© 2018, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Wind tunnel testing is an essential procedure to investigate the aerodynamics forces and moments. In this paper, a methodology is presented to perform such test in an efficient way. Experimental design process is carried out before the testing in order to cover the flight regime as much 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 data is the next step. On that matter, two nonlinear modeling techniques are presented and compared with each other. First technique is the well-known Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and the second one is relatively lesser known but a powerful modeling algorithm Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS). After the data is modeled using both approaches, their statistical metrics are compared and the models are integrated into a high fidelity 6DoF equations of motion model. Since all this effort is to improve the simulation accuracy and performance, 6DoF simulations are performed using three different flight scenarios that cover the flight regime of the missile. Afterwards, obtained trajectory and flight parameters are compared. Finally, various flight conditions are produced and the models are evaluated in batch mode to see their performances in terms of computational speed.

Computational modelling and analysis of porous bleed holes at supersonic speeds Akar, Gökhan; Eyi, Sinan (2020-01-01) © 2020, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Shock Wave / Boundary Layer Interaction is an important issue that should be taken into account when studying inlet design. Bleed holes have traditionally been used to remove the lower momentum part of the boundary layer to avoid separation from adverse Shock Wave / Boundary Layer Interaction. In this study, modeling of porous bleed holes investigated in computational fluid dynamics on a flat plate with and without an ...
Implementation of ball-center spring analogy mesh deformation technique with CFD design optimization Yang, Yosheph; Özgen, Serkan (2015-01-01) © 2015, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Mesh deformation technique plays an important role in several numerical simulations and applications including design optimization. This paper aims to implement the developed unstructured mesh deformation technique for CFD Design Optimization around 2-D Airfoils. During the optimization procedure, the newly deformed mesh is generated by using the updated Ball-Center Spring analogy mesh deformation technique. The compar...
Noise prediction of a transonic cavity flow via shear-layer-adapted delayed detached-eddy simulation Yalçın, Özgür; Özyörük, Yusuf (2018-01-01) © 2018 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.An open cavity flow contains a highly turbulent shear layer which separates from the upstream edge and impinges on the aft wall of the cavity, causing intense noise emission. In this study, a delayed detached-eddy simulation (DDES) with the use of "shear-layer-adapted" subgrid length scale, an enhancement of DDES available in literature, is conducted for such an open cavity flow problem. The results show that this len...
Modification of the extended messinger model for mixed phase icing and industrial applications with TAICE Ayan, Erdem; Özgen, Serkan (2017-01-01) © 2017, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Computational studies have been performed in order to predict mixed phase ice accretion on aircraft components. In-house developed TAICE tool has been used in this study. Previously, TAICE was already validated for icing cases due to water droplets only. In addition, in the framework of High Altitude Ice Crystals (HAIC) FP7 European project, mixed phase ice accretion prediction capability has been added to TAICE. Up to...
Analysis of effects of different diffusion models in hypersonic flow regimes Gur, H. Berk; Eyi, Sinan (2017-01-01) © 2017, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Hypersonic flows become popular due to its use in space explorations and military applications. It occurs normally, when a space craft re-enter to the atmosphere. Space crafts are exposed to high temperatures and high pressures because of Earth’s atmosphere and gravity. In addition in high temperatures, gases tend to react with each other. These reactions also have effects on space craft’s surface. In order to calculat...
