Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Aspect Ratio Effect on Aerodynamic Performance of Naca 4415 Airfoil Section at Low Reynolds Number(Assoc Mechanical Engineers Technicians Slovenia, 2025) Uemuetlue, Hatice Cansu Ayaz; Karadeniz, Ziya Haktan; Kiral, Zeki; Karadeniz, Ziya Haktan; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, the effect of aspect ratio on the aerodynamic coefficients is investigated for a NACA 4415 airfoil profile. Four different aspect ratios which are 3, 5, 7, and 9 are evaluated with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and the experiments. The CFD studies are performed using a threedimensional (3D) computational domain and by using the k-omega shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model for turbulence calculations. The measurements of the aerodynamic forces are carried out in open jet type wind tunnel using a three-component balance. CFD and experimental studies are performed at angles of attack from 0 degrees to 25 degrees and Reynolds number 85<middle dot>103. The results show that as the aspect ratio increases, separation points move towards the leading edge of the airfoil and the stall angle reduces. Furthermore, it is observed that the lift coefficients increase with the increasing aspect ratio. The results obtained indicate that there is a harmony between the experimental data and the CFD solutions.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Investigation of Flow and Heat Transfer Performance of Gyroid Structure as Porous Media(Turkish Soc Thermal Sciences Technology, 2024) Karadeniz, Ziya Haktan; Karadeniz, Ziya Haktan; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThere are active and passive methods used to improve heat transfer. One of the passive methods is utilising porous media with high heat transfer surface area. Porous media are divided into two groups: regular and irregular structures. One of the regular structures is triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS), which have been studied quite frequently recently. In this study, heat transfer and flow analysis of a Gyroid geometry, one of the most used TPMS in the literature, is investigated numerically considering the conjugate heat transfer conditions. A single porosity is considered (epsilon = 0.6), and aluminium, ceramic and PLA are selected for the heat exchanger material to examine the temperature change in the heat exchanger. To understand the different flow characteristics, Reynolds numbers are assumed to be 19.12, 95.61 and 172.09. The fluid inlet temperature is assumed to be constant at 298.15 K, and the initial temperature of the heat exchanger is assumed to be constant at 278.15 K to be consistent with the regenerative heat recovery temperature difference in ventilation standards. Nusselt numbers under different operating conditions are compared, and it is the ceramic material with low thermal diffusivity is at the highest level despite its low thermal conductivity. At the highest Reynolds number, it provided approximately 6% better heat transfer than the aluminium heat exchanger.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Sleep Quality: Design of Bedroom Ventilation and Evaluation Within the Scope of Current Standards(Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Karadeniz, Ziya Haktan; Toksoy, Macit; Sofuoglu, Sait Cemil; Toksoy, Macit; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIndoor air pollution is one of the leading environmental risks to public health considering people now spending nearly 90 % of their day in indoor environments. A significant portion of this time indoors is devoted to sleeping, making it crucial to address the impact of indoor environmental conditions on sleep quality. International ventilation standards such as ASHRAE and CEN, as well as country-specific guidelines, offer valuable recommendations for ventilation design in residential buildings, including bedrooms. This study aims to evaluate the importance of determining ventilation rates in sleeping spaces using Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP) compared to Ventilation Rate Procedure (VRP) in accordance with current standards. Here, the IAQP approach for determining air flow rate is based on the CO2 balance by maintaining CO2 levels in any sleeping environment below specified upper limits of 750 ppm and 1000 ppm. This study focused on the adult population, which forms the majority of society, with analyses conducted for both single and double occupancy sleeping conditions. The volume of environment where ventilation is not required during sleep (Vf) is inaccessible in conventional sleeping environments (10-21.6 m3 per person). Therefore, proper ventilation is of great importance for any sleeping space that is smaller than the Vf. The results of the analyses show that for the conventional sleeping volumes, CO2 levels reach 750 ppm (upper limit for comfortable sleep) in the first hour and increase to the disturbed sleep zone in about 2 h. Additionally, a chart outlining the necessary ventilation flow rates is suggested for maintaining maximum CO2 concentrations of 750 and 1000 ppm during different sleep durations and in various sleeping environments with varying volumes. Finally, the ventilation rates determined based on unit area and/or occupancy levels in standards (referred to as VRP) may not always be adequate or may be excessive in order to maintain CO2 concentrations below the recommended limits of 750 and 1000 ppm. It is advised to utilize demand-controlled ventilation by considering the system design as recommended by IAQP.
