A computational study of a close-coupled delta canard-wing-body configuration

Subsonic flowfields over a close-coupled delta canard-wing-body configuration at high angles of attack from 20° to 30' are computed using the OVERFLOW Navier-Stokes solver. Computed flowfields are presented in terms of particle traces, surface streamlines and leeward-side surface pressure distributions for the canard on and off configurations. The interaction between the canard and the wing vortices, wing vortex breakdown and the influence of the canard on vortex breakdown are identified. It is computed that the presence of the canard delays the wing vortex breakdown to positions aft, of the wing trailing edge at α = 20' and n = 24.2'. The surface pressure distributions on the wing, canard and fuselage compare well with the experimental data at α = 20'. As the angle of attack increases, some discrepancies in the vortex trajectories are observed.

Computational investigation of flow through a louvered inlet configuration
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2001-01-01)
Viscous, subsonic flows through a flush louvered inlet configuration without inlet vanes are investigated using the overflow Navier-Stokes solver with overset grids. The variation of the mass flow rate through the engine intake as a function of intake pressure is assessed. The computed results show that the flow distortion and the pressure loss in the plenum chamber are significant, yet a sufficient amount of mass flow rate may be obtained at the expense of total pressure recovery.

Unsteady aerodynamics of stationary/flapping airfoil combination in tandem
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Ortiz, Ma; Platzer, Max F (null; 1997-01-01)
Unsteady flowfields over a stationary/flapping airfoil combination in tandem are computed using a Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes solver. A single C-type grid is employed and the Happing motion of the trailing airfoil is implemented by deforming the grid in the near vicinity of the trailing airfoil. The unsteady effect of the flapping motion on the upstream airfoil is investigated by varying the location, the flapping amplitude and frequency of the trailing airfoil. Unsteady flowfields arc presented in term...
A computational study of subsonic flows over a medium range cargo aircraft
Uygun, Murat; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2003-01-01)
Inviscid and viscous flows over CN-235 cargo aircraft are computed at cruise conditions and at angles of attack ranging from 0 deg to 5 deg using CFD-FASTRAN Navier-Stokes solver. Computations are performed on a Pentium III based PC with a 1Gb memory. Grid sensitivity and verification studies are performed on clean-wing and wing-nacelle configurations to determine the effects of the surface grid density, the size of the computational domain and available numerical schemes. Inviscid and viscous flows with av...
A Study on the Performance of a Complementary Auxiliary Antenna Pattern for Maisel Sidelobe Blanker
DINLER, Dogancan; Candan, Çağatay; KOC, Sencer (2018-04-27)
The problem of coupling between probability of target blanking (P-TB) and probability of blanking (P-B) in Maisel sidelobe blanker (SLB) is addressed and a complementary auxiliary antenna pattern is proposed for phased array radar systems. The numerical results indicate that the complementary pattern provides an improvement on P-TB and P-B especially for the cases where antennas have poor mainlobe-to-sidelobe ratio.
