The Johnson-King turbulence model [1; AIAA Paper 84-0175 (1984)] as extended to three-dimensional flows was evaluated using a finite-difference boundary-layer direct method. Calculations were compared against the experimental data of the well-known van den Berg-Elsenaar [2; Report NLR-TR-72092U (1972)] incompressible flow over an infinite swept-wing, as well as with some other boundary-layer methods. The Johnson-King turbulence model, which includes the non-equilibrium effects in a developing turbulent boundary layer, was found to significantly improve the predictive quality of a direct boundary-layer method. The improvement was especially visible in the computations with increased three-dimensionality of the mean flow, larger integral parameters and decreasing eddy-viscosity and shear-stress magnitudes in the streamwise direction; all in better agreement with the experiment than simple mixing-length-based methods.

Assessment of a frequency-domain linearised Euler solver for turbofan aft radiation predictions and comparison with measurements Özyörük, Yusuf (2010-03-31) This paper presents a frequency-domain computational aeroacoustics tool for predicting aft noise radiation through turbofan ducts and jets and its application to two realistic engine exhaust configurations which have been experimentally tested. The tool is based on the discretised axisymmetric form of the linearised Euler equations in conjunction with perfectly matched layer equations at the inlet and far-field boundaries using high-order finite differences. The resultant linear system of equations is inver...
Numerical investigation of flow and scour around a vertical circular cylinder Baykal, Cüneyt; Fuhrman, D. R.; Jacobsen, N. G.; Fredsoe, J. (The Royal Society, 2015-01-28) Flow and scour around a vertical cylinder exposed to current are investigated by using a three-dimensional numerical model based on incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The model incorporates (i) k-omega turbulence closure, (ii) vortex-shedding processes, (iii) sediment transport (both bed and suspended load), as well as (iv) bed morphology. The influence of vortex shedding and suspended load on the scour are specifically investigated. For the selected geometry and flow conditions, it i...
Autonomous quadrotor flight with vision-based obstacle avoidance in virtual environment Eresen, Aydin; Imamoglu, Nevrez; Efe, Mehmet Onder (Elsevier BV, 2012-01-01) In this paper, vision-based autonomous flight with a quadrotor type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is presented. Automatic detection of obstacles and junctions are achieved by the use of optical flow velocities. Variation in the optical flow is used to determine the reference yaw angle. Path to be followed is generated autonomously and the path following process is achieved via a PID controller operating as the low level control scheme. Proposed method is tested in the Google Earth (R) virtual environment fo...
Aerodynamic validation studies on the performance analysis of iced wind turbine blades YIRTICI, ÖZCAN; Cengiz, Kenan; Özgen, Serkan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (Elsevier BV, 2019-10-15) Ice accretion on wind turbine blades distorts blade profiles and causes degradation in the aerodynamic characteristic of the blades. In this study ice accretion on turbine blades are simulated under various icing conditions, and the resulting power losses are estimated. The Blade Element Momentum method is employed together with an ice accretion prediction methodology based on the Extended Messinger model in a parallel computing environment. The predicted iced profiles are first validated with the experimen...
Mathematical modeling of horizontal two-phase flow through fully eccentric annuli Ömürlü, Çiğdem; Özbayoğlu, Evren; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2006) The primary objective of this study is to understand the mechanism, the hydraulics and the characteristics, of the two-phase flow in horizontal annuli. While achieving this goal, both theoretical and experimental works have been conducted extensively. The METU-PETE-CTMFL (Middle East Technical University, Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering Department, Cuttings Transport and Multiphase Flow Laboratory) multiphase flow loop consists of 4.84 m long eccentric horizontal acrylic pipes having 0.1143m inner dia...
