A fully automated Cartesian/Quad grid generator and laminar flow solver have been developed for external flows by using C++. After defining the input geometry by nodal points, adaptively refined Cartesian grids are generated automatically. Quadtree data structure is used in order to connect the Cartesian cells to each other. In order to simulate viscous flows, body-fitted quad cells can be generated optionally. Connectivity is provided by cut and split cells such that the intersection points of Cartesian cells are used as the corners of quads at the outmost row. Geometry based adaptation methods for cut, split cells and highly curved regions are applied to the uniform mesh generated around the geometry. After obtaining a sufficient resolution in the domain, the solution is achieved with cellcentered approach by using multistage time stepping scheme. Solution based grid adaptations are carried out during the execution of the program in order to refine the regions with high gradients and obtain sufficient resolution in these regions. Moreover, multigrid technique is implemented to accelerate the convergence time significantly. Some tests are performed in order to verify and validate the accuracy and efficiency of the code for inviscid and laminar flows.

The method of lines solution of the discrete ordinates method for radiative heat transfer in enclosures
Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2000-04-01)
A radiation code based on the method of fines (MOL) solution of the discrete ordinates method (DOM) for transient three-dimensional radiative heat transfer in rectangular enclosures for use in conjunction with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code based on the same approach,vas developed. Assessment of the predictive accuracy of the code by benchmarking its steady-state solutions against exact solutions on one- and three-dimensional test problems shows that the MOL solution of the DOM provides accurate ...
Comparison of Inverter Topologies Suited for Integrated Modular Motor Drive Applications
Ugur, Mesut; Sarac, Hakan; Keysan, Ozan (2018-08-30)
In this paper, various inverter topologies are compared for integrated modular motor drive (IMMD) applications. Two-level voltage source inverter (2L-VSI), three level voltage source inverter (3L-VSI) and series/parallel combinations of these topologies with system level modularity are compared in terms of voltage and current harmonic spectrum, passive component sizes and motor drive efficiency. New generation wide band-gap GaN power semiconductor devices are utilized in modular topologies and they are comp...
Development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques for integrated MEMS sensors
Yaşınok, Gözde Ceren; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
This thesis presents the development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques (ECES) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated MEMS sensors with wet anisotropic etching by applying proper voltages to various regions in silicon. The anisotropic etchant is selected as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, TMAH, considering its high silicon etch rate, selectivity towards SiO2, and CMOS compatibility, especially during front-side etching of the chip/wafer. A number of parameters affecting the etching are inv...
Development of a shell finite element for large deformation analysis of laminated composites
Yıldız, Tuba; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
The objective of the present work is to investigate the behavior of laminated fiber -reinforced polymer matrix composite shell structures under bending load with the help of a modified finite element computer code which was previously developed for the analysis of pseudo-layered single material shells. The laminates are assumed to be orthotropic and the formulation is adapted to first order shear deformation theory. The aim is to determine the large deformation characteristics numerically, and to predict th...
Implementation of a risc microcontroller using fpga
Gümüş, Raşit; Güran, Hasan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis a microcontroller core is developed in an FPGA. Its instruction set is compatible with the microcontroller PIC16XX series by Microchip Technology. The microcontroller employs a RISC architecture with separate busses for instructions and data. Our goal in this research is to implement and evaluate the design in the FPGA. Increasing performance and gate capacity of recent FPGA devices permits complex logic systems to be implemented on a single programmable device. Such a growing complexity dema...
