The first step in Engine Design for an airframe is being the on-design cycle analysis. The results of this analysis are later used in off-design cycle analysis, which gives critical information about the performance of the engine on the whole flight envelope. Both analysis results are later used in turbomachinery component design. In order to accomplish these objectives, an engine design model in MATLAB Simulink® (named as Engine Design Model, EDM) is developed for Separate Flow Turbofan Engines. This engine type is chosen according to its wide usage in Aerospace Industry, but the model can also be extended to the other types of Turbofan and Turbojet Engines. The Engine Design Model uses Variable Specific Heat Model in order to obtain best estimates in thermodynamic parameters throughout the whole cycle. The model use the solution algorithms given in Aircraft Engine Design, 2nd Edition [Mattingly, J.D., Heiser W.H., and Pratt, D.T., 2002] for cycle analysis and its verification is made with AEDsys Software, which also uses the same algorithm. The model also includes an aerothermodynamic turbomachinery design section, which uses the outputs from the cycle analysis and its validation is made with engine data of CFM56-5A and GE90-94B engines. The model is then used in an optimization process, which select the best engine according to the constraints determined by the user by using SIMPLEX and gradient descent algorithms.

Three dimensional reacting flow analysis of a cavity-based scramjet combustor Rouzbar, Ramin; Eyi, Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016) Scramjet engines have become one of the main interest areas of the supersonic propulsion systems. Scramjets are rather a new technology and they possess unsolved issues and problems regarding their operation, especially in the combustion process. Combustion at high speeds cause various problems as flame instability and poor fuel-air mixing efficiency. One of the methods used to overcome these problems is to recess cavity in the combustor wall where secondary flow is generated. In this study, a CFD tool is d...
Aeroelastic stability prediction using flutter flight test data Yıldız, Erdinç Nuri; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) Flutter analyses and tests are the major items in flight certification efforts required when a new air vehicle is developed or when a new external store is developed for an existing aircraft. The flight envelope of a new aircraft as well as the influence of aircraft modifications on an existing flight envelope can be safely determined only by flutter tests. In such tests, the aircraft is instrumented by accelerometers and exciters. Vibrations of the aircraft at specific dynamic pressures are measured and tr...
Optimization of types, numbers and locations of sensors and actuators used in modal analysis of aircraft structures using genetic algorithm Pedramasl, Nima; Şahin, Melin; Acar, Erdem; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017) Aircraft structures are exposed to dynamic loads under service conditions and therefore, it is necessary to determine their dynamic characteristics. Dynamic characteristics of a structure can be determined using simulation-based methods such as finite element analysis (FEA) or test-based methods such as experimental modal analysis (EMA). In order to perform an EMA with reliable and high quality results, test equipment must be lightweight and have high accuracy. In addition, the sensors and actuators must be...
Design and manufacturing of a high speed, jet powered target drone Özyetiş, Ender; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) This thesis presents the design and manufacturing of a high speed jet powered UAV which is capable of flying at M=0.5. Flight time of the UAV is 30 minutes at 1700 m above sea level. Aerodynamic and structural design of the UAV is conducted for 6g sustained and 9g instantaneous loads. Low aspect ratio blended wing-body design is decided due to low drag and high maneuverability. The Structure of the UAV consists of the composite parts such as frames and skin and mechanical parts such as landing gears which a...
Experimental and numerical inestigation of an s-duct diffuser designed for a micro turbojet engine powered aircraft Aslan, Samet; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016) S-duct diffusers are often used for aircraft propulsion systems that convey the intake air to the engine compressor. In this thesis, flow structure at separated entrance conditions in an S-duct diffuser that designed for a micro turbojet engine powered aircraft is investigated using experimental and numerical methods. Flow characteristics such as flow separation, secondary flows, and swirl are investigated to find out the source of distortions and pressure loss at aerodynamics interface plane. Experiments a...
