Abstract
In the present work, the application of the harmonic balance method for transonic buffet around a supercritical airfoil is presented. The use of this technique aims to be an alternative to unsteady computational fluid dynamics simulations that are expensive for complex flow cases. The technique was applied in conjunction with a partially-averaged Navier-Stokes approach, which proved to be beneficial in buffet prediction compared to unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The ability of the harmonic balance method to reproduce the results of the time marching simulation was also investigated. Particular attention was paid to the efficiency of the method and the ability to reduce CPU cost with respect to time marching simulations without under-resolving the flow physics. Grid size and number of harmonics used in the computations were the main parameters of investigation.
