In continuum-flow simulations, subsonic outflow boundary conditions are controlled solely by the Mach number. Such boundary conditions are not suitable for rarefied flows, and it is necessary to include the Knudsen number into them. In the present study, this is done for external flows, by introducing a simple model which adjusts the macroscopic boundary properties (from which the incoming molecules are calculated) according to the local rarefaction. A bridging formula is used between the continuum and free-molecule limits, and the results show considerable improvement in the rarefied-flow simulations.

On the Outflow Boundary Conditions for Subsonic Rarefied External Flows Çelenligil, Mehmet Cevdet (2012-07-13) The effects of outflow boundary conditions are investigated on subsonic external flows in the transitional regime. Calculations have been performed for two-dimensional flows over a finite flat plate using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method, concentrating on Knudsen numbers of 0.02 and higher. At the outflow boundaries, the incoming molecules are determined by using a model which adjusts the outflow boundary conditions according to the local rarefaction assuming equilibrium. The results show sensitivit...
Numerical Simulation of Rarefied Laminar Flow past a Circular Cylinder Çelenligil, Mehmet Cevdet (2014-07-18) Numerical simulations have been obtained for two-dimensional laminar flows past a circular cylinder in the transitional regime. Computations are performed using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method for Knudsen numbers of 0.02 and 0.2 and Mach numbers of 0.102 and 0.4. For these conditions, Reynolds number ranges from 0.626 to 24.63 and the flows are steady. Results show that separation occurs in the wake region for the flow with Mach number of 0.4 and Knudsen number of 0.02, but for the other eases flow...
Higher dimensional metrics of colliding gravitational plane waves Gurses, M; Kahya, EO; Karasu, Atalay (2002-07-15) We give a higher even dimensional extension of vacuum colliding gravitational plane waves with the combinations of collinear and noncollinear polarized four-dimensional metrics. The singularity structure of space-time depends on the parameters of the solution.
GPU Based Fast Free-Wake Calculations For Multiple Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Rotors Turkal, M.; Novikov, Y.; Usenmez, S.; SEZER UZOL, NİLAY; Uzol, Oğuz (2014-06-20) Unsteady free-wake solutions of wind turbine flow fields involve computationally intensive interaction calculations, which generally limit the total amount of simulation time or the number of turbines that can be simulated by the method. This problem, however, can be addressed easily using high-level of parallelization. Especially when exploited with a GPU, a Graphics Processing Unit, this property can provide a significant computational speed-up, rendering the most intensive engineering problems realizable...
Comparison of the intercarrier interference cancellation methods in OFDM systems Etiler, Burkay; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In OFDM systems carrier frequency offset is observed due to Doppler shift and transmitter-receiver frequency mismatches. This offset induces ICI (Intercarrier Interference). In this thesis, repeated data methods and pilot-aided carrier frequency offset(CFO) estimation methods and windowing techniques are used to mitigate the frequency offset problem and a performance comparison is made between these ICI cancellation techniques. Repeated data methods use only half of the bandwidth for information transmissio...
