Abstract

This paper develops a phase-reduced description of transonic buffet, treating buffet as a stable autonomous fluid limit cycle that is weakly perturbed by harmonic structural motion. When combined with aerodynamic work, the phase reduction model yields closed-form expressions for the equivalent aerodynamic damping and stiffness, together with a unified description of phase locking, phase slipping and aeroelastic stability of the fluid-structural system. The resulting analysis provides new insight into the mechanisms governing aeroelastic instability in oscillatory flows, including aerodynamic damping maps, singular behaviour at zero detuning, and broad regions of subcritical aeroelastic instability.
