Unsteady, Transonic Flow Around Delta Wings Undergoing Coupled And Natural Modes Response: A Multidisciplinary Problem, Margaret Anne Menzies
Unsteady, Transonic Flow Around Delta Wings Undergoing Coupled And Natural Modes Response: A Multidisciplinary Problem, Margaret Anne Menzies
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The unsteady, three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the Euler equations of rigid-body dynamics are sequentially solved to simulate and analyze the aerodynamic response of a high angle of attack delta wing undergoing oscillatory motion. The governing equations of fluid flow and dynamics of the multidisciplinary problem are solved using a time-accurate solution of the laminar, unsteady, compressible, full Navier-Stokes equations with the implicit, upwind, Roe flux-difference splitting, finite-volume scheme and a four-state Runge-Kutta scheme, respectively. The primary model under consideration consists of a 65° swept, sharp-edged, cropped delta wing of zero thickness at 20° angle of attack. In a freestream …
Unsteady Transonic Flow Over Slender Bodies, Cevdet Aydun
Unsteady Transonic Flow Over Slender Bodies, Cevdet Aydun
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The unsteady transonic small disturbance equation for an oscillating slender body is obtained from the full potential equation in cylindrical coordinates by means of a perturbation analysis. The time-dependent body-boundary condition is reduced into a simpler form by matching the outer and inner flows. Also, a time-dependent pressure coefficient over the slender body is derived by means of a matching principle. The simplified form of the body-boundary condition is incorporated into the difference equations at the body axis. This application allows use of the cylindrical coordinate system for the problem. By prescribing several different body-boundary conditions, various modes of body …
