Aeroelastic flutter instability
Hi Team,
Upon going through the publications available on QBlade, i am quite excited to perform my thesis study using QBlade. I am trying to simulate aeroealstic flutter instability of offshore turbine blades. But i am unable to figure out the procedure. Can anyone provide guidance or sample models or instructions on how to perform the simulation?
Thanks,
Nilesh
Hello Nilesh,
to simulate flutter you need to choose (and potentially recreate) a blade design in QBlade, for which you know an operatiung condition in which flutter is present exists.
Once identified, simulate this specific operating condition. Keep in mind that accurately resolving a flutter instability often requires selecting sufficiently small time steps for the simulation.
You should be able to observe the flutter instability in the time-domain graphs by analyzing the distributed blade sensor data.

David
