© 2022, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.The automatic differentiation tool, FDOT, is employed to perform sensitivity analyses on an in-house panel code. Sensitivity derivatives obtained are then used for aerodynamic shape optimization of airfoil profiles. A baseline airfoil is optimized with the panel code for the target lift and moment coefficients while minimizing the adverse pressure gradient on the airfoil. Airfoil profiles are parametrized by the Class Shape Transformation. Optimization is performed by a steepest descent algorithm, using a quasi-Newton method. Validation and case studies are presented. It is shown that the aerodynamic loads on the optimized airfoil profile based on the panel code agree well with the RANS solution. In addition, the design optimizations which include minimization of the adverse pressure gradient upstream of the mid-chord reduce the stall angle slightly and achieve mild stall characteristics as expected.

Adjoint Based Shape Optimization of an S-Shaped Duct with SU2 Kucuk, Umut Can; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2022-01-01) © 2022, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.In this study, an adjoint based aerodynamic shape optimization of an intake duct is performed for a set of objectives. The objectives include the minimization of total pressure loss, the minimization of total pressure loss constrained with the minimum mass flow rate and the maximization of mass flow rate. M2129 intake duct is taken as the baseline geometry. The Flow and the adjoint solutions are obtained with the open ...
Parametric design and investigation of grid fin aerodynamics in supersonic flow using computational fluid dynamics Dinçer, Erdem; Sezer Uzol, Nilay (2022-01-01) © 2022, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Recently, with the advances in modern missile industry, faster and more maneuverable missiles became fashionable. Designing fast and agile missiles requires efficient and strong control surfaces and grid fin is a candidate to fulfill this need. Grid fins are unconventional control surfaces, which has an outer frame supporting interior web structure. In this paper, “MICOM Grid Fin” wind tunnel experiments are used as th...
Aeroelastic Model Corrections of a Very Light Aircraft; Implications on Static Trim, Flutter and Gust Response Demirer, Halime Gül; Kayran, Altan (2022-01-01) © 2022, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.This paper discusses the aeroelastic model corrections employed in the static and dynamic aeroelastic analysis of a very light aircraft. MSC.FlightLoads and MSC.Nastran are used for aeroelastic modeling and analysis. Discussion covers improvement of the aerodynamic solution, aerodynamic modeling approaches and aero-structure coupling alternatives.

Experimental design and statistical modeling methodology for wind tunnel aerodynamics of an agile missile to improve the simulation accuracy and performance Savas, Ozgun; Topbas, Eren; Unal, Kenan; Karaca, H. Deniz; Kutay, Ali Türker (2018-01-01) © 2018, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Wind tunnel testing is an essential procedure to investigate the aerodynamics forces and moments. In this paper, a methodology is presented to perform such test in an efficient way. Experimental design process is carried out before the testing in order to cover the flight regime as much as possible with the least possible number of tests. After the determination of the test matrix and conducting the wind-on tests, the ...
Fully transient conjugate analysis of silica-phenolic charing ablation coupled with interior ballistics Alanyalıoğlu, Çetin Ozan; Özyörük, Yusuf (2019-01-01) © 2019, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Due to its excellent insulation capability, usage of silica-phenolic charring ablator as nozzle liner is a common practice in solid rocket motor industry. During the design of a solid rocket motor employing silica-phenolic as nozzle liner, it is desired to conduct an accurate analysis yielding in-depth thermal response and recession characteristics. As the interior ballistics and nozzle recession rate mutually interact...
