© 2022 Elsevier Masson SASIn this paper, the effect of ground on aerodynamics and longitudinal static stability of a non-slender delta wing with sweep angle of 45 degree and thickness-to-chord ratio (t/c) of 5.9% was characterized at Reynolds number of 9×104 in a low-speed wind tunnel using force and pressure measurements. The measurements were conducted for angles of attack varying between 0≤α≤30 degrees and non-dimensional heights between 3%≤h/c≤107% and height stability of the wing based on aerodynamic center in pitch (Xa) and aerodynamic center in height (Xh) was constructed. The results indicate that the effect of ground has substantial impact on both aerodynamic performance and stability of the delta wing. As the height of the wing decreases, both drag and lift forces increases where these effects were observed to be more pronounced for higher angles of attack. The maximum aerodynamic performance with increasing ground effect intensity was measured around 7 degree. Center of pressure (Xp) as well as Xa travel in a limited range over the wing chord, whereas Xh exhibits back and forth movement on the longitudinal axis resulting in interchanging stability characteristics varying with both height and angle of attack. The pressure measurements showed that the effect of ground has significant and complex impact on both vortex reattachment and vortex strength with varying angles of attack and heights such that it might promote reattachment and increases vortex strength but might cause earlier stall.

Aerodynamics of non-slender delta and reverse delta wings: Wing thickness, anhedral angle and cropping ratio
KOÇAK, Göktuğ; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2022-01-01)
© 2022 Chinese Society of Aeronautics and AstronauticsThe effects of thickness-to-chord (t/c) ratio, anhedral angle (δ), and cropping ratio from trailing-edge (Cr%) on the aerodynamics of non-slender reverse delta wings in comparison to non-slender delta wings with sweep angle of 45 degree were characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using force and pressure measurements. The measurements were conducted for total of 8 different delta and reverse delta wings. Two different t/c ratios of 5.9% and 1.1%, and t...
Effect of thickness-to-chord ratio on aerodynamics of non-slender delta wing
Ghazijahani, Mohammad Sharifi; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2019-05-01)
The effect of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on aerodynamics of a non-slender delta wing with sweep angle of 45 degree is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using laser illuminated smoke visualization, surface pressure measurements, particle image velocimetry, and force measurements. The delta wings of t/C ratios varying from 2% to 15% with 45 degree windward beveled leading edges are tested. The results indicate that the effect of t/C ratio on flow structure is quite substantial. Considering the low ...

The effects of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on flow structures of nonslender delta wings with sweep angles of 35 and 45 degrees are characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using velocity, pressure, and force measurements. The delta wings with t/C ratios varying from 2 % to 19 % are tested at broad ranges of attack angles and Reynolds numbers. The results indicate that the effect of t/C ratio on flow structure is quite substantial. Considering the low angles of attack where the wings experience leading ed...

Gulsacan, Burak; Sencan, Gizem; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2018-12-01)
The effect of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on flow structure of a delta wing with sweep angle of 35 deg is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using laser-illuminated smoke visualization, particle image velocimetry, and surface pressure measurements. Four different t/C ratios varying from 4.75 to 19% are tested at angles of attack, 4, 6, 8, and 10 deg, for Reynolds numbers Re =1 x 10(4) and 3.5 x 10(4). The results indicate that the effect of thicknessto-chord ratio on flow structure is quite substan...
Effect of ground on flow structure of non-slender delta and reverse delta wings
Koçak, Göktuğ; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2023-1-26)
Flight condition of aircrafts proximity to the ground, so-called “Ground Effect” (GE), is among one of the most recent research areas since the aerodynamic performance and stability of wing in ground effect (WIG) crafts significantly vary due to the flow dynamics associated with the interaction between the wing and the surface. In the present study, ground effect of non-slender delta wings (DW) and reversed delta wings (RDW) at static ground effect (SGE) condition in the absence of heave and pitch motion w...
