In this thesis, we consider a projection-based stabilization method for solving buoyancy driven flows (natural convection problems). The method consists of adding global stabilization for all scales and then anti-diffusing these effects on the large scales defined by projections into appropriate function spaces. In this way, stabilization acts only on the small scales. We consider two different variations of buoyancy driven flows based on the projection-based stabilization. First, we focus on the steady-state natural convection problem of heat transport through combined solid and fluid media in a classical enclosure. We present the mathematical analysis of the projection-based method and prove existence, uniqueness and convergence of the approximate solutions of the velocity, temperature and pressure. We also present some numerical tests to support theoretical findings. Second, we consider a system of combined heat and mass transfer in a porous medium due to the natural convection. For the semi-discrete problem, a stability analysis of the projectionbased method and a priori error estimate are given for the Darcy-Brinkman equations in double-diffusive convection. Then we provide numerical assessments and a comparison with some benchmark data for the Darcy-Brinkman equations. In the last part of the thesis, we present a fully discrete scheme with the linear extrapolation of convecting velocity terms for the Darcy-Brinkman equations.

Optimum spacing between vertical, parallel heat generating boards cooled by natural convection in a fixed volume
Saygan, Samet; Yüncü, Hafit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
In this study, the effect of distance between vertical and parallel heat generating plates which are fixed in a given volume on the natural convection to the air between plates is investigated both numerically and experimentally. The conservation equations which represent the constant property air flow in fixed and rectangular cross section channel are solved by the FloEFD software which used the Finite Volume Method and the SIMPLE algorithm. The maximum temperatures of plates are compared with the experime...
The dual reciprocity boundary element method solution of fluid flow problems
Gümgüm, Sevin; Tezer, Münevver; Department of Scientific Computing (2010)
In this thesis, the two-dimensional, transient, laminar flow of viscous and incompressible fluids is solved by using the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). Natural convection and mixed convection flows are also solved with the addition of energy equation. Solutions of natural convection flow of nanofluids and micropolar fluids in enclosures are obtained for highly large values of Rayleigh number. The fundamental solution of Laplace equation is used for obtaining boundary element method (BEM) ...
Discontinuous galerkin finite elements method with structure preserving time integrators for gradient flow equations
Sarıaydın Filibelioğlu, Ayşe; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Scientific Computing (2015)
Gradient flows are energy driven evolutionary equations such that the energy decreases along solutions. There have been surprisingly a large number of well-known partial differential equations (PDEs) which have the structure of a gradient flow in different research areas such as fluid dynamics, image processing, biology and material sciences. In this study, we focus on two systems which can be modeled by gradient flows;Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard equations. These equations model the phase separation in mat...
Pseudospin symmetry solution of the Dirac equation with an angle-dependent potential
Berkdemir, Cueneyt; Sever, Ramazan (IOP Publishing, 2008-02-01)
The pseudospin symmetry solution of the Dirac equation for spin 1/2 particles moving within the Kratzer potential connected with an angle-dependent potential is investigated systematically. The Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used to solve the Dirac equation. All of the studies are performed for the exact pseudospin symmetry (SU2) case and also the exact spin symmetry case is given briefly in the appendix. Bound-state solutions are presented to discuss the contribution of the angle-dependent potential to the rel...
Boundary element method solution of initial and boundary value problems in fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics
Bozkaya, Canan; Tezer, Münevver; Department of Mathematics (2008)
In this thesis, the two-dimensional initial and boundary value problems invol\-ving convection and diffusion terms are solved using the boundary element method (BEM). The fundamental solution of steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow equations in the original coupled form which are convection-diffusion type is established in order to apply the BEM directly to these coupled equations with the most general form of wall conductivities. Thus, the solutions of MHD flow in rectangular ducts and in infinite regions...
