Buffet Alleviation via Linear Stability Adjoint
Transonic buffet, self--sustained shock and shear--layer oscillations, imposes hard limits on the cruise envelope of modern transport aircraft, and avoiding it is a primary design driver.
- arXiv 2026 · arXiv preprint
Transonic Buffet Modeling via Invariant Manifolds
In transonic flow over aircraft wings, shock-boundary-layer interactions can give rise to transonic buffet, which degrades maneuverability through unsteady aerodynamic loads.
- arXiv 2025 · arXiv preprint
Aeroelastic Reduced-Order Model Differential Equations in Transonic Buffeting Flow
Numerical simulation of the transonic shock buffet phenomenon remains a formidable challenge due to its inherent nonlinear and unsteady characteristics.
- arXiv 2025 · arXiv preprint
Compact representation of transonic airfoil buffet flows with observable-augmented machine learning
Transonic buffet presents time-dependent aerodynamic characteristics associated with shock, turbulent boundary layer, and their interactions.
- arXiv 2023 · arXiv preprint
Experimental investigation on the turbulent wake flow in fully-established transonic buffet conditions
The transonic flight regime is often dominated by transonic buffet, a highly unsteady and complex shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction involving major parts of the flow field.
