The Rayleigh-Benard thermal convection problem is an instability of a Boussinesq fluid layer on an infinite horizontal plane heated from below and cooled from above in the presence of gravity in the vertical, pointing downward. The dynamics of this phenomena is governed by Boussinesq equations. In this work, Boussinesq equations are integrated numerically using a spectral element technique. The resulting numerical database is then used to generate the Karhunen-Loeve (K-L) basis. The K-L basis is an empirical basis in nature that can be computed from an experimentally or numerically generated database representative of the underlying physical phenomena. The K-L basis is, in turn, used to study the dynamics in the transitional regimes of thermal convection as a preliminary effort prior to extracting a low-dimensional description of the phenomena.

Unsteady MHD mixed convection flow in a lid-driven cavity with a heated wavy wall OGLAKKAYA, F. S.; Bozkaya, Canan (Elsevier BV, 2018-11-01) The unsteady mixed convection flow under the effect of an externally applied uniform magnetic field is investigated numerically in a lid-driven cavity with a sinusoidal wavy wall. The governing equations given in terms of stream function, vorticity and temperature are discretized by using the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) in space and a two-level time integration scheme is employed in time discretization. The simulations focus on the effects of several physical parameters, namely Hartmann...
Intersonic shear crack growth along weak planes Rosakis, Ares J.; Samudrala, Omprakash; Çöker, Demirkan (Informa UK Limited, 2000-01-01) Classical dynamic fracture theories predict the Rayleigh surface wave speed (cR) to be the limiting speed of propagation for mode-I cracks in constitutively homogeneous, isotropic, linear elastic materials subjected to remote loading. For mode-II cracks, propagating along prescribed straight line paths, the same theories, while excluding the possibility of crack growth in the speed regime between cR and the shear wave speed, cs, do not exclude intersonic (cs<υ<cl) crack tip speeds. In the present study, we ...
Effect of Thickness-to-Chord Ratio on Flow Structure of a Low Swept Delta Wing Gulsacan, Burak; Sencan, Gizem; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2018-12-01) The effect of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on flow structure of a delta wing with sweep angle of 35 deg is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using laser-illuminated smoke visualization, particle image velocimetry, and surface pressure measurements. Four different t/C ratios varying from 4.75 to 19% are tested at angles of attack, 4, 6, 8, and 10 deg, for Reynolds numbers Re =1 x 10(4) and 3.5 x 10(4). The results indicate that the effect of thicknessto-chord ratio on flow structure is quite substan...
Melt instabilities and the effect of surface tension on preventing edge serrations in melt overflow alloy strip casting Kalkanlı, Ali; Braithwaite, Nick (Iron and Steel Institute of Japan, 1998-01-01) Direct casting of metallic strip onto a single rotating chiller is possible by the displacement of liquid metal in a horizontal pouring channel against a vertically moving chiller surface. In the case where of a high liquid/vapour surface tension exists, the liquid cannot be dragged out of the melt pool by momentum transfer. The critical surface tension values for making strip in a series of 304 stainless steels as measured by a modified oscillating droplet technique, values 2.1-1.4 N m(-1). Surface tension...
Spectral Ground Motion Intensity Based on Capacity and Period Elongation Kadas, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet; Kazaz, Ilker (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-03-01) Ground motion intensity parameters are used to express the relationship between expected structural damage and the seismic forces imposed. The graphical representation of damage probability as a function of ground motion intensity leads to fragility curves that are generally used in loss estimation studies. The most typical parameters used to represent the ground motion intensity are peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, spectral acceleration, and spectral displacement. Other parameters obtained f...
