A model potential energy function fitted to high level ab initio results is used for the first time to calculate saddle point configurations and energies between low lying structures of Al4, Al5 and Al6. For these clusters, energy barriers for structural isomerizations were found to vary in height. In general, barriers between high-symmetry equilibrium structures are low indicating that for those cases isomerization reactions in the gas phase may take place at lower temperatures. On the other hand, calculations indicate that barriers between two- and three-dimensional forms are high which may affect the equilibration process in the gas phase.

Numerical simulation of non-reacting turbulent flows over a constant temperature solid surface in regression Karaeren, Cenker; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) In this study, an attempt is made to obtain convergent and stable solutions of the K-E turbulence model equations for non-reacting turbulent flows over an isothermal solid surface in regression. A physics based mathematical model is used to describe the flow and temperature field over the moving surface. The flow is assumed to be two-dimensional, unsteady, incompressible with boundary layer approximations. Parabolized form of the standard K-E equations is adopted to simulate turbulence in the flow. Regressi...
Hybrid finite element for analysis of functionally graded beams Sarıtaş, Afşin; Soydas, Ozan (2017-01-01) A hybrid finite element model is presented, where stiffness and mass distributions over a beam with functionally graded material (FGM) are accurately modeled for both elastic and inelastic material responses. Von Mises and Drucker-Prager plasticity models are implemented for metallic and ceramic parts of FGM, respectively. Three-dimensional stress-strain relations are solved by a general closest point projection algorithm, and then condensed to the dimensions of the beam element. Numerical examples and veri...
Numerical Simulation of Flow through Stenotic Artery Tarman, Işık Hakan (2009-01-01) Numerical simulation of flow through stenotic artery is performed using spectral element method in an axisymmetric geometry. This method, under suitable conditions, provides high accuracy The use of the weak form of the governing model equations, brings flexibility in treating solution domains with nonstandard geometry. The solenoidal character of the flow is preserved by the treatment of the pressure in a natural way in the numerical formulation. The use of Legendre-Lobatto grid points with its denser dist...
Streamwise oscillations of a cylinder beneath a free surface: Free surface effects on vortex formation modes Bozkaya, Canan; Mironova, L. A.; Gubanov, O. I. (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-15) A computational study of a viscous incompressible two-fluid model with an oscillating cylinder is investigated at a Reynolds number of 200 and at a dimensionless displacement amplitude of A = 0.13 and for the dimensionless forcing cylinder oscillation frequency-to-natural vortex shedding frequency ratios, f/f(0) = 1.5, 2.5, 3.5. Specifically, two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder subject to forced in-line oscillations beneath a free surface is considered. The method is based on a finite volume discr...
Numerical Solution and Stability Analysis of Transient MHD Duct Flow Tezer, Münevver (2018-11-01) This paper simulates the 2D transient magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a rectangular duct in terms of the velocity of the fluid and the induced magnetic field by using the radial basis function (RBF) approximation. The inhomogeneities in the Poisson’s type MHD equations are approximated using the polynomial functions (1+r) and the particular solution is found satisfying both the equations and the boundary conditions (no-slip and insulated walls). The Euler scheme is used for advancing the solution to ste...
