Validation of depth-averaged mixing length turbulence model for uniform channel flows/
Karaman, Çağrı Hasan; Aydın, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
A one-dimensional depth averaged turbulence model based on volumetric mixing length definition is developed for shallow flows. Numerical solution of the model is done using finite volume method for steady, uniform closed duct flows to observe lateral momentum exchange over depth discontinuities. The model is verified by comparison to two-dimensional numerical solutions and to the experimental data available in the literature. The model is then applied to uniform free surface flows in rectangular and compoun...
The dual reciprocity boundary element solution of helmholtz-type equations in fluid dynamics
Alsoy Akgün, Nagehan; Tezer Sezgin, Münevver; Department of Mathematics (2013)
In this thesis, the two-dimensional, unsteady, laminar and incompressible fluid flow problems governed by partial differential equations are solved by using dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). First, the governing equations are transformed to the inhomogeneous modified Helmholtz equations, and then the fundamental solution of modified Helmholtz equation is used for obtaining boundary element method (BEM) formulation. Thus, all the terms in the equation except the modified Helmholtz operator ar...
The cognition of grammatical structures
Gitlin, Gloria (2010-02-08)
Students today have a need to express themselves. However, there are fewer and fewer students who can put their ideas on paper. Students are embarrassed by this development, and it affects their sense of self-worth. The purpose of the study was to find a method of instruction which would help students access their thoughts, discover their ideas, and convey them to others. The method used was one of associating grammatical structures to student cognitions. Over several years of observation of student perform...
Optimization of aeroelastic flapping motion of thin airfoils in a biplane configuration for maximum thrust
Kaya, Mustafa; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Jones, Kevin D.; Platzer, Max F. (2007-01-01)
An aeroelastic flapping motion of thin airfoils in a biplane configuration is optimized for maximum thrust. Airfoils are attached to swing arms by an elastic joint, which is model led by a torsional spring. A spring-mass system is employed for the aeroelastic coupling. The stiffness coefficient and the mass moment of inertia of the airfoil are optimized for maximum thrust. A gradient based optimization method is employed in a parallel computing environment. Unsteady, low speed flows are computed in parallel...
A comparative investigation of heat transfer capacity limits of heat pipes
Küçük, Sinan; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
Heat pipe is a passive two phase device capable of transferring large rates of heat with a minimal temperature drop. It is a sealed tube with a wick structure lined in it and with a working fluid inside the tube. It consists of three parts: an evaporator, a condenser and an adiabatic section. The heat pipes are widely used in electronics cooling and spacecraft applications. Although they can transfer large rate of heat in a short range, they have operating limits, namely: the capillary limit, the viscous li...
