A method to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible viscous flows is proposed. This method is SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm to iteratively solve the two-dimensional laminar steady momentum equations and based upon finite volume method on staggered grids. Numerical tests are performed on several cases of the flow in the lid-driven cavity, as well as of the flow after a backward-facing step with SIMPLE and SIMPLER (SIMPLE Revised) methods. Finally, results are compared qualitatively and quantitatively with numerical and experimental results available in the literature for different Reynolds numbers to validate the methods.

Improved analytical approximation to arbitrary l-state solutions of the Schrodinger equation for the hyperbolical potentials IKHDAİR, SAMEER; Sever, Ramazan (Wiley, 2009-10-01) The Schrodinger equation for the rotational-vibrational (ro-vibrational) motion of a diatomic molecule with empirical potential functions is solved approximately by means of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The approximate energy spectra and the corresponding normalized total wavefunctions are calculated in closed form and expressed in terms of the hypergeometric functions or Jacobi polynomials P-n((mu,nu)) (x), where mu > -1, nu > -1 and x is an element of[-1, +1]. The s-waves analytic solution is obtained. Th...
Implementation of the Equivalence Principle Algorithm for Potential Integral Equations Farshkaran, Ali; Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-05-01) A novel implementation of the equivalence principle algorithm (EPA) employing potential integral equations (PIEs) is presented. EPA is generalized to be compatible with PIEs that are used to formulate inner problems inside equivalence surfaces. Based on the stability of PIEs, the resulting EPA-PIE implementation is suitable for low-frequency problems involving dense discretizations with respect to wavelength. Along with the formulation and a clear demonstration of the EPA-PIE mechanism, high accuracy, stabi...
Comparative study of yield-power law drilling fluids flowing through annulus Ozbayoglu, M. E.; Omurlu, C. (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) An exact solution for calculating the frictional pressure losses of yield-power law (YPL) fluids flowing through concentric annulus is proposed. A solution methodology is presented for determining the friction factor for laminar and nonlaminar flow regimes. The performance of the proposed model is compared to widely used models as well as the experimental results of 10 different mud samples obtained from the literature. The results showed that the proposed model could estimate the frictional pressure losses...
Improving the accuracy of the surface integral equations for low-contrast dielectric scatterers Ergül, Özgür Salih (2007-06-15) Solutions of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects are considered by employing surface integral equations. A stabilization procedure based on extracting the non-radiating part of the induced currents is applied so that the remaining radiating currents can be modelled appropriately and the scattered fields from the low-contrast objects can be calculated with improved accuracy. Stabilization is applied to both tangential (T) and normal (N) formulations in order to use the benefits of d...
Fast-Multipole-Method Solutions of New Potential Integral Equations Gür, Uğur Meriç; Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-09-27) A recently introduced potential integral equations for stable analysis of low-frequency problems involving dense discretizations with respect to wavelength are solved by using the fast multipole method (FMM). Two different implementations of FMM based on multipoles and an approximate diagonalization employing scaled plane waves are developed and used for rigorous solutions of low-frequency problems. Numerical results on canonical problems demonstrate excellent stability and solution capabilities of both imp...
