Atmospheric turbulent flow solutions coupled with a mesoscale meteorological weather prediction software are obtained on terrain fitted high resolution computational grids using FLUENT as a CFD tool. The terrain topology of interest, which may be obtained in various resolution levels, is accurately modeled using unstructured grids. The widely used meteorological weather prediction software WRF is used to provide unsteady boundary conditions for the CFD solution domain. Due to difference of mesh structure and resolution, the coupling procedure is challenging. As an addition to previous works, improvements over the coupling procedure are done by using modified boundary conditions to match the ground surfaces of both low resolution WRF data and FLUENT flowfield. Unsteady boundary conditions are implemented through the User Defined Functions developed for FLUENT. The main objectives of this study are to overcome the challenges of the coupling of the solvers and to obtain unsteady, turbulent atmospheric flow solutions accurately using low resolution atmospheric weather prediction models for spatially and time varying boundary conditions and high resolution Navier-Stokes solutions over topographical terrains.

Terrain modeling and atmospheric turbulent flow solutions based on meteorological weather forecast data Leblebici, Engin; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012) In this study, atmospheric and turbulent flow solutions are obtained using meteorological flowfield and topographical terrain data in high resolution. The terrain topology of interest, which may be obtained in various resolution levels, is accurately modeled using structured or unstructured grids depending on whether high-rise building models are present or not. Meteorological weather prediction software MM5, is used to provide accurate and unsteady boundary conditions for the solution domain. Unsteady turb...
Progress in space weather modeling in an operational environment Tsagouri, Ioanna; Belehaki, Anna; Bergeot, Nicolas; Cid, Consuelo; Delouille, Veronique; Egorova, Tatiana; Jakowski, Norbert; Kutiev, Ivan; Mikhailov, Andrei; Nunez, Marlon; Pietrella, Marco; Potapov, Alexander; Qahwaji, Rami; Tulunay, Yurdanur; Velinov, Peter; Viljanen, Ari (2013-01-01) This paper aims at providing an overview of latest advances in space weather modeling in an operational environment in Europe, including both the introduction of new models and improvements to existing codes and algorithms that address the broad range of space weather's prediction requirements from the Sun to the Earth. For each case, we consider the model's input data, the output parameters, products or services, its operational status, and whether it is supported by validation results, in order to build a...
Atmospheric Effects Removal for the Infrared Image Sequences Ozsarac, Seckin; Akar, Gözde (2015-09-01) Accurate correction of atmospheric effects on data captured by an infrared (IR) camera is crucial for several applications such as vegetation monitoring, temperature monitoring, satellite images, hyperspectral imaging, numerical model simulations, surface properties characterization, and IR measurement interpretation. Atmospheric effects depend on the temporal changes, i. e., year, season, day, hour, etc., and on the geometry between the camera and the measured scene, i. e., line of sight. The orientation a...

GPS-Based Real-Time Orbit Determination of Low Earth Orbit Satellites Using Robust Unscented Kalman Filter Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Erdogan, Eren; Pamuk, Onur (2017-11-01) In this research, a novel algorithm for real-time orbit determination (RTOD) is presented using the robust unscented Kalman filter (RUKF) with global positioning system (GPS) group and phase ionospheric correction (GRAPHIC) observables. To increase the reliability of the solution, a robust approach is included in the UKF to cope with the bad, invalid, or degraded measurements leading to the divergence or inaccurate output of the filter. Robustness is provided by making the filter less sensitive to faulty me...
