High-order accuracy in the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solvers became an important necessity with increasing computational resources and algorithms. Resolving discontinuities and regions where high gradients formed accurately is the main topic for high-order schemes. The Generalized Riemann Problem (GRP) method came to the fore with its ability to improve the accuracy in these regions and discontinuities. With the GRP method, the second-order accuracy is not achieved by the piece-wise linear reconstruction method only but also by time variation of flux and resolved state. In this thesis, the GRP method is implemented in a finite volume, open-source CFD solver. The generalized MINMOD limiter is implemented in the solver and investigated since it is a key ingredient of the GRP method. The robustness and accuracy of the implemented method are tested with five cases in one dimension and compared with analytical solutions and reference solutions. The implemented method is validated for the two-dimensional domain with well-known benchmark tests such as; the inviscid Prandtl-Meyer expansion fan case for evaluating the two-dimensional (2D) performance on rarefaction wave accuracy, inviscid Wedge case for investigating the 2D performance on shock wave accuracy, and RAE 2822 airfoil case for examining the aerodynamic performance for viscous flows. A three-dimensional study is conducted with ONERA M6 Wing. The results are in good agreement with the experimental results and analytical solutions. Finally, an assessment and discussion are presented for the limiter used in the GRP method.

Prediction of Nonlinear Drift Demands for Buildings with Recurrent Neural Networks Kocamaz, Korhan; Binici, Barış; Tuncay, Kağan (2021-09-08) Application of deep learning algorithms to the problems of structural engineering is an emerging research field. Inthis study, a deep learning algorithm, namely recurrent neural network (RNN), is applied to tackle a problemrelated to the assessment of reinforced concrete buildings. Inter-storey drift ratio profile of a structure is a quiteimportant parameter while conducting assessment procedures. In general, procedures require a series of timeconsuming nonlinear dynamic analysis. In this study, an extensiv...
Implementation of the Sampling Importance Resampling Particle Filter Algorithm in Graphics Processing Unit Dülger, Özcan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Demirekler, Mübeccel (2015-05-19) When the particle filter has too many particles, the computational cost increases and the sequential algorithms become inefficient in terms of the execution time. Recent developments in the graphics processing unit technology offer promising solutions for the speedup of the particle filter. In this study, Sampling Importance Resampling (SIR) particle filter method is implemented on the graphics processing unit. The speedup results are compared with results of the sequential and parallel implementations of t...
Mathematical problems of black-box computational technologies for continuum mechanics Martynenko, Sergey; Zhou, Weixing; Gökalp, İskender; Toktaliev, Pavel; Tarasov, Georgy; Rumiantsev, Egor (2023-02-16) This paper discusses possible ways of computational technology development for segregated/coupled solving the systems of nonlinear partial differential equations in black-box software. These systems describe physical and chemical processes in the continuum mechanics approximation (multiphysics). The following requirements for the black-box numerical methods are formulated: - robustness (the least number of problem-dependent components); - efficiency (close-to-optimal algorithmic complexity); - parallelism (...
USE OF GEOMETRICAL OPTIC METHODS FOR DISADVANTAGES OF FDTD METHOD Ciydem, Mehmet; Koç, Seyit Sencer (2014-03-01) Numerical methods in space-time have long been used to solve Maxwell's partial differential equations (PDEs) accurately. Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD), one of the most widely used method, solves Maxwell's PDEs directly in computational grid. In FDTD, grid spacings (Delta x, Delta y, Delta z) are selected to properly sample field quantities to avoid aliasing and maximum allowable time-step (Delta t) is determined to ensure numerical stability of algorithm. Due to discretization of PDEs, FDTD inherentl...
IMPLEMENTATION, VERIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF VORTEX CAPTURING CAPABILITIES OF k-kL TURBULENCE MODEL Baran, Özgür Uğraş (2022-04-01) This study presents the first results of a new turbulence model implementation in our compressible finite volume CFD solver. The k - kL turbulence model is one of the newest two-equation models, and it is based on the ideas of Rotta’s two-equation model. Various research groups progressively develop the model, and it is maturing rapidly. Reports suggest that the k - kL turbulence model provides superior results compared to the other two-equation turbulence models in specific problems. The improved solutions...
