Flat plate film cooling effectiveness is numerically predicted by different RANS-based turbulence models. Experimental work of Sinha et al. (1991) is selected as a validation case and predictions of analysis are compared with tabulated experimental data for three different density, velocity and momentum flux ratios. Fluent is used as a solver and postprocessor. Results are presented as centerline, laterally averaged and local lateral film cooling effectiveness. Predictions of Realizable k-epsilon, k-epsilon SST, RSM (Reynolds Stress Model) and V2-f turbulence models are compared and success of each model is evaluated. For centerline effectiveness, results reasonably show that k-omega SST, RSM and V2-f turbulence models accurately predict the experimental data for all three cases whereas Realizable k-epsilon generally has underpredictions. Results obtained by Realizable k-epsilon appear to match with experiments better for laterally averaged effectiveness near coolant exit but other models have better predictions for further downstream. Good agreement is also observed for local lateral effectiveness obtained by k-omega SST, RSM and V2-f turbulence models.

Effects of optical design modifications on thermal performance of a highly reflective HfO2/SiO2/TiO2 three material coating
OCAK, M.; Sert, Cüneyt; Okutucu-Ozyurt, T. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-02-01)
Effects of layer thickness modifications on laser induced temperature distribution inside three material, highly reflective thin film coatings are studied with numerical simulations. As a base design, a 21 layer coating composed of HfO2, SiO2 and TiO2 layers of quarter wave thickness is considered. First, the laser induced temperature distribution in this base design is obtained. Then the layer thicknesses of the base design are modified and the corresponding temperature distributions in four alternative no...
High Speed Couette—Poiseuille Flow Stability in Reverse Flow Conditions
Ebrinç, Ali Aslan; Özgen, Serkan; Dursunkaya, Zafer (2006-08-21)
The linear stability of reverse high speed-viscous plane Couette – Poiseuille flow is investigated numerically. The conservation equations along with Sutherland’s viscosity law are studied using a second order finite difference scheme. Basic velocity and temperature distributions are perturbed by a small amplitude normal-mode disturbance. Small amplitude disturbance equations are solved numerically using a global method to find all the eigenvalues at finite Reynolds numbers. The results indicate that instab...

Thin film piezoelectric acoustic transducer for fully implantable cochlear implants
Ilık, Bedirhan; Koyuncuoglu, Aziz; Sardan-Sukas, Ozlem; Külah, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 2018-09-01)
This paper reports the development of a single cantilever thin film PLD-PZT transducer prototype. The device was experimentally characterized by attaching it on an acoustically vibrating membrane resembling the behavior of the eardrum. Acceleration characteristic of the sensor attached on the membrane was obtained by using a Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) as the output voltage was measured by an oscilloscope. A voltage output of 114 mV was obtained, when the device was excited at 110 dB Sound Pressure Level...
Effect of thickness-to-chord ratio on aerodynamics of non-slender delta wing
Ghazijahani, Mohammad Sharifi; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2019-05-01)
The effect of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on aerodynamics of a non-slender delta wing with sweep angle of 45 degree is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using laser illuminated smoke visualization, surface pressure measurements, particle image velocimetry, and force measurements. The delta wings of t/C ratios varying from 2% to 15% with 45 degree windward beveled leading edges are tested. The results indicate that the effect of t/C ratio on flow structure is quite substantial. Considering the low ...
