The purpose of this study is to model hypersonic flow around blunt body especially in atmospheric reentry of Earth. The more detailed model contains each energy transformation between each energy modes and all reactions. To simulate flow field region, thermal and chemical nonequilibrium must be considered all together. For the chemical nonequilibrium, species masses production of reactions must be characterized with suitable model. In this study, flow analysis based on the finite rate chemical reaction equations. Flow field region is assumed as continuum. Also flow is considered as inviscid and there is no diffusion. Computation of flow field is based on the axisymmetric Euler code. Coupled equations, chemical and thermal nonequilibrium equations are solved by using Newton's method. Jacobian matrices are calculated analytically. In the design part, aim is to obtain reduced pressure drag while keeping the body as blunt. Optimization results for various situations are represented.

Modeling kinetics and thermodynamics of amine based fuel and oxidizer interactions Özkan Özer, Melike; Üner, Deniz; Aviyente, Viktorya; Department of Chemical Engineering (2021-9) This study is conducted to develop a model for the parameters that determine the ignition delay time during hypergolic combustion of liquid bipropellants in rocket engines. Hypergolic combustion utilizes the heat of mixing between the fuel and the oxidizer for ignition. A model study is conducted in order to understand the role of heat of mixing on the final temperature and final distribution of species between a vapor and a liquid phase. Water and nitric acid were selected as model compounds, due to ...
Numerical and experimental investigation of direct connected ramjet test facility Esirgen, Başar; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Ak, Mehmet Ali; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) The main objective of this study is to make a numerical model of direct connected ramjet test facility which is used for ground tests of supersonic air breathing propulsion systems. Conceptual design of a direct connected ramjet test facility is performed. 1 dimensional transient numerical model is made according to this conceptual design. Numerical model is made by using 1 dimensional computational fluid dynamic code FLOWNEX. Validation of the numerical model is performed by comparison of test data. After ...
Numerical simulation of ice accretion and consequent power loss estimation in wind turbine blades Özgen, Serkan; Berker, Ayşe Meriç; Çakmak, Ali (null; 2019-07-01) The aim of this study is to simulate atmospheric ice accretion on wind turbine blades and to estimate power losses. A computational tool is developed that comprises six modules, one for estimating the local flow velocity and the angle of attack using the Blade Element Momentum Method (BEM), one for solving the flow field employing the Panel Method, one for computing the droplet trajectories with the Lagrangian approach, a module for calculating the convective heat transfer coefficients using the Integral Bo...
Consequences of accelerated weathering in polylactide nanocomposites reinforced with halloysite nanotubes Kaynak, Cevdet (2016-02-01) The purpose of this study was to explore consequences of accelerated weathering on the behavior of polylactide/halloysite nanotube composites. Nanocomposites were compounded by melt mixing method via a twin-screw extruder while specimens for testing and analyses were shaped by injection molding. Behaviors of the specimens were compared before weathering and after exposure to UV irradiation and humidity steps according to Cycle-C of ISO 4892-3 standards for a total duration of 300h. IR studies revealed that ...
Investigation of digital elevation model uncertainty in GIS-based solar radiation models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation Ismaila, Abdur-Rahman Belel; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Ediger, Volkan; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2013) In this study, a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation approach that incorporates digital elevation model's (DEM) spatial autocorrelation is developed with the aim of assessing the impact of DEM uncertainty in GIS-based solar radiation models. The method utilized the error probability distribution function (pdf) of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM, and variogram model parameters of the study area's SRTM DEM as a priori information for the formulation of Metropolis-Hasting algorithm. Statisti...
