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 area is referenced as [1] in this thesis. Another source of information about the method comes from a commercially available code FLUENT which includes the algorithm as an option for pressure-based solver. However the algorithm in FLUENT does not seem to be a fully implicit with a little information in its manual. In this thesis, a fully implicit coupled pressure-based solver is developed mainly based on the available literature. The developed code is succesfully tested against some test cases.

Incompressible flow simulations using least squares spectral element method on adaptively refined triangular grids
Akdağ, Osman; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
The main purpose of this study is to develop a flow solver that employs triangular grids to solve two-dimensional, viscous, laminar, steady, incompressible flows. The flow solver is based on Least Squares Spectral Element Method (LSSEM). It has p-type adaptive mesh refinement/coarsening capability and supports p-type nonconforming element interfaces. To validate the developed flow solver several benchmark problems are studied and successful results are obtained. The performances of two different triangular ...
Design and analysis of a vertical axis water turbine for river applications using computational fluid dynamics
Demircan, Eren; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
The main purpose of this study is to design a Darrieus rotor type vertical axis water turbine using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in order to be used in river currents. The CFD modeling is based on two dimensional numerical solution of the rotor motion using commercial Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes solvers, Ansys Fluent and CFX. To validate the two dimensional numerical solution, an experimental Darrieus rotor type water turbine from literature is studied and performance of several turbulenc...
Application of spring analogy mesh deformation technique in airfoil design optimization
Yang, Yosheph; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015)
In this thesis, an airfoil design optimization with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis combined with mesh deformation method is elaborated in detail. The mesh deformation technique is conducted based on spring analogy method. Several improvements and modifications are addressed during the implementation of this method. These enhancements are made so that good quality of the mesh can still be maintained and robustness of the solution can be achieved. The capability of mesh deformation is verified by...
Numerical methods for multiphysics flow problems
Belenli Akbaş, Mine; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Rebholz, Leo G.; Department of Mathematics (2016)
In this dissertation, efficient and reliable numerical algorithms for approximating solutions of multiphysics flow problems are investigated by using numerical methods. The interaction of multiple physical processes makes the systems complex, and two fundamental difficulties arise when attempting to obtain numerical solutions of these problems: the need for algorithms that reduce the problems into smaller pieces in a stable and accurate way and for large (sometimes intractable) amount of computational resou...
Application of numerical shape optimization to the runner blades of a francis turbine
Yalılı, Mehmet; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
The multi-objective design of hydraulic turbines using computational fluid dynamics software has been an important subject in turbomachinery area recently. Researches focus especially on obtaining higher turbine efficiency by the improvement of runner shapes. Thus in the present study, a multi-objective shape optimization procedure was applied to improve the runner blade shapes of a small Francis turbine named as GAMM turbine which was selected from the literature. CFD computations as well as blade generati...
