Description
Summary:This paper presents an innovative aeroelastic solution method called the implicit dynamic approach (IDA). The IDA is a novel technique implemented to address the complexities of structural displacement and fluid–structure interactions. At the core of this method lie the Navier–Stokes equations, which are pivotal for resolving the unsteady aerodynamic forces for studying aeroelasticity. This paper develops a time-step-coupling data-solving interface that bridges the structural dynamic and fluid dynamic domains, ensuring a seamless integration of these two critical aspects of aeroelastic analysis. To substantiate the credibility of the IDA, the aeroelastic responses of a two-dimensional wing and the benchmark supercritical wing (BSCW) are analyzed. The results obtained from these models demonstrate the IDA’s credibility and stability. The IDA proves to be reliable in predicting aeroelastic responses and offers a powerful tool for analyzing aeroelastic problems.
