This thesis concerns the development, evaluation, comparison and testing of a UH-1H helicopter simulation model with various fidelity levels. In particular, the well known minimum complexity simulation model is updated with various higher fidelity simulation components, such as the Peters-He inflow model, horizontal tail contribution, improved tail rotor model, control mapping, ground e ect, fuselage interactions, ground reactions etc. Results are compared with available flight test data. The dynamic model is integrated into the open source simulation environment called Flight Gear. Finally, the model is cross-checked through evaluations using test pilots.

Flight simulation and control of a helicopter
Erçin, Gülsüm Hilal; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
In this thesis the development of a nonlinear simulation model of a utility helicopter and the design of its automatic flight control system is addressed. In the first part of this thesis, the nonlinear dynamic model for a full size helicopter is developed using the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The main rotor (composed of inflow and flapping dynamics parts), tail rotor, fuselage, vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer of the helicopter are modeled in order to obtain the total forces and moments needed f...
Nonlinear flutter calculations using finite elements in a direct Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation
Seber, Guclu; Bendiksen, Oddvar O. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2008-06-01)
A fully nonlinear aeroelastic formulation of the direct Eulerian-Lagrangian computational scheme is presented in which both structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities are treated without approximations. The method is direct in the sense that the calculations are done at the finite element level, both in the fluid and structural domains, and the fluid-structure system is time-marched as a single dynamic system using a multistage Runge-Kutta scheme. The exact nonlinear boundary condition at the fluid-structure...
Implicit large eddy simulation of vitiation effects in supersonic air/H-2 combustion
Karaca, Mehmet; Zhao, Song; Fedioun, Ivan; Lardjane, Nicolas (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01)
This paper presents and discusses Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES) results of vitiation effects in ground tests of supersonic air/H-2 combustion. This work is useful for realistic extrapolation of ground test data to flight conditions. The high-enthalpy flow configuration retained, typical of scramjet engines, is the Mach 2 LAERTE combustion chamber of the French aerospace lab ONERA. The supersonic air co-flow is preheated by burning a small amount of hydrogen in oxygen-enriched air. Stable numerical s...
Development of de-icing and anti-icing solutions for aircraft on ground and analysis of their flow instability characteristics
Körpe, Durmuş Sinan; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
In this thesis, development process of de-icing and anti-icing solutions and their flow instability characteristics are presented. In the beginning, the chemical additives in the solutions and their effects on the most critical physical properties of the solutions were investigated. Firstly, chemical additives were added to glycol and water mixtures at different weight ratios one by one in order to see their individual effects. Then, the changes in physical properties were observed when the chemicals were a...
Adaptation of a control system to varying missile configurations
Ekinci, Özgür; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009)
Varying missile configurations may create uncertainty for a missile control algorithm developed with linear control theory, for instance the control system performance requirements may not be satisfied anymore. Missile configuration may change during the missile design period due to variations in subsystem locations, subsystem weights and missile geometry. Likewise, burning propellant, deployment of aerodynamic surfaces and wings with varying sweep angle can be considered as in-flight missile configuration ...
