A finite difference time domain algorithm on a wavefront-ray grid (WRG-FDTD) is proposed in this study to reduce numerical dispersion of conventional FDTD methods. A FDTD algorithm conforming to a wavefront-ray grid can be useful to take into account anisotropy effects of numerical grids since it features directional energy flow along the rays. An explicit and second-order accurate WRG-FDTD algorithm is provided in generalized curvilinear coordinates for an inhomogeneous isotropic medium. Numerical simulations for a vertical electrical dipole have been conducted to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed method. Results have been compared with those of the spherical FDTD algorithm and it is showed that numerical grid anisotropy can be reduced highly by WRG-FDTD.

Open problems in CEM: A new look at the stability analysis of the finite-difference time-domain method Ergül, Özgür Salih; Özakın, M. Burak (2014-01-01) The stability analysis of a numerical time-domain method plays a crucial role in well understanding the numerical behavior of the algorithm. The stability analysis should therefore be investigated in all senses. In this work, a new look at the stability analysis of the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method is given. A novel link is constructed between the numerical-dispersion analysis and the stability analysis by using the sampled values of the unit space and time steps. Unification of these two analyses th...
Time filtered second order backward Euler method for EMAC formulation of Navier-Stokes equations Demir, Medine; Çıbık, Aytekin; Kaya Merdan, Songül (2022-12-15) © 2022 Elsevier Inc.This paper considers the backward Euler based linear time filtering method for the developed energy-momentum-angular momentum conserving (EMAC) formulation of the time dependent-incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the case of weakly enforced divergence constraint. The method adds time filtering as a post-processing step to the EMAC formulation to enhance the accuracy and to improve the approximate solutions. We show that in comparison with the Backward-Euler based EMAC formulation ...
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...
Consensus clustering of time series data Yetere Kurşun, Ayça; Batmaz, İnci; İyigün, Cem; Department of Scientific Computing (2014) In this study, we aim to develop a methodology that merges Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and consensus clustering in a single algorithm. Mostly used time series distance measures require data to be of the same length and measure the distance between time series data mostly depends on the similarity of each coinciding data pair in time. DTW is a relatively new measure used to compare two time dependent sequences which may be out of phase or may not have the same lengths or frequencies. DTW aligns two time serie...
Unstructured grid generation and a simple triangulation algorithm for arbitrary 2-D geometries using object oriented programming Karamete, BK; Tokdemir, Turgut; Ger, M (Wiley, 1997-01-30) This paper describes the logic of a dynamic algorithm for a general 2D Delaunay triangulation of arbitrarily prescribed interior and boundary nodes. The complexity of the geometry is completely arbitrary. The scheme is free of specific restrictions on the input of the geometrical data. The scheme generates triangles whose associated circumcircles contain 'no nodal points except their vertices. There is no predefined limit for the number of points and the boundaries. The direction of generation of the triang...
