Solenoidal bases for numerical studies of transition in pipe flow

In this paper, solenoidal basis functions are employed in numerical studies of transition in incompressible pipe flow. The bases are formulated in terms of Legendre polynomials, which are more favorable both for the functional form of the basis functions and for the inner product integrals arising in the Galerkin projection scheme. The projection is performed onto the dual solenoidal basis set to eliminate the pressure gradient term from the governing equations. This simplifies the numerical approach to the problem and the resulting scheme is used to study the nonlinear stability of pipe flow. Some preliminary results are compared with those found in the literature.

NUMERICAL STABILITY OF RBF APPROXIMATION FOR UNSTEADY MHD FLOW EQUATIONS
Gurbuz, Merve; Tezer, Münevver (2019-01-01)
In this study, the radial basis function (RBF) approximation is applied for solving the unsteady fluid flow and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convection flow problems with the use of explicit Euler time discretization and relaxation parameters to accelerate the convergence. The stability analysis is also carried out in terms of the spectral radius of related RBF discretized coefficient matrices. The optimal choices of the time increment, relaxation parameters and physical problem parameters are found for achiev...
Direct numerical simulation of pipe flow using a solenoidal spectral method
Tugluk, Ozan; Tarman, Işık Hakan (2012-05-01)
In this study, a numerical method based on solenoidal basis functions, for the simulation of incompressible flow through a circular-cylindrical pipe, is presented. The solenoidal bases utilized in the study are formulated using the Legendre polynomials. Legendre polynomials are favorable, both for the form of the basis functions and for the inner product integrals arising from the Galerkin-type projection used. The projection is performed onto the dual solenoidal bases, eliminating the pressure variable, si...
Real-Time Detection of Interharmonics and Harmonics of AC Electric Arc Furnaces on GPU Framework
Uz-Logoglu, Eda; Salor, Ozgul; Ermiş, Muammer (2017-10-05)
In this paper, a method based on the multiple synchronous reference frame (MSRF) analysis is recommended and implemented to detect time-varying harmonics and interharmonics of rapidly fluctuating asymmetrical industrial loads. The experimental work has been carried out on a typical three-phase alternating current arc furnace (AC EAF) installation. In the recommended method, the reference frame is rotated in both directions at speeds corresponding to the positive and negative sequences of all harmonics and a...

Regular Polygonal and Regular Spherical Polyhedral Linkages Comprising Bennett Loops
Kiper, Goekhan; Söylemez, Eres (2009-05-08)
In this study, assemblies of Bennett loops constructing regular polygonal linkages and regular polyhedral linkages are presented. The regular polyhedral linkages, necessarily, depend on spherical polyhedral shapes. Most of the resulting linkages have single degree of freedom, but there are exceptions such as a cubic linkage.
