In this study, physical and numerical test are carried out focusing on the motion of two solid spheres under solitary wave attack. The numerical model CADMAS-SURF/3D-2F-DEM coupling a multiphase flow solver solving Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations based on a porous body model and a discrete element method solver for Newton’s equations of motion is validated against the data of physical model experiments carried out in the wave flume of METU Ocean Engineering Research Center. Comparisons of the numerical simulations and physical model experiments show that the numerical model is capable of simulating the motion of solid spheres under solitary wave attack in a reasonably well accuracy. © 2018 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

Numerical modelling of wave-structure interaction problems through cfd methods
Güler, Hasan Gökhan; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2020)
The major focus of this study is the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling of wave-structure interaction problems. In the first part of this study, the performance of Haydarpaşa Breakwater under tsunami attack is assessed both experimentally and numerically. It is concluded that the major failure mechanism of this breakwater is the sliding of the crown-wall, and the stability of the stones located at the harbour side is also significant. Design recommendations are given based on the stability of the ...
Elliptical Pin Fins as an Alternative to Circular Pin Fins for Gas Turbine Blade Cooling Applications Part 2 Wake Flow Field Measurements and Visualization Using Particle Image Velocimetry
Uzol, Oğuz (null; 2001-06-07)
Extensive wake flow field measurements and visualizations are conducted using particle image velocimetry (PIV) inside the wakes of the elliptical and circular pin fin arrays in order to better understand the flow physics and the loss mechanisms of these devices. The true-mean velocity field inside the wake two diameters downstream of the pin fin arrays is obtained by collecting and ensemble averaging a large number of PIV samples in the midplane of the test section. Additional experiments are also conducted...
Online EM algorithm for joint state and mixture measurement noise estimation
Zhao, Yuxin; Yin, Feng; Gunnarsson, Fredrik; Amirijoo, Mehdi; Özkan, Emre; Gustafsson, Fredrik (null; 2012-07-09)
In this study, we aim to estimate the unknown multimodal measurement noise distribution of nonlinear state space models. The unknown noise distribution is modeled as a mixture of exponential family of distributions. We use the ExpectationMaximization (EM) method in order to jointly estimate the unknown parameters as well as the states. The online version of the EM algorithm is implemented by using particle filtering techniques. The resulting algorithm is a noise adaptive particle filter which is applicable ...
Nanoscale Thermal Transport in Single, Bilayer Graphene, and Graphite
Gholivand, Hamed; Donmezer, Nazli (2016-10-12)
In this study, ab-initio calculations were performed to obtain phonon dispersions of single, bilayer graphene, and graphite structures. Using these dispersions single mode relaxation times, thermal conductivities, and mean free paths (MFPs) have been calculated. Finally, calculated variables were used to understand the effects of additional layers to thermophysical properties, phonon mode contributions to thermal conductivity, and the limits for ballistic-diffusive heat transfer of single, bilayer graphene,...
Experimental investigation on sharp-crested rectangular weirs
Gharahjeh, Siamak; Aydın, İsmail; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
This study is an experimental research to formulate the discharge over sharp-crested rectangular weirs. Firstly, a series of measurements on different weir heights were conducted to find the minimum weir height for which channel bed friction has no effect on discharge capacity. After determining the appropriate weir height, weir width was reduced to collect data on discharge-water head over weir relationship for a variety of different weir openings. Then, the data was analyzed through regression analysis al...
