More than a hundred in-flight incidences have been reported in the last two decades related to icing on aircraft engine components including rollbacks, mechanical failure and flameouts [1, 2]. Thus, in-flight ice accretion on aircraft engine components and nacelles has been attracting more interest, especially from the airworthiness certification point of view. Computer simulations as well as ground and flight tests are among the means of compliance for airworthiness certification related to safe flight in icing conditions. Although current certification requirements define icing conditions in terms of liquid phase clouds only, recent occurrences have necessitated to extend this envelope to include solid phase and mixed phase clouds, encountered in high altitude convective clouds both for airframes and engines [3, 4]. The present study aims at predicting ice accretion on engine nacelles in liquid phase clouds. Such an effort would also allow the prediction of impingement limits and impingement rates required for the design of ice protection systems. Although there is a wealth of experimental and numerical data for wings and airfoils in the literature, such data for nacelle or intake geometries are scarce. As with most computational tools developed for this purpose, the current tool comprises four main modules; modules for flow-field solution, droplet trajectories and collection efficiencies, thermodynamics and ice accretion. The flow-field solution is accomplished by a panel method modified for nacelle geometries and required engine mass flow rates, while the ice accretion module employs the extended Messinger model [5]. The manuscript summarizes the methods used in the developed computational tool that is being constantly extended with new capabilities since around 8 years, followed by the results obtained for benchmark geometries and flow conditions available in the literature. The results include the collection efficiencies for different flight and cloud conditions, as well as the actual ice shapes obtained for those conditions. Effects of SLD on collection efficiencies and ice accretion are also brought out. Comparisons with experimental and numerical data are also presented for the cases for which these are available.

Time domain simulations of radiation from ducted fans with liners Özyörük, Yusuf; Long, L.N. (2001-01-01) Over the last few decades, noise related concerns have played a major role in the development of aircraft engines. The previously dominant jet noise mechanisms are now being replaced by tonal and broadband noise from the fan and interactions from the fan wakes and the downstream stator. Alternately, engine inlet and exhaust ducts are being fitted with sophisticated liner materials that aid in damping fan related noise. In this paper, the authors investigate the radiation problem from the engine inlets with ...
Optimal trajectory generation and tracking for a helicopter in tail rotor failure Arslan, Yusuf Onur; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-8-23) Tail rotor failure is the main reason for a variety of helicopter accidents throughout aviation history. It is troublesome to control and navigate the helicopter to a predefined landing point with a non-functioning tail rotor especially if the number of available landing sites is limited. The objective of this thesis is to generate flight trajectories for a helicopter with a failed tail rotor and to track the trajectories by a controller. In this work, the generic helicopter model in FLIGHTLAB software is u...
Radar cross section reduction of cylindrical cavities using ray-tracing method Sezgin, Yusuf; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-16) Low observability technology, which aims to make it difficult to be detected, tracked, and hit by the enemy forces is one of the most critical technologies for 5th generation fighter aircraft. Low observability in Radio Frequency (RF) band is achieved by minimizing the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of the aircraft at specific angular zones and frequencies. RCS is a quantity related to the amount of reflection of the incoming electromagnetic wave by the aircraft and it is generated by different scattering mechan...
Investigation of fatigue behaviour of external stores under fixed wing aircraft platforms during random vibration Okur, Emre; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) In this study, fatigue behaviour of an external store during captive carriage at the underwing and wingtip of a fixed wing aircraft platform is investigated. The F-16C jet aircraft was determined as a fixed wing aircraft platform in this thesis which is commonly used by Turkish Army. As the external store, a data measurement store (DMS) was designed to measure loads during captive carrage. While the DMS was being attached to the F-16C jet aircraft, it flew in 5 different sorties. Acceleration and strain dat...
Fatigue and fracture analysis of helicopter fuselage structures Özcan, Rıza; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) In this study a methodology is developed for the fatigue and fracture analysis of helicopter fuselage structures, which are considered as the stiffened panels. The damage tolerance behavior of the stiffened panels multiaxially loaded is investigated by implementing virtual crack closure technique (VCCT). Validation of VCCT is done through comparison between numerical analysis and the studies from literature, which consists of stiffened panels uniaxially loaded and the panel with an inclined crack. A program...
