Numerical Solution of MHD Incompressible Convection Flow in Channels
Gurbuz, Merve; Tezer, Münevver (2019-1-01)
The purpose of this paper is to study numerically the influence of the magnetic field, buoyancy force and viscous dissipation on the convective flow and temperature of the fluid in a square cavity, lid-driven cavity, and lid-driven cavity with an obstacle at the center. The continuity, momentum and energy equations are coupled including buoyancy and magnetic forces, and energy equation contains Joule heating and viscous dissipation. The equations are solved in terms of stream function, vorticity and tempera...
Numerical solution of magnetohydrodynamic flow problems using the boundary element method
Tezer, Münevver (2005-03-18)
A boundary element solution is given for a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow problem in a rectangular duct having insulating walls, in terms of velocity and induced magnetic field. The coupled velocity and magnetic field equations are first transformed into decoupled nonhomogeneous convection-diffusion type equations and then finding particular solutions, the homogeneous equations are solved using the boundary element method (BEM). The fundamental solutions of the decoupled homogeneous equations themselves are...
Numerical solution of buoyancy MHD flow with magnetic potential
Pekmen, B.; Tezer, Münevver (2014-04-01)
In this study, dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is applied for solving the unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid in channels under the effect of an externally applied magnetic field and buoyancy force. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations are coupled with the energy equation due to the heat transfer by means of the Boussinessq approximation. Then, the 20 non-dimensional full MHD equations in terms of stream function, temperature, magnetic potential, curren...
Numerical calculation of rough turbulent boundary layer for incompressible fluids
Atay, Görkem; Bayer, Özgür; Çıray, Cahit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
In this thesis, a numerical code for calculating turbulent boundary layer parameters is developed. Two-dimensional turbulent flow over a rough flat plate with zero pressure gradient is numerically solved by using the integral method. Fluid mechanics formulations, such as momentum integral equation are coupled with the results of Nikuradse’s experiment. Throughout the calculation, turbulent boundary layer parameters, such as boundary layer thickness, displacement thickness, momentum thickness, local skin-fri...
Numerical modelling of spatio-temporal patterns in a DC-driven gas discharge-semiconductor system
Özden, Gözde; Rafatov, İsmail; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Scientific Computing (2015)
In this thesis, numerical modelling of temporal and spatial pattern formation in the planar layered system, consisted of a DC driven planar gas discharge layer, coupled to high ohmic semiconductor layer, is carried out in 1D and 2D Cartesian geometry. Numerical model includes continuity equations for ions and electrons, the Poisson equation for the electric field, the energy balance equation for the background gas. The conditions correspond to a transition from the Townsend regime to the glow discharge. Cal...
