Flow characterization of full, partial, and inclined ground effect Koçak, Göktuğ; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Nalbantoğlu, Volkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016) Flight condition of helicopters proximity to the ground, so-called “Ground Effect”, is among one of the most recent research areas since the aerodynamic performance of these vehicles significantly vary due to the flow dynamics associated with the interaction between the rotor and the surface. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of the rotor wake during in and out of ground effect is needed to improve the flight performance. Helicopters operate in ground effect in many different ways including full ground, p...
Flow Characterization of Viscoelastic Fluids around Square Obstacle Tezel, Guler Bengusu; YAPICI, Kerim; Uludağ, Yusuf (Periodica Polytechnica Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 2019-01-01) This study focuses on the computational implementation of structured non-uniform finite volume method for the 2-D laminar flow of viscoelastic fluid past a square section of cylinder in a confined channel with a blockage ratio 1/4 for Re = 10(-)(4), 5, 10 and 20. Oldroyd-B model (constant viscosity with elasticity) and the PTT model (shear-thinning with elasticity) are the constitutive models considered. In this study effects of the elasticity and inertia on the drag coefficients and stress fields around th...

Flow structure and thickness of annular downflow layer in a circulating fluidized bed riser Kim, SW; Külah, Görkem; Bi, HT; Lim, CJ; Grace, JR (2004-04-08) Flow structures were determined in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) riser (0.203 m i.d. x 5.9 m high) of FCC particles (d(p)=70 mum, rho(s)= 1700 kg/m(3)). A momentum probe was used to measure radial momentum flux profiles at several levels and to distinguish between upward and downward flow regions. Time-mean dynamic pressure (DeltaP(m)) decreases towards the wall in the range U-g=5-8 m/s, G(s)=10-340 kg/m(2) s. The thickness of the annular downflow layer based on DeltaP(m)=0 reaches a maximum with increa...
Flow visualization and determination of temperature distribution in inclined channels Sağlamcı, Abdülaziz Mehmet; Bayer, Özgür; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018) Subway transportation systems play an important role in human life in this century. Millions of people make use of subway transportation every day in metropolises. In subways, there is a very crucial situation "case of fire and smoke generation" that must be prevented. In subway areas, it is known that stairs are used to connect the ground with the subway area, metro stations in other words. Stairs have an angle with the ground horizontal called as tilt angle. The most important case of smoke movement in ca...
