Analytical solutions of shallow-water wave equations
Aydın, Baran; Kanoğlu, Utku; Department of Engineering Sciences (2011)
Analytical solutions for the linear and nonlinear shallow-water wave equations are developed for evolution and runup of tsunamis –long waves– over one- and two-dimensional bathymetries. In one-dimensional case, the nonlinear equations are solved for a plane beach using the hodograph transformation with eigenfunction expansion or integral transform methods under different initial conditions, i.e., earthquake-generated waves, wind set-down relaxation, and landslide-generated waves. In two-dimensional case, th...
Investigation of turbulence models used in automotive industry
Taştan, Umur; Çetinkaya, Tahsin Ali; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011)
In this study; reliability and performance of turbulence models used in CFD softwares to determine the aerodynamics of passenger cars, are tested and compared. In the analyses, drag forces acting on the car, pressure and velocity distributions and wake flow patterns are determined by using several turbulence models with a commercial software Fluent. Calculated results compared to the experimental results given in the literature. It is observed that, turbulence models give relatively reliable results for det...
Underwater gliders: modeling, control and simulation studies
Gören, Semih; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
This thesis includes mathematical model, navigation, controller design and guidance of the underwater gliders. Firstly, the mathematical model of the underwater glider is obtained with external forces and moments. The hydrodynamic coefficients are obtained by using the strip theory and Missile DATCOM Simulation Program. For navigation, optimal state estimator Kalman filter is implemented to find the position and the linear velocities of the underwater glider. The controllers are designed according to the li...
Optimization of ride comfort for vehicles equipped with passive and active hydro-pneumatic suspensions
Sağlam, Ferhat; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
The main objective of this study is the optimization of ride comfort performance of vehicles equipped with Hydro-Pneumatic (HP) suspension systems. In order to improve ride comfort performance together with handling behavior as a constraint, active-passive, and unconnected-interconnected HP suspension systems are included in the study. The basic HP suspension model is developed and validated by experiments. Various HP suspension systems of increasing complexity are modeled, and their dynamic characteristics...
Underwater channel modeling for sonar applications
Epçaçan, Erdal; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
Underwater acoustic channel models have been studied in the context of communication and sonar applications. Acoustic propagation channel in an underwater environment exhibits multipath, time-variability and Doppler e ects. In this thesis, multipath fading channel models, underwater physical properties and sound propagation characteristics are studied. An underwater channel model for sonar applications is proposed. In the proposed model, the physical characteristics of underwater environment are considered ...
