In this thesis, shroud separation on generic missile is performed by using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This study is divided into two main parts. In the first part, aerodynamic coefficients of generic missile are calculated and store separation is performed. Additionally, the numerical analyses results are compared respectively with the experimental results in order to validate of CFD analyses method. Three-dimensional steady/unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are solved and three different turbulence models which are one-equation Spalart-Allmaras, two-equation Realizable k-ε, and two-equation k-ω SST methods are used. Aerodynamic coefficients results are validated with a HB generic missile and multi body dynamic simulation is validated with an EGLIN store separation test case by using Chimera grid method. Aerodynamic coefficients and store position/angle changes results are compared with experimental data respectively and all of them are in good agreement. As a result of all this validation, in the second part, a parametric study for shroud separations on generic missile is carried out in order to investigate altitude, Mach number, angle of attack, side-slip angle and ejection moment effects during the separation, and results of CFD simulation are presented.

Numerical investigation of characteristics of pitch and roll damping coefficients for missile models
Kayabaşı, İskander; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012)
In this thesis the characteristics of pitch and roll damping coefficients of missile models are investigated by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques. Experimental data of NACA0012 airfoil, Basic Finner (BF) and Modified Basic Finner (MBF) models are used for validation and verification studies. Numerical computations are performed from subsonic to supersonic flow regimes. Grid refinement and turbulence model selection studies are conducted before starting the dynamic motion simulations. Numer...
CFD simulation of the developing boundary layer in an atmospheric wind tunnel
Kıran, Defne; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Çete, Ali Ruhşen; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
Structural coupling methods are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled systems. In this study, the reverse problem, i.e. predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular subsystem from the knowledge of the dynamics of the overall system and of all the other subsystems, is studied. This problem arises when a substructure cannot be measured separately, but only when coupled to neighboring substructures. The dynamic decoupling problem of coupled linear structures is well investigated in literature. Howev...
Application of spring analogy mesh deformation technique in airfoil design optimization
Yang, Yosheph; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015)
In this thesis, an airfoil design optimization with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis combined with mesh deformation method is elaborated in detail. The mesh deformation technique is conducted based on spring analogy method. Several improvements and modifications are addressed during the implementation of this method. These enhancements are made so that good quality of the mesh can still be maintained and robustness of the solution can be achieved. The capability of mesh deformation is verified by...
CFD MODELING OF FORCED COOLING OF COMPUTER CHASSIS
OZTURK, Emre; Tarı, İlker (2007-12-01)
In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics, which has taken its position in the thermal design of electronic packages, was used in order to draw a CFD road map for forced cooling conjugate heat transfer analyses in heat generating electronic systems. The main sources of error in CM analyses arise from inappropriate numerical models including turbulence models, radiation modeling and discretization schemes, insufficient grid resolution, and lack of convergence. A complete computer chassis model with heat si...
CFD Analyses of a Notebook Computer Thermal Management System and a Proposed Passive Cooling Alternative
Tarı, İlker (2010-06-01)
A notebook computer thermal management system is analyzed using a commercial computational fluid dynamics software package (ANSYS Fluent). The active and passive paths that are used for heat dissipation are examined for different steady state operating conditions. For each case, average and hot-spot temperatures of the components are compared with the maximum allowable operating temperatures. It is observed that when low heat dissipation components are put on the same passive path, the increased heat load o...
