Abstract In this paper the use of eigenvalue stability analysis of very large dimension aeroelastic numerical models arising from the exploitation of computational fluid dynamics is reviewed. A formulation based on a block reduction of the system Jacobian proves powerful to allow various numerical algorithms to be exploited, including frequency domain solvers, reconstruction of a term describing the fluid–structure interaction from the sparse data which incurs the main computational cost, and sampling to place the expensive samples where they are most needed. The stability formulation also allows non-deterministic analysis to be carried out very efficiently through the use of an approximate Newton solver. Finally, the system eigenvectors are exploited to produce nonlinear and parameterised reduced order models for computing limit cycle responses. The performance of the methods is illustrated with results from a number of academic and large dimension aircraft test cases.

    Highlights ► Methods are reviewed that use CFD aerodynamics for aeroelastic analysis. ► 2–3 order reduction in the cost of calculating flutter boundaries. ► Non-deterministic analysis is enabled using a nonlinear eigenvalue solver. ► Nonlinear model reduction is achieved using projection onto an eigenvector basis.
