Acoustic wave propagation in the pulmonary system and torso is simulated by coupling a numerical acoustic boundary element model that predicts sound propagation throughout the solid tissues with a proven comprehensive analytical model for sound wave propagation in the airways of the bronchial tree that is valid up to at least 2 kHz. This approach enables modeling various pathologies that result in structural changes in the lung and/or changes in breath sound source and strength. The model may be also used to predict the resulting acoustic changes measured by acoustic sensors, e.g., stethoscopes, accelerometers, or other skin‐contact sensors. Experimental studies in a novel lung phantom model are used to partially validate the computational model. This study focuses on low audible frequencies, i.e., less than 2 kHz. This range encompasses naturally generated respiratory sounds that have been shown to have diagnostic value, as well as externally‐introduced vibro‐acoustic stimuli used for diagnosis.

Computational study of flapping airfoil aerodynamics Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2000-05-01) Unsteady, viscous, low-speed flows over a NACA 0012 airfoil oscillated in plunge and/or pitch at various reduced frequency, amplitude, and phase shift are computed. Vortical wake formations, boundary-layer flows at the leading edge, the formation of leading-edge vortices and their downstream convection are presented in terms of unsteady particle traces. Flow separation characteristics and thrust-producing wake profiles are identified. Computed results compare well with water tunnel flow visualization and fo...
Super-Gain Optical Parametric Amplification in Dielectric Micro-Resonators via BFGS Algorithm-Based Non-Linear Programming Asirim, Ozum Emre; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2020-03-01) The goal of this paper is to show that super-gain optical parametric amplification can be achieved even in a small micro-resonator using high-intensity ultrashort pump waves, provided that the frequencies of the ultrashort pulses are tuned to maximize the intracavity magnitude of the wave to be amplified, which we call the stimulus wave. In order to accomplish this, we have performed a dispersion analysis via computational modeling of the electric polarization density in terms of the non-linear electron clo...
Numerical analysis of radio frequency inductively coupled ion thruster and computation of its performance parameters Bozkurt, Erdal; Alemdaroğlu, Nafiz.; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) The main goal of this thesis is geometric and parametric analysis of a simulated cylin-drical two-gridded Radio Frequency Inductively Coupled (RF-ICP) ion thruster. Inaddition, instrumental performance of this thruster and the effects of a fixed shapeof the electrodes on ion trajectories are investigated. The simulations of the plasmaand the ion optics are performed by using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The firststep is checking the reliability of the software. Radial and axial simulation parametricresults...
Computational simulation and realization of three-dimensional metamaterials with various exotic properties İbili, Hande; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this study, computational analysis and realization of three-dimensional metamaterial structures that induce negative and zero permittivity and/or permeability values in their host environment, as well as plasmonic nanoparticles that are used to design metamaterials at optical frequencies are presented. All these electromagnetic problems are challenging since effective material properties become negative/zero, while numerical solvers are commonly developed for ordinary positive parameters. In real life, t...
Numerical evidence of spontaneous division of dissipative solitons in a planar gas discharge-semiconductor system Rafatov, İsmail (AIP Publishing, 2019-09-01) This work deals with the formation of patterns of spatially localized solitary objects in a planar semiconductor gas-discharge system with a high Ohmic electrode. These objects, known as dissipative solitons, are generated in this system in the form of self-organized current filaments, which develop from the homogeneous stationary state by the Turing bifurcation. The numerical model reveals, for the first time, evidence of spontaneous division of the current filaments in this system, similar to that observe...
