This work provides a benchmark study regarding the open-source panel method codes of two floating wind turbine platforms. HAMS, NEMOH, and WAMIT are compared in terms of their results, computational performance, user-friendliness, and, flexibility. WAMIT’s data is sourced from previous publications for the OC3 Hywind Spar and OC4 DeepCWind Semisubmersible. These reference values are compared to NEMOH and HAMS for wave excitation forces, added mass values, and potential damping. The study aims to help researchers to choose an open-source alternative to a validated commercial code.

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,...
Experimental Evaluation of Robustness of Panel-Method-Based Path Planning for Urban Air Mobility Ünal, Zeynep; Bronz, Murat; Yavrucuk, İlkay (2022-01-01) In this study, robustness of panel method based path planning algorithm under wind disturbances is evaluated experimentally. Panel method, borrowed from fluid dynamics domain, is a numeric tool for calculating the potential field around arbitrarily shaped objects. Resultant potential field can be used for generating collision free trajectories for uncrewed aerial vehicles with convergence guarantee. Robustness of the proposed method is demonstrated during indoor experiments with a wind generator creating wi...
Development of a two-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver for laminar flows using cartesian grids Şahin, Mehmet Serkan; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) A fully automated Cartesian/Quad grid generator and laminar flow solver have been developed for external flows by using C++. After defining the input geometry by nodal points, adaptively refined Cartesian grids are generated automatically. Quadtree data structure is used in order to connect the Cartesian cells to each other. In order to simulate viscous flows, body-fitted quad cells can be generated optionally. Connectivity is provided by cut and split cells such that the intersection points of Cartesian ce...
Evaluation and Comparisons of the Models to Calculate Solar Irradiation on Inclined Solar Panels for Ankara Özden, Talat; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Karaveli, Abdullah Buğrahan (2017-11-29) In the optimization and feasibility analysis of renewable energy systems, the accuracy of the simulation methods is extremely important. Thus, in the case of solar energy systems, estimating the monthly average daily solar irradiation incident on inclined solar panels is the main step of long-term feasibility analysis toward reaching the viable investments. In fact, most solar energy investor companies use silicon solar irradiation measuring instruments in Turkey although only a few of them also measure the...
Parallel implementation of a gas-kinetic BGK method on unstructured grids for 3-D inviscid missile flows Ilgaz, Murat; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2009-10-12) A 3-D gas-kinetic BGK method and its parallel solution algorithm are developed for the computation of inviscid missile flows on unstructured grids. Flow solutions over a supersonic missile are presented to validate the accuracy and robustness of the method. It is shown that the computation time, which is an important deficiency of gas-kinetic BGK methods, may significantly be reduced by performing computations in parallel. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
