| Description | Flutter, a self-excited dynamic instability arising because of fluid structure interaction, can be a significant design problem for rotor blades in gas turbines. Blade shapes influenced by noise-reduction requirements increase the likelihood of flutter in modern blade designs. Validated numerical methods provide designers an invaluable tool to calculate and avoid the flutter instability during the design phase. Toward this objective, a flutter analysis code, TURBO, was developed and validated by researchers from the NASA Glenn Research Center and other researchers working under grants and contracts with Glenn. The TURBO code, which is based on unsteady three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations was used to calculate the observed flutter of a forward-swept fan. The forward-swept experimental fan, designed to reduce noise, showed flutter at part-speed conditions during wind tunnel tests. |
