Theoretical modeling and numerical verification are essential in integrated photonics for designing optimized structures as well as interpretation of the experimental results. In this thesis, a dynamically changing refractive index modification for the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method is proposed, implemented with C++ and results are compared with recent experimental studies. The proposed method is based on the idea of the time-domain simulation of the non-stationary objects while satisfying the conventional Yee algorithm. As a case study with the proposed modified method, optical analog of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) phenomena in coupled on-chip cavities such as double microring resonators and L3 coupled-cavity photonic crystals is numerically analyzed in detail. Light trapping coming from EIT is an important topic for future photonic integrated circuits and systems observing EIT with micro-cavities are quite suitable for testing dynamical refractive index change. The simulation results with the proposed method are initially verified with an open electromagnetic wave simulator, MEEP, for the constant refractive index cases through the comparison of the transmission spectra. Then, experimental studies are numerically investigated with the proposed modified FDTD method and the calculated delay (light storage) values are consistent with the measurement results proving the usefulness of the developed method.

Electromagnetic modeling of split-ring resonators Gurel, Levent; Unal, Alper; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2006-09-15) In this paper, we report our efforts to model split-ring resonators (SRRs) and their large arrays accurately and efficiently in a sophisticated simulation environment based on recent advances in the computational electromagnetics. The resulting linear system obtained from the simultaneous discretization of the geometry and Maxwell's equations is solved iteratively with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. As an example, we present an array of 125 SRRs showing a negative effective permeability about 92 GHz.
Simulation of the in-plane structural behavior of unreinforced masonry walls and buildings using DEM Pulatsu, Bora; Erdogmus, Ece; Lourenço, Paulo B.; Lemos, Jose V.; Tuncay, Kağan (2020-10-01) In this study, a novel computational modeling strategy is proposed to estimate the lateral load capacity and behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. All commonly noted failure mechanisms are captured via the proposed modeling strategy using the discrete element method (DEM) in three-dimensions (3D). Masonry walls are represented as a system of elastic discrete blocks, where the nodal velocities are evaluated by integrating the equations of motion using the central difference method. Then, the mec...
Computational Modeling of Myocardial Infarction Berberoglu, Ezgi; Göktepe, Serdar (2014-07-19) Recent developments in computer technology and mathematical modeling have lead to a remarkable improvement in the computational modeling of the cardiovascular system. The virtual heart models have huge potential to understand the electrophysiological and mechanical response of the heart in the healthy and pathological cases. The simulation of physidogical behavior of the heart depends on the usage of physiologically sound constitutive models besides the incorporation of the efficient, robust, and stable num...
Numerical calculation of backfilling of scour holes Sumer, B Mutlu; Baykal, Cüneyt; Fuhrman, David R; Jacobsen, Niels G; Fredsoe, Jorgen (2014-12-04) A fully-coupled hydrodynamic and morphologic CFD model is presented for simulating backfilling processes around structures. The hydrodynamic model is based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, coupled with two-equation k-ω turbulence closure. The sediment transport model consists of separate bed and suspended load descriptions, the latter based on a turbulent diffusion equation coupled with a reference concentration function near the sea bed boundary. Bed morphology is based on the sediment continu...
Realization of multiband microwave metamaterials fabricated via low-cost inkjet printing İbili, Hande; Keles, Selen; Erıs, Ozgur; Ergül, Özgür Salih (null; 2019-10-17) We present design and computational analysis of multiband metamaterial structures that are fabricated via low-cost inkjet printing. In particular, three-dimensional arrangements of split-ring resonators with different sizes are considered to achieve bandstop characteristics at multiple frequencies. A fast and accurate solver is employed to analyze alternative arrangements, while considering different parameters to obtain strong resonances at desired frequencies. The obtained designs are fabricated in a low-...
