Copyright © 2021 by ASME.Aerodynamic design of a forebody geometry has a significant effect on aircraft performance and stability. Although the studies conducted on aircraft performance so far, mostly, focus on optimization of wing-like structures, the contribution coming from an effective forebody design to the aircraft performance could be as high as the contribution coming from wing-like structures. A proper forebody design can reduce the wave drag and provide better lateral characteristics at high angles of attack. The reduced drag may enable the aircraft to achieve higher speeds and consume less fuel which eventually results in higher endurance and range to be achieved. On the other hand, achieving better lateral characteristics at high angles of attack may enable aircraft to withstand higher gust loads during take-off and landing phases. In addition to that, it may provide improved spin characteristics. In this paper, the forebody optimization of a jet trainer aircraft is studied. While doing so, two objectives are considered. Turbulent flow solutions are obtained with SU2. Response surface methodology is used as database generator and Pareto-optimal solutions are searched by using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II. The optimization study improves the aircraft performance in the aspects of the wave drag and the lateral stability.

FOREBODY OPTIMIZATION OF A JET TRAINER AIRCRAFT USING RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY WITH GENETIC ALGORITHM Kandemir , Ömer; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-9-1) The aerodynamic design of an aircraft's forebody geometry has a significant impact on its performance and stability. Although most studies on aircraft performance have focused on optimizing wing-like structures, the contribution of an effective forebody design to aircraft performance could be as significant as that of wing-like structures. A well-designed forebody can reduce the wave drag and improve the directional characteristics at high angles of attack. The forebody optimization of a jet trainer ai...
Aerodynamic parameter estimation using flight test data Kutluay, Ümit; Platin, Bülent Emre; Mahmutyazıcıoğlu, Gökmen; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) This doctoral study aims to develop a methodology for use in determining aerodynamic models and parameters from actual flight test data for different types of autonomous flight vehicles. The stepwise regression method and equation error method are utilized for the aerodynamic model identification and parameter estimation. A closed loop aerodynamic parameter estimation approach is also applied in this study which can be used to fine tune the model parameters. Genetic algorithm is used as the optimization ker...
Transonic airfoil design by constrained optimization Lee, K.D.; Eyi, Sinan (1991-01-01) An aerodynamic design method is developed which couples flow analysis and numerical optimization to find an airfoil shape with improved aerodynamic performance. The flow analysis code is based on the coupled Euler and boundary layer equations in order to include the rotational, viscous physics of transonic flows. The numerical optimization process searches for the best feasible design for the specified design objective and design constraints. The method is demonstrated with several examples at transonic flo...
Numerical and experimantal analysis of flapping motion Sarıgöl, Ebru; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2007) The aerodynamics of two-dimensional and three-dimensional flapping motion in hover is analyzed in incompressible, laminar flow at low Reynolds number regime. The aim of this study is to understand the physics and the underlying mechanisms of the flapping motion using both numerical tools (Direct Numerical Simulation) and experimental tools (Particle Image Velocimetry PIV technique). Numerical analyses cover both two-dimensional and three-dimensional configurations for different parameters using two differen...
