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 added to water-glycol mixture together. After that, study was focused on effect of polymer which makes the solution pseudoplastic. Further investigations on viscosity behavior of the solution at different pH values, glycol and water mixtures and surfactant weight ratios, which is used for surface tension reduction, were performed. For the investigation of flow instability characteristics of the solutions’ flows, linear stability analysis for two-layer flows is a basic tool. Firstly, the effects of main parameters on the stability of two-layer flows were observed with a parametric study. Then, the commercially available and developed de-icing and anti-icing solutions were compared according to the characteristics of unstable waves. According to the results, unstable waves on developed de-icing fluids are observed at a lower critical wind speed compared to the commercially available de-icing solution. Moreover, it flows off the wing faster due to a higher value of critical wave speed. Developed anti-icing solution has similar wave characteristics compared to commercially available anti-icing solution, except critical wave speed, which is significantly lower. However, this problem can be overcome by decreasing the viscosity of developed anti-icing solution at very low shear rates.

Development of control allocation methods for satellite attitude control
Elmas, Tuba Çiğdem; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010)
This thesis addresses the attitude control of satellites with similar and dissimilar actuators and control allocation methods on maneuvering. In addition, the control moment gyro (CMG) steering with gyroscopes having limited gimbal angle travel is also addressed. Full Momentum envelopes for a cluster of four CMG's are obtained in a pyramid type mounting arrangement. The envelopes when gimbal travel is limited to plus-minus 90 degree are also obtained. The steering simulations using Moore Penrose (MP) pseudo...
A method of strain and stress analysis for failure prediction in laminated composites
Ardiç, E.S.; Bolcan, C.; Kayran, Altan (SAGE Publications, 1995-01-01)
In this study, a method of strain and stress analysis is developed to predict the failure initiation in laminated composites containing two or more different kinds of laminae. In principle, the method developed in this study is similar to non-local elasticity, but the long-range interactions are considered on the strains instead of material moduli, and the method is developed and applied as a realistic and practical one. Firstly, the strain fields in each layer are determined separately and then these strai...
Analysis of stability and trasitionin flat plate compressible boundary layers using linear stability theory
Atalayer, H. Senem; Özge, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2004)
In this study, numerical investigations of stability and transition problems were performed for 2D compressible boundary layers over a flat plate in adiabatic wall condition. Emphasis was placed on linear stability theory. The mathematical formulation for 3D boundary layers with oblique waves including detailed theoretical information was followed by use of the numerical techniques for the solution of resulting differential system of the instability problem, consequently an eigenvalue problem. First, two-di...
NUMERICAL-SIMULATION OF 3-DIMENSIONAL SUPERSONIC FREE SHEAR LAYERS
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 1992-04-01)
The temporal stability and growth characteristics of three-dimensional supersonic shear layers are numerically investigated. An explicit time-marching scheme that is second-order accurate in time and fourth-order accurate in space is used to study this problem. The shear layer is excited by instability waves computed from a linear stability analysis and random initial disturbances. At low convective Mach numbers, organized vortical structures develop both for the random disturbance and the modal disturba...
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...
