Because of CPU time problems, an alternative to Newton’s method is investigated in order to make a flow analysis in a 3-D Supersonic Nozzle. Calculation and forming of the Jacobian matrix get harder as the system gets larger. On the contrary, Newton-GMRES approach does not require direct access to the Jacobian matrix. Due to the fact that it provides a dramatic decrease in CPU time, Newton-GMRES method is examined. To compare their performance on a supersonic nozzle, 3-D Euler Equations are solved with Newton’s and Newton-GMRES methods respectively. A parametric study is conducted for Newton-GMRES method to find the optimal solution with respect to CPU times elapsed. In order to analyse Newton-GMRES method’s behavior on larger systems, different test cases are generated. The code is developed for Newton-GMRES method with Fortran77.

Implementation of a Monte Carlo method to a two-dimensional particle-in-cell solver using algebraic meshes ŞENGİL, NEVSAN; Tumuklu, Ozgur; Çelenligil, Mehmet Cevdet (2012-01-01) Particle-in-cell (PIC) technique is a widely used computational method in the simulation of low density collisionless plasma flows. In this study, a new two-dimensional (2-D) electrostatic particle-in-cell solver is developed that can be applied to non-rectangular configurations.
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 ...
Numerical investigation of characteristics of pitch and roll damping coefficients for missile models Kayabaşı, İskander; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012) In this thesis the characteristics of pitch and roll damping coefficients of missile models are investigated by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques. Experimental data of NACA0012 airfoil, Basic Finner (BF) and Modified Basic Finner (MBF) models are used for validation and verification studies. Numerical computations are performed from subsonic to supersonic flow regimes. Grid refinement and turbulence model selection studies are conducted before starting the dynamic motion simulations. Numer...
Implicit lattice boltzmann method for laminar/turbulent flows Çevik, Fatih; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016) Lattice Boltzmann Method is an alternative computational method for fluid physics problems. The development of the method started in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Various numerical schemes like stream and collide, finite difference, finite element and finite volume schemes are used to solve the discrete Lattice Boltzmann Equation. Almost all of the numerical schemes in the literature are explicit schemes to exploit the natural features of the discrete Lattice Boltzmann Equation like parallelism and easy c...
Elastic Response of Heat Generating Rod at a Variable Generating Rate Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim; Varlı, Ekin (2014-09-28) The aim of this study is to develop a computational model to analyze thermally induced stress and deformation in a heat generating solid rod. The rod is initially at zero temperature, but for times greater than zero heat is generated internally at both space and time dependent rate. As the rod is heated up slowly an uncoupled solution is realized. The heat conduction equation with a variable generation rate is solved by a finite element collocation method. Two different generation rates are handled. The num...
