generalized forces. A rational function approximation is computed. The output, computed in a few seconds, is a state space aeroservoelastic Model which can be used for analysis and control design. The tool is fully parameterized with default information so there is little required interaction with the Model Developer. Although, all parameters can be easily modified if desired.The focus of this paper is on tool presentation, verification and validation. This process is carried out in stages throughout the paper. The rational function approximation is verified against computed generalized forces for a plate Model. A Model composed of finite element plates is compared to a modal analysis from commercial software and an independently conducted experimental ground vibration test analysis. Aeroservoelastic analysis is the ultimate goal of this tool. Therefore the flutter speed and frequency for a clamped plate are computed using V-g and V-f analysis. The computational results are compared to a previously published computational analysis and wind tunnel results for the same structure. Finally a case study of a generic wing Model with a single control surface is presented. Verification of the state space Model is presented in comparison to V-g and V-f analysis. This also includes the analysis of the Model in response to a 1-cos gust.

  • Modular conceptual Modelling approach and software for river hydraulic simulations
    Environmental Modelling and Software, 2015
    Co-Authors: Vincent Wolfs, Pieter Meert, Patrick Willems
    Abstract:

    Numerous applications in river management require computationally efficient Models that can accurately simulate the state of a river. This paper presents a reduced complexity Modelling approach that emulates the results of detailed full hydrodynamic Models. Its modular design based on virtual reservoirs allows users to combine different Model structures depending on the river dynamics and intended use. A semi-automatic software tool (Conceptual Model Developer, CMD) was developed to facilitate Model set-up. To prevent instabilities during simulations, a highly efficient discrete calculation scheme is presented with a variable time step. To illustrate the effectiveness of the presented approach, the Marke River in Belgium was conceptualized based on simulation results of a detailed Model. Results show that the derived conceptual Model mimics the detailed Model closely, while the calculation time is reduced by more than 2000 times. Finally, several applications are discussed that employ conceptual Models built according to the presented approach. A reduced complexity Modelling approach for river hydraulic simulations is proposed.Flexible modular framework that incorporates a variety of structures and techniques.A software tool (CMD) was created to speed-up and facilitate Model set-up.A discrete calculation scheme was developed with time and space varying time step.A case study and discussion of applications illustrate the approach's effectiveness.
