All rights reserved.The gradient based sensitivities required by design optimization are obtained by three different methods based on three dimensional Euler equations. Finite difference, Direct and Adjoint methods are used to compute objective sensitivities. A cell centered, upwind based finite volume method is implemented to discretize the Euler equations. The flow solution is obtained by preconditioned matrix-free Newton-GMRES algorithm. The required derivatives for Adjoint and Direct methods are obtained by analytical derivation of discrete flow equations. Resulted linear systems are solved by PARDISO solver. Design variables are selected as Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) curve and surface control points while Radial Basis Function (RBF) is used in volume mesh deformation.

All rights reserved.Maneuver inputs designed for aircraft parameter identification are often applied during the aircraft flies close to a trimmed flight condition at an approximately constant Mach number. Since a fixed wing aircraft has control over its thrust and speed, various maneuver inputs can be applied to identify aerodynamic derivatives at discrete Mach numbers. On the contrary, most agile missile configurations do not have contr...

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...

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 ...
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...
