Aerodynamic investigation of a model scale helicopter rotor in ground effect
Şahbaz, Mehmet; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
In this thesis, ground effect issue which is a vital topic for helicopter industry is investigated with model scale.For this purpose, a test setup with model helicopter rotor is established. With setup, ground effect is investigated with inclined ground and ground without inclination. Thrust and torque values are obtained for different rotation speeds with constant collective pitch. Comparison with literature is done and reliability of the test setup is proven. Inclined Ground Effect and Ground Effect with ...
Aerodynamic Design Analysis Of Missiles With Strake Configurations At Supersonic Mach Numbers
Usta, Engin; Kıvanç, Arslan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2015-09-10)
Missiles having very low aspect ratio fins are generally difficult to model by using engineering level aerodynamics tools and linear theories break due to complex nature of the flow adjacent to the mutual interference of the body and fin. For this reason fast prediction methods are not very successful in most of the cases, and there is a need for research. In this paper, computational methods are used to predict normal force and center of pressure of missiles with very low aspect ratio fin configuration. A ...
AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF SUPERSONIC FLOW OVER A SIMPLE AIRCRAFT GEOMETRY BY USING CST AND PANEL METHODS

In this paper, the aerodynamic properties of a selected aircraft geometry are calculated in supersonic flow condition using PANAIR. PANAIR is an open-source high-order panel method solver for irrotational and inviscid flows and it is more efficient than higher fidelity CFD analyses for the preliminary design process since it is faster and easier to use. A batch of supersonic analyses is completed for different wing/body configurations for the selected aircraft geometry and with various panel g...
Aerodynamic Modelling and Analysis of a Novel Mechanism for Chord and Camber Morphing Wing
Şahin, Harun Levent; Çaklr, Bora Orçun; Yaman, Yavuz (2018-06-22)
This paper presents the aerodynamic modelling and analysis of surfaces created by a novel deployable mechanism, which is composed of a four-bar linkage and a scissor-structural mechanism (SSM) which contains several scissor-like elements (SLEs). With the help of that mechanism, which is located inside the trailing portion of wing section, continuous adjustment of the airfoil is possible. In order to highlight the advantageous aerodynamic characteristics of newly created airfoil geometries via proposed SSM, ...
