Resumen
In the present work, a reduced-order modeling (ROM) framework based on a recurrent neuro-fuzzy model (NFM) that is serial connected with a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network is applied for the computation of transonic aileron buzz. The training data set for the specified ROM is obtained by performing forced-motion unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (URANS) simulations. Further, a Monte Carlo-based training procedure is applied in order to estimate statistical errors. In order to demonstrate the method?s fidelity, a two-dimensional aeroelastic model based on the NACA651213 airfoil is investigated at different flow conditions, while the aileron deflection and the hinge moment are considered in particular. The aileron is integrated in the wing section without a gap and is modeled as rigid. The dynamic equations of the rigid aileron rotation are coupled with the URANS-based flow model. For ROM training purposes, the aileron is excited via a forced motion and the respective aerodynamic and aeroelastic response is computed using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. A comparison with the high-fidelity reference CFD solutions shows that the essential characteristics of the nonlinear buzz phenomenon are captured by the selected ROM method.
