Laplace transform step-response functions are presented for one dimensional transient flow in fractured semi-infinite & finite aquifers. Unsteady flow in the aquifer resulting from a constant discharge pumped from the stream is considered. Flow is one-dimensional, perpendicular to the stream in the confined aquifers. The stream is assumed to penetrate the full thickness of the aquifer. The aquifers may be semi-infinite or finite in width. The Laplace domain solutions are numerically inverted to the real-time domain with the Stehfest (1970) algorithm. During the course of the thesis a simple computer code is written to handle the algorithm and the code is verified by applying it to the one-dimensional transient flow in a semi-infinite homogeneous aquifer problem which can be solved analytically to crosscheck with the numerical results.

Determination of hydraulic parameters of semi-infinite aquifers using Marquardt algorithm Taşkan, Cüneyt; Önder, Halil; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) In this study, transmissivity and storage coefficient of a semi-infinite, confined, homogeneous and isotropic aquifer, where the flow is one-dimensional and linear, are determined using Marquardt algorithm, considering two independent cases: constant drawdown in the adjacent stream; or constant discharge from the aquifer due to pumping at a constant rate. In the first case piezometric head and discharge measurements are utilized. Hydraulic diffusivity, which is the ratio of transmissivity to storage coeffic...
Non-darcian flow in a fractured aquifer Altınörs, Adnan Altay; Önder, Halil; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Non-Darcian flow in a finite fractured aquifer is studied in this thesis. A stream bounds the aquifer at one side and an impervious stratum at the other. The aquifer consists of fractures capable of transmitting water rapidly and porous blocks which mainly store water. Unsteady flow in the aquifer due to a sudden or a gradual rise in the stream level is analysed by the double-porosity conceptual model. Governing equations for the flow in fractures and blocks are developed using the continuity equation. The ...
Forced hydraulic jump on artificially roughened beds Şimşek, Çağdaş; Tokyay, Nuray; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In the scope of the study, prismatic roughness elements with different longitudinal spacing and arrangements have been tested in a rectangular flume in order to reveal their effects on fundamental characteristics of a hydraulic jump. Two basic roughness types with altering arrangements have been tested. Roughness elements of the first type extends through the channel width against the flow with varying length and pitch ratios for different arrangements. The second type is of staggered essence and produced b...
Solution of one dimensional transient flow in composite aquifers using stehfest algorithm Bakar, Ürün; Önder, Halil; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) In this study, piezometric heads in a composite aquifer composed of an alluvial deposit having a width adjacent to a semi-infinite fractured rock are determined. One dimensional transient flow induced by a constant discharge pumping rate from a stream intersecting alluvial part of the aquifer is considered. Parts of the aquifer are homogeneous andisotropic. Equations of flow, initial and boundary conditions are converted to dimensionless forms for graphical presentation and the interpretation of results ind...
Discharge predictions using ann in sloping rectangular channels with free overfall Öztürk, Hayrullah Uğraş; Öztürk, Hayrullah Uğraş; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to estimate in many areas of hydrology and hydraulic engineering. In this thesis, multilayered feedforward backpropagation algorithm was used to establish for the prediction of unit discharge q (m3/s/m) in a rectangular free overfall. Researchers̕ experimental data were used to train and validate the network with high reliability. First, an appropriate ANN model has been established by considering determination of hidden layer and node num...
