Aerodynamic and flight dynamic interaction in spin

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 2019
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe an integrated approach to spin analysis based on 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) fully nonlinear equations of motion and a three-dimensional multigrid Euler method used to specify a flow model. Another purpose of this study is to investigate military trainer performance during a developed phase of a ...

Effect of a soccer ball’s seam geometry on its aerodynamics and trajectory

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part P: Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, 2020
Five different soccer balls, each possessing the traditional 32-panel surface design, were tested in a wind tunnel. Only seam depth and width varied between the balls.

Aerodynamic Data for Spinning Projectiles [PDF]

open access: possible, 1952
Abstract : This is a collection of the physical and aerodynamic data of spinning projectiles (excluding spin-stabilized rockets) which have been obtained experimentally in the U.S. during the past decade. Some theoretical and empirical formulas are included. The index classifies the projectiles according to their shape.

An Investigation of the Aerodynamic Performance of the Spin-Wing Concept [PDF]

open access: possible, 1998
Abstract : Unmanned air vehicles (UAV's) capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) are always of interest to the Navy. This paper examines the aerodynamic performance of a unique multi-mode aircraft concept called the spin-wing/stop rotor. The spin wing uses its wing and tail as a counter-rotating rotor system for hovering flight.

Interactional Aerodynamics between a Rotor and a Blade-Tip-Propeller through Wind Tunnel and Hover Stand Testing

Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 80th Annual Forum
A blade-tip-propeller driven rotor consists of small electric motors and propellers attached to the rotor blade tip to spin the main rotor. This study address a propeller driven shortcoming that was identified in previous research: a high required ...

Frequency Topology Optimization of Fan Blade Considering Stress Stiffening and Spin Softening

Volume 12D: Turbomachinery — Multidisciplinary Design Approaches, Optimization, and Uncertainty Quantification; Radial Turbomachinery Aerodynamics; Unsteady Flows in Turbomachinery
Fan blades are prone to failures due to dynamic loads and their optimal design ensures the stability of aircraft engines. Compared with the shape and parameter optimization, topology optimization design has a larger design space and frequency ...

Effect of transition on the aerodynamic characteristics of a spinning cone

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2017
In order to study the effect of transition on the aerodynamic characteristics of a pointed cone at small angles of attack in supersonic flows, the [Formula: see text] transition model, γ transition model, and a trip wire applied with [Formula: see text] transition model coupled with the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations were used to simulate ...
