This paper presents a methodology for dynamic aeroelastic analysis of aircraft based on model order reduction with error estimation. A projection-based model order reduction approach is used to create an aerodynamic reduced-order model (ROM), which is coupled to a structural model to create an aeroelastic ROM. The governing aerodynamic equations are the linearized semidiscrete Euler equations. Flutter analysis is conducted by analyzing the eigenvalues of the aeroelastic ROM. A dual-weighted residual-based error estimator is presented which approximates the error in the eigenvalues obtained from the reduced eigenproblem relative to the eigenvalues from the high-dimensional aeroelastic model. The error estimator thus allows for the construction of aeroelastic ROMs with select eigenvalues that satisfy a user-prescribed accuracy. The aerodynamic ROM is constructed using approximate high-dimensional aeroelastic eigenvectors computed using the two-sided Jacobi–Davidson algorithm. Dynamic aeroelastic analyses are presented for the NACA 64A010 Isogai case, the AGARD 445.6 wing model, and a NACA 0012 benchmark case. The error estimator is shown to have good agreement with the exact error. For the test cases presented in this work, the cost of computing the flutter point at a given Mach number is equivalent to the cost of approximately 5 to 12 steady nonlinear flow evaluations of the high-dimensional Euler equations.
