In this study, an attempt is made to obtain convergent and stable solutions of the K-E turbulence model equations for non-reacting turbulent flows over an isothermal solid surface in regression. A physics based mathematical model is used to describe the flow and temperature field over the moving surface. The flow is assumed to be two-dimensional, unsteady, incompressible with boundary layer approximations. Parabolized form of the standard K-E equations is adopted to simulate turbulence in the flow. Regression of the solid surface causes the bounds of the solution domain to change with time, therefore a coordinate transformation is used in the vertical direction. The computational domain with fixed boundaries is discretized using an orthogonal grid system where a coordinate stretching is used in the vertical direction. A second order accurate, explicit finite difference technique is used for discretization of the governing equations. The final set of discretized equations is then solved using a solution algorithm specifically developed for this study. The verification of the solution algorithm includes a grid independence study, time increment study, and a comparison of the steady state results for the laminar and the turbulent flow cases. Finally, a parametric study is conducted using the proposed solution algorithm to test the stability of the numerical results for different Reynolds numbers, regression rates, and surface temperatures. It is concluded that the proposed numerical solution algorithm is capable of providing convergent and stable solutions of the two-equation turbulence model.

Numerical simulation and analytical optimization of microchannel heat sinks Türkakar, Göker; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) This study has two main objectives: The performance evaluation of existing microchannel heat sinks using a CFD model, and the dimensional optimization of various heat sinks by minimizing the total thermal resistance. For the analyses, the geometric modeling is performed using the software GAMBIT while the thermal analysis is performed with FLUENT. The developed model compares very well with those available in the literature. Eight different metal-polymer microchannel heat sinks are analyzed using the model ...
Fully Coupled Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics-Finite Element Method Approach for Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems With Large Deflections Dincer, A. Ersin; Demir, Abdullah; Bozkuş, Zafer; Tijsseling, Arris S. (ASME International, 2019-08-01) In this study, a combination of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and finite element method (FEM) solving the complex problem of interaction between fluid with free surface and an elastic structure is studied. A brief description of SPH and FEM is presented. Contact mechanics is used for the coupling between fluid and structure, which are simulated with SPH and FEM, respectively. In the proposed method, to couple meshfree and mesh-based methods, fluid and structure are solved together by a complete ...
Implementation of turbulence models on 2d hybrid grids using an explicit/implicit multigrid algorithm Yılmaz, Ali Emre; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011) In this thesis study, implementation, numerical stability and convergence rate issues of turbulence modeling are explored. For this purpose, a one equation turbulence model, Spalart-Allmaras, and a two-equation turbulence model, SST k-w, are adapted to an explicit, cell centered, finite volume method based, structured / hybrid multi grid flow solver, SENSE2D, developed at TUBITAK-SAGE. Governing equations for both the flow and the turbulence are solved in a loosely coupled manner, however, each set of equat...
Optimum Profile Modifications for the Minimization of Dynamic Transmission Error ÖZTÜRK, VEYSEL YALIN; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2014-08-28) An optimization study is performed target being the reduction of dynamic transmission error (DTE) for a selected operational range, where the operating torque and speed ranges are defined. For this purpose, two different models, i.e. a single degree of freedom (SDOF) lumped gear dynamics model and a multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) lumped model of a gear pair which is combined with shaft and bearing dynamics are employed. The differences between the optimization results obtained through loaded static transmis...
Analysis of single phase convective heat transfer in microtubes and microchannels Çetin, Barbaros; Yüncü, Hafit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) Heat transfer analysis of two-dimensional, incompressible, constant property, hydrodynamically developed, thermally developing, single phase laminar flow in microtubes and microchannels between parallel plates with negligible axial conduction is performed for constant wall temperature and constant wall heat flux thermal boundary conditions for slip flow regime. Fully developed velocity profile is determined analytically, and energy equation is solved by using finite difference method for both of the geometr...
