Steady and unsteady flowfields around an airfoil are simulated numerically using a compressible Navier-Stokes solver and a potential flow panel code interactively. 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 the 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 method confines the computations to a close proximity of an airfoil. For steady flow solutions, the computational domain may be confined to a region which extends less than 20% chord length away from the air foil surface. Computed flowfields 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 method is about 40% more efficient computationally.

Servo systems control the rotation angle or displacement of the machinery in order to follow reference input commands within required error limits. A typical servo system includes rotating or translating inertia, coupler elements, driver motor and feedback sensor. Mechanical characteristics of a servo system have considerable importance as to satisfy desired performance of the system. In this thesis, a practical method to monitor mechanical characteristics of a servo drive is suggested. Invariance of system...
Fluid structure coupled analysis of an aerodynamic surface
Sümer, Bülent; Akgün, Mehmet A.; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2004)
In this thesis a 3-D Euler flow solver is coupled with a finite element program in order to solve static aeroelastic problems involving aircraft wings. A loosely coupled solution approach based on an iterative solution procedure is used to solve the coupled field problem. Because of the deformation of the underlying surface over which the flow is solved, Computational Fluid Dynamics mesh has to move at each computational aeroelastic iteration in order to comform to the new shape of the aerodynamic surface. ...
Distance-based discretization of parametric signal manifolds
Vural, Elif (2010-06-28)
The characterization of signals and images in manifolds often lead to efficient dimensionality reduction algorithms based on manifold distance computation for analysis or classification tasks. We propose in this paper a method for the discretization of signal manifolds given in a parametric form. We present an iterative algorithm for the selection of samples on the manifold that permits to minimize the average error in the manifold distance computation. Experimental results with image appearance manifolds d...

In the frame of this thesis, a Matlab® based design tool utilizing a general purpose optimal control solver GPOPS-II® was developed for the optimization of ascent trajectories of multistage launch vehicles. This tool can be utilized both for preliminary mission design of an existing launch vehicle and conceptual design of a new launch vehicle. In the preliminary mission design of an existing launch vehicle, maximizing payload mass is a very common performance measure. Therefore, a trajectory optimization co...
Time-Space Adaptive Method of Time Layers for the Advective Allen-Cahn Equation
UZUNCA, MURAT; Karasözen, Bülent; Sariaydin-Filibelioglu, Ayse (2015-09-18)
We develop an adaptive method of time layers with a linearly implicit Rosenbrock method as time integrator and symmetric interior penalty Galerkin method for space discretization for the advective Allen-Cahn equation with nondivergence-free velocity fields. Numerical simulations for convection dominated problems demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the adaptive algorithm for resolving the sharp layers occurring in interface problems with small surface tension.
