A fully coupled partitioned fluid–structure interaction technology is developed for transonic aeroelastic structures undergoing nonlinear displacements. The Euler equations, written in an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian coordinate frame, describe the fluid domain, whereas the structure is represented by a quadratic modal reduced-order model. A Runge–Kutta dual time-stepping method is employed for the fluid solver, where three upwind schemes are considered, viz., Advection Upwind Splitting Method plus-up, Harten-Lax-van Leer with Contact, and Roe schemes. The Harten-Lax-van Leer with Contact implementation is found to offer a superior balance between efficiency and robustness. The developed fluid–structure interaction technology is applied to modeling transonic flutter, and the quadratic reduced-order model is demonstrated to offer dramatic improvements in accuracy over the more conventional linear method.
