<p>Flutter seriously affects the safety and reliability of aero-engine. In this paper, influence coefficient method(ICM) and traveling wave method(TWM) are used to calculate the aerodynamic damping of transonic fan blades of civil aviation engine at different nodal diameters(NDs) and structural modes. The results of two methods are basically consistent but the ICM only needs to simulate seven passages for all of the NDs, which has higher computation efficiency. The results show that under the design condition, the first three structural modes of the blade are aero-elastic stable for each ND, and the aerodynamic damping gets the minimum at ND1 for the first bending mode. As the back pressure deviates from design condition towards choking or stall, the aerodynamic damping obviously decrease and even negative aerodynamic damping occurs at mass flow of 12.984kg/s. Dynamic mode decomposition(DMD) is applied to analyze the transient pressure on vibrating blade surface. Dominant flow structures like shock wave oscillating and corresponding frequency on blade surface can be acquired through DMD method. The overall effect of reconstruction is satisfying while the location near shock wave needs more DMD modes to reconstruct due to its nonlinearity. TWM simulation with DMD analysis indicates that the shock wave changes the phase of the pressure and displacement in the region next to downstream of the shock wave, which makes the aerodynamic work concentrate locally.</p>

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
