Many modern turbomachines, especially turbofans and turbojets used in modern aircraft, contain many rotor-stator stages. The rotor stator rows of a typical modern aircraft engine are between 2 to 20 for fan-compressor part and between 2 to 7 for the turbine. Unsteady CFD analyses of rotor-stator systems are generally performed with minimal time steps due to the high relative speed of the rows. These CFD analyses should be performed for at least two complete rotations of the rows to achieve reasonable convergence. Runs may last for months, yet simulations can only cover a fraction of design conditions. During this study, an advanced CFD code for rotor-stator problems is developed. The solution strategy consists of two stages. In the first step, independent steady solutions for each row are obtained. This step is followed by a harmonic solution, where the perturbation effects are solved in the frequency domain. To achieve the unsteady behavior of the rotor-stator flow, the solution of perturbation effects on the frequency domain is converted to the time domain and consolidated with the steady answer. For this purpose, we have developed a novel Linearized Harmonic solution approach. The formulation is based on Flux Vector Splitting methodology. The new algorithm is tested rigorously. During this study, flowPsi, as an open-source CFD code, has been used and modified. The new harmonic solver is added and coupled with the steady solver. Unsteady solutions are calculated by both time-accurate and harmonic solvers. The solution accuracy of the new harmonic solver is acceptable. The main improvement is gained at the solution speed, where the solutions are obtained two to three orders of magnitude faster than the time-accurate solutions.

DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK BASED DESIGN TOOL FOR AIRCRAFT ENGINE BOLTED FLANGE CONNECTION SUBJECT TO COMBINED AXIAL AND MOMENT LOAD
Sanli, T. Volkan; Gürses, Ercan; Çöker, Demirkan; Kayran, Altan (2017-11-09)
Bolted flange connections are one of the most commonly used joint types in aircraft structures. Typically, bolted flange connections are used in aircraft engines. The main duty of a bolted flange connection in an aircraft engine is to serve as the load transfer interface from one part of the engine to the other part of the engine. In aircraft structures, weight is a very critical parameter which has to be minimized while having the required margin of safety for the structural integrity. Therefore, optimum d...
Development of Structural Neural Network Design Tool for Buckling Behaviour of Skin-Stringer Structures Under Combined Compression and Shear Loading
Okul, Aydın; Gürses, Ercan (2018-11-15)
Stiffened panels are commonly used in aircraft structures in order to resist high compression and shear forces with minimum total weight. Minimization of the weight is obtained by combining the optimum design parameters. The panel length, the stringer spacing, the skin thickness, the stringer section type and the stringer dimensions are some of the critical parameters which affect the global buckling allowable of the stiffened panel. The aim of this study is to develop a design tool and carry out a geometri...
Design and evaluation of a helicopter main rotor electrohydraulic control system
Düzağaç, Hasan Ali; Çalışkan, Hakan; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8-26)
Helicopters are widely used aircrafts for several purposes. Main Rotor of a Helicopter creates necessary flight forces for performing flight operation. Orientation of a Helicopter Rotor System is determined and controlled manually by pilot and automatically by automatic control system via hydraulically operated flight control actuators. In this research, a novel electrohydraulically operated helicopter main rotor control system is mathematically designed and developed to improve overall performance of contr...
Simulation of the Transient Response of a Helicopter Turboshaft Engine to Hot-Gas Ingestion
Uzol, Oğuz; Yavrucuk, İlkay (2008-06-09)
Hot-Gas Ingestion (HGI) to the engines can potentially occur when a rotorcraft or a VTOL/STOVL fixed-wing aircraft is operating in close proximity to the ground. Especially for helicopters, due to the rotor downwash hot exhaust gases get recirculated into the engine inlet. Similar conditions may also occur due to the ingestion of hot exhaust gases from rocket launchers or gun fire. In this study, we present the results of a simulation of the transient response of a helicopter turboshaft engine to HGI. Speci...
Modeling of the dynamic delamination of L-shaped unidirectional laminated composites
Gozluklu, Burak; Çöker, Demirkan (2012-03-01)
One of the widely used geometrically complex parts in advanced commercial aircraft is the L-shaped composite. Due to the sharp curved geometry, interlaminar opening stresses are induced and delamination occurs under considerable mode-mixities in L-shaped beams. Dynamic phenomena during delamination initiation and propagation of L-shaped beams are investigated using dynamic (explicit) finite element analysis in conjunction with cohesive zone methods. The 2-D model consists of 24 plies of unidirectional CFRP ...
