The aim of the present study is to understand the aerodynamics phenomena and the vortex topology of the highly unsteady flapping motion. Instead of the use of real insect/bird wing geometries and motions which are highly complex and difficult to imitate by an exact modeling, a simplified model is used to understand the unsteady aerodynamics and vortex formation during the different phase of the flapping motion.

Aerodynamic characteristics of flapping motion in hover Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; FARCY, A.; ALEMDAROGLU, N. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-01-01) The aim of the present work is to understand the aerodynamic phenomena and the vortex topology of an unsteady flapping motion by means of numerical and experimental methods. Instead of the use of real insect/bird wing geometries and kinematics which are highly complex and difficult to imitate by an exact modeling, a simplified model is used in order to understand the unsteady aerodynamics and vortex formation mechanisms during the different phases of the flapping motion. The flow is assumed to be laminar wi...
Investigation of rotor rotor interactions for two helicopters in forward flight using free vortex wake methodology Tonkal, Ozan Çağrı; Pehlivan, Sercan; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; İşler, Veysi (null; 2010-07-01) This paper presents an investigation of the aerodynamic interactions between two UH-1H helicopter rotors in forward flight. The wake flow structure and performance characteristics of the rotors are investigated when the rear rotor is operating within the wake of the front rotor. A 3-D unsteady vortex-panel method potential flow solver based on a free-vortex-wake methodology is used for this purpose. The solver is validated using the experimental data from the Caradonna-Tung experiments. The interactional an...
Numerical Simulation of Rarefied Laminar Flow past a Circular Cylinder Çelenligil, Mehmet Cevdet (2014-07-18) Numerical simulations have been obtained for two-dimensional laminar flows past a circular cylinder in the transitional regime. Computations are performed using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method for Knudsen numbers of 0.02 and 0.2 and Mach numbers of 0.102 and 0.4. For these conditions, Reynolds number ranges from 0.626 to 24.63 and the flows are steady. Results show that separation occurs in the wake region for the flow with Mach number of 0.4 and Knudsen number of 0.02, but for the other eases flow...
Experimental analysis of flow structure on moderate sweep delta wing Öztürk, İlhan; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) Experimental investigation of flow over a 45° moderate swept delta wing is performed using laser illuminated smoke visualization, surface pressure measurements, and Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) techniques in low-speed wind tunnel. The formation of leading-edge vortices and their breakdown, and three-dimensional separation from the surface of the wing are studied at broad range of attack angles and Reynolds numbers. Smoke visualizations are performed at three different cross flow planes along with vortex a...
Dynamical modelling of the flow over a flapping wing using proper orthogonal decomposition and system identification techniques DURMAZ, Oğuz; KARACA, H Deniz; ÖZEN, G Deniz; KASNAKOĞLU, COŞKU; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (2013-04-01) A systematic approach for the dynamical modelling of the unsteady flow over a flapping wing is developed, which is based on instantaneous velocity field data of the flow collected using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The location and orientation of the airfoil is obtained by image processing and the airfoil is filled with proper velocity data. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied to these post-processed images to compute POD modes and time co...
