Fast and parametrical aerodynamic analyses for design of high speed jet aircraft is important especially during the initial design phases. In this study, different wing/body configurations defined with specific geometrical parameters for a jet aircraft are analyzed by using the panel method solver PANAIR. The analysis and design process is automated for the geometry and panel mesh generation and by using the Design of Experiment (DoE) methodology. The aerodynamic analysis and design study is performed for different flow conditions, i.e., ranges of Mach number and angle of attack, for given design requirements, starting from a representative fighter aircraft geometry similar to F-16. Various geometrical design parameters are selected and their effects on the aerodynamic performance are investigated through Response Surface Methodology.

Comparison of Various Spring Analogy Mesh Deformation Techniques in 2 D Airfoil Design Optimization
Yang, Yosheph; Özgen, Serkan (null, 2015-06-29)
During the last few decades, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) has developed greatly and has become a more reliable tool for the conceptual phase of aircraft design. This tool is generally combined with an optimization algorithm. In the optimization phase, the need for regenerating the computational mesh might become cumbersome, especially when the number of design parameters is high. For this reason, several mesh generation and deformation techniques have been developed in the past decades. One of the mos...
Conceptual design synthesis of fighter aircraft
Tokel, Mert; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the effects of initial engine scaling (using a competitor aircraft aerodynamic performance) on fighter aircraft conceptual design activities. A design synthesis including engine scaling, configuration development, fixed aircraft analysis, fixed wing aircraft sizing and optimization methodology has been developed. Engine data has been scaled to match the competitor aircraft drag performance at the supercruise requirement. Initial configuration design including the system ...
Numerical Modeling of Hypersonic Air and Carbon Dioxide Flows in Thermochemical Non-Equilibrium with SU2-NEMO Solver
Çelik, Mutlu; Uğur, Ömür; Eyi, Sinan (2022-06-23)
Modeling of hypersonic aerothermodynamics in non-equilibrium flow is a challenging problem of aircraft design. Especially, prediction of atmospheric reentry and other planet’s entry heat loads are significant for aerospace vehicle design engineers. Therefore, accurate calculation of heat flux of leading edges and nose tips are the main concerns of thermal design engineers. The present study aims to simulate hypersonic entry conditions of Mars and Earth for the Mars Pathfinder experimental capsule with using...
Development of bolted flange design tool based on finite element analysis and artificial neural network
Yıldırım, Alper; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015)
In bolted flange connections, commonly utilized in aircraft engine designs, structural integrity and minimization of the weight are achieved by the optimum combination of the design parameters utilizing the outcome of many structural analyses. Bolt size, number of bolts, bolt locations, casing thickness, flange thickness, bolt preload, and axial external force are some of the critical design parameters in bolted flange connections. Theoretical analysis and finite element analysis (FEA) are two main approach...
