Air-entraining vortices are one of the serious hydraulic phenomena which can create various problems during the operation of intakes. Generally, air-entraining vortices start to form when the intake submergence is insufficient and less than a critical value. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the formation of air-entraining vortices and determine the critical submergences at single horizontal intake under asymmetrical approach flow conditions by conducting experiments with four different pipe diameters. In the experiments, various sidewall clearances with a series of discharges were tested for a given pipe diameter to examine the effect of dimensionless flow and geometric parameters on the critical submergence. Based on dimensional analysis, empirical equations were derived to predict critical submergence by performing regression analyses of relevant dimensionless parameters. Scale effect analysis was also carried out to investigate the effect of neglected flow parameters on the critical submergence in the application of model similitude law. A formula that makes it possible to transform model results into prototype results in the range of tested parameters was derived and compared with similar studies mostly based on existing installations. Eventually, it was pointed out that the result of the model study underestimates critical submergence compared to others due to the scale effects. Moreover, it was determined that critical submergences at intakes having asymmetrical approach flow conditions are higher than those of symmetrical approach flows.

Determination of critical submergence depth at horizontal intakes under asymmetric flow conditions
Göğüş, Mustafa; Köken, Mete; Haspolat, Emre (2015-07-03)
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the hydraulic conditions of air-entraining vortices under asymmetrical flow conditions and derive a general expression to determine the critical submergence depth required for the formation of these vortices at horizontal intake pipes. A series of experiments were conducted in a model composed of a concrete reservoir and intake pipe which was mounted horizontally to the reservoir. Three pipes of different diameters were tested with adjustable plexiglass sid...
Modeling the flapping motion via quasi-steady approach and controlling the longitudinal dynamics of a flapping wing mav
Çalış, Özgün; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; ARIKAN, KUTLUK BİLGE (2021-09-10)
An aerodynamic model in order to simulate and control the flapping-wing micro air vehicle based on the quasi-steady approach and blade element theory is developed to calculate the instantaneous aerodynamic forces and moments. The system dynamics of a 2-D flapping-wing MAV in hover mode are modeled. Control simulations are done for hover, take-off, forward flight and landing conditions. Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and Coefficient Diagram Method (CDM) are used to stabilize the flapping-wing system. The e...
Modelling of interaction of shock waves with analytical methods
Koç, Mesut; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-2)
In supersonic air vehicles, specially shaped air ducts are used to supply the air with required properties to the combustion chambers. Two-dimensional supersonic flow solvers used to design such geometrical shapes have become less accurate as the geometrical shape of the air duct becomes asymmetric or flow becomes three-dimensional. This problem can be overcome by solving the interaction between shock planes using analytical methods. In this study, an analytical solution model based on principles of gas dyn...
Passive flow control in liquid-propellant rocket engines with cavitating venturi
Ulaş, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2006-04-01)
In a companion liquid rocket engine development project, due to the overall weight constraint of the propulsion system, a cavitating venturi is selected to control the liquid fuel and liquid oxidizer mass flow rates. Two cavitating venturis, one for the fuel and the other for the oxidizer, are designed to deliver the desired mass flow rates for a specified operating inlet pressure, temperature, and inlet cross-sectional area. The converging and diverging angles of the venturis are selected from the literatu...
Development of an iterative method for liquid-propellant combustion chamber instability analysis
Cengiz, Kenan; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010)
Controlling unsteady combustion induced gas flow fluctuations and the resultant motor vibrations is a very significant step in rocket motor design. It occurs when the unsteady heat release due to combustion happens to feed the acoustic oscillations of the closed duct forming a feed-back system. The resultant vibrations concerned may even lead to total failure of the rocket system unless analysed and tested thoroughly. This thesis aims developing a linear numerical analysis method for the growth rate of inst...
