Two-dimensional simulation of highly heterogeneous domains, especially those with disparate length scales, roughness conditions, and geometries, often leads to challenges such as long computation times and numerical instability. Simulation of challenging domains is often needed to guide flood management and environmental regulation agencies in operation and potential domain modifications. This work evaluates the ability of a two-dimensional unsteady hydrodynamic model to represent long-duration transient flows over a domain with highly heterogeneous roughness, geometric characteristics, and length scales through bed roughness representation. The domain includes 13km of Cache Creek and the 14.5km(2) Cache Creek Settling Basin, which traps both sediment and mercury. Calibration under different bed roughness methods, validation, and modeling results of bathymetric modification scenarios are presented. The modeling approach's performance supports its application as a tool for management of similar domains, such as settling basins, leveed floodplains, and reservoirs. Accurate representation of flow dynamics can also inform environmental management that involves transport of sediments, nutrients, and heavy metals. This study found that a two-dimensional unsteady flow model can accurately represent long-duration transient flow in a large settling basin with highly heterogeneous characteristics without parsing of the domain or flow events simulated.

Efficient Surface Integral Equation Methods for the Analysis of Complex Metamaterial Structures Yla-Oijala, Pasi; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Gurel, Levent; Taskinen, Matti (2009-03-27) Two approaches, the multilevel fast multipole algorithm with sparse approximate inverse preconditioner and the surface equivalence principle algorithm, are applied to analyze complex three-dimensional metamaterial structures. The efficiency and performance of these methods are studied and discussed.
A Non-Galerkin Spatial-Domain Approach for Efficient Calculation of the Dispersion Characteristics of Microstrip Lines Guedue, Tamer; Alatan, Lale (2008-07-11) In the analysis of dispersion characteristics of microstrip lines, spectral domain approaches has been preferred as opposed to the spatial domain calculations since the spatial domain Green's functions corresponding to the microstrip structure require the numerical evaluation of inverse Fourier transform integrals which are computationally expensive. However as demonstrated in Bernal, J. et al, (2000), the discrete complex image representation of the spatial domain Greenpsilas functions eliminates the need ...
A NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITION FOR OSCILLATION OF SECOND ORDER SUBLINEAR DELAY DYNAMIC EQUATIONS Mert, RazIye; Zafer, Ağacık (2011-09-01) Time scale calculus approach allows one to treat the continuous, discrete, as well as more general systems simultaneously. In this article we use this tool to establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the oscillation of a class of second order sublinear delay dynamic equations on time scales. Some well known results in the literature are improved and extended.
Fast Algorithms for Digital Computation of Linear Canonical Transforms Koc, Aykut; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Ozaktas, Haldun M.; Kutay, M. Alper (2016-01-01) Fast and accurate algorithms for digital computation of linear canonical transforms (LCTs) are discussed. Direct numerical integration takes O.N-2/time, where N is the number of samples. Designing fast and accurate algorithms that take O. N logN/time is of importance for practical utilization of LCTs. There are several approaches to designing fast algorithms. One approach is to decompose an arbitrary LCT into blocks, all of which have fast implementations, thus obtaining an overall fast algorithm. Another a...
Comparison of rough multi layer perceptron and rough radial basis function networks using fuzzy attributes Vural, Hülya; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2004) The hybridization of soft computing methods of Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks, Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks with back-propagation learning, fuzzy sets and rough sets are studied in the scope of this thesis. Conventional MLP, conventional RBF, fuzzy MLP, fuzzy RBF, rough fuzzy MLP, and rough fuzzy RBF networks are compared. In the fuzzy neural networks implemented in this thesis, the input data and the desired outputs are given fuzzy membership values as the fuzzy properties أlow...
