Predictive accuracy of the method-of-lines (MOL) solution of discrete ordinates method (DOM) for transient problems was examined by applying it to a 1D test problem and comparing its steady state solution with the analytical solution of DOM reported previously. Results were found to be in good agreement. Predictions of the MOL solution of DOM were then compared with those obtained by applying the finite volume method (FVM) to the same test problem. The results of both methods were benchmarked against the exact solution of radiative transfer equation (RTE) on the same test problem. For the same number of spatial and angular subdivisions employed in both methods, the MOL solution of DOM was found to be superior to the FVM particularly in optically thin media.

Comparison of Bayesian MAP Estimation and Kalman Filter Methods in the Solution of Spatio-Temporal Inverse ECG Problem Aydin, Umit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2009-09-12) In this study, spatial only, and spatio-temporal Bayesian Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) methods and an another spatio-temporal method, the Kalman filter approach, are used to solve the inverse electrocardiography (ECG) problem. Training sets are used to obtain the required a priori information for all methods. Two different approaches are employed to calculate the state transition matrix (STM), which maps the epicardial potentials in two consecutive time instants in the Kalman filter method. The first one uses...
Optimization of onshore steel drilling rigs using the convergence rate approach integrated metaheuristic search algorithms Salatin, Reza; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Mertol, Halit Cenan; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Despite the exceptional ability of the metaheuristics in locating the optimum solution of discrete optimization problems, the volume of the required analyses through these methods is burdensome. Optimization of large-scale structures having numerous load cases, as well as complex geometries, therefore, is not considered practical in construction industry. In current study, however, an effort has been made to pave the way for the industrialization of the structural optimization by enabling the traditional me...
Assessment of discrete ordinates method for radiative transfer in cylindrical furnaces Selçuk, Nevin (1997-07-01) The solution accuracy of S-n or Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM) was assessed by comparing its predictions with exact solutions reported earlier on a cylindrical enclosure problem with steep temperature gradients. The enclosure has interior black walls and an absorbing-emitting medium of constant properties. Predictive accuracy was investigated for two angular quadrature schemes: 1) the S-n discrete ordinates approximation (S-2 and S-4) and 2) the modified piecewise constant angular (PCA) approximation. Comp...
Evaluation of Hypersingular Integrals on Non-planar Surfaces Selcuk, Gokhun; Koç, Seyit Sencer (2014-05-16) Solving electric field integral equation (EFIE) with Nystrom method requires accurate evaluation of hypersingular surface integrals since this method does not use divergence conforming basis and testing functions. The success of the method also depends on accurate representation of non-planar characteristics of the scattering object. In this study Hadamard finite part interpretation is used to evaluate hypersingular integrals over non-planar surfaces, which are represented by their Taylor series expansions....
Evaluation of discrete ordinates method for radiative transfer in rectangular furnaces Selçuk, Nevin (1997-01-01) The discrete ordinates method (DOM) and discrete transfer method (DTM) were evaluated from the viewpoints of both predictive accuracy and computational economy by comparing their predictions with exact solutions available from a box-shaped enclosure problem with steep temperature gradients. Comparative testing shows that the S-4 approximation produces better accuracy in radiative energy source term than in flux density in three orders of magnitude less CPU time than that required by the DTM. The S-4 approxi...
