© 1993 American Institute of Aeronautics and Aerodynamics, Inc. All rights reserved.A Navier-Stokes/potential flow interactive solution method suitable for the solution of steady-state and unsteady flowfields around airfoils has been developed. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved in the close proximity of an airfoil and in its wake. The inviscid flowfield surrounding the viscous flow regions is assumed to be irrotational and isentropic. In the inviscid flow region, the potential flow equations, which are based on distributed sources and vortices, are solved. The two solutions are strongly coupled through the application of their boundary conditions. The strongly coupled Navier-Stokes/potential flow interactive solution methods confines computations to a small domain in the proximity of an airfoil. For steady flow solutions, the computational domain may be confined to a region which extends less than one-fifth of a chord length distance away from the airfoil surface. Computed solutions have the same accuracy as the full domain Navier Stokes solutions. Yet, as a result of the significantly reduced computational domain and increased convergence rates, the Navier-Stokes/potential flow interactive solution method is about 40% more efficient computationally.

A computational study of flow separation characteristics and wake profiles behind a flapping airfoil Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (1999-01-01) © 1999 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.Unsteady, viscous flowfields over a NACA0012 airfoil oscillated in plunge and/or pitch at various reduced frequency, amplitude and phase shift are computed. Vortical wake formations, boundary layer flows at the leading edge, the formation of leading edge vortices and their downstream convection are presented in terms of unsteady particle traces. Flow separation characteristics and thrust producing wake profiles are identifie...
A multi-fidelity, multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization framework for the design of morphing UAV wings Ciarella, Andrea; Tsotskas, Christos; Hahn, Marco; Werter, Noud P. M.; De Breuker, Roeland; Beaverstock, Chris S.; Friswell, Michael I.; Yang, Yosheph; Özgen, Serkan; Antoniadis, Antonios; Tsoutsanis, Panagiotis; Drikakis, Dimitris (null; 2015-01-01) © 2015 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.A framework for the design and optimization of a morphing wing is presented. It allows the user to simplify the design process of a morphing UAV wing with a simple and effective interface with the possibility to easily switch between flight phases and morphing concepts. It consists of two main solvers: a high-fidelity CFD module for detailed RANS simulation and a fast low-fidelity module that solves the aeroelastic prob...
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...
A multi-point optimization for transonic airfoil design Hager, J.O.; Eyi, Sinan; Lee, K.D. (1992-01-01) © 1992 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.A two-point, aerodynamic design method is presented which improves the aerodynamic performance of transonic airfoils over a range of the flight envelope. It couples an Euler flow solver and a numerical optimization tool. The major limitation of single-point design is the poor off-design performance. Two-point design is used to extend the optimized performance range over more of the desired flight envelope. The method ...
An analysis of stochastic disturbances on nonlinear missile-target engagements based on the adjoint method Sezer, Emrah; Nalcı, Mehmet Ozan; Kutay, Ali Türker (2016-01-01) © 2016, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc. All rights reserved.A stochastic adjoint analysis tool that can capture the dominant nonlinearities of a typical missile-target engagement scenario, in addition to the dominant dynamics and stochastic error sources of a missile is developed. The two dimensional, nonlinear missile target terminal engagement problem is modeled in state dependent coefficient form, to generate a set of truth data. Dominant missile dynamics regarding the miss distan...
