Aerodynamic design and control of tandem wing unmanned aerial vehicle
Kaya, Taşkın; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
This thesis presents an approach towards the design methodology of electrical propulsion, tandem wing unmanned aerial vehicle. Due to its possible rewarding features, tandem wing design is investigated as the main subject of this study. The stability and control characteristics of tandem wing aircraft are critical since the interference between the two wings may result in nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics for varying angles of attack. Thus, the design of the controller system requires careful handling, ...
Aerodynamic optimization of missile external configurations
Arslan, Kıvanç; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, design optimization methods capable of optimizing aerodynamic performances of missiles and rockets are developed. Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) and Random Search (RS) methods are used for optimization, whereas Missile DATCOM, which is a semi-empirical aerodynamic analysis tool, is used to calculate aerodynamic coefficients of missile configurations. As the first part of the work, capabilities and limitations of SQP and RS optimization methods are investigated on a complex test funct...
Aerodynamic design and performance analyses of grid fin in supersonic flow using design of experiments and computational fluid dynamics
Dinçer, Erdem; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2)
Control surfaces are key components of missile aerodynamic performance that can create the necessary forces and moments to make maneuvers. Grid fins are unconventional control surfaces used for aerodynamic control of missiles. In this thesis, parametric design of grid fin is performed in terms of aerodynamic performance using Design of Experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics. The 3-D, steady-state, compressible, viscous flow CFD simulations are performed for the complex grid fin geometries in supersoni...
Aerodynamic Design Analysis Of Missiles With Strake Configurations At Supersonic Mach Numbers
Usta, Engin; Kıvanç, Arslan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2015-09-10)
Missiles having very low aspect ratio fins are generally difficult to model by using engineering level aerodynamics tools and linear theories break due to complex nature of the flow adjacent to the mutual interference of the body and fin. For this reason fast prediction methods are not very successful in most of the cases, and there is a need for research. In this paper, computational methods are used to predict normal force and center of pressure of missiles with very low aspect ratio fin configuration. A ...
Aerodynamic design and optimization of horizontal axis wind turbines by using bem theory and genetic algorithm
Ceyhan, Özlem; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
An aerodynamic design and optimization tool for wind turbines is developed by using both Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory and Genetic Algorithm. Turbine blades are optimized for the maximum power production for a given wind speed, a rotational speed, a number of blades and a blade radius. The optimization variables are taken as a fixed number of sectional airfoil profiles, chord lengths, and twist angles along the blade span. The airfoil profiles and their aerodynamic data are taken from an airfoil datab...
