معرفی
Yaşar Mutlu serves as Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering at Beykent University's Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Istanbul, while concurrently holding a lecturer position in the Vocational School's Electronics and Automation Department since 2025. His teaching portfolio spans core mechanical disciplines including Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Hydraulic Machines, and Computational Fluid Dynamics across undergraduate and associate degree programs.
Education:
- Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering, Istanbul Technical University (2012-2018), Thesis: "Turbo solenoid valve"
- Master's in Mechanical Engineering, Istanbul Technical University (2009-2011), Thesis: "Cooling system design of electric vehicle engine"
- Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, Istanbul Technical University (2004-2009)
Research Focus: Dr. Mutlu's work centers on high-stakes fluid control systems, specializing in solenoid valve technology for nuclear power plants and aerospace applications. His research integrates computational fluid dynamics with experimental validation to address cavitation, pressure drop optimization, and erosive-abrasive wear in extreme environments. Key contributions include thermal system redesign for energy efficiency and precision actuator development for fluid control.
Publication Trends: Recent work (2023-2024) demonstrates a strategic shift toward nuclear-grade valve systems, with multiple publications on high-pressure/high-temperature solenoid valves for aerospace and defense. His methodology consistently combines orthogonal optimization techniques with CFD simulations to solve leakage and performance challenges in radar systems and medical isotope generation.
Academic Guidance: Currently supervising master's candidates including DENIZ COLAK (2025) investigating globe valve flow dynamics and HASAN CELIK (2024) developing aerospace-grade solenoid valve prototypes. His advising emphasizes practical engineering solutions for defense and nuclear sectors.
Industry Integration: Leverages 12 years of industrial R&D experience from Arcelik-LG, Heat Flow and Combustion Technologies, and SMS Industrial Materials to bridge theoretical research with real-world valve manufacturing challenges, particularly in nuclear-certified component design.
