A flow control actuator utilizing steady/pulsating jet of pressurized air was designed and installed in a wind tunnel testing model of elliptic cylinder wing. To test its effectiveness and feasibility for flow separation control, an experimental study was conducted in a subsonic wind tunnel through surface pressure measurements, PIV measurements and flow visualization. The most effective jet slot position was found to be +45° from the chord line toward the upper wing with surface pressure measurements and visualization study. The PIV results showed that both steady and pulsed jets were able to suppress the separation development. However it was found that the pulsed jet was more effective method of separation control for both stationary and oscillating wings.

Aerodynamic design and control of tandem wing unmanned aerial vehicle Kaya, Taşkın; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) This thesis presents an approach towards the design methodology of electrical propulsion, tandem wing unmanned aerial vehicle. Due to its possible rewarding features, tandem wing design is investigated as the main subject of this study. The stability and control characteristics of tandem wing aircraft are critical since the interference between the two wings may result in nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics for varying angles of attack. Thus, the design of the controller system requires careful handling, ...
Vortex Formation and Force Generation Mechanisms of the DelFly II in Hovering Flight Tenaglia, A; Perçin, Mustafa; Van Oudheusden, Bas W.; Deng, Shuanghou; Remes, Bart (2014-08-12) This paper addresses the unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms in the hovering flight of the DelFly II flapping-wing Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV). Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV) were carried out around the wings at a high framing rate. Thrust-force was measured to investigate the relation between the vortex dynamics and the aerodynamic force generation. The results reveal that the Leading-Edge-Vortex (LEV), as well as the high flexibility of the wings, have a major effect on thrust generation....
Genetic Algorithm based aerodynamic shape optimization tool for wind turbine blades and its implementation to helicopter blades Polat, Özge; Sezer-uzol, Nilay; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2014-01-01) This study presents a methodology first built up for the aerodynamic shape optimization for wind turbine rotors and its modified version for a helicopter rotor in hover. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) coupled with an in-house Blade Element Momentum (BEM) tool is used in the design optimization process. The wind turbine blade optimization studies are performed for maximizing the power production at a given wind speed, rotor speed and rotor diameter, while for the helicopter blade optimization in hover, figure of...
Experimental design and statistical modeling for efficient wind tunnel testing Savaş, Özgün; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) Wind tunnel testing is an essential procedure to measure the aerodynamic forces and moments on an air vehicle. In this thesis, a method is presented to perform such test in an efficient way. First, an experimental design process is carried out before the testing in order to cover the flight regime as fine as possible with the least possible number of tests. After the determination of the test matrix and conducting the wind-on tests, the modeling of the output data is the next step. On that matter, since the...
Flight control system design of an uncommon quadrotor aerial vehicle Baskın, Mehmet; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-01) In this thesis, design of a flight control system for an uncommon quadrotor aerial vehicle is discussed. This aerial vehicle consists of two counter-rotating big rotors on longitudinal axis to increase the lift capacity and flight endurance, and two counter-rotating small tilt rotors on lateral axis to stabilize the attitude. Firstly, full nonlinear dynamic model of this vehicle is obtained by using Newton-Euler formulation. Later, derived approximate linear model around hover is statically decoupled to sim...
