Abstract

En 中文
We develop a model and numerical method to study the large-amplitude flutter of rectangular membranes (of zero bending rigidity) that shed a trailing vortex-sheet wake in a three-dimensional (3-D) inviscid fluid flow. We apply small initial perturbations and track their decay or growth to large-amplitude steady-state motions. For 12 combinations of boundary conditions at the membrane edges we compute the stability thresholds and the subsequent large-amplitude dynamics across the three-parameter space of membrane mass density, pretension and stretching rigidity. With free side edges we find good agreement with previous 2-D results that used different discretization methods. We find that the 3-D dynamics in the 12 cases naturally forms four groups based on the conditions at the leading and trailing edges. The deflection amplitudes and oscillation frequencies have scalings similar to those in the 2-D case. The conditions at the side edges, although generally less important, may have small or large qualitative effects on the membrane dynamics - e.g. steady vs unsteady, periodic vs chaotic or the variety of spanwise curvature distributions - depending on the group and the physical parameter values.
