In the present study, different flow control approaches including bio-inspired edge modifications, passive bleeding, and pulsed blowing are introduced and applied for the flow over non-slender delta wing. Experiments are conducted in a low speed wind tunnel for a 45 degree swept delta wing using qualitative and quantitative measurement techniques including laser illuminated smoke visualization, particle image velocimety (PIV), and surface pressure measurements. For the bio-inspired edge modifications, the edges of the wing are modified to dolphin fluke geometry. In addition, the concept of flexion ratio, a ratio depending on the flexible length of animal propulsors such as wings, is introduced. For passive bleeding, directing the free stream air from the pressure side of the planform to the suction side of the wing is applied. For pulsed blowing, periodic air injection through the leading edge of the wing is performed in a square waveform with 25% duty cycle at different excitation frequencies and compared with the steady and no blowing cases. The results indicate that each control approach is quite effective in terms of altering the overall flow structure on the planform. However, the success level, considering the elimination of stall or delaying the vortex breakdown, depends on the parameters in each method.

Control of flow structure on nonslender delta wing using passive bleeding: effects of orientation, angle, and solidity ratio Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Kestel, Kayacan (null; 2018-11-18) Recently, we have demonstrated that the bleeding, which utilizes passages inside the wing to allow the fluid flowing from the pressure side to the suction side by using inherent pressure difference, could be used as an effective flow control method for nonslender delta wings. In the present study, this technique is investigated in detail for nonslender delta wings of 35 and 45-degree sweep angles in a low speed wind tunnel using smoke visualization, particle image velocimetry, and surface pressure measureme...
Computation of Vortical Flow Fields over a Close-Coupled Delta Canard-Wing Configuration and Adjoint Based Configuration Optimization Tikenoğulları, Alp; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2-10) This study aims at investigating the vortical flow field over a close-coupled delta canard-wing configuration to understand the vortex interactions and the mechanism of lift enhancement provided by the canard, especially at high angles of attack, and employing an adjoint-based configuration optimization to achieve further enhancements in aerodynamic forces. An open-source CFD solver, SU2 is employed for both flow field computations and adjoint-based configuration optimizations. First, flow solutions with SU...
Aerodynamic and inertial characterization of a generic flapping wing mechanism Beker , Can; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2020-10) The primary focus of this thesis is to conduct an aerodynamical and inertial characterization of a generic flapping wing mechanism. Firstly, a CAD model of the utilized flapping mechanism is created, and a custom test platform is developed for the performed flapping-wing test sequence. Experimental validation of the modal analysis performed for the developed test platform is presented. In the inertial force characterization study, the standalone effect of the inertial forces that occur during flapping motio...
Error analysis and assessment of unsteady forces acting on a flapping wing micro air vehicle: free flight versus wind-tunnel experimental methods Caetano, J. V.; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, B. W.; Remes, B.; de Wagter, C.; de Croon, G. C. H. E.; de Visser, C. C. (IOP Publishing, 2015-10-01) An accurate knowledge of the unsteady aerodynamic forces acting on a bio-inspired, flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV) is crucial in the design development and optimization cycle. Two different types of experimental approaches are often used: determination of forces from position data obtained from external optical tracking during free flight, or direct measurements of forces by attaching the FWMAV to a force transducer in a wind-tunnel. This study compares the quality of the forces obtained from both m...
Transformation of flow structure on a delta wing of moderate sweep angle during pitch-up maneuver Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2012-08-01) The transformation of flow structure on a delta wing of moderate sweep angle is investigated during pitch-up via quantitative imaging in crossflow planes, in relation to qualitative dye visualization. The comparisons are made with the corresponding stationary wing. The effects of different pitch-up maneuver rates and Reynolds numbers on evolution of flow patterns are also addressed. A technique of high-image-density particle image velocimetry is employed for the quantitative analysis. The transformation of ...
