This paper investigates the aeroelastic behaviour of a full wind turbine model with realistic blade vibration amplitude (9% span) using a nonlinear frequency-domain solution method. The primary objective is to demonstrate the computational efficiency of this method for an aeroelastic analysis compared to resource-intensive time-domain approaches. The frequency-domain method was then validated against a conventional time-domain method, comparing aerodynamic damping and unsteady pressure distributions, with strong agreement observed. Results show a more complex unsteady pressure distribution at 324.5 RPM compared to 424.5 RPM, directly affecting aerodynamic damping. Aeroelastic analyses of a wind turbine with a relatively large amplitude blade structural oscillation at different rotational speeds are performed using the nonlinear frequency-domain method in this paper.

This higher level of structural and aerodynamic modeling is Aeroelastic Analysis by Coupled Non-linear Time Domain Simulation 24 - 2 RTO-MP-AVT-154 especially required if in transonic and viscous or even separated flow complex shock motions, limit cycle oscillations (LCO) or large deflections occur. Figure 13: CFD and FE models of the A340-300 configuration The advantages of the modal approach are: • For the structure n eigenmodes and eigenvalues have to be computed only once (MSC Nastran Aeroelastic Analysis by Coupled Non-linear Time Domain Simulation RTO-MP-AVT-154 24 - 13 SOL 103) • Only these eigenmodes have to be interpolated to the CFD surface. TRANSONIC DIP AND LIMIT CYCLE OSCILLATIONS OF THE NLR7301 AIRFOIL Wind tunnel data from DLR tests [14][15] for the supercritical NLR7301 airfoil are applied for assessment of unsteady aerodynamics in separated flow (buffet) and of fluid-structure coupling tools, for nonlinear Aeroelastic Analysis by Coupled Non-linear Time Domain Simulation RTO-MP-AVT-154 24 - 15 transonic flutter (LCO).
