Geophysical processes could be self-similar under certain similarity transformations at certain time and space dimensions. In this study, the conditions under which the Saint Venant equations system for unsteady open channel flow through rectangular channels of varying width becomes self-similar under various time and space scales are investigated by utilizing one-parameter Lie group of point-scaling transformations. © 2013 American Society of Civil Engineers.

Self-similarity in fate and transport of contaminants in groundwater
Ercan, Ali (2020-03-01)
Similarity within non-linear geophysical processes under different space and time has been investigated in literature to understand and model the sophisticated nature of these processes. This study deals with the self-similarity of the governing processes of fate and transport of contaminants in groundwater, which include advection, dispersion, sorption, and degradation, either by chemical reaction or microbiological interaction. As such, self-similarity conditions of three-dimensional advective-dispersive-...
Equivariant Reduction of Gauge Theories over Fuzzy Extra Dimensions
Kürkcüoğlu, Seçkin (IOP Publishing, 2012-2-8)
In SU(N) Yang-Mills theories on a manifold M, which are suitably coupled to a set of scalars, fuzzy spheres may be generated as extra dimensions by spontaneous symmetry breaking. This process results in gauge theories over the product space of the manifold M and the fuzzy spheres with smaller gauge groups. Here we present the SU(2)- and SU(2) x SU(2)-equivariant parametrization of U(2) and U(4) gauge fields on S-F(2), and S-F(2), x S-F(2), respectively and outline the dimensional reduction of these theories...
Forecasting total electron content maps by neural network technique

[ 1] Near-Earth space processes are highly nonlinear. Since the 1990s, a small group at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara has been working on a data-driven generic model of such processes, that is, forecasting and nowcasting of a near-Earth space parameter of interest. The model developed is called the Middle East Technical University Neural Network (METU-NN) model. The METU-NN is a data-driven neural network model of one hidden layer and several neurons. In order to understand more about the c...
Dual metrics and nongeneric supersymmetries for a class of Siklos space-times
Baleanu, D; Baskal, S (2002-10-20)
The presence of Killing-Yano tensors implies the existence of nongeneric supercharges in spinning point particle theories on curved backgrounds. Dual metrics axe defined through their associated nondegenerate Killing tensors of valence two. Siklos space-times, which are the only nontrivial Einstein spares conformal to nonflat pp-waves are investigated with regard to the existence of their corresponding Killing and Killing-Yano, tensors. It is found that a class of Siklos space-times admit dual metrics and n...
Linearization instability for generic gravity in AdS spacetime
Altas, Emel; Tekin, Bayram (American Physical Society (APS), 2018-1-24)
In general relativity, perturbation theory about a background solution fails if the background spacetime has a Killing symmetry and a compact spacelike Cauchy surface. This failure, dubbed as linearization instability, shows itself as non-integrability of the perturbative infinitesimal deformation to a finite deformation of the background. Namely, the linearized field equations have spurious solutions which cannot be obtained from the linearization of exact solutions. In practice, one can show the failure o...
