Açıkgöz, Hande Nur; Özer, Mehmet Bülent; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020-12-28)
Acoustophoretic microfluidic applications are an essential part of Lab-on-a-chip systems. Studies about acoustophoretic particle manipulation are available in the literature. However, conventional analytical methods fall short of including many factors affecting acoustophoretic manipulation of biological samples when applied to biological systems. Therefore, numerical methods become useful tools to investigate the phenomena to a larger extent. This thesis aims to analyze t...
Numerical Study of Resonant Optical Parametric Amplification via Gain Factor Optimization in Dispersive Microresonators
Asirim, Ozum Emre; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2020-03-01)
The achievement of wideband high-gain optical parametric amplification has not been shown in micrometer-scale cavities. In this paper we have computationally investigated the optical parametric amplification process in a few micrometer-long dispersive microresonator. By performing a gain medium resonance frequency dependent analysis of optical parametric amplification, we have found that it is possible to achieve a wideband high-gain optical amplification in a dispersive microresonator. In order to account ...
Numerical Study of Chipless Tags for Radio-Frequency-Identification (RFID) Applications
Cetin, Elif; ŞAHİN, MELİN; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-01-01)
We present a numerical investigation of effective chipless tags for radio-frequency-identification (RFID) applications. Chipless tags have been introduced recently as alternatives to standard tags with microchips. While they can significantly reduce the overall cost of RFID systems by eliminating microchips and procedures to mount them on tags, chipless tags bring new challenges, especially in terms of identification reliability. We focus on tag structures that consist of resonators and consider alternative...
Numerical investigation of circulating fluidized bed riser hydrodynamics for concentrating solar thermal receiver applications
Bilyaz, Serhat; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
Various heat transfer fluids and thermal storage materials are considered for concentrating solar power systems to improve the storage capability of the system which compensates the fluctuating behavior of the solar resources. Solid particles can be a good alternative since they have high sensible heat capacity. In addition, they are cheap, environmentally benign and chemically and mechanically stable at high temperatures. In this thesis, hydrodynamics of circulating fluidized bed solar receiver was numeric...
Numerical Investigation of Nano-Cavities for Optimal Power Absorption in Solar Cells
Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Topcuoglu, Ulas; Tuygar, Emre; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2018-06-01)
We present a numerical study of nano-cavities used in solar cells for energy harvesting, by employing surface integral equations based on Maxwell's equations in the frequency domain and an efficient solver based on the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). With the three-dimensional modeling of surfaces, we obtain accurate results to evaluate the performances of different structures for improved power absorption in solar cells. This paper includes a brief description of the developed solver and initi...
