Abstract
A time-marching aeroelastic method developed for the study of propeller flutter is presented and validated. Propeller flutter can take many forms with stall, whirl and classical flutter being the primary responses. These types of flutter require accurate capture of the non-linear aerodynamics associated with propeller blades. Stall flutter in particular, due to the highly detached nature of the flow, needs detailed unsteady flow modelling. With the development of modern propeller designs potentially adjusting the flutter boundary and the development of faster computing power, CFD is required to ensure accurate capture of aerodynamics. This paper focuses on the validation of the aeroelastic method using the Commander propeller blade.
