An aerodynamic model in order to simulate and control the flapping-wing micro air vehicle based on the quasi-steady approach and blade element theory is developed to calculate the instantaneous aerodynamic forces and moments. The system dynamics of a 2-D flapping-wing MAV in hover mode are modeled. Control simulations are done for hover, take-off, forward flight and landing conditions. Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and Coefficient Diagram Method (CDM) are used to stabilize the flapping-wing system. The effectiveness of the controllers are compared in the means of disturbance rejection, response speed, and controller response. By using the stroke plane angle and the flapping frequency as the control inputs, six state variables of the system are stabilized. Position commands are tracked with an integral tracker at low-speed flights.

ESTIMATION OF AERODYNAMIC LOADS OF A PROPELLER THROUGH IMPROVED BLADE ELEMENT AND MOMENTUM THEORY AND PROPELLER DESIGN OPTIMIZATION KAYA, DERYA; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-6) This study focuses on accurate prediction of total forces and moments acting on a propeller in all flight conditions through Blade Element and Momentum Theory (BEMT) and design optimization of a UAV propeller. Under various flight conditions such as hover, vertical climb, and forward flight, propeller generates different aerodynamic loads in different free-stream velocities, propeller disk angles of attack, and propeller’s angular speeds. For this reason, it is important to have a mathematical model that p...
Investigation of missiles with strake fins and reduction of aerodynamic cross coupling effects by optimization Usta, Engin; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015) Missiles with very low aspect ratio fins (also called strakes) are generally difficult to model by using engineering level aerodynamic methods and linear theories break due to complex nature of the flow adjacent to the mutual interference of the body and fin. Since fast prediction methods cannot accurately model vortex development along and downstream of very low aspect ratio fins, they have limited success for application to missiles with strake fins. Moreover, there is limited number of CFD studies for in...
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...
Modeling and experimental identification of quadrotor aerodynamics Kaya, D. Derya; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) The aim of this study is to obtain mathematical models for aerodynamic forces and moments of rotors of a quadrotor helicopter, and estimate their parameters through wind tunnel tests for hover, vertical climb, and forward flight conditions. The main factors which determine the movement of a quadrotor UAV are the aerodynamic forces and moments in three axes created by four rotors of the vehicle. Hence, accurate calculation of rotor forces and moments in varying flight conditions are essential to establish a ...
Nonlinear modeling and flight control system design of an unmanned aerial vehicle Karakaş, Deniz; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) The nonlinear simulation model of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in MATLAB®/Simulink® environment is developed by taking into consideration all the possible major system components such as actuators, gravity, engine, atmosphere, wind-turbulence models, as well as the aerodynamics components in the 6 DOF equations of motion. Trim and linearization of the developed nonlinear model are accomplished and various related analyses are carried out. The model is validated by comparing with a similar UAV data in te...
