In this study the dynamical modeling of the unsteady flow over a flapping wing is considered. The technique is based on collecting instantaneous velocity field data of the flow using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), applying image processing to these snapshots to locate the airfoil, filling the airfoil and its surface with proper velocity data, applying Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) to these post-processed images to compute the POD modes and time coefficients, and finally fitting a discrete time state space dynamical model to the trajectories of the time coefficients using subspace system identification (N4SID). The procedure is applied using MATLAB for the data obtained from NACA 0012, SD 7003, elliptic airfoil and flat plate, and the results show that the dynamical model obtained can represent the flow dynamics with acceptable accuracy.

Arpacı, Anıl; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Department of Computer Engineering (2019)
As a multi-disciplinary optimization problem, aerostructural shape optimization of airplane wings requires both aerodynamic and structural analysis to meet an objective defined as the sum of parameters like drag to lift ratio and wing weight, subjected to penalty of structural yield stress and geometrical sizing constraints to get aerodynamically efficient and lightweight 3D wings. In our study, genetic algorithms are utilized for optimization of 3D wing with its internal structural components. In order to ...

In this thesis, a landing autopilot for an UAV (IAI Pioneer RQ-2) is designed based on a nonlinear MATLAB model implemented with MATLAB/Simulink. In order to control the movement of the UAV at lateral and longitudinal axes, a speed, an altitude, a heading angle (direction) and a yaw rate controllers are designed. Controller design procedure is started with determination of different trim points of the aircraft. Next, the corresponding initial states and initial inputs are obtained. The model is linearized a...
