This paper presents a hybrid method based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) with a trained radial basis function (RBF) network, on direct simulation monte carlo (DSMC) solutions for aerothermodynamic front surface optimization of Stardust re-entry. Gaussian and multiquadric RBFs are implemented for comparison, and multiquadric functions are chosen due to their insensitivity to diverse shape parameters. Cubic uniform B-spline curves are used innovatively for parameterization of the geometry change, instead of curve fitting the geometry itself. This makes possible to reduce the number of design variables. Gradient based optimization strategy is implemented by regarding the distributions of pressure, shear stress and heat flux along the surface of the geometries. G.A. Bird’s two dimensional axisymmetric DSMC solver[1]is used as the physics solver, and 11 species air model are chosen with 41 chemical reactions according to atmospheric conditions of the re-entry. Different geometries are obtained via deviating the design variables arbitrarily to form a snapshot pool. In this manner, the approximation success of the POD-RBF methodology is tested on highly nonlinear flow conditions with arbitrarily chosen design of experiment. Finally, the optimized geometries are simulated via DSMC code and the solutions are compared with the solutions of POD-RBF network. Method lowered the optimization time extraordinarily and provided satisfactory results

Investigation of tightly coupled arrays for wideband applications Arda, Kaan; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-10) This thesis aims to provide in depth research on tightly coupled dipole arrays to be used in ultrawideband apertures applications. First, operation principles of tightly coupled dipole arrays are investigated. Starting from the Wheeler’s current sheet aperture concept, some calculations on bandwidth and impedance concepts are conducted. B.A. Munk’s addition to the concept, use of capacitive elements between adjacent dipoles, are introduced. Array unit cell is modeled using equivalent circuit approach,...
Multiscale Modeling of Thin-Wire Coupling Problems Using Hybridization of Finite Element and Dipole Moment Methods and GPU Acceleration ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2020-01-01) In this article, a hybrid numerical method, called finite element method (FEM) + dipole moment (DM), is presented for efficient solution of multiscale electromagnetic radiation and scattering problems that involve structures with fine features, such as thin-wire antennas or objects. In this method, the FEM is hybridized with the DM approach to help ease certain computational burdens, such as mesh refinement, ill-conditioning, memory overload, and long computation times, when solving multiscale problems with...
Attitude estimation and magnetometer calibration using reconfigurable TRIAD plus filtering approach Söken, Halil Ersin (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01) This paper proposes using TRIAD and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithms in a sequential architecture as a part of a small satellite attitude estimation algorithm. This TRIAD+UKF approach can both provide accurate attitude estimates for the satellite and calibrate the magnetometers in real-time. A complete calibration model for the magnetometers, considering bias, scale factor, soft iron and nonorthogonality errors, is assumed. In the algorithm's first stage, the TRIAD uses the available vector measurem...
