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...
Application of fully implicit coupled method for 2D incompressible flows on unstructured grids
Zengin, Şeyda; Tarman, Işık Hakan; Department of Engineering Sciences (2012)
In the subject of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), there seems to be small number of important progress in the pressure-based methods for several decades. Recent studies on the implicit coupled algorithms for pressure-based methods have brought a new insight. This method seems to provide a huge reduction in the solution times over segregated methods. Fully implicit coupled algorithm for pressure-based methods is very new subject with only few papers in literature. One of the most important work in this a...
MODELING OF NEWTONIAN FLUIDS IN ANNULAR GEOMETRIES WITH INNER PIPE ROTATION
Sorgun, Mehmet; Schubert, Jerome J.; Aydın, İsmail; Ozbayoglu, M. Evren (2010-08-05)
Flow in annular geometries, i.e., flow through the gap between two cylindrical pipes, occurs in many different engineering professions, such as petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, food engineering, etc. Analysis of the flow characteristics through annular geometries is more challenging when compared with circular pipes, not only due to the uneven stress distribution on the walls but also due to secondary flows and tangential velocity components, especially when the inner pip...
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...
Simulation of laminar microchannel flows with realistic 3D surface roughness
Akbaş, Batuhan; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Effects of flow development and surface roughness on the pressure drop characteristics of laminar liquid flowsinside microchannels are investigated numerically using OpenFOAM. Channels with square cross section of 500 μm×500 μmand length of 80 mm are studied. Top surface of the channels are artificially roughened using thespatial frequency methodto create 8 different roughness profiles. Scaling the relative roughness ({u1D700}) values of each profile to three different values (1.0, 2.5and5.0 %),a total of 2...
