In this thesis, numerical simulation method for modelling lateral jet in supersonic crossflow is presented. Lateral jet control provides high maneuverability to the missile at difficult flow conditions. Besides, jet in a crossflow case has a highly complicated flow domain which should be examined using numerical or experimental methods. In this study, numerical methods are used. The thesis consists of two main sections. In the first section, a validation study is conducted for numerical simulation method using experimental results of a generic missile geometry with lateral jet from literature. First, grid independency and turbulence model studies are conducted for validation model. In the turbulence model study k- Realizable and k- SST turbulence models have been used and results show that, k- Realizable model results in closer results to the experimental data. Moreover, surface pressure distribution data from experiment is used for validating numerical simulation method. Hence, results of the numerical simulation are in a good agreement with the experimental results except for some deviations at the recirculation region. In the second section, a parametric study is conducted for generating a database of jet and crossflow interactions using the validated numerical simulation method. In the parametric study, a slender missile geometry with lateral jet is used. Examined parameters are jet location, jet spouting angle, free-stream and jet flow velocity, and incidence angle. It is seen that, spouting jet normally results in best maneuverability. Furthermore, jet locations result in varying performance depending on the free-stream flow velocity. Once for all, jet flow Mach is inspected and seen that, jet performance depends strongly on jet flow Mach number.

This paper presents the results of a numerical modeling study on the scouring of unprotected rear side material of a rubble mound coastal revetment due to the overtopping of solitary-like waves utilizing a coupled hydro-morphodynamic computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. Three cases having various wave heights are tested with six different turbulence models together with different wall functions. The hydrodynamic results (free-surface elevations, overtopping volumes, and jet thicknesses) and morphologic...
Study of jet shapes in inclusive jet production inppcollisions ats=7  TeVusing the ATLAS detector
Aad, G.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2011-3-8)
Jet shapes have been measured in inclusive jet production in proton-proton collisions at √ s = 7     TeV using 3     pb − 1 of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed using the anti- k t algorithm with transverse momentum 30     GeV < p T < 600     GeV and rapidity in the region | y | < 2.8 . The data are corrected for detector effects and compared to several leading-order QCD matrix elements plus parton shower Monte Carlo predictions, including different sets of par...

Three-dimensional numerical simulations of a four-wing flapping micro aerial vehicle (FMAV) with actual experimentally captured wing membrane kinematics have been performed using an immersed boundary method Navier-Stokes finite volume solver. To successfully simulate the clap and fling motion involving the wing intersection, the numerical solver has been specifically modified to use a newly improved interpolation template searching algorithm to prevent divergence. Reasonable agreement was found between the ...
