Experimental investigation on sharp crested rectangular weirs
Şişman, H. Çiğdem; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Sharp crested rectangular weirs used for discharge measurement purposes in open channel hydraulics are investigated experimentally. A series of experiments were conducted by measuring discharge and head over the weir for different weir heights for full width weir. It is seen that after a certain weir height, head and discharge relation does not change. Hence a constant weir height is determined. For that height; discharge and head over the weir are measured for variable weir width, starting from the full wi...
Scale effects on the formation of vortices at intake structures
Gürbüzdal, Ferhat Aral; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
In the present study, possible scale effects on the formation of air-entraining vortices at horizontal intakes are studied experimentally. Basic dimensionless parameters that govern the onset of vortices at a horizontal intake in a model and a prototype are stated by dimensional analysis. Series of experiments are conducted on four intake pipes of different diameters located in a large reservoir. The relationship of critical submergence ratio with other dimensionless parameters is considered for a given Fro...
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...
Simulation of surface waves generated by a rapid rise of a block at the sea bottom
Şenol, Nalan; Aydın, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
A mathematical model is developed for investigating time dependent surface deformations of a hydrostatic water volume, when it is subjected to a sudden partial rise of the sea bottom. In the model, 2-dimensional, compressible, and viscous Navier-Stokes equations are solved by Marker and Cell (MAC) method. Variable mesh size in both horizontal and vertical directions with a staggered grid arrangement is used. Limited compressibility model is utilized for pressure. Various computational tests are done for the...
Measurement of leading and trailing edge vortex shedding mechanism for flapping airfoil in hover using particle image velocimetry technique
Çekinmez, Aybüge; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013)
In this thesis, the vortex shedding formation/mechanism for flapping airfoil making the figure of eight motion in hover is investigated experimentally using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique and numerically for some parameters determined. For this investigation, a new flapping mechanism is designed and implemented to the existing water tank, where the airfoil is traversed laterally, such that the motion depicts a figure of eight. The traversing system is moved both in x (horizontal) and y (vertical...
