  • Numerical study under single-injection on bi-swirl coaxial injectors with different recess lengths was performed using ANSYS Fluent. The bi-swirl coaxial injectors which consisted of inner closed-type and outer open-type swirl injectors, had three different recess lengths. By changing mass flow rates, numerical simulation was repeated using the Reynolds stress BSL turbulent model. The numerical results such as discharge coefficient and spray angle were compared with previous experimental data and were found to be approximately matched well with them, irrespective of recess length. Quantitative data which was hard to be measured from experiments, were successfully obtained through the present numerical study.

  • The Airship which uses light gases(Helium) can afford to be managed safely, and economically. In this paper, it executed Airship aerodynamic design using Theory of the Airship shape. With the change of main design factor, aerodynamic coefficients were investigated by FLUENT and the shape of the Airship which has low drag was chosen. For low drag coefficient of the Airship, the theory of traditional Airship shape was used. The structural analysis of the Airship is executed by ANSYS.

  • Recently, the aviation industry has sought to reduce its carbon usage in aircraft operations. Specifically, the industry is proceeding with the development of ultra-large turbofan engines and the development of hybrid electric engines to reduce the fuel consumption of aircraft. In one case, Airbus is developing as its future goal an aircraft with a short take-off distance that uses a catapult. In this study, when a b747-400 aircraft with two of the four engines removed was tested using a catapult, its fuel consumption was compared with that of the original aircraft. Fuel consumption was calculated using the mass flow consumption formula. Further, the aircraft L/D ratio caused by engine removal was interpreted using the CFD Tool, Ansys Fluent. The results showed that the lift ratio was improved by about 7% and that the fuel efficiency was improved by about 14%.

  • The exhaust nozzle serves back pressure of Pulse detonation combustor, so combustion chamber gets sufficient pressure for propulsion. In this context recent researches are focused on influence of nozzle effect on single cycle detonation wave propagation and propulsion performance of PDE. The effects of various nozzles like convergent-divergent nozzle, convergent nozzle, divergent nozzle and without nozzle at exit section of detonation tubes were computationally investigated to seek the desired propulsion performance. Further the effect of divergent nozzle length and half angle on detonation wave structure was analyzed. The simulations have been done using Ansys 14 Fluent platform. The LES turbulence model was used to simulate the combustion wave reacting flows in combustor with standard wall function. From these numerical simulations among four acquaint nozzles the highest thrust augmentation could be attained in divergent nozzle geometry and detonation wave propagation velocity eventually reaches to 1830 m/s, which is near about C-J velocity. Smaller the divergent nozzle half angle has a significant effect on faster detonation wave propagation.

  • In this study, we have focused on commonly used 14 different small wind turbine airfoils (A18, BW3, Clark Y, E387, FX77, NACA 2414, RG 15, S822, S823, S6062, S7012, SD6060, SD7032, SD7062). The main purpose of the study is to determine the lift, drag and lift/drag coefficients of these airfoils with numerical analysis and to verify 2 best airfoil's results with experimental analysis. Airfoils were determined from past studies on small wind turbines. Numerical analyzes of the airfoils were done with Ansys Fluent fluid dynamics program. Experimental analyzes were done at wind tunnel in Erciyes University, Turkey. Lift and drag coefficients of these airfoils were determined for 50,000-100,000-200,000 Reynolds numbers.

  • Flow uniformity in aftertreatment system is an important factor in determining uniform catalytic reaction and filtration. In this study, variety types of DOC-DPF system design were analyzed to increase flow uniformity. For this analysis, ANSYS Fluent was used with porous media setup for DOC and DPF. Turbulent flow was modeled by standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model excepting porous media. Uniformity index was utilized to evaluate the flow uniformity quantitatively. Reference design showed low velocity region because two large vortex were generated before baffle. When radius of DOC-DPF system was increased, exhaust pressure acting on the inlet decreases and velocity distribution was shifted to one side. When inlet pipe was set to axial center of DOC-DPF system velocity distribution was symmetric. However, flow was not dissipated until the front end of DOC and showed higher uniformity index. When the volume of DOC was reduced while fixed volume of entire DOC-DPF system and baffle plate is located downstream of the DOC-DPF system, there was improvement in uniformity index.

  • This work deals with designing the aircraft wing and simulating the flow behavior on it to determine the aerodynamically efficient wing design. A NACA 4412 airfoil is used to design the base wing model. A wing with a rectangular planform and the one with curved leading edge planform was designed such that their surface areas are the same. Then, a comprehensive flow analysis is carried out at various velocities and angle of attacks using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the results were interpreted and compared with the experimental values. This study shows that there is a significant improvement in the aerodynamic performance of the curved leading edge wing over the wing with rectangular planform.
