In this study, a novel Mach uniform preconditioning method is developed for the solution of Euler/Navier-Stokes equations at subsonic and incompressible flow conditions. In contrast to the methods developed earlier in which the conservation of mass equation is preconditioned, the conservation of energy equation is preconditioned in the present method to enforce the divergence free constraint on the velocity field even at the limiting case of incompressible, zero Mach number flows. The proposed Mach-uniform preconditioning method does not have a singularity point at zero free-stream Mach number. The modified system of equations preserves the strong conservation form of the governing equations for compressible flows and recovers the artificial compressibility equations in the case of zero Mach number. Two and three dimensional preconditioned solvers are developed for validation and performance evaluation of the present formulation on a wide range of Mach number flows. The studied cases show the convergence acceleration, stability and accuracy of the present Mach uniform preconditioner in comparison to the non-preconditioned compressible flow solutions. The convergence acceleration achieved is similar to those of the well known preconditioned system of equations for low subsonic flows and to the artificial compressibility method for incompressible flows.

A Mach-uniform preconditioner for incompressible and subsonic flows Bas, Onur; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Kaynak, Unver (2014-01-20) In this study, a novel Mach-uniform preconditioning method is developed for the solution of Euler equations at low subsonic and incompressible flow conditions. In contrast to the methods developed earlier in which the conservation of mass equation is preconditioned, in the present method, the conservation of energy equation is preconditioned, which enforces the divergence free constraint on the velocity field even at the limiting case of incompressible, zero Mach number flows. Despite most preconditioners, ...
Identification of Viscous and Coulomb Friction in Motion Constrained Systems YERLİKAYA, ÜMİT; Balkan, Raif Tuna (2018-07-09) In this study, a simple and inexpensive method is developed in order to identify viscous and Coulomb frictions in systems with motion limitations. This method is used on a prototype. A series of tests are performed using position profiles with different speeds created according to motion limits in the systems. Using the data obtained from these tests, viscous and Coulomb friction characteristics are identified for both negative and positive motion directions. The method developed can also be used to determi...
NUMERICAL STABILITY OF RBF APPROXIMATION FOR UNSTEADY MHD FLOW EQUATIONS Gurbuz, Merve; Tezer, Münevver (2019-01-01) In this study, the radial basis function (RBF) approximation is applied for solving the unsteady fluid flow and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convection flow problems with the use of explicit Euler time discretization and relaxation parameters to accelerate the convergence. The stability analysis is also carried out in terms of the spectral radius of related RBF discretized coefficient matrices. The optimal choices of the time increment, relaxation parameters and physical problem parameters are found for achiev...
Design of an electromagnetic classifier for spherical targets Ayar, Mehmet; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis applies an electromagnetic feature extraction technique to design electromagnetic target classifiers for conductors, dielectrics and dielectric coated conductors using their natural resonance related late-time scattered responses. Classifier databases contain scattered data at only a few aspects for each candidate target. The targets are dielectric spheres of varying sizes and refractive indices, perfectly conducting spheres varying sizes and dielectric coated conducting spheres of varying refra...
The dual reciprocity boundary element solution of helmholtz-type equations in fluid dynamics Alsoy Akgün, Nagehan; Tezer Sezgin, Münevver; Department of Mathematics (2013) In this thesis, the two-dimensional, unsteady, laminar and incompressible fluid flow problems governed by partial differential equations are solved by using dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). First, the governing equations are transformed to the inhomogeneous modified Helmholtz equations, and then the fundamental solution of modified Helmholtz equation is used for obtaining boundary element method (BEM) formulation. Thus, all the terms in the equation except the modified Helmholtz operator ar...
