In this study, a new cell agglomeration technique is developed and applied to 1st and 2nd order inviscid/viscous multigrid flow solutions on unstructured/hybrid grids. The grid coarsening required by the multigrid scheme is achieved by agglomerating the unstructured/hybrid cells based on their distribution on a quadtree data structure. The paper presents the coarsening strategy and the multigrid adaptation on inviscid/viscous 2D solutions over a NACA 0012 airfoil section. It is shown that, the quadtree based agglomeration and grid coarsening provides well defined, nested, body fitted coarse grid with optimum aspect ratio cells at all coarse grid levels. In the cases studies, it is observed that, the multigrid flow solutions obtained in this study provide convergence accelerations about 5 to 36 times for low speed inviscid flows and in a range of 3.5 to 71 fold for viscous flows. © 2010 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.

Development of an all speed navier-stokes preconditioner for two and three dimensional flows on hybrid grids Baş, Onur; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015) In this study, a novel Mach uniform preconditioning method is developed for the solution of Euler/Navier-Stokes equations at subsonic and incompressible flow conditions. In contrast to the methods developed earlier in which the conservation of mass equation is preconditioned, the conservation of energy equation is preconditioned in the present method to enforce the divergence free constraint on the velocity field even at the limiting case of incompressible, zero Mach number flows. The proposed Mach-uniform ...
Development of sensitive analytical methods for the determination of thallium at trace levels by slotted quartz tube flame atomic absorption spectrometry Ari, Betul; BAKIRDERE, Sezgin; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01) A simple, sensitive and economical technique is needed for the determination of thallium and this study demonstrates the different analytical strategies were developed using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). In order to improve the sensitivity of flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), a basic slotted quartz tube (SQT) was used for the thallium determination. In the first strategy, mixing propanol (100 mu L) and Tl standard solution (500 mu L) under the optimum conditions, namely solvent assisted S...
Experimental evaluation of cable drum systems as linear motion sensors KILIÇ, ERGİN; Dölen, Melik; Koku, Ahmet Buğra (2011-04-15) This study evaluates cable-drum mechanisms as linear motion sensors for certain CNC applications. In this work, the dynamical attributes of a generic device are studied experimentally. The conducted research indicates that despite the significant traction force induced between the cable and its drum, small fluctuations in mechanism's speed yields a considerable (micro) slip at the interface.
Unified theory of linear instability of anisotropic surfaces and interfaces under capillary, electrostatic, and elastostatic forces: The regrowth of epitaxial amorphous silicon Ogurtani, Tarik Omer (American Physical Society (APS), 2006-10-01) The first-order unified linear instability analysis (LISA) of the governing equation for the evolution of surfaces and interfaces under capillary, electromigration (EM), and elastostatic forces is developed. A formal treatment of the thermomigration (Soret effect) driven by the nonuniform temperature distribution caused by exothermic phase transformation (growth) at the surface and interfacial layers is presented and its apparent influence on the capillary force in connection with the stability is also esta...
Comparison of Dipole-Based and Potential-Based Inverse ECG Solutions for the Localization of Ventricular Pacing Sites Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Zelinka, Jan; Svehlikova, Jana (2021-05-17) Two different inverse methods were applied to the two sets of well-defined data from tank experiments to assess the pacing electrode's position by the inverse solution. The use of a simple dipole as the equivalent heart generator provides only the assessment of the pacing site from the very early time interval of activation. The potential-based inverse solution aims to reconstruct the electrograms using the Bayesian estimation so that it needs prior knowledge about the properties of the cardiac sources. The...
