In this paper, the aerodynamic properties of a selected aircraft geometry are calculated in supersonic flow condition using PANAIR. PANAIR is an open-source high-order panel method solver for irrotational and inviscid flows and it is more efficient than higher fidelity CFD analyses for the preliminary design process since it is faster and easier to use. A batch of supersonic analyses is completed for different wing/body configurations for the selected aircraft geometry and with various panel grids, and the results are compared with the experimental data. Different wing planforms and nose configurations are also considered separately to observe the effect of geometry to the prediction accuracy of PANAIR. Moreover, a Class-Shape Transformation (CST) code is also developed to create wing and nose geometries together with the surface panel mesh with parametrization. In addition, SU2 and DATCOM software are used to compare the computational results.

Aerodynamic parameter estimation of a supersonic missile with rapid speed variation by using kalman filtering Bayoğlu, Tuğba; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016) This study aims to develop an approach for the aerodynamic parameter estimation problem for supersonic air to air missile with rapid speed variation, as well as large variation of aerodynamic parameters with respect to Mach number. In literature, most of the estimation techniques require that estimator is time independent. Therefore, most of the aerodynamic parameter estimation methods are applied for air vehicles which have control over their speed or which can operate at relatively constant Mach number so...
Trajectory computation of small solid particles released and carried by flowfields of helicopters in forward flight Pekel, Yusuf Okan; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010) In this thesis, trajectory computations of chaff particles ejected from a medium weight utility helicopter are performed using computational fluid dynamics. Since these chaff particles are ejected from a helicopter and carried by its flow field, it is necessary to compute and include the effects of the helicopter flow field in general and engine hot gases, main and tail rotor wakes in particular. The commercial code FLUENT is used for flow field and trajectory computations. Both main rotor and tail rotor ar...
Numerical investigations of lateral jets for missile aerodynamics Ağsarlıoğlu, Ekin; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this thesis, effects of sonic lateral jets on aerodynamics of missiles and missilelike geometries are investigated numerically by commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT. The study consists of two parts. In the first part, two generic missile-like geometries with lateral jets, of which experimental data are available in literature, are analyzed by the software for validation studies. As the result of this study, experimental data and CFD results are in good agreement with each other...
Aerodynamic analysis of flatback airfoils using vortex particle method Haser, Senem Ayşe; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) In this thesis, aerodynamic analysis of flatback airfoils, which have been proposed and investigated to improve the aerodynamic performance of thick airfoils, is studied. Vortex particle method, which is commonly used for simulation of two dimensional, incompressible, viscous flows, is used for this purpose. In the content of this thesis, vortex particle method code developed by Kaya [1] is improved by changing method of diffusion and method of vorticity releasing from solid boundary. Deterministic Particle...
Aerodynamic optimization of horizontal axis wind turbine blades by using CST method, BEM theory and genetic algorithm Oğuz, Keriman; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) In this thesis, an aerodynamic design and optimization study for rotor airfoils and blades of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) is performed by using different airfoil representations and genetic algorithm. Two airfoil representations, the Class-Shape Transformation (CST) method and the Parametric Section (PARSEC) method, are used for the airfoil geometry designs. Their aerodynamic data is obtained by a potential flow solver software, XFOIL. The Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory is used to calculate t...
