In this study, we propose a method to reconstruct pressure fields from planar particle image velocimetry measurements for laminar flows by employing semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations algorithm to solve governing equations where measured velocities are inherently used as boundary conditions. The method starts with interpolating the measured velocity field on a staggered computational grid. The continuity equation, in the form of pressure equation for incompressible flows, is solved with this velocity data to reach an initial pressure field. Momentum equations are solved with calculated pressure field and then pressure correction equation is solved for calculating the mass imbalance in continuity equation. Using this mass imbalance, the current velocity field is corrected. Repeating this procedure until convergence provides not only the pressure field that satisfies governing equations, but also error reduction on the measured velocity. The method is validated with theoretical flows and its sensitivity to the velocity field error is assessed. This method reconstructs the pressure fields exactly for error-free velocity fields and can correct the flow-fields to accurate values even with extremely high experimental errors. Application on a flapping airfoil experiment showed that the method can successfully reconstruct pressure field by slightly altering the measured velocity field. The proposed method offers a non-intrusive, global pressure measurement for laminar flows with minimum end user input.

Aerodynamic characteristics of flapping motion in hover
Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; FARCY, A.; ALEMDAROGLU, N. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-01-01)
The aim of the present work is to understand the aerodynamic phenomena and the vortex topology of an unsteady flapping motion by means of numerical and experimental methods. Instead of the use of real insect/bird wing geometries and kinematics which are highly complex and difficult to imitate by an exact modeling, a simplified model is used in order to understand the unsteady aerodynamics and vortex formation mechanisms during the different phases of the flapping motion. The flow is assumed to be laminar wi...
Linear stability analysis in compressible, flat-plate boundary-layers
Özgen, Serkan (Island Press, 2008-01-01)
The stability problem of two-dimensional compressible flat-plate boundary layers is handled using the linear stability theory. The stability equations obtained from three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved simultaneously with two-dimensional mean flow equations, using an efficient shoot-search technique for adiabatic wall condition. In the analysis, a wide range of Mach numbers extending well into the hypersonic range are considered for the mean flow, whereas both two- and three-dim...
The finite element method for MHD flow at high Hartmann numbers
Nesliturk, AI; Tezer, Münevver (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-01)
A stabilized finite element method using the residual-free bubble functions (RFB) is proposed for solving the governing equations of steady magnetohydrodynamic duct flow. A distinguished feature of the RFB method is the resolving capability of high gradients near the layer rep-ions without refining mesh. We show that the RFB method is stable by proving that the numerical method is coercive even not only at low values but also at moderate and high values of the Hartmann number. Numerical results confirming t...
Incompressible flow simulations using least squares spectral element method on adaptively refined triangular grids
Akdağ, Osman; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
The main purpose of this study is to develop a flow solver that employs triangular grids to solve two-dimensional, viscous, laminar, steady, incompressible flows. The flow solver is based on Least Squares Spectral Element Method (LSSEM). It has p-type adaptive mesh refinement/coarsening capability and supports p-type nonconforming element interfaces. To validate the developed flow solver several benchmark problems are studied and successful results are obtained. The performances of two different triangular ...
Density functional theory investigation of two-dimensional dipolar fermions in a harmonic trap
Toffoli, Hande; TANATAR, BİLAL (2014-08-13)
We investigate the behavior of polarized dipolar fermions in a two-dimensional harmonic trap in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) formalism using the local density approximation. We treat only a few particles interacting moderately. Important results were deduced concerning key characteristics of the system such as total energy and particle density. Our results indicate that, at variance with Coulombic systems, the exchangecorrelation component was found to provide a large contribution to...
