Settling basins are the hydraulic structures used to get sediment-free water from rivers mostly for hydropower systems. Mainly fine sediment is trapped along the settling basins and from time to time the accumulated sediment in the settling basin is flushed away. A wrong design of a settling basin creates lots of problems. In this study based on the hydraulic analysis of a settling basin, the available settling basin design procedures in the literature were reviewed. Some of the settling basins constructed in Turkey were studied and the problems observed in their operations were analyzed. In an experimental setup a series of experiments were conducted at the laboratory with two types of sediments, quartz and silisium , at various size ranges to determine their maximum settling distances as a function of sill height of the model. The related parameters were presented graphically in dimensionless forms.

Evaluation of eutrophication control strategies for the Keban Dam reservoir
Soyupak, S; Mukhallalati, L; Yemisen, D; Bayar, A; Yurteri, C (1997-04-15)
The reservoir of the Keban Dam in eastern Anatolia is a very deep and large water body subject to significant seasonal water level fluctuations within a given hydrological year. At the present time, different sections of the reservoir have different trophic status and the upper portion of the reservoir, in particular, is eutrophic. In this regard, there is a need for the assessment of alternative strategies to be implemented for phosphorus and thus eutrophication control in this segment of the reservoir. In...
Seismic Performance Evaluation of Concrete Gravity Dams by Using Pseudo Dynamic Testing and Simulations
Aldemir, Alper; Binici, Barış (null; 2017-11-24)
Dams are one of the mostimportantinfrastructure components servingfor water storage and energyproduction.Experimental studies on the seismic response of concrete gravity dams are scarce due to the complications regarding thelargescaleof dams and their interaction with the reservoir. This study presents the results of recent novel pseudo-dynamic dam tests (PSD) along with the nonlinear finite element simulations of the specimens. The test specimens were 1/75 scaled version of the highest ...
Modeling evaluation of integrated strategies to meet proposed dissolved oxygen standards for the Chicago waterway system
Melching, Charles S.; Ao, Yaping; Alp, Emre (2013-02-15)
The Chicago Waterway System (CWS) is a 113.8 km branching network of navigable waterways controlled by hydraulic structures in which the majority of flow is treated sewage effluent and there are periods of substantial combined sewer overflow. The Illinois Pollution Control Board (IPCB) designated the majority of the CWS as Secondary Contact and Indigenous Aquatic Life Use waters in the 1970s and made small alterations to these designations in 1988. Between 1988 and 2002 substantial improvements in the pollu...
Development of a data-driven forecasting tool for hydraulically fractured, horizontal wells in tight-gas sands
Kulga, B.; Artun, E.; Ertekin, T. (2017-06-01)
Tight-gas sand reservoirs are considered to be one of the major unconventional resources. Due to the strong heterogeneity and very low permeability of the formation, and the complexity of well trajectories with multiple hydraulic fractures; there are challenges associated with performance forecasting and optimum exploitation of these resources using conventional modeling approaches. In this study, it is aimed to develop a data-driven forecasting tool for tight-gas sands, which is based on artificial neural ...
Numerical investigation of hydraulic characteristics of Laleli Dam spillway and comparison with physical model study
Usta, Eray; Köken, Mete; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
Spillway is a hydraulic structure that is used to pass big discharges in flood times in a controlled manner and release surplus water that cannot be safely stored in the reservoir to downstream. During the design process of the spillways, determining of hydraulic behavior of these structures is a very significant issue for an accurate and optimum design. In this thesis, the objective is to investigate the hydraulic characteristics of the flow over Laleli dam spillway numerically and compare the results with...
