In this study, active control system using sliding mode control method is presented to achieve the gust response alleviation of a three-dimensional flexible wing model. For this purpose, aeroservoelastic model which is composed of aeroelastic plant, control surface actuator model, and gust model depicting the atmospheric turbulence is formulated in the state space. The aerodynamic force generated by the motion of a trailing edge control surface of a flexible wing is made use of as control means. An active control system combining state feedback sliding mode controller and state estimator based on measured responses such as wing tip acceleration and wing root strain is designed for gust response alleviation of a flexible wing aeroservoelastic model. The performance of the controller designed is demonstrated via numerical simulation for the representative flexible wing model under gust loading conditions.

Tile gust generator was designed for generating the gust field in the wind tunnel test of the scaled flexible wing model for validating gust response alleviation system. The ground operation test was performed for estimating the dynamic performance of tile gust generator before installing it in the wind tunnel for gust field measurement. The ground test results showed that the gust generator has sufficient dynamic capability to simulate the sinusoidal and random motion of the gust generator wing and thus can be used in the wind tunnel test related to gust.

Aeroelastic gust response analysis plays an important role in design of aircrafts. For gust response analysis, frequency domain aerodynamics method has been typically used with generalized aerodynamic influence coefficient matrices at various reduced frequencies. However, it cannot be applied to the aeroservoelastic analysis, such as gust alleviation control. Time-domain state space (SS) models must be built. It attacks little attention that gust response analysis relies on continuous gust time-domain input signal in terms of its PSD function. The aim the current study is to provide a reduced-order modeling (ROM) method based on CFD to model gust responses for continuous gust responses for continuou gust inputs in time domain. The paper analyzed the gust response of AGARD445.6 wing subjected to the Dryden gust with ROMs and compared the difference between the rigid structure and elastic one. The results demonstrate that structure elastic effect effect should be considered in the design of aircraft.

This paper summarises the design of a gust generator and the comparison between high fidelity numerical results and experimental results. The gust generator has been designed for a low subsonic wind tunnel in order to perform gust response experiments on wings and assess load alleviation. Special attention has been given to the different design parameters that influence the shape of the gust velocity profile by means of CFD simulations. Design parameters include frequency of actuation, flow speed, maximum deflection, chord length and gust vane spacing. The numerical results are compared to experimental results obtained using a hot-wire anemometer and flow visualisation by means of a tuft and smoke. The first assessment of the performance of the gust generator showed proper operation of the gust generator across the entire range of interest.
