Galerkin reduced order models for compressible flow with structural interaction.
- Stanford University, Stanford, CA
The Galerkin projection procedure for construction of reduced order models of compressible flow is examined as an alternative discretization of the governing differential equations. The numerical stability of Galerkin models is shown to depend on the choice of inner product for the projection. For the linearized Euler equations, a symmetry transform leads to a stable formulation for the inner product. Boundary conditions for compressible flow that preserve stability of the reduced order model are constructed. Coupling with a linearized structural dynamics model is made possible through the solid wall boundary condition. Preservation of stability for the discrete implementation of the Galerkin projection is made possible using piecewise-smooth finite element bases. Stability of the coupled fluid/structure system is examined for the case of uniform flow past a thin plate. Stability of the reduced order model for the fluid is demonstrated on several model problems, where a suitable approximation basis is generated using proper orthogonal decomposition of a transient computational fluid dynamics simulation.
