Some unresolved problems related to Richardson extrapolation (RE) are elucidated via examples, and possible remedies are suggested. The method is applied to the case of turbulent flow past a backward facing step using nonuniform grid distributions. It is demonstrated that RE can be used to obtain grid independent solutions using the same grid refinement factors in both coordinate directions. The use of generalized wall functions together with the standard k-epsilon model seems to work well even if the grid refinement extends into the viscous sublayer. In addition, the grid convergence index and other standard uncertainty measures are compared and a new uncertainty measure is suggested which seems to be a better indicator for the grid convergence error.

Optoelectrochemical properties of poly(5,12-dihydrothieno[3 ',4 ':2,3][1,4] dioxocino[6,7-b]quinoxaline-co-2,2 ' bithiophene) and its electrochromic device application Ak, Metin; Ak, Mine Sulak; GÜLLÜ, Mustafa; Toppare, Levent Kamil (IOP Publishing, 2007-12-01) In this study we investigated the electrochromic properties and electrochromic device application of poly(5,12-dihydrothieno[3',4':2,3][1,4]dioxocino[6,7-b]quinoxaline (DDQ)-co-2,2'-bithiophene (13T)). Copolymerization was successfully achieved electrochemically in acetonitrile containing 0.1 M tetrabutyl ammonium tetrafluoroborate as the supporting electrolyte by direct anodic oxidation on platinum and indium tin oxide coated glass electrodes. The structure and morphology of the copolymer were investigated...
Investigation of fracture behavior of steel/steel laminates Şimşir, Mehmet; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004) A study is carried out into fracture behavior of steel/steel laminates both experimentally and through finite element analysis (FEM). The laminates produced by hot pressing consisted of low carbon and medium carbon steels with two volume fractions; 0.41 and 0.81. Fracture toughness, JIC has been measured using partial unloading technique assuming a critical value of crack extension. The technique is initially applied to monolithic material and then to the laminates in crack divider orientation. Evaluation o...
A FURTHER COMPARISON AND DISCUSSION OF SUNSHINE-BASED MODELS TO ESTIMATE GLOBAL SOLAR-RADIATION Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin (Elsevier BV, 1990-10-01) In this paper, five sunshine-based correlations, namely, Benson et al, Gopinathan, Ögelman et al, Zabara and our new quadratic correlation are evaluated in terms of predictive accuracy. The data for 67 stations, ranging in altitude between 3 and 2210 m and in latitude between 20.15 °S and 53.30 °N, have been used. The new solar constant 1367 W m−2 is used in the analysis. The overall results show that the correlations of Benson et al and Gopinathan fall in the second rank and that the difference in estimat...
Analysis of the Junction Properties of C/GaSe<sub>0.5</sub>S<sub>0.5</sub>/C Back-to-Back Schottky-Type Photodetectors Khanfar, Hazem K.; Qasrawi, Atef F.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015-4) In this paper, a C/GaSe0.5S0.5/C metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector is suggested and described. The device is explored by means of current-voltage and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics under different photoexcitation intensities. It was observed that the design of the back-to-back Schottky device has reduced the dark current of the normal Ag/GaSe0.5S0.5/C Schottky diode by 13 times and increased the photosensitivity from 3.8 to similar to 2.1x10(3). The device exhibited a barrier height of 0.84...
Linear Analysis of Zero-Lift Pitching Moment Coefficient and Gravity Effects on Missile Autopilots Ovec, Naz T.; Erer, Koray S.; Kutay, Ali Türker (2015-03-14) The most of the studies on disturbance rejection are covered with robust control methods, where this paper suggests a narrowed but a more simplified linear model based technique to assess the robustness of the controllers. In this paper presented, the problems originated from the disturbances are aimed to be obtained as far in advance as possible. The method used in this work reduces the iterative fine tuning time course between the non-linear simulation and the linear model; hence it enhances the authority...
