Spectral Line-Based Weighted Sum of Gray Gases (SLW) model was implemented to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Solver, ANSYS FLUENT. Discrete Ordinate Method (DOM) available in ANSYS FLUENT was used as Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) Solver. ANSYS FLUENT with SLW was applied to the prediction of incident heat fluxes for three test problems; two containing isothermal homogenous/nonhomogenous water vapor and one isothermal water vapor/carbon dioxide mixture. Predictive accuracy of SLW in ANSYS FLUENT was assessed by benchmarking its predictions against those of ray tracing (RT) with Statistical Narrow-Band (SNB) and Method of Lines (MOL) solutions of DOM with SLW. Comparisons reveal that the results of CFD code are in good agreement with the benchmark solutions. This finding proves that the use of DOM with SLW in CFD codes would provide more accurate solutions in studies involving gas combustion, where accuracy in spectral radiative properties plays dominant role in heat flux predictions.

STOCHASTIC-ANALYSIS OF UNSATURATED FLOW - ONE-DIMENSIONAL MONTE-CARLO SIMULATIONS AND COMPARISONS WITH SPECTRAL PERTURBATION ANALYSIS AND FIELD OBSERVATIONS Ünlü, Kahraman; BIGGAR, JW (1990-09-01) A numerical experiment was designed to study the stochastic behavior of one‐dimensional transient unsaturated flow in a Monte Carlo setting. Soil hydraulic properties, log‐saturated hydraulic conductivity ln Ks, pore size distribution parameter α, and the specific water capacity C are assumed to be statistically homogeneous random fields described by exponential correlation functions with identical correlation lengths. Fifty realizations of each soil hydraulic property, with statistical properties obtained ...
Design and performance analysis of a pump-turbine system using computational fluid dynamics Yıldız, Mehmet; Albayrak, Kahraman; Çelebioğlu, Kutay; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this thesis, a parametric methodology is investigated to design a Pump-Turbine system using Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ). The parts of Pump-Turbine are created parametrically according to the experience curves and theoretical design methods. Then, these parts are modified to obtain 500 kW turbine working as a pump with 28.15 meters head. The final design of Pump-Turbine parts are obtained by adjusting parameters according to the results of the CFD simulations. The designed parts of the Pump-Turbi...
Numerical Investigation of Nano-Cavities for Optimal Power Absorption in Solar Cells Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Topcuoglu, Ulas; Tuygar, Emre; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2018-06-01) We present a numerical study of nano-cavities used in solar cells for energy harvesting, by employing surface integral equations based on Maxwell's equations in the frequency domain and an efficient solver based on the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). With the three-dimensional modeling of surfaces, we obtain accurate results to evaluate the performances of different structures for improved power absorption in solar cells. This paper includes a brief description of the developed solver and initi...
Stochastic modeling in computational electromagnetics by coordinate transformations Özgün, Özlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (null; 2015-09-04) Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) involves the process of modeling the interaction of electromagnetic fields with physical objects and environment through numerical solutions of Maxwell’s equations. The study of such interactions is crucial in the analysis and design of electromagnetic systems or devices. For example, in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) applications, it is essential to characterize the immunity of devices to parasitic or intentional ele...
Phonon dispersions and elastic constants of disordered Pd-Ni alloys Kart, SO; Tomak, Mehmet; Cagin, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-31) Phonon frequencies of Pd-Ni alloys are calculated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Lattice dynamical properties computed from Sutton-Chen (SC) and quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) potentials as a function of temperature are compared with each other. We present all interatomic force constants up to the 8th nearest-neighbor shell obtained by using the calculated potential. Elastic constants evaluated by two methods are consistent with each other. The transferability of the potential is also tested. The result...
