A simple low-order model is derived to determine the flow forces and moments on an airfoil that arbitrarily pitches and plunges with the presence of synthetic jet actuation for the use in an adaptive closed-loop control scheme. The low-order model captures the attached flow response of an airfoil in the presence of synthetic jet actuators near the trailing edge. The model includes two explicit non-linear states for fluid variables and can be easily coupled to the rigid body dynamics of the system. The model is validated with high fidelity numerical simulations and experiments. The low-order model agreement with experiments is good for low reduced frequency pitching. The agreement to numerical simulations is also good for reduced frequencies that are an order of magnitude higher than those attainable in experiments.

Prediction of torque and inductance displacement characteristics of asymmetrically slotted variable-reluctance motors using a simplified model for numerical field solution
Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (1999-09-01)
For prediction of static and dynamic performance of doubly-salient motors, it is essential to know their flux linkage-position-excitation characteristics and also the static torque characteristics. At the design stage determination of these characteristics presents difficulties because of highly nonlinear behavior of the magnetic circuit. It is possible to use numerical field solution of the complete motor to obtain this information. This, however, requires expertise on a professional program and may be exp...
Analysis and design of a novel reciprocating compressor utilizing a minfas-tar mechanism(s)
Ercan, Abdulkadir; Soylu, Reşit; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-1-26)
Similar to the slider crank mechanism that is utilized in a conventional reciprocating compressor, the MinFaS-TaR (Minimum Friction and Shaking – Translation to any Rotation) mechanism may also be used to convert a rotational motion into a translational motion. In the MinFaS-TaR mechanism, the translational and rotational motions can be related to each other in any desired manner. Furthermore, it has favourable dynamic properties. In this study, the piston motion function, , or the chamber pressure function...
Implementation of turbulence models into a Navier-Stokes solver
Muşta, Mustafa Nail; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004)
In order to handle turbulent flow problems, one equation turbulence models are implemented in to a previously developed explicit, Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes solver. Discretization of Navier-Stokes solver is based on cell-vertex finite volume formulation combined with single step Lax-Wendroff numerical method which is second order accurate in space. Turbulent viscosity is calculated by using one equation Spalart-Allmaras and Baldwin-Barth turbulence transport equations. For the discretization of Spalart...
Evaluation of a 6 pole axial flux PM motor for Control Moment Gyroscope Application
Zeinali, Raza; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2015-09-04)
In a previous study a compact Control Moment Gyroscope (GMC) design, based on a 6-pole, axial flux (AF) motor was presented. The GMC design in that proposal was based on analytical expressions and naturally 3-D structure of the AF motor could not be fully taken into account. In this paper the designed motor is simulated using 3-D FEM solutions. The parameters of the design such as electric loading and current loading as well as the performance of the design such as phase current and the torque produced at 1...
VERIFICATION OF A FINITE ELEMENT MODEL OF AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE WING TORQUE BOX VIA EXPERIMENTAL MODAL TESTING
Unlusoy, Levent; Şahin, Melin; Yaman, Yavuz (2012-07-04)
In this study, the detailed finite element model (FEM) of an unmanned aerial vehicle wing torque box was verified by the experimental modal testing. During the computational studies the free-free boundary conditions were used and the natural frequencies and mode-shapes of the structure were obtained by using the MSC Software. The results were then compared with the experimentally obtained resonance frequencies and mode-shapes. It was observed that the frequencies were in close agreement having an error with...
