A nonlinear POD reduced order model for limit cycle oscillation prediction

As the amplitude of the unsteady flow oscillation is large or large changes occur in the mean background flow such as limit cycle oscillation, the traditional proper orthogonal decomposition reduced order model based on linearized time or frequency domain small disturbance solvers can not capture the main nonlinear features. A new nonlinear reduced order model based on the dynamically nonlinear flow equation was investigated. The nonlinear second order snapshot equation in the time domain for proper orthogonal decomposition basis construction was obtained from the Taylor series expansion of the flow solver. The NLR 7301 airfoil configuration and Goland+ wing/store aeroelastic model were used to validate the capability and efficiency of the new nonlinear reduced order model. The simulation results indicate that the proposed new reduced order model can capture the limit cycle oscillation of aeroelastic system very well, while the traditional proper orthogonal decomposition reduced order model will lose effectiveness.
