Radiative heat transfer modeling of cavities with inhomogeneous participating media using Monte Carlo ray tracing method
Dincer, Selim; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-1-31)
A Monte Carlo ray-tracing method is developed to solve radiative heat transfer in inhomogeneous participating media with three-dimensional complex enclosures. The study covers the application of the Monte Carlo method to view factor calculations, surface-to-surface heat exchange problems, and gray and non-gray participating media analysis. Firstly, the present method is validated against the analytical solutions to calculate the view factor of a simple cylindrical e...
Quantum Monte Carlo methods for fermionic systems : beyond the fixed-node approximation
Dugan, Nazım; Erkoç, Şakir; Department of Physics (2010)
Developments are made on the quantum Monte Carlo methods towards increasing the precision and the stability of the non fixed-node projector calculations of fermions. In the first part of the developments, the wavefunction correction scheme, which was developed to increase the precision of the di usion Monte Carlo (DMC) method, is applied to non fixed-node DMC to increase the precision of such fermion calculations which do not have nodal error. The benchmark calculations indicate a significant decrease of st...
Failure analysis of tapered composite structures under tensile loading
Çelik, Ozan; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
A three dimensional finite element modeling approach is used to evaluate the effects of preliminary design variables on the performance of tapered composite laminates under tensile loading. Hashin failure criteria combined with a progressive failure algorithm is used for in-plane failure mechanisms and cohesive zone method is used for out-of-plane failures. The modeling approach is validated by a comparison with experimental results from literature. The validated model is used to examine various design vari...
Monte Carlo solution of a radiative heat transfet problem in a 3-D rectangular enclosure containing absorbing, emitting and anisotropically scattering medium
Demirkaya, Gökmen; Arınç, Faruk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003)
In this study, the application of a Monte Carlo method (MCM) for radiative heat transfer in three-dimensional rectangular enclosures was investigated. The study covers the development of the method from simple surface exchange problems to enclosure problems containing absorbing, emitting and isotropically/anisotropically scattering medium. The accuracy of the MCM was first evaluated by applying the method to cubical enclosure problems. The first one of the cubical enclosure problems was prediction of radiat...
Photonic integrated circuit components with amorphous structures
Sarıhan, Murat Can; Kocaman, Serdar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
In this thesis work, amorphous photonic materials, which are an alternative to photonic crystals and offering flexibility and comparable performance, are designed for photonic integrated circuits and analyzed. A design guideline is presented for the first time with experimental verification in telecommunication wavelengths. Amorphous photonic materials are artificially designed materials that possessing random refractive index distributions and has photonic band gaps due to the inherent short-range order. F...
