Aerothermodynamic shape optimization of hypersonic blunt bodies
Eyi, Sinan (2015-07-03)
The aim of this study is to develop a reliable and efficient design tool that can be used in hypersonic flows. The flow analysis is based on the axisymmetric Euler/Navier-Stokes and finite-rate chemical reaction equations. The equations are coupled simultaneously and solved implicitly using Newton's method. The Jacobian matrix is evaluated analytically. A gradient-based numerical optimization is used. The adjoint method is utilized for sensitivity calculations. The objective of the design is to generate a h...
Aerothermodynamics of turbine blade trailing edge cooling
Tunçel, Tuğba; Kahveci, Harika Senem; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
It is known that the thermal efficiency of gas turbines strongly depends on the turbine entry temperature of the working fluid. This has resulted in increased turbine working temperatures, and peak temperatures in advanced gas turbines have been well above maximum allowable metal temperatures for quite some time. For turbine blades to survive while operating beyond these material temperature limits, internal and external cooling techniques have been developed. Due to structural and aerodynamic restrictions,...
Aerothermodynamic Shape Optimization of Reentry Capsule
Kutkan, Halit; Eyi, Sinan (2018-06-25)
This paper presents a hybrid method based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) with a trained radial basis function (RBF) network, on direct simulation monte carlo (DSMC) solutions for aerothermodynamic front surface optimization of Stardust reentry. Gaussian and multiquadric RBFs are implemented for comparison, and multiquadric functions are chosen due to their insensitivity to diverse shape parameters. Cubic uniform B-spline curves are used innovatively for parameterization of t...
