© 2017, Springer International Publishing AG.Supersonic flight has been the subject of last half century. Both civil and defence projects have been running to design an aircraft to fly faster than speed of sound. Developing technology and increasing experience of design leads to faster, fuel efficient, hence, ecological, long-ranged aircrafts. These vehicles make people live easy by shortening travel time, perform missions with powerful defence aircrafts and helping explore space. Aerodynamic design is the main argument of the high speed aircrafts improvement. Having less supersonic drag force, which is greater than the double of subsonic case for conventional aircraft, is the ultimate goal of the aircraft designers at supersonic speed. In this chapter, an aerodynamic characteristics of the entire configuration is optimized in order to reach this aim. Moreover, solver algorithm is validated with computational fluid dynamics simulations for different geometries at various speeds. The objective of this study is to develop a program which optimizes wave drag coefficient of high speed aircrafts by numerical methods.

Wave drag optimization of high speed aircraft Çıtak, Can; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015) Supersonic flight has been the subject of the last half century. Both military and civil projects have been running on to design aircraft that will fly faster than the speed of sound. Developing technology and increasing experience leads to faster, more fuel – efficient, longer ranged aircraft designs. These vehicles have the advantage of shortening travelling times in the civilian role and performing missions with greater success in the military role. Aerodynamic design is the main argument of high speed a...
Applying data mining techniques to detect abnormal flight characteristics ASLANER, H. Emre; UNAL, Cagri; İyigün, Cem (2016-04-20) This paper targets to highlight flight safety issues by applying data mining techniques to recorded flight data and proactively detecting abnormalities in certain flight phases. For this purpose, a result oriented method is offered which facilitates the process of post flight data analysis. In the first part of the study, a common time period of flight is defined and critical flight parameters are selected to be analyzed. Then the similarities of the flight parameters in time series basis are calculated for...
Differences between the two anomalous X-ray pulsars: variations in the spin-down rate of 1E 1048.1-5937 and an extended interval of quiet spin-down in 1E 2259+586 Baykal, Altan; Swank, J; Alpar, MA; Stark, MJ (2000-11-21) We analysed the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) archival data of 1E 1048.1-5937 covering a time-span of more than one year. The spin-down rate of this source decreases by similar to 30 per cent during the observation. We could not resolve the X-ray flux variations because of contamination by eta Carinae. We find that the level of pulse frequency fluctuations of 1E 1048.1-5937 is consistent with typical noise levels of accretion-powered pulsars. Recent RXTE observations of 1E 2259+586 have shown a constan...
Comparison of three recurrent neural networks for rainfall-runoff modelling at a snow-dominated watershed Yokoo, K.; Ishida, K.; Nagasato, T.; Ercan, Ali; Tu, T. (2021-10-25) © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.In recent years, rainfall-runoff modelling using LSTM has shown high adaptability. However, LSTM requires far more computational costs than traditional RNN. In addition, a different type of RNN, GRU, has been developed to solve this issue of LSTM. Therefore, this study compares the accuracy of the deep learning methods for rainfall-runoff modelling using three deep learning methods in a snow-dominated area. Besides, the setting of hyperparameters may affect ac...
Analysis and design optimization of three dimensional nozzles Yildizlar, B.; Eyi, Sinan (2014-01-01) © 2014 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.The aim of this study is to develop analysis and design optimization method for three dimensional nozzles. For analysis, three dimensional Euler equations are solved using both Newton and Newton-GMRES methods and their performances are compared. The Jacobian matrix needed for Newton method is evaluated analytically. Newton-GMRES method is a matrix free solution technique hence it does not require the Jacobian matrix e...
