Multiple Cooling Multi Objective Simulated Annealing algorithm has been combined with a conceptual design code written by the author to carry out a multi objective design optimization of an Agricultural Aerial Robot. Both the single and the multi objective optimization problems are solved. The performance figures of merits for different aircraft configurations are compared. In this thesis the potential of optimization as a powerful design tool to the aerospace problems is demonstrated.

Error analysis for the numerical evaluation of the diagonal forms of the scalar spherical addition theorem Koc, S; Song, JM; Chew, WC (Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM), 1999-04-29) The numerical solution of wave scattering from large objects or from a large cluster of scatterers requires excessive computational resources and it becomes necessary to use approximate-but fast-methods such as the fast multipole method; however, since these methods are only approximate, it is important to have an estimate for the error introduced in such calculations. An analysis of the error for the fast multipole method is presented and estimates for truncation and numerical integration errors are obtain...
Computational modeling of cardiac electrophysiology: A novel finite element approach Göktepe, Serdar (Wiley, 2009-07-09) The key objective of this work is the design of an unconditionally stable, robust, efficient, modular, and easily expandable finite element-based simulation tool for cardiac electrophysiology. In contrast to existing formulations, we propose a global-local split of the system of equations in which the global variable is the fast action potential that is introduced as a nodal degree of freedom, whereas the local variable is the slow recovery variable introduced as an internal variable on the integration poin...
Parallel, navier-stokes computation of the flowfield of a hovering helicopter rotor Geçgel, Murat; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2003) The aim of this study is to extend a parallel Fortran90 code to compute three6dimensional laminar and turbulent flowfields over rotary wing configurations. The code employs finite volume discretization and the compact, four step Runge-Kutta type time integration technique to solve unsteady, thin6layer Navier6Stokes equations. Zero6order Baldwin6Lomax turbulence model is utilized to model the turbulence for the computation of turbulent flowfields. A fine, viscous, H type structured grid is employed in the co...
Two dimensional finite volume weighted essentially non-oscillatory euler schemes with uniform and non-uniform grid coefficients Elfarra, Monier Ali; Akmandor, İbrahim Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005) In this thesis, Finite Volume Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (FV-WENO) codes for one and two-dimensional discretised Euler equations are developed. The construction and application of the FV-WENO scheme and codes will be described. Also the effects of the grid coefficients as well as the effect of the Gaussian Quadrature on the solution have been tested and discussed. WENO schemes are high order accurate schemes designed for problems with piecewise smooth solutions containing discontinuities. The key ...
Unstructured grid generation and a simple triangulation algorithm for arbitrary 2-D geometries using object oriented programming Karamete, BK; Tokdemir, Turgut; Ger, M (Wiley, 1997-01-30) This paper describes the logic of a dynamic algorithm for a general 2D Delaunay triangulation of arbitrarily prescribed interior and boundary nodes. The complexity of the geometry is completely arbitrary. The scheme is free of specific restrictions on the input of the geometrical data. The scheme generates triangles whose associated circumcircles contain 'no nodal points except their vertices. There is no predefined limit for the number of points and the boundaries. The direction of generation of the triang...
