Shock wave boundary layer interactions occur in industrial flows where the flow is transonic, supersonic or hypersonic and there is an incoming boundary layer present. Many of the air crafts such as planes, rockets, missiles, re-entry vehicles, and supersonic wind tunnels experience shock wave boundary layer interactions. These interactions can take place on an air craft at several different places such as the air intakes, ramps, forebody and fins, and also the diffuser section of a supersonic wind tunnel. In this thesis study, three cases of shock wave boundary layer interactions are investigated, which are compression-expansion ramp, shock impinging on a wall and shock impinging on a compression-expansion ramp. The first case is at Mach 2.88 and with a Reynolds number of 135000 based on the incoming boundary layer thickness, while others are at Mach 2.05 and a Reynolds number of 188000 based on the incoming boundary layer thickness. OpenFOAM is used as the CFD software and solutions are performed using wall modeled large eddy simulations using wall functions. For the first two cases, the results are compared with the available experimental and numerical data. The results of the third case are novel since it has not yet been studied in the literature numerically or experimentally. The results for the first two cases were comparable to experimental results in terms of pressure distribution, flow field structures and unsteadiness whereas velocity profiles and skin friction distributions showed discrepancies especially in the separation zones.

Investigation of subsynchronous resonance risk in the 380 kv Turkish electric network Ozay, N.; Güven, Ali Nezih (null; 1988-12-01) Subsynchronous resonance (SSR) occurs when a resonant frequency of a series compensated transmission system interacts with a natural frequency of the turbine prime mover. This form of SSR is referred to as torsional interaction which, under certain conditions, may become self-excited and cause serious damage to electrical equipment and turbine shafts. The presence of a thermal power plant (Kangal) in the close vicinity of a group of series capacitors in Eastern Turkey necessitated a careful investigation of...
Investigation of the layering mechanism of agglomerate growth during drum pelletization Sastry, KVS; Dontula, P; Hoşten, Çetin (Elsevier BV, 2003-02-19) Conventional drum pelletization circuits exhibit undesirable surging behavior that is known to result from uncontrolled occurrence of the mechanisms of nucleation, coalescence and layering. This study was undertaken to investigate the mechanism of pellet growth by layering. Several laboratory experiments were carried out to delineate the effect of feed moisture content and feed quantity. This paper presents an analysis of the experimental results and a simple model to describe the layering process. (C) 2002...
Investigation of unsteady wake-separated boundary layer interaction using particle-image-velocimetry Uzol, Oğuz; Cranstone, Alex; Hodson, Howard (2007-05-17) The current paper presents an experimental investigation of the interaction between unsteady wakes and the separated boundary layer on the suction side of an ultra-high-lift low-pressure turbine airfoil. Two-dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements of the unsteady boundary layer over the T106C LP turbine profile were performed in a low speed linear cascade facility, at selected phases of passing wakes. The wakes are created by moving cylindrical bars across the inlet of the test section. V...
Prediction of bubble dynamics in a fluidized bed by the measurement of pressure oscillations Parlak, M; Patoglu, V; Sayar, A; Vural, H (1998-07-29) In the present study, the pressure fluctuations in a two-dimensional transparent fluidized bed are measured by a pressure transducer such that the bubble formation and movement can be detected from the signals. Bubble movement is recorded by a video camera and signals obtained from the pressure transducer are stored in a computer. Bubble diameters and rise velocities are determined from pressure-time data utilizing image and signal processing techniques.
An application of k-e model to oscillatory boundary layers Aydın, İsmail (1988-03-01) The k-ε model of turbulence is applied to one-dimensional oscillatory turbulent boundary layer flow. Computations are performed over fine meshes extending from the bottom to the outside of the boundary layer. Effects of low Reynolds number are included in the equations of turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent energy dissipation rate. An additional production of turbulent kinetic energy due to the surface roughness is simulated by introduction of a ‘roughness viscosity’ in the production term of turbulent k...
