This document summarizes a study on the effect of perturbations in the flame front on the approach flow velocity of a premixed flame. Numerical simulations were performed to obtain data on flame characteristics like temperature, velocity, and species concentration. This data was then analyzed using MATLAB. Relationships between the flame front shape and local approach velocity were explored based on theoretical equations derived from Navier-Stokes equations. Good agreement was found between velocities calculated from the theoretical equation and those obtained from simulation data, validating the relationship between flame front shape and local flow velocity. The work provides insight into the physical phenomena governing flame instability.
Determination of wind energy potential of campus area of siirt universitymehmet şahin
In this study, wind energy potential of Siirt
University campus area is statistically examined by using the mean hourly wind speed data between 2014
and 2015 years which are measured by Vantage Pro2 device, located at the roof of the Engineering Faculty building with 6 m altitude. Weibull distribution
function and Rayleigh distribution function are used
as statistical approach to evaluate the wind data. Weibull distribution function is examined by using two different methods that are maximum likelihood estimation and Rayleigh method. The determination
coefficient (R2) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values of these methods are compared. According the error analysis, it is indicated that the Rayleigh method
gives better results. Wind speed and wind power density are calculated in pursuance of Weibull distribution parameters. The results are evaluated as

A WIND POWER PREDICTION METHOD BASED ON BAYESIAN FUSIONcsandit
Wind power prediction (WPP) is of great importance to the safety of the power grid and the
effectiveness of power generations dispatching. However, the accuracy of WPP obtained by
single numerical weather prediction (NWP) is difficult to satisfy the demands of the power
system. In this research, we proposed a WPP method based on Bayesian fusion and multisource
NWPs. First, the statistic characteristics of the forecasted wind speed of each-source
NWP was analysed, pre-processed and transformed. Then, a fusion method based on Bayesian
method was designed to forecast the wind speed by using the multi-source NWPs, which is more
accurate than any original forecasted wind speed of each-source NWP. Finally, the neural
network method was employed to predict the wind power with the wind speed forecasted by
Bayesian method. The experimental results demonstrate that the accuracy of the forecasted
wind speed and wind power prediction is improved significantly.

Precipitation’s Level Prediction Based on Tree Augmented Naïve Bayes modelNooria Sukmaningtyas
At present, most of the precipitation’s level predictions use the laws of nature to build the
mathematical model which contains one or more series level to carry out the numerical simulation, as thus
to analyze the causes and consequences of the evolution. Bayesian model is one kind of the foregoing
said. In the Bayesian classification model, Naive Bayes model is known for its stability and easy to
operate, but the established precedent assumption tends to be inadmissible. So here the article proposed
a new precipitation’s level prediction model based on the tree Augmented Naïve Bayes(we called TAN
model for short hereafter), which improve the original Naïve Bayes model defects and increase the
association between the leaf nodes on the basis of the original model. And we use the Dongtai station,
Jiangsu province meteorology data to test the new precipitation model. The results show that the new
precipitation prediction model’s performance is superior to the traditional Naive Bayes model.
The two main challenges of predicting the wind speed depend on various atmospheric factors and random variables. This paper explores the possibility of developing a wind speed prediction model using different Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Categorical Regression empirical model which could be used to estimate the wind speed in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India using SPSS software. The proposed Neural Network models are tested on real time wind data and enhanced with statistical capabilities. The objective is to predict accurate wind speed and to perform better in terms of minimization of errors using Multi Layer Perception Neural Network (MLPNN), Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) and Categorical Regression (CATREG). Results from the paper have shown good agreement between the estimated and measured values of wind speed.
Short-term load forecasting with using multiple linear regression IJECEIAES
In this paper short term load forecasting (STLF) is done with using multiple linear regression (MLR). A day ahead load forecasting is obtained in this paper. Regression coefficients were found out with the help of method of least square estimation. Load in electrical power system is dependent on temperature, due point and seasons and also load has correlation to the previous load consumption (Historical data). So the input variables are temperature, due point, load of prior day, hours, and load of prior week. To validate the model or check the accuracy of the model mean absolute percentage error is used and R squared is checked which is shown in result section. Using day ahead forecasted data weekly forecast is also obtained.

Validation of wind resource assessment process based on CFD Jean-Claude Meteodyn
Wind resource assessment requires nowadays more efficient tools to provide an accurate evaluation of production in order to reduce costs.As onshore wind farms are built in more complex terrains, it is necessary to find a new method to provide a fine evaluation of energy which reduces the error during the data extrapolation process. This explains why CFD models have become a standard for WRA in specific conditions.This presentation is focused on the wind speed and energy yield prediction carried out for a 29MW wind farm project. The accuracy of the wind modeling is investigated by the cross validation between the different met masts around the site. The net energy prediction P50 is compared against real wind farm performance data during a blind test organized by EWEA in 2013. More than 50 companies have been involved in order to compare methods results.
Mapping Gradex values on the Tensift basin (Morocco)IJERA Editor
The aim of this study is to elaborate the cartography of Gradex parameter used in the Gradex method for estimating flood peaks in order to size hydraulic structures. Map of spatial variation is elaborated using the geostatistical method of kriging. Several reference functions (exponential model, spherical, linear, Gaussian and cubic) were used for modeling the kriging variogram. Cross-validation enabled a comparison between the results of these models and choice of spherical model with anisotropy and trend fit by a second-order polynomial as the most suitable. The use of available series of annual maximum daily rainfall recorded at 23 rainfall stations, distributed over the Tensift basin, led also to develop the cartography of standard prediction errors‟ values associated to the predicted parameter for each point of Tensift basin. These errors vary from acceptable values (16.8%) to very high ones depending on the density of the rainfall stations at the desired site.
Comparison of Tropical Thunderstorm Estimation between Multiple Linear Regres...journalBEEI
Thunderstorms are dangerous and it has increased due to highly precipitation and cloud cover density in the Mesoscale Convective System area. Climate change is one of the causes to increasing the thunderstorm activity. The present studies aimed to estimate the thunderstorm activity at the Tawau area of Sabah, Malaysia based on the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Dvorak technique, and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). A combination of up to six inputs of meteorological data such as Pressure (P), Temperature (T), Relative Humidity (H), Cloud (C), Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV), and Precipitation (Pr) on a daily basis in 2012 were examined in the training process to find the best configuration system. By using Jacobi algorithm, H and PWV were identified to be correlated well with thunderstorms. Based on the two inputs that have been identified, the Sugeno method was applied to develop a Fuzzy Inference System. The model demonstrated that the thunderstorm activities during intermonsoon are detected higher than the other seasons. This model is comparable to the thunderstorm data that was collected manually with percent error below 50%.
Different analytical and numerical methods are commonly used to solve transient heat conduction problems. In this problem, the use of Alternating Direct Implicit scheme (ADI) was adopted to solve temperature variation within an infinitesimal long bar of a square cross-section. The bottom right quadrant of the square cross-section of the bar was selected. The surface of the bar was maintained at constant temperature and temperature variation within the bar was evaluated within a time frame. The Laplace equation governing the 2-dimesional heat conduction was solved by iterative schemes as a result of the time variation. The modelled problem using COMSOL-MULTIPHYSICS software validated the result of the ADI analysis. On comparing the Modelled results from COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS and the results from ADI iterative scheme graphically, there was an high level of agreement between both results.

Statistical Technique in Gas Dispersion Modeling Based on Linear InterpolationTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In this paper, we introduced statistical techniques in creating a gas dispersion model in an indoor with a controlled environment. The temperature, air-wind and humidity were constant throughout the experiment. The collected data were then treated as an image; which the pixel size is similar to the total data available for x and y axis. To predict the neighborhood value, linear interpolation technique was implemented. The result of the experiment is significantly applicable in extending the total amount of data if small data is available.
Calculation of solar radiation by using regression methodsmehmet şahin
Abstract. In this study, solar radiation was estimated at 53 location over Turkey with
varying climatic conditions using the Linear, Ridge, Lasso, Smoother, Partial least, KNN
and Gaussian process regression methods. The data of 2002 and 2003 years were used to
obtain regression coefficients of relevant methods. The coefficients were obtained based on
the input parameters. Input parameters were month, altitude, latitude, longitude and landsurface
temperature (LST).The values for LST were obtained from the data of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer
(NOAA-AVHRR) satellite. Solar radiation was calculated using obtained coefficients in
regression methods for 2004 year. The results were compared statistically. The most
successful method was Gaussian process regression method. The most unsuccessful method
was lasso regression method. While means bias error (MBE) value of Gaussian process
regression method was 0,274 MJ/m2, root mean square error (RMSE) value of method was
calculated as 2,260 MJ/m2. The correlation coefficient of related method was calculated as
0,941. Statistical results are consistent with the literature. Used the Gaussian process
regression method is recommended for other studies.
At present, with the development of wind power project in China, there are more and more projects located at the complex terrain and complex environment. At the same time, since the large planned area of project, the complex mountain area, and limited number of met mast, even without met mast, in order to the reliable development of the wind power project, it is important that how to do the wind resource assessment without actual measurement wind data and other conditions such as less reliable wind data, and the met mast was not considered representative. This paper will use the atmospheric model to do mesoscale simulation calculation of wind resources, and then combine with CFD technology to downscaling computation to get high resolution wind power assessment result. Finally, in order to confirm the validity of this application in the actual project, the comparison between calculation values and measurement values is carried out. The verification result through the actual data of different met mast shows that the wind resource assessment method which combines the CFD and mesoscale technologies is reliable. The main contribution of the article is to provide the reference model and approach for regional planning and large scale wind resource assessment when there isn’t enough adequate and effective wind data.
Estimation of global solar radiation by using machine learning methodsmehmet şahin
In this study, global solar radiation (GSR) was estimated based on 53 locations by using ELM, SVR, KNN, LR and NU-SVR methods. Methods were trained with a two-year data set and accuracy of the mentioned methods was tested with a one-year data set. The data set of each year was consisting of 12 months. Whereas the values of month, altitude, latitude, longitude, vapour pressure deficit and land surface temperature were used as input for developing models, GSR was obtained as output. Values of vapour pressure deficit and land surface temperature were taken from radiometry of NOAA-AVHRR satellite. Estimated solar radiation data were compared with actual data that were obtained from meteorological stations. According to statistical results, most successful method was NU-SVR method. The RMSE and MBE values of NU-SVR method were found to be 1,4972 MJ/m2 and 0,2652 MJ/m2, respectively. R value was 0,9728. Furthermore, worst prediction method was LR. For other methods, RMSE values were changing between 1,7746 MJ/m2 and 2,4546 MJ/m2. It can be seen from the statistical results that ELM, SVR, k-NN and NU-SVR methods can be used for estimation of GSR.
An Efficient Algorithm for Contact Angle Estimation in Molecular Dynamics Sim...CSCJournals
It is important to find contact angle for a liquid to understand its wetting properties, capillarity and surface interaction energy with a surface. The estimation of contact angle from Non Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD), where we need to track the changes in contact angle over a period of time is challenging compared to the estimation from a single image from an experimental measurement. Often such molecular simulations involve finite number of molecules above some metallic or non-metallic substrates and coupled to a thermostat. The identification of profile of the droplet formed during this time will be difficult and computationally expensive to process as an image. In this paper a new algorithm is explained which can efficiently calculate time dependent contact angle from a NEMD simulation just by processing the molecular coordinates. The algorithm implements many simple yet accurate mathematical methods available, especially to remove the vapor molecules and noise data and thereby calculating the contact angle with more accuracy. To further demonstrate the capability of the algorithm a simulation study has been reported which compares the contact angle influence with different thermostats in the Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation of water over platinum surface.
46 optimization paper id 0017 edit septianIAESIJEECS
This paper is a comparisation study between an experimental data and Matlab simulation of output PV characteristic affected by the orientation and the tilt angle of a photovoltaic solar module with inclined plane and by the dimension of the panel. The PV panel was rotated towards the east, south and west and positioned for the angles 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°. In this position, the values of current, voltage and power are measured. In the other side, using the mathematical model to calculate the solar radiation incident on an inclined surface as a function of the tilt angle was developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK model. The optimum angles were determined as positions in which maximum values of solar irradiation and maximum power were registered to characterize the P-V and V-I photovoltaic panel.
3D Graph Drawings: Good Viewing for Occluded VerticesIJERA Editor
The growing studies show that the human brain can comprehend increasingly complex structures if they are
displayed as objects in three dimensional spaces. In addition to that, recent technological advances have led to
the production of a lot of data, and consequently have led to many large and complex models of 3D graph
drawings in many domains. Good Drawing (Visualization) resolves the problems of the occluded structures of
the graph drawings and amplifies human understanding, thus leading to new insights, findings and predictions.
We present method for drawing 3D graphs which uses a force-directed algorithm as a framework.
The main result of this work is that, 3D graph drawing and presentation techniques are combined available at
interactive speed. Even large graphs with hundreds of vertices can be meaningfully displayed by enhancing the
presentation with additional attributes of graph drawings and the possibility of interactive user navigation.
In the implementation, we interactively visualize many 3D graphs of different size and complexity to support
our method. We show that Gephi Software is capable of producing good viewpoints for 3D graph drawing, by
its built-in force directed layout algorithms.

Dr. Donghyuk Shin
2. PAGE 1
Introduction.
Recently the fundamental research has been driven mostly by growing
environmental concerns related to decreasing emissions and by
achieving better control of combustion devices (e.g. better flame
stability in gas turbines). The environmental laws on emissions have
become more straightened.
These restrictions put upon already very advanced combustion
technologies like the lean premixed combustion prompt a need to
exploit these combustion techniques to their maximum potential.
The present work focuses on the combustion of methane which is the
main component of natural gas commonly used to power stationary
gas turbines. Gas turbines have a significant share in the total energy
production. For example in the year 2002 the worldwide production of
the electrical energy by natural gas-powered gas turbines reached
worldwide about 17% of the total produced electricity. This share is
expected to grow in the future due to many advantages of natural gas
combustion such as the possibility of achieving very low NOx
emissions.
One of the major research targets is the determination of the axial fuel
approach speed uy and description of dependence of ụ on the shape of
the flame front ξ. The study of local changes in the approach fuel speed
at the flame front due to perturbations in the front can lead to a better
understanding of the physical phenomena that govern the flame
instability.
The main goal of the research is to obtain a mathematical relation
between the axial approach speed and the shape of the flame front for
different types of unforced perturbations on the flame front. The
relation is brought about by studying flame characteristics at the front
through data obtained by numerical simulations.

Abstract
The project was split into two stages as listed below:-
1. NUMERICAL SIMULATION PRE-PROCESSING.
Numerical simulations were executed on a Linux platform to produce
the spatial distribution of parameters such as temperature, axial
velocity, density, concentration of CH4 etc. The values of these
parameters in the Cartesian system were saved in files. All critical data
required for the study was extracted this way. Parameters such as the
wavelength and amplitude of the disturbance were the input to the
simulation to get different out puts. The data was recorded for
different time steps in the simulation.
2. DATA POST-PROCESSING
The data saved into the files was analyzed using a MATLAB code. All
different parameters were saved into 2D and 3D arrays respectively.
These arrays were used to plot all the significant graphs required for
analysis. The noise from the output graphs was filtered out leading to
clean results. The first set of results were obtained by plotting graphs
which were expected to follow theoretical trends. A theoretically
derived relationship between the approach flow velocity and Flame
front position was used to validate the dataset. The final relationship
was a result of the amalgamation of the theoretical relationships and
graphical fits obtained from theoretical simulations. The new formula
was used against different modes and amplitudes, the difference
between the formula output and real-time simulation was in close
tolerances, which was validation enough that the formula was valid for
all types of perturbations.

Procedures used in Analysis
1. COLLECTION OF DATA FOR VARIOUS VARIATIONS IN THE
SIMULATION PARAMETERS
To plot data and obtain relations, it is imperative to have a lot of test
conditions. As the perturbations are characteristic of this research, the
properties of the perturbation in the flame front were varied i.e. their
wavelengths and amplitudes were changed.

2. EXTRACTION OF FLAME FRONT PARAMETERS.
To study the variation parameters at the flame front, it is essential to
make an accurate prediction of the position of the flame front in the
Cartesian plane. To make an estimate of the flame front position
certain assumptions were made:-
1. Constant temperature of 900 °K was assumed at the flame front.
The value of 900 °K was specifically chosen as it was the mean
temperature in the flame front, from the graph given below.
2. Though the flame front has a certain thickness, the thickness
was not taken into consideration in any of the calculations.
Figure-1
8. PAGE 7
From these assumptions, the ‘y’ coordinates of the flame front for
every ‘x’ coordinate were extracted from the temperature distribution
output of the numerical simulation. Every point in the temperature
distribution with a temperature equal to 900 °K was recorded, its
respective coordinates were recorded. In a similar fashion the
approach velocity uy at the flame front was extracted from the velocity
distribution data of the same plot. The ‘y’ coordinates of the flame
front are essentially equal to ξ. The values of ξ and uy were stored into
arrays.
3. FILTERING OF DATA
From the first assumption made, the presence of noise in the
data required for analysis was apparent. Filtering of the data is
critical before any type of processing.
The data recorded for ξ had a global appearance of a sine wave
but locally consisted of steps. These steps would cause problems
in fitting the curves, and also in using numerical methods such
as FDM for finding the gradient at different points of the graph.
Figure-2
9. PAGE 8
The process used for smoothening out the graphs is called the
method of moving averages. The value at every point in the graph is
calculated as a local average over 5% of the span.
Figure-3
10. PAGE 9
The distribution of uy along the x axis was also globally sinusoidal but
exhibited a frequency distribution like characteristic locally. The
moving average method is not suitable for such data. The Savitzky-
Golay method is used as it filters frequency distribution type data and
also does not remove useful data as noise like the moving average
method.

11. PAGE 10
4. FITTING DATA INTO A SUM OF SINES CURVE
As the analysis required the values of the derivatives at various points,
the simplest method to go about this was by fitting the data into
curves. As all the distributions were globally sinusoidal, the sum of
sines curve was considered an ideal fit. The curves of ξ vs. x and uy vs. x
were fit into sum of sines curves. The fit was excellent and in very close
tolerances.

were calculated
at each point in a similar fashion.

Results
As all data was stored into arrays and filtered, there were two ways to
proceed with the project. These methods are explained below:-
FINDING LOCAL CHANGE IN APPROACH VELOCITY DUE TO
THE CONVEX/CONCAVE SHAPE OF THE FLAME
If we envision the flame front perturbations, we can say that if the
shape of the front is convex into the flow, the local velocity uy at this
location decreases as the inflow diverges away from the point leading
to deceleration. Whereas if the front were to be concave into the flow,
this would lead to the flow converging into the area, leading to an
accelerated flow i.e. an increase in uy.

order derivative.
We can say that 𝑢 𝑦,1

is proportional to -
𝜕2 𝜉
𝜕𝑥2
. This property was
exhibited by the data through the graphs given below.
Figure-6
14. PAGE 13
Although the data did exhibit inverse characteristic, there was no
other common trend observed in the graphs for different modes and
amplitudes. Though this approach was theoretically accurate, a
numerical relation through a common formula could not be achieved.
Hence the following method was used.
FINDING THE LOCAL CHANGE IN APPROACH VELOCITY
THROUGH NAVIER STOKES EQUATION.
This approach used a set of equations which were derived from the
Navier Stokes equations by applying different constraints to simplify
the equation. To check the validity of these equations, the dataset
needed to match the values obtained from the equation. The set of
equations used in this method is given below:-

The first step in this method is to find the value of ω. The
amplitudes for a particular mode and amplitude of disturbance are
plotted against time. The variation of amplitudes with time is
exponential. The values are fitted into a graph of the type 𝑎𝑒 𝑏𝑥
, the
coefficient b is essentially equal to the value ω. For every particular
mode and amplitude of perturbation, there exists one value of ω.
The value of the wave number k is calculated by the standard
formula. The next step is to find the value of velocity amplitude
coefficients 𝐴1
𝑢
and 𝐴2
𝑢
by simple substitution.

The last step for this method is the one which determines the
fluctuation of the velocity for the given mode and amplitude at a given
time interval by using this formula.

Y, in this equation is the distance of the point of interest from the
flame front parallel to the Y axis. As we want to find the velocities very
close to the flame front we take y=0.001m.
We can find the magnitude of 𝑢 𝑦,1
𝑢
. Further we can the find the
magnitude of uy by equation 1.
On plotting the newly obtained values of uy from the formula and
comparing it the values from the data set. The following graphs are
obtained.

The table (1) given above shows the variation of the different
parameters of equation (6) at different modes and amplitudes of
perturbance.

Conclusion and Inference
As we can see from the graphs shown in the previous section, the
values of uy given by the formula are in close agreement with the
values obtained from the numerical simulation.
From the above formula, as mentioned in earlier hypothesis that the
approach velocity uy follows the same characteristic as the shape of
flame front perturbation given by
𝜕2 𝜉
𝜕𝑥2
. We can see that by comparing
equation (2) and equation (6), both the equations are the same but
with different amplitudes, by this we can also say that variation in uy
follows the variation of ξ i.e. the shape of the variation of uy with x will
be the same as the variation of ξ with x.
Another important observation is that equation (6) always outputs
graph which are always perfectly sinusoidal which is not the case in the
actual data. The outputs can be obtained at even closer tolerances by
replacing 𝑒 𝑖𝑘𝑥
in equation with ∑ 𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑥8
𝑛=1 . This sum can possibly fit
into all the imperfections in the graph.
