Abstract: The mathematical model for aeroelastic oscillations of a narrow channel wall with a nonlinear-elastic suspension and interacting with a pulsating viscous gas layer is proposed. Within the framework of this model, the aeroelastic response of the channel wall and its phase response were determined and investigated. The authors simultaneously studied the influence of the nonlinear stiffness elastic suspension of the wall, compressibility and dissipative properties of gas, as well as the inertia of its motion on the wall oscillations. The model was elaborated based on the formulation and solution of the initial boundary-value plane problem of mathematical physics. The problem governing equations include the equations of dynamics for barotropic viscous gas, equation of dynamics for the rigid wall as the spring-mass nonlinear oscillator. Using the perturbation method, the asymptotic analysis of the problem was carried out. The solution of the equations of dynamics for the thin layer of viscous gas was obtained by the iteration method. As a result, the law of gas pressure distribution in the channel was determined and the initial problem of aeroelasticity was reduced to the study of the generalized Duffing equation. Its solution was realized by the harmonic balance method, which allowed us to determine the aeroelastic and phase responses of the channel wall in the form of implicit functions. The numerical study of these responses was carried out to evaluate the influence for inertia of gas motion and its compressibility, as well as a comparison of the results obtained with the special cases of creeping motion of viscous gas and incompressible viscous fluid. The results of this study have shown the importance of simultaneous consideration of compressibility and inertia of viscous gas motion when modeling aeroelastic oscillations of the considered channel wall.
