A time-parallel algorithm is developed for large-scale three-dimensional rotor dynamic analysis. A modified harmonic balance method with a scalable skyline solver forms the kernel of this algorithm. The algorithm is equipped with a solution procedure suitable for large-scale structures that have lightly damped modes near resonance. The algorithm is integrated in X3D, implemented on a hybrid shared and distributed memory architecture, and demonstrated on a three-dimensional structural model of a UH-60A-like fully articulated rotor. Flight-test data from UH-60A Airloads Program transition flight C8513 are used for validation. The key conclusion is that the new solver converges to the time marching solution more than 50 times faster and achieves a performance greater than 1 teraFLOPS. The significance of this conclusion is that the principal barrier of computational time for trim solution using high-fidelity three-dimensional structures can be overcome with the scalable harmonic balance method demonstrated in this paper.

Fractional Orders

Duffing-van der Pol oscillator with fractional derivative was constructed in this paper. The solution procedure was proposed with the residue harmonic balance method. The effect of different fractional orders on resonance responses of the system in steady state were analyzed for an example without parameters. The approximate solutions were contrasted with numerical solutions. The results show that the residue harmonic balance method to Duffing-van der Pol differential equation with fractional derivative is very valid.

Linear Effects

Aeronautical structures are commonly assembled with bolted joints in which friction phenomena provide damping on the dynamic behaviour. Some models, mostly non linear, have consequently been developed and the harmonic balance method (HBM) is adapted to compute non linear response functions in the frequency domain. The basic idea is to develop the response as a Fourier series and to solve equations linking Fourier coefficients. One specific HBM feature is that response accuracy improves as the number of harmonics increases, at the expense of larger computational time. Thus the aim of this study is to develop an adaptive HBM which appreciates numerically the contribution of each harmonic on the dynamic response. For a given precision, the number of retained harmonics is adapted by an algorithm which integrates a numerical criterion based on an approximate strain energy. The application case is an asymmetrical two cantilever beam system linked by a bolted joint represented by a nonlinear LuGre model. Condensation and continuation methods are used to accelerate calculation. Adaptive HBM shows that, for a given value of the criterion, the number of harmonics may increase on resonances indicating that non linear effects are predominant.

Time Periodic

Time periodic unsteady flows are often encountered in turbomachinery. Simulating such flows using conventional time marching approach is very time-consuming and hence expensive. To handle this problem, several Fourier-based reduced order models have been developed recently. Among these, the time-domain harmonic balance method solves the governing equations purely in the time domain and there is also no need for the turbulence model to be linearized, making it easy to be implemented in an existing RANS code. Thus, the time-domain harmonic balance method was chosen and incorporated into an in-house Navier-Stokes flow solver. Several test cases were performed for the validations of the developed code. They cover standard unsteady test cases such as the low speed vortex shedding cylinder flow and the Sajben transonic diffuser under periodically oscillating back pressure. Further, two different practical turbomachinery unsteady flows were considered. One is a transonic fan under circumferential inlet distortion and the other is the rotor-stator interactions in a single stage compressor. The results illustrate the capability of the harmonic balance method in capturing the dominant nonlinear effects. The number of harmonics should be retained in the harmonic balance method is depend on the strength of the nonlinear unsteady effects and differs from case to case. With appropriate number of harmonics retained, it can resolve the unsteady flow field satisfactory, meanwhile, reducing the computational time significantly. In a word, the harmonic balance method promise to be an effective way to simulate time periodic unsteady flows.

This paper presents a solution procedure to investigate the periodic response of a Duffing oscillator under combined harmonic and random excitations. The solution procedure consists of an implicit harmonic balance method and a Gaussian closure method. The implicit harmonic balance method, previously developed for the case of harmonic excitation, is extended to the present case of combined harmonic and random excitations with the help of the Gaussian closure method. The amplitudes of the periodic response and the steady variances can be automatically found by the proposed solution procedure. First, the response process is separated into the mean part and the random process part. Then the Gaussian closure method is adopted to reformulate the original equation into two coupled differential equations. One is a deterministic equation about the mean part and the other is a stochastic equivalent linear equation. In terms of these two coupled equations, the implicit harmonic balance method is used to obtain a set of nonlinear algebraic equations relating to amplitudes, frequency, and variance. The resulting equations are not explicitly determined and they can be implicitly solved by nonlinear equation routines available in most mathematical libraries. Three illustrative examples are further investigated to show the effectiveness of the proposed solution procedure. Furthermore, the proposed solution procedure is particularly convenient for programming and it can be extended to obtain the periodic solutions of the response of multi degrees-of-freedom systems.

A uniform formulation of linear harmonic method, nonlinear harmonic method and harmonic balance method, referred to as the uniform harmonic method, is first proposed for the quasi-one-dimensional Euler equations; and a modified adaptive technique is employed, by which the harmonic contents at each cell can be automatically augmented or diminished to efficiently capture the local flow details. Then the unsteady flows in a convergent-divergent nozzle are computed and analyzed for a test case with an oscillating shock wave in it. The harmonic contents, computational time and error in pressure are presented and compared for different harmonic interaction options, segment widths and thresholds, from which the adaption setups with excellent computational performance and high-level accuracy are determined. Finally, the adaptive harmonic method is extended to the multiple-perturbation case, which is verified by an example with pressure perturbations of two different fundamental frequencies. Compared to the non-adaptive harmonic balance method, the adaptive harmonic method produces accurate enough solutions with a 75.4% reduction in computational time and a 71.8% save in memory consumption for the single-perturbation case, while the drop rates are 42.0% and 62.8% respectively for the multiple-perturbation case.
