Delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) has been a common approach for unsteady turbulent flow problems, but it has several weaknesses which limit its use to detached flows. On the other hand, some enhancements introduced recently have made it possible to apply to attached flows as well. In the present investigation, flow with relatively low Reynolds numbers of 100, 000 and 145, 000 around NREL S826 airfoil is simulated using DDES models with two different length scale definitions: standard length scale and shear-layer-adapted length scale (SLADDES). The solver, originally developed for aeroacoustic simulations, features fourth-order spatial accuracy enhanced with symmetry-preserving and dispersion-relation-preserving characteristics. Simulations are done at various angles of attack around stall regions. Results are compared with other simulations and measurements. The present results indicate that SLADDES accelerates transition from modeled turbulence mode to resolved turbulence mode even in attached flows. Consequently, SLADDES shows aerodynamic results in better agreement with the experiments than the standard DDES, and allows coarser grids thanks to low sensitivity to spanwise grid spacings. Moreover, it appears that both DDES and SLADDES approaches benefit from the low dissipation, low-dispersion, and high-order scheme of the solver.

Large deformation analysis of shells under impulsive loading Evcim, Mehmet; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this thesis large deformation behavior of shell structures under high intensity transient loading conditions is investigated by means of finite element method. For this purpose an explicit finite element program is developed with interactive user interface. The developed program deals with geometric and material nonlinearities which stem from large deformation elastic - plastic behavior. Results of the developed code are compared with the experimental data taken from the literature and simulation results...
Test method for appraising future durability of new concrete bridge decks Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Aktan, H.M.; Hearn, N.; Staton, J.F. (SAGE Publications, 2002-01-01) The nondestructive test procedure for quantifying the future durability of bridge deck concrete is based on the fundamental relationship between ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and the permeability of an elastic medium. An experimental study using standard concrete cylindrical specimens (ASTM C192) documented adequate sensitivity between UPV and permeability. The test procedure uses a parameter directly proportional to increase in-field concrete permeability called paste quality loss (PQL). The PQL is compu...
Reduced order nonlinear aeroelasticity of swept composite wings using compressible indicial unsteady aerodynamics Farsadi, Touraj; Rahmanian, Mohammad; Kayran, Altan (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) Nonlinear dynamic aeroelasticity of composite wings in compressible flows is investigated. To provide a reasonable model for the problem, the composite wing is modeled as a thin walled beam (TWB) with circumferentially asymmetric stiffness layup configuration. The structural model considers nonlinear strain displacement relations and a number of non-classical effects, such as transverse shear and warping inhibition. Geometrically nonlinear terms of up to third order are retained in the formulation. Unsteady...
Adaptive Fading UKF with Q-Adaptation: Application to Picosatellite Attitude Estimation Söken, Halil Ersin (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-07-01) The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is a filtering algorithm that gives sufficiently good estimation results for estimation problems of nonlinear systems even when high nonlinearity is in question. However, in the case of system uncertainty the UKF becomes inaccurate and diverges in time. In other words, if any change occurs in the process noise covariance, which is known a priori, the filter fails. This study introduces a novel adaptive fading UKF algorithm based on the correction of process noise covariance...
Reliability-based analysis of time-dependent scouring at bridge abutments Kerpiççii Kara , Sibel; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Deterministic scour prediction equations for bridge abutments do not involve uncertainties coming from scouring parameters and they only consider effects of hydraulic parameters. However, in order to safely design bridge abutments, treatment of these uncertainties and evaluation of possible risks are required. Two artificial neural network (ANN) models are constructed to describe scouring phenomenon using the parameters of two different equations. The equation to be used in the reliability analysis is then ...
