TY - CPAPER AB - We introduce a nondimensional state-space formulation of the unsteady vortex-lattice method for time-domain aerodynamics. It deals with 2- or 3-dimensional geometries, re- solves frequencies up to a spatio-temporal Nyquist limit defined by the wake discretization, and has a convenient form for linearization, model reduction and coupling with structural dynamics models. No assumptions are made relating to the kinematics of the fluid-structure interface (inputs) and use of Joukowski's theorem to compute forces naturally resolves all components of the unsteady aerodynamic forcing (outputs). Linearized expressions are written about arbitrary non-zero reference geometries, velocities and loading distributions and as such yield models that are as general as possible given the assumptions in the un- derlying uid mechanics. The implementation is verified against classical solutions in the unsteady aerodynamics, and in aeroelastic stability analysis of cantilever wing configurations.
