Abstract In this paper, a rapid deforming technique is developed to generate dynamic, three-dimensional, multi-block, mesh. The second-order Runge-Kutta time-marching method is used to solve the structural equations of motion. A dual-time method and finite volume discretization are applied for the unsteady Euler/Navier-Stokes equations to calculate the aerodynamic forces, in which the physical time step is synchronous with the structural equations of motion. The Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model is adopted for a turbulent flow. Due to mass dissimilarity, exiting in flutter calculations for a compressible flow, methods of variable mass and variable stiffness are developed to calculate More >
