Abstract (EN)

ABSTRACTM.Sc. THESISINVESTIGATION OF HORSESHOE VORTEX SYSTEMElif ÖZKULDEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERINGINSTITUTE OF NATURAL AND APPLIED SCIENCESUNIVERSITY OF ÇUKUROVAAdvisor : Prof. Dr. Beşir ŞAHİNYear: 2006, Pages: 56Jury : Prof. Dr. Beşir ŞAHİNAssoc. Prof. Dr. Hüseyin AKILLIAssoc. Prof. Dr. Galip SEÇKİNThe primary aim of this study is to examine the nature of the horseshoe vortexsystem and its interaction in the base of vertical plate mounted on a flat surface indeep water flow. Flows including horseshoe vortex system have been attractingconsiderable attention due to its importance in engineering applications.Flow fields in side and plan-view planes were visualized using dye and particleimage velocimetry technique to study the structure and development of horseshoevortex system qualitatively and quantitatively.The range of Reynolds numbers base on the plate width are 17100 ≤ Rep ≤31200. The analysis of the cinema of instantaneous flow data and time-averagedvelocity vectors field, patterns of streamlines and corresponding vorticity patternsincluding dye visualizations clearly identified the development and interactions ofthe horseshoe vortex system.Keywords: PIV, horseshoe vortex, vertical plate, turbulent flow, water flow
