This paper presents the aerodynamic modelling and analysis of surfaces created by a novel deployable mechanism, which is composed of a four-bar linkage and a scissor-structural mechanism (SSM) which contains several scissor-like elements (SLEs). With the help of that mechanism, which is located inside the trailing portion of wing section, continuous adjustment of the airfoil is possible. In order to highlight the advantageous aerodynamic characteristics of newly created airfoil geometries via proposed SSM, several aerodynamic analyses have been performed. The flow characteristics used for the analyses are determined by the flight envelope of an intended generic UAV. Since the maximum speed range of the sample aircraft is well below Mach 0.3, incompressible flow assumption is made throughout the solutions and conservation laws of Reynolds Transport Theorem are employed.

Numerical simulation of scour at the rear side of a coastal revetment Şentürk, Barış Ufuk; Guler, Hasan Gokhan; Baykal, Cüneyt (2023-05-01) This paper presents the results of a numerical modeling study on the scouring of unprotected rear side material of a rubble mound coastal revetment due to the overtopping of solitary-like waves utilizing a coupled hydro-morphodynamic computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. Three cases having various wave heights are tested with six different turbulence models together with different wall functions. The hydrodynamic results (free-surface elevations, overtopping volumes, and jet thicknesses) and morphologic...
Dynamic force analysis of a novel mechanism for chord and camber morphing wing under aerodynamic loading Sahin, Harun Levent; Caklr, Bora Orçun; Yaman, Yavuz (2018-09-07) In this paper, the dynamic force analysis of a novel deployable mechanism, called as scissor-structural mechanism (SSM), for active camber and chord morphing have been presented. The mechanism is created via combination of several scissor-like-elements (SLEs). With a novel kinematic synthesis concept, various types of scissor-like-elements are assembled together to provide the desired airfoil geometries. The types (translational, polar), the number of scissor-like-elements, their orientations with respect t...
Coarse-to-fine surface reconstruction from silhouettes and range data using mesh deformation Sahillioğlu, Yusuf; Yemez, Y. (2010-03-01) We present a coarse-to-fine surface reconstruction method based on mesh deformation to build watertight surface models of complex objects from their silhouettes and range data. The deformable mesh, which initially represents the object visual hull, is iteratively displaced towards the triangulated range surface using the line-of-sight information. Each iteration of the deformation algorithm involves smoothing and restructuring operations to regularize the surface evolution process. We define a non-shrinking...
Atmospheric boundary layer simulation in a short wind tunnel Shojaee, S. M. N.; Uzol, Oğuz; Kurç, Özgür (2014-02-01) This paper presents the design, computational analysis and experimental study of passive device configurations which utilized in the Ankara Wind Tunnel to simulate the atmospheric boundary layer within the test section. The study here is part of a joint project between the Aerospace and Civil Engineering Departments at Middle East Technical University, which involves testing of high-rise building models in the Ankara Wind Tunnel. The design consists of spires and rows of cubical surface roughness elements a...
Aerothermodynamic Shape Optimization of Reentry Capsules Using DSMC and POD Methods Kutkan, Halit; Eyi, Sinan (null; 2018-07-09) This paper presents a hybrid method based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) with a trained radial basis function (RBF) network, on direct simulation monte carlo (DSMC) solutions for aerothermodynamic front surface optimization of Stardust re-entry. Gaussian and multiquadric RBFs are implemented for comparison, and multiquadric functions are chosen due to their insensitivity to diverse shape parameters. Cubic uniform B-spline curves are used ...
