Yılmaz, Burak
A numerical solution algorithm based on finite volume method is developed for unsteady, two-dimensional, depth-averaged shallow water flow equations. The model is verified using test cases from the literature and free surface data obtained from measurements in a laboratory flume. Experiments are carried out in a horizontal, rectangular channel with vertical solid boxes attached on the sidewalls to obtain freesurface data set in flows where three-dimensionality is significant. Experimental data contain both subcritical and supercritical states. The shallow water equations are solved on a structured, rectangular grid system. Godunov type solution procedure evaluates the interface fluxes using an upwind method with an exact Riemann solver. The numerical solution reproduces analytical solutions for the test cases successfully. Comparison of the numerical results with the experimental two-dimensional free surface data is used to illustrate the limitations of the shallow water equations and improvements necessary for better simulation of such cases.

Measurement of the t(t)over-bar production cross section using events in the e mu final state in pp collisions at root s=13 TeV
Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (2017-03-01)
The cross section of top quark-antiquark pair production in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV is measured by the CMS experiment at the LHC, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb(-1). The measurement is performed by analyzing events in which the final state includes one electron, one muon, and two or more jets, at least one of which is identified as originating from hadronization of a b quark. The measured cross section is 815 +/- 9 (stat) +/- 38 (syst) +/- 19 (lumi) pb, in...
Development of discontinuous galerkin method 2 dimensional flow solver
Güngör, Osman; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
In this work, 2 dimensional flow solutions of Euler equations are presented from the developed discontinuous Galerkin method finite element method (DGFEM) solver on unstructured grids. Euler equations govern the inviscid and adiabatic flows with a set of hyperbolic equations. The discretization of governing equations for DGFEM is given in detail. The DGFEM discretization provides high order solutions on an element-compact stencil hence only elements having common boundary are coupled. The required elementwise ...
Computation of multi-passage cascade flows with overset and deforming grids
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (null; 1997-12-01)
An overset grid method is applied to the solution of single and multi-passage cascade flows with a compressible Navier-Stokes solver. C-type grids around individual blades are overset onto a Cartesian background grid. Overset grids are allowed to move in time relative to each other as prescribed by the oscillatory plunging motion. The overset grid method uses a simple, robust numerical algorithm to localize moving boundary points and to interpolate solution variables across intergrid boundaries. Computation...
Solution of Volume Integral Equations with Novel Treatment to Strongly Singular Integrals
Selcuk, Gokhun; Kurt, Sinan; Koç, Seyit Sencer (2015-05-17)
Locally corrected Nystrom (LCN) method is applied for the solution of volume integral equations (VIEs). Unlike the conventional method of moments (MoM) procedure, LCN method does not use divergence conforming basis and testing functions to reduce the order of singularity of the integrand. Therefore LCN method needs to handle kernels with higher order singularities. For VIEs, worst singularity is due to the double derivative operator acting on free space Green's function and resulting integrals are referred ...
Implicit lattice boltzmann method for laminar/turbulent flows
Çevik, Fatih; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
Lattice Boltzmann Method is an alternative computational method for fluid physics problems. The development of the method started in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Various numerical schemes like stream and collide, finite difference, finite element and finite volume schemes are used to solve the discrete Lattice Boltzmann Equation. Almost all of the numerical schemes in the literature are explicit schemes to exploit the natural features of the discrete Lattice Boltzmann Equation like parallelism and easy c...
