Website doi abstract bibtex 1 download Various approximations to unsteady aerodynamics are examined for the aeroelastic analysis of a thin double-wedge airfoil in hypersonic flow. Flutter boundaries are obtained using classical hypersonic unsteady aerodynamic theories: piston theory, Van Dyke's second-order theory, Newtonian impact theory, and unsteady shock-expansion theory. The theories are evaluated by comparing the flutter boundaries with those predicted using computational fluid dynamics solutions to the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. In addition, several alternative approaches to the classical approximations are also evaluated: two different viscous approximations based on effective shapes and combined approximate computational approaches that use steady-state computational-fluid-dynamics-based surrogate models in conjunction with piston theory. The results indicate that, with the exception of first-order piston theory and Newtonian impact theory, the approximate theories yield predictions between 3 and 17% of normalized root-mean-square error and between 7 and 40% of normalized maximum error of the unsteady Navier-Stokes predictions. Furthermore, the demonstrated accuracy of the combined steady-state computational fluid dynamics and piston theory approaches suggest that important nonlinearities in hypersonic flow are primarily due to steady-state effects. This implies that steady-state flow analysis may be an alternative to time-accurate Navier-Stokes solutions for capturing complex flow effects.
