Analysis Of 30°-90° Blended Winglet Additions To Cessna 172, Piper Malibu, And Boeing 737 Wings, John Crowe, Fernando Ramos Jan 2021

Analysis Of 30°-90° Blended Winglet Additions To Cessna 172, Piper Malibu, And Boeing 737 Wings, John Crowe, Fernando Ramos

NSF REU: Propulsion, Aerodynamics, and Controls of Aerial Vehicles

The objective of this research is to determine the effect of different cant angle winglet additions to multiple types of aircraft throughout various angles of attack. The winglet design to be studied is the blended winglet. Its cant angle is altered to be 30, 60, and 90 degrees. Three different wings were chosen to be modeled and simulated, each with different geometry to attempt to encompass a wide range of wing types. The three wings were a rectangular wing, a tapered wing, and a swept wing. Those models are represented by the Cessna 172, Piper PA-46, and the Boeing 737-300, …

Fluid Dynamic Analysis Over Turbulent Flows, Bryce Mcguire, Tevin James, Dareon Medley

NSF REU: Propulsion, Aerodynamics, and Controls of Aerial Vehicles

The purpose of this research is to run CFDs (Computational Fluid Dynamics) with several type of objects that consist of the following: 90-Degree Pipe, Combustors, Scramjets, Scramjets with Fuel Injectors, and Airfoils. The sole reasoning is to get a clear understanding of the mechanisms that are ran through by using the computational software called: ANSYS. With this, it will aid into running fluid flows through these objects to observe the desirable variables such as: Velocity, Temperature, Pressure, Total Pressure, Total Temperature, Eddy Viscosity, Turbulence Kinetic Energy, Turbulence Eddy Dissipation, etc.
