Three-dimensional design and three-dimensional CFD analysis of a compressor rotor stage are performed. The design methodology followed is based on a mean line analysis and a radial equilibrium phase. The radial equilibrium is established at a selected number of radii. NACA 65 series airfoils are selected and stacked according to the experimental data available. The CFD methodology applied is based on a three-dimensional, finite difference, compressible flow Euler solver that includes the source terms belonging to rotational motion. The accuracy of the solver is shown by making use of two different test cases. The CFD solution of the designed geometry predicts the static pressure rises and flow turning angles to a good degree of accuracy.

Evaluation of a new turbulence model for boundary layer flows with pressure gradient Marangoz, Alp; Çıray, Cahit; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005) In this thesis, a new turbulence model developed previously for channel and flat plate flows is evaluated for flat plate flows with pressure gradient. For this purpose a flow solver, which uses boundary layer equations as the governing equations and Von Karman momentum integral equation for the calculation of skin friction, is developed. It is shown that the error of the new turbulence model, in predicting the velocity profile, is less than 5 % for the flat plate flows without pressure gradient and less tha...
Development of a wing design tool using euler/navier-stokes flow solver Ülker, Kıvanç; Akmandor, İbrahim Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005) A three dimensional wing design tool with analysis functions has been developed with embedded Euler/Navier-Stokes flow solver and a three dimensional hyperbolic grid generator. A graphical user interface has been constructed using PYTHON script language and the tool was enhanced with pre-processing and post-processing capabilities. Analysis and design procedures are demonstrated with automatic grid generation, automatic series solution and automatic graphs and reports generation.
A layerwise approach to modeling piezolaminated plates Ertürk, Cevher Levent; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005) In this thesis, optimal placement of adhesively bonded piezoelectric patches on laminated plates and the determination of geometry of the bonding area to maximize actuation effect are studied. A new finite element model, in which each layer is considered to be a separate plate, is developed. The adhesive layer is modeled as a distributed spring system. In this way, relative transverse normal and shear motion of the layers are allowed. Effect of delamination on the adhesive layer stresses is also studied and...
Conceptual internal design and computational fluid dynamics analysis of a supersonic inlet Alemdaroğlu, Mine; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005) In this thesis, the conceptual internal design of the air inlet of a supersonic, high altitude, solid propellant ramjet cruise missile is performed. Inviscid, compressible CFD analysis of the designed inlet is made in order to obtain qualitative and quantitative performance characteristics of the inlet at different operating conditions. The conceptual design of the inlet is realized by using analytical relations and equations, correlations derived from numerous available past experimental data and state-of-...
Design and performance analysis of a variable pitch axial flow fan for Anakara wind tunnel Yalçın, Levent; Akmandor, İbrahim Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2006) In this study, a variable pitch axial flow fan is designed and analysed for Ankara Wind Tunnel (AWT). In order to determine the loss caharacteristics of AWT, an algorithm is developed and the results are validated. Also some pressure and velocity measurements are made at the fan section to find the losses experimentally. After completion of the fan design, analyses are made at different volumetric flowrates and blade angles including the design point and the performance characteristics of the fan are obtain...
