Objective of this study is to develop a scaling method that produces scaled ice accretions over a range of test conditions and to validate it for icing wind tunnel tests. A method for size and test-condition scaling that is based on similitudes of geometry, flow field, droplet trajectory, water catch, energy balance and surface water dynamics is validated using ANSYS® Fluent 18.0 CFD tool and icing code FENSAP-ICE. The ice shapes obtained are verified with experimental data and the scaling method is tested for several Appendix-C conditions. Comparisons of the reference and scaled results show agreement.

Evaluation of aggregate size effect on asphalt mixture homogeneity using image analysis
Yücel, Ayhan Öner; Güler, Murat (null; 2018-10-12)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate effect of aggregate size fractions on asphalt mixture inhomogeneity by means of a proposed inhomogeneity test method. The study of inhomogeneity is conducted using 2-dimensional, vertical section images of asphalt concrete specimens that are produced using the Superpave gyratory compactor. Mixture inhomogeneity is evaluated based on aggregates distribution because aggregates are the primary constituent governing the inhomogeneity level of asphalt mixtures during the ...
Development of test structures and methods for characterization of MEMS materials
Yıldırım, Ender; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
This study concerns with the testing methods for mechanical characterization at micron scale. The need for the study arises from the fact that the mechanical properties of materials at micron scale differ compared to their bulk counterparts, depending on the microfabrication method involved. Various test structures are designed according to the criteria specified in this thesis, and tested for this purpose in micron scale. Static and fatigue properties of the materials are aimed to be extracted through the ...
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 ...
Geotechnical characterization and performance assessment of bentonite/sand mixtures for underground waste repository sealing
Akgün, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 2010-08-01)
The objective of this study is to assess the performance of a bentonite/sand mixture for the sealing of underground waste repositories through performing geotechnical laboratory tests such as compaction and flow tests. Swelling, mechanical and shear strength tests along with analyses of seal/rock mechanical interactions of an axially loaded seal in rock have been conducted to recommend an optimum compacted bentonite/sand mixture and a suitable bentonite/sand seal length-to-radius ratio (L/a) as a function o...
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 ...
