In this study, we investigated the performance of 2D simulations to predict the droplet sizes under varying flow conditions. Simple 2D models are lacking in presenting correct results because the top and bottom wall boundaries are excluded despite their significant effect on the flow construction. Here, we added an extra drag term representing the pressure drop due to the resistance of these boundaries to the Navier-Stokes equation. We compared the modified 2D model with the 3D model and experimental data, realized by using PDMS microdevices. The experimental droplet dimensions were well-matched with the numeric results, which suggests accurate modeling of droplet formation for a high degree of control over drop size.

Algorithm Overview and Design for Mixed Effects Models Koca, Burcu; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya (2021-06-06) Linear Mixed Model (LMM) is an extended regression method that is used for longitudinal data which has repeated measures within the individual. It is natural to expect high correlation between these repeats over a period of time for the same individual. Since classical approaches may fail to cover these correlations, LMM handles this significant concern by introducing random effect terms in the model. Besides its flexible structure in terms of modeling, LMM has several application areas such as clinical tri...
2D simulation studies and initial experimental results for hall effect imaging / Gözü, Mehmet Soner; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) In this thesis, 2D simulation studies of Hall Effect Imaging (HEI) technique using linear phased array transducer are performed and initial experimental results are obtained. The goal of HEI is to image the conductivity distribution in biological bodies. For this purpose, HEI uses the interaction of ultrasound with a static magnetic field to generate velocity current density distribution inside the body. Due to the velocity current density, a resultant voltage is sensed by electrodes attached on the surface...
Robust estimation in multivariate heteroscedastic regression models with autoregressive covariance structures using EM algorithm GÜNEY, YEŞİM; ARSLAN, OLÇAY; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya (2022-09-01) © 2022 Elsevier Inc.In the analysis of repeated or clustered measurements, it is crucial to determine the dynamics that affect the mean, variance, and correlations of the data, which will be possible using appropriate models. One of these models is the joint mean–covariance model, which is a multivariate heteroscedastic regression model with autoregressive covariance structures. In these models, parameter estimation is usually carried on under normality assumption, but the resulting estimators will be very ...
Aerodynamic Analyses of Thick Wind Turbine Airfoils for High Reynolds Numbers ASLAN, EZGİ; Orbay Akcengiz, Ezgi; Sezer Uzol, Nilay (2021-09-08) In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of flow around thick have been performed. Thick airfoils are generally preferred in wind turbine blades for structural and aerodynamic performances. High Reynolds flows around thick airfoils are one of the challenging problems in wind turbine blade design due to turbulent, separated and complex flow field characteristics. In the CFD analyses, both 2-D RANS simulation approach on structured computational grids is considered. Grid sensitivity study is al...
Assessment of performance of interpolation methods for temporal resolution of wind data on wave modelling Ak, Gülçe Hazal; Özyurt Tarakcıoğlu, Gülizar; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) In this thesis, the performance of different interpolation techniques for wind hindcasting have been assessed and a computer model based study have been performed on its effects on wave hindcasting. Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) dataset between 1979 and 2010 is used for long term time series analysis and extreme event analysis in Black Sea region. The aims are to obtain new dataset using the existing dataset, to determine the reliability of statistical analysis of winds and to evaluate the error...
