Begüm KüTÜK

Begüm KüTÜK serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pilotage at Gaziantep University's Faculty of Aviation and Aeronautics since 2021, following prior roles as a Research Assistant in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering (2015-2021) and Mechanical Engineering (2011-2015).

Her academic credentials include:

• Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering, Gaziantep University (2013-2020)
• Master's in Mechanical Engineering, Gaziantep University (2010-2013)
• Bachelor's in Nuclear Energy Engineering, Hacettepe University (2004-2009)

Her research centers on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications in nuclear reactor safety, particularly VVER-1200 systems, with expertise in thermoelastic analysis of pressurized structures. She investigates thermal-hydraulic phenomena in reactor components under accident scenarios like LOCA, symmetric/asymmetric flow conditions, and temperature gradients in pressure vessels.

Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on nuclear reactor safety through CFD modeling (2017-2020), evolving from fundamental thermoelastic studies of pressurized cylinders (2013) to complex reactor vessel analyses. Her work demonstrates technical progression in simulating real-world nuclear engineering challenges with increasing system complexity.
