In this study, the non-equilibrium Johnson and King Turbulence Model (JK model) is implemented in a three-dimensional, Navier-Stokes flow solver. The main program is a structured Euler/Navier-Stokes flow solver in which spatial discretization is accomplished by a finite volume formulation and a multigrid technique is used as a convergence accelerator. The aim is the validation of this in-house developed CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) tool with this enhanced enlarged capability in order to obtain a reliable flow solver that can solve flows over swept wings accurately. Various test cases were evaluated against reference solutions in order to demonstrate the accuracy of the newly implemented JK turbulence model. The selected test cases are NACA 0012 airfoil, ONERA M6 wing, DLR-F4 wing and two wings taken from the 3rd Drag Prediction Workshop. The solutions were analyzed and discussed in detail. The results show appreciably good agreement with the experimental data including force coefficients and surface pressure distributions.

Investigation of the effect of semi-geodesic winding on the vibration characteristics of filament wound shells of revolution
İbrahimoğlu, Can Serkan; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, the effect of semi-geodesic winding on the free vibration characteristics of filament wound composite shells of revolution with variable radii of curvature is studied. The analysis is performed by a semi-analytical solution method which is based on the numerical integration of the finite exponential Fourier transform of the fundamental shell of revolution equations. The governing equations for the free vibration analysis are initially obtained in terms of fundamental shell variables, and the...
Active vibration control of a smart beam : a spatial approach
Kırcalı, Ömer Faruk; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2006)
This study presented the design and implementation of a spatial Hinf controller to suppress the free and forced vibrations of a cantilevered smart beam. The smart beam consists of a passive aluminum beam with surface bonded PZT (Lead-Zirconate-Titanate) patches. In this study, the PZT patches were used as the actuators and a laser displacement sensor was used as the sensor. In the first part of the study, the modeling of the smart beam by the assumed-modes method was conducted. The model correction techniqu...
Nonlinear modeling and flight control system design of an unmanned aerial vehicle
Karakaş, Deniz; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
The nonlinear simulation model of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in MATLAB®/Simulink® environment is developed by taking into consideration all the possible major system components such as actuators, gravity, engine, atmosphere, wind-turbulence models, as well as the aerodynamics components in the 6 DOF equations of motion. Trim and linearization of the developed nonlinear model are accomplished and various related analyses are carried out. The model is validated by comparing with a similar UAV data in te...
Structural optimization of a composite wing
Sökmen, Özlem; Akgün, Mehmet A.; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2006)
In this study, the structural optimization of a cruise missile wing is accomplished for the aerodynamic loads for four different flight conditions. The flight conditions correspond to the corner points of the V-n diagram. The structural analysis and optimization is performed using the ANSYS finite element program. In order to construct the flight envelope and to find the pressure distribution in each flight condition, FASTRAN Computational Fluid Dynamics program is used. The structural optimization is perfo...
Multidisciplinary design of an unmanned aerial vehicle wing
Sakarya, Arzu; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011)
In this thesis, the structural design, structural analysis and producibility analysis of an unmanned aerial vehicle wing were performed. Three different wing models, made of different materials, were designed. The wings were aluminum wing model and composite wing models; made of prepreg and wet lay-up. All wings have the same aerodynamic geometry and structural configuration under the same flight conditions. The structural designs of three wings were done by using Unigraphics NX. The finite element modeling...
