This study explores the flow field and fluid-dynamic loads generated by revolving low-aspect-ratio wings. The pressure field and load characteristics are successfully reconstructed from the phase-locked tomographic measurements in three independently measured volumes along the span of the wing. The vortical structures encompass a low pressure region and the spatial gradient information of the pressure field provides greater insights in their stability mechanisms. The low pressure region associated with the leading edge vortex and its close position to the wing surface are responsible for the high resultant forces acting on the wing. Simultaneous force measurements show a reasonable agreement with the reconstructed loads. The sectional lift and drag characteristics provide greater insights into the distributed load mechanisms along the span.

Determination of critical submergence depth at horizontal intakes Haspolat, Emre; Göğüş, Mustafa; Köken, Mete; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) The purpose of the study is to investigate the formation of air entraining vortices under both symmetrical and asymmetrical approach flow conditions in an experimental setup of a horizontal water intake structure composed of a reservoir-pipe system. To determine at which critical submergence the air entraining vortices forming; a series of experiments were conducted in the experimental setup with horizontal pipes of four different diameters. Approach channel side walls of the intake structure model are adju...
Measurement of leading and trailing edge vortex shedding mechanism for flapping airfoil in hover using particle image velocimetry technique Çekinmez, Aybüge; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) In this thesis, the vortex shedding formation/mechanism for flapping airfoil making the figure of eight motion in hover is investigated experimentally using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique and numerically for some parameters determined. For this investigation, a new flapping mechanism is designed and implemented to the existing water tank, where the airfoil is traversed laterally, such that the motion depicts a figure of eight. The traversing system is moved both in x (horizontal) and y (vertical...
Analysis of the pressure fields in a swirling annular jet flow Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, B. W. (2017-12-01) In this paper, we investigate the flow structures and pressure fields of a free annular swirling jet flow undergoing vortex breakdown. The flow field is analyzed by means of time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry measurements, which enable the reconstruction of the three-dimensional time-resolved pressure fields using the governing flow equations. Both time-averaged and instantaneous flow structures are discussed, including a characterization of the first-and second-order statistical moments. ...
Flow characteristics of translating flexible wings at low reynolds numbers Yazdanpanah, Mahdi; Perçin, Mustafa; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) This study experimentally investigates the flow field around surging-translating wings that are started from rest and compares the flow field characteristics with that of surging-revolving wings. Three wings with different level of chordwise flexural stiffness (i.e., highly flexible, moderately flexible and rigid) were studied. The experiments were performed in an octagonal water tank at the Reynold number of 7360 based on the terminal velocity of 0.08 m/s, and the wing chord length of 92 mm. Two-dimensiona...
Design, fabrication and characterization of an ultrabroadband metamaterial absorber using bismuth in the near infrared region Özbay, İmre; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) In this study, the design-fabrication-characterization cycle of an ultra-broadband metamaterial absorber structure operating in the near infrared (NIR) is presented. The area of plasmonic metamaterial based broadband and ultra-broadband absorbers has been commenced less than ten years ago and such absorbers have quickly found applications in many areas including light harvesting, sensing, infrared imaging and very recently plasmonic hot electron mediated photochemistry. In this thesis, an ultrabroadband bis...
