A BRIEF REVIEW OF PANEL AEROELASTICITY WITH SHOCK INTERACTION
For high-speed vehicles, shock waves are inevitably encountered when traveling at supersonic speeds, which creates challenges in their design and operation. The consequent severe pressure and thermal loads aggravate the aeroelastic response, threatening structural safety of the vehicle. In turn, the aeroelastic response of flexible structures may significantly influence the dynamics of the shock waves, including shock-boundary layer interaction and shock motion. For the analysis of structural and fluid dynamics, various research methods including theoretical, computational, and experimental have been applied. The present review summarizes recent investigations on panel aeroelasticity with shock interaction, including shock impingement and rampinduced shock, from the perspective of both fluid-structure interactions (FSIs) and shock-boundary layer interactions (SBLIs). Special focus is on the interaction between the shock waves and structural response, which may motivate the development of control strategies for both aeroelastic response and shock waves, thereby improving structural safety and aerodynamic performance of future high speed flight vehicles.
