This paper demonstrates a fast and convinent way to model the dynamics of a helicopter with a slung load. A new software tool called Heli-Dyn+ is used to generate high fidelity helicopter math models. One of the benefits of Heli-Dyn+ is that helicopter math models can be exported as dynamic libraries into different software environments. In this paper we develop a generic 3-DOF slung load dynamic model in MATLAB/Simlulink. Then the slung load model is integrated with a nonlinear 6-DOF helicopter model exported from Heli-Dyn+. Simulation results showing longitudinal and lateral responses of the combined model are presented for various flight scenarios.

Aerodynamic shape optimization of wind turbine blades using a 2-D panel method with a boundary layer solver and a Genetic Algorithm
Polat, Ozge; Sezer-uzol, Nilay; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (null; 2012-12-01)
This paper presents an aerodynamic shape optimization methodology for rotor blades of horizontal axis wind turbines. Genetic Algorithm and Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory are implemented for maximization of the power production at a given wind speed, rotor speed and rotor diameter. The potential flow solver with a boundary layer model, XFOIL, provides sectional aerodynamic loads. Optimization variables are selected as the sectional chord length, the sectional twist and the blade profiles at root, mid an...
Vortex Formation and Force Generation Mechanisms of the DelFly II in Hovering Flight
Tenaglia, A; Perçin, Mustafa; Van Oudheusden, Bas W.; Deng, Shuanghou; Remes, Bart (2014-08-12)
This paper addresses the unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms in the hovering flight of the DelFly II flapping-wing Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV). Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV) were carried out around the wings at a high framing rate. Thrust-force was measured to investigate the relation between the vortex dynamics and the aerodynamic force generation. The results reveal that the Leading-Edge-Vortex (LEV), as well as the high flexibility of the wings, have a major effect on thrust generation....
Aerodynamic investigation of a model scale helicopter rotor in ground effect
Şahbaz, Mehmet; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
In this thesis, ground effect issue which is a vital topic for helicopter industry is investigated with model scale.For this purpose, a test setup with model helicopter rotor is established. With setup, ground effect is investigated with inclined ground and ground without inclination. Thrust and torque values are obtained for different rotation speeds with constant collective pitch. Comparison with literature is done and reliability of the test setup is proven. Inclined Ground Effect and Ground Effect with ...
Computer-aided optimum design of steel tubular telescopic pole structures
Dicleli, Murat (1997-03-01)
This paper presents a computer-aided approach for the optimum design of steel tubular telescopic pole structures. The author's experience in steel pole structure's design is implemented in a computer program called ODAPS (optimum design and analysis of pole structures). Although several other computer programs exist for the analysis and design of steel tubular pole structures, they are limited to cases where dimensions are pre-defined by the user. Different from these conventional programs, the developed pr...
Aeroelastic analysis of an unmanned aerial vehicle
Susuz, Umut; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
In this thesis aeroelastic analysis of a typical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) using MSC®FlightLoads and Dynamics module and MSC®NASTRAN Aero 1 solver was performed. The analyses were carried out at sea level, 1000m, 2000m and 4000m altitudes for Mach Numbers M=0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 for the full model of the UAV. The flutter characteristics of the UAV for different flight conditions were obtained and presented. The effect of altitude on flutter characteristics has been examined and compared with the theoretical ...
