Effects of Various Design Parameters on the Performance of a Cruise Missile Wing

2019-09-18
The design of a cruise missile wing is a multidisciplinary work because the wing has to provide enough aerodynamic forces while being structurally in safe. Various parameters of the wing are investigated during the design phase in order to meet the design goals and achieve a successful design. In this paper, the effects of different parameters on the lift force and flutter speed of a cruise missile wing are presented. The aerodynamic analyses for predicting the lift force are performed by using FLUENT and the aeroelastic analyses for the determination of the flutter speed are conducted by using ZAERO.

Ertürk, Burak; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
The design of a cruise missile wing is a multidisciplinary work since the wing has to provide enough aerodynamic forces while being structurally safe. Furthermore, the wing needs to satisfy other considerations such as propulsion, weight, flight performance, sizing for launch platform integration and other measures of merit. In order to meet these design requirements and achieve a successful design, several parameters of the wing need to be investigated at various flight conditions. In this thesis, aeroelas...

Effect of ground on flow structure of non-slender delta and reverse delta wings
Koçak, Göktuğ; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2023-1-26)
Flight condition of aircrafts proximity to the ground, so-called “Ground Effect” (GE), is among one of the most recent research areas since the aerodynamic performance and stability of wing in ground effect (WIG) crafts significantly vary due to the flow dynamics associated with the interaction between the wing and the surface. In the present study, ground effect of non-slender delta wings (DW) and reversed delta wings (RDW) at static ground effect (SGE) condition in the absence of heave and pitch motion w...
Effect of thickness-to-chord ratio on aerodynamics of non-slender delta wing
Sharifi Ghazijahani, Mohammad; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
Flow characterization over delta wings have gained attention in recent decades due to their prevailing usage in designs of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). In literature,only a few studies have reported wing thickness effect on both the aerodynamic performance and detailed flow structure over delta wings. In the present investigation, the effect of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on aerodynamics of a non-slender delta wing with 45 degree sweep angle is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using laser illumi...
Effect of wing deformation on aerodynamic loads at supersonic speeds
Özkökdemir, Emir; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (null; 2017-09-22)
Aerodynamic performance of wings is directly related to the flow characteristics and the wing geometry. The change in the wing geometry by external loads such as the temperature gradient formed by aerodynamic heating and the pressure distribution on wing surfaces affect the flow characteristics around the wing. In addition, the change in the flow characteristics affects the structural and the thermal loading on the wing. Therefore, aerodynamic performance for undeformed wing has not the same performance as ...
