Unsteady flow around an oscillating plate cascade has been computationally studied, aimed at examining the predictive ability of a non-linear frequency solution method for hydro-elasticity analysis compared with a standard analytical solution. The comparison of computational and analytical solutions for flow around an oscillating plate configuration demonstrates the capabilities of the frequency domain method compared with the analytical solution in capturing the unsteady flow. It also shows the great advantage of significant CPU time saving by the frequency methods over the nonlinear time method. This approach is based on casting the unsteady flow equations into a set of steady-like equations at a series of phases of a period of unsteadiness. So, One of the advantages of this method compared with other conventional time-linearized frequency domain methods is that any steady flow solution method can be easily used in a straightforward simple method for modelling unsteady perturbations.

Unsteady flow around an oscillating plate cascade and that through a single compressor rotor subject to vibration have been computationally studied, aimed at examining the predictive ability of two low fidelity frequency methods compared with a high fidelity time-domain solution method for aeroelasticity. The computational solutions demonstrate the capabilities of the frequency domain methods compared with the nonlinear time-domain solution method in capturing small perturbations in the unsteady flow. They also show the great advantage of significant CPU time saving by the frequency methods over the nonlinear time method. Comparisons of two different frequency methods, nonlinear harmonic and phase solution method, show that these methods can produce different results due to the differences in numeric and physical conditioning. The results obtained using phase solutions method are in better agreement with the nonlinear time-domain solution. This is because the same numeric and physical conditioning are used in both the nonlinear time-domain method and phase solution frequency domain method.

An unsteady Navier-Stokes solution system for aeromechanical analysis of multiple blade row configurations is presented. A distinctive feature of the solver is that unified numerical methods and boundary condition treatments are consistently used for both a nonlinear time-domain solution mode and a frequency-domain one. This not only enables a wider range of physical aeromechanical problems to be tackled, but also provides a consistent basis for validating different computational models, identifying and understanding their relative merits and adequate working ranges. An emphasis of the present work is on a highly efficient frequency-domain method for multi-row aeromechanic analysis. With a new interface treatment, propagations and reflections of pressure waves between adjacent blade rows are modeled within a domain consisting of only a single passage in each blade row. The computational model and methods are firstly described. Then, extensive validations of the frequency-domain method against both experimental data and the nonlinear time-domain solutions are described. Finally the computational analysis and demonstration of the intra-row reflection effects on the rotor aerodynamic damping are presented.

An explicit finite difference iteration scheme is developed to study harmonic sound propagation in ducts. To reduce storage requirements for large 3D problems, the time dependent potential form of the acoustic wave equation is used. To insure that the finite difference scheme is both explicit and stable, time is introduced into the Fourier transformed (steady-state) acoustic potential field as a parameter. Under a suitable transformation, the time dependent governing equation in frequency space is simplified to yield a parabolic partial differential equation, which is then marched through time to attain the steady-state solution. The input to the system is the amplitude of an incident harmonic sound source entering a quiescent duct at the input boundary, with standard impedance boundary conditions on the duct walls and duct exit. The introduction of the time parameter eliminates the large matrix storage requirements normally associated with frequency domain solutions, and time marching attains the steady-state quickly enough to make the method favorable when compared to frequency domain methods. For validation, this transient-frequency domain method is applied to sound propagation in a 2D hard wall duct with plug flow.

In the current fatigue life calculation theory, the most commonly used method is the frequency domain method. However, most of the frequency domain fatigue life prediction models do not indicate the scope of the application of the spectral width parameter. Different frequency domain methods have strict applicability to the spectral width parameter, and improper model selection will lead significant error. Therefore, it is particularly important to determine the scope of application of the spectral width parameter for different frequency-domain methods. This paper firstly introduces the current frequency domain methods, then simulates the analogue spectrum and selects three materials for comparison in the different frequency-domain methods. By analyzing and comparing the results of random fatigue life and relative error results, the application of different frequency-domain methods is obtained, and random vibration simulation verification is carried out with the practical engineering example, which can provide a reference for the selection of life prediction models.

In this study, an unsteady flow for drainage through a circular tank of an isothermal and incompressible Newtonian magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid has been investigated. The series solution method is employed, and an analytical solution is obtained. Expressions for the velocity field, average velocity, flow rate, fluid depth at different times in the tank and time required for the wide-ranging drainage of the fluid (time of efflux) have been obtained. The Newtonian solution is attained by assuming σΒ02=0. The effects of various developing parameters on velocity field υz and depth of fluid H(t) are presented graphically. The time needed to drain the entire fluid and its depth are related and such relations are obtained in closed form. The effect of electromagnetic forces is analyzed. The fluid in the tank will drain gradually and it will take supplementary time for complete drainage.

:   This paper takes into account the application of the Periodogram and the Fourier Series Analysis. It is one of the non-parametric methods of Frequency domain analysis or spectral analysis of time series using Gas sales data in the United States of America from 1993-2014. In order to achieve these objectives، the data were obtained and then the Periodogram and the Fourier series methods were used to analyze the data. Based on the analysis، the cycle of variability within the period under study was 135 months، and a high Accuracy data model was estimated for the Fourier series which included trend، seasonal and error components. The RMSE، MASE and MAE standards were used to confirm the efficiency of the model and the model was then used to predict gas sales for six months، and we have 90% 95% confidence intervals for predictions. In addition، a time domain analysis was provided for the data series using Bok Jenkins method to obtain the appropriate ARMA model and to generate Predictions. Finally، a comparison was made between the accuracy measures of the time domain and frequency domain methods The frequency domain method competed with the time domain and the slight difference in efficiency.

Both linear and nonlinear frequency domain methods have been applied successfully to the investigation of time-periodic phenomena in turbomachinery. Linear methods allow to perform flutter analysis of turbomachinery blade rows very efficiently. Nonlinear frequency domain method can be applied to flutter analysis as well. If a pseudo-time solution algorithm is employed as a solver the nonlinear frequency domain method takes advantage of the stabilizing effect of the nonlinear coupling of the harmonics. Additionally, it allows studying the influence of nonlinear effects on the flutter stability. A linear GMRes based method and a harmonic balance method using a pseudo-time solution approach are compared with respect to computational efficiency when applied to the flutter analysis of blades of a stationary gas turbine and a low pressure turbine of a jet engine. It is shown that both methods have their merits and limitation depending on the type of problem at hand.

A fatigue damage assessment for concrete was carried out according to Eurocode 2. Three frequency-domain methods, the level crossing counting (LCC) method, the range counting (RC) method, and a new proposed method, were used for the damage assessment. The applicability of these frequency-domain methods was evaluated by comparison with the rainflow counting method in the time domain. A preliminary numerical study was carried out to verify the applicability of the frequency-domain methods for stress processes with different bandwidths; thus, the applicability of the LCC method and the new method was preliminarily confirmed. The fatigue strength of concrete had a minor effect on the fatigue damage assessment. The applicability of the LCC and the new methods deteriorated for relatively low coefficients of variance of the stress process because the ultimate number of constant amplitude cycles was sensitive to the range of the cycles. The validity of the joint probability functions of the two methods was proven using a numerical simulation. The integration intervals of the two frequency-domain methods were varied to estimate the lower and upper bounds on the fatigue damage, which can serve as references to evaluate the accuracy of the time-domain method results.
