This thesis analyzes the process of continuous dredge disposal of dredged material from the Gulf of İzmir, under the Gulf and Harbor Rehabilitation Project, in the Gulf of İzmir to form a natural life island. In this thesis, GTS (Sediment) version of CORMIX (The Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System) is used in modelling of sediment plume formation, transportation of particles in short - long terms and deposition of the particles on the sea bed. Different cases are discussed.

Assessment of the effects of multiple extreme floods on flow and transport processes under competing flood protection and environmental management strategies Tu, Tongbi; Carr, Kara J.; Ercan, Ali; Trinh, Toan; Kavvas, M. Levent; Nosacka, John (2017-12-01) Extreme floods are regarded as one of the most catastrophic natural hazards and can result in significant morphological changes induced by pronounced sediment erosion and deposition processes over the landscape. However, the effects of extreme floods of different return intervals on the floodplain and river channelmorphological evolution with the associated sediment transport processes are not well explored. Furthermore, different basin management action plans, such as engineering structure modifications, m...
Design of settling basins and related problems encountered in practice Zaloğlu, Fatma Deniz; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) 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 ...
Particle tracking modeling of marine sediment pollution Özdemir, Rabia Tuğçe; Durgut, İsmail; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2015) Drilling cuttings, chemicals and drilling mud that are discharged to the sea during drilling in offshore, affect sediment habitat at sea floor. The main stressors describing the impact of discharges on marine sediment are, burial, toxicity and free oxygen depletion. In order to determine the effects of mixing of the discharged material in the sediment column, one dimensional particle tracking model that utilizes the random walk method was developed for estimating the free oxygen, natural carbon and added ch...
Comparison of phosphorus reduction alternatives in control of nutrient concentrations in Lake Uluabat (Bursa, Turkey): Partial versus full sediment dredging YENİLMEZ, Firdes; Aksoy, Ayşegül (2013-01-01) In this study, Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP) was used to simulate the impacts of various phosphorus (P) load reduction scenarios on nutrient concentrations in Lake Uluabat, a Ramsar site (a wetland of international importance designated under the Ramsar Convention), including sediment dredging options and source reduction. The model was calibrated for various water constituents including ortho-phosphate (PO43-) and nitrate (NO3-). The calibrated model was used as a management tool to pred...
Modelling of Dredged materal disposal Mersin Bay Case Study Sadighrad, Ehsan; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Salihoğlu, Barış (null; 2015-10-10) Management of disposal of solid materials dredged from harbours, shipping channels and coastal environments for different purposes is essential for sustainable land/marine ecosystems, keeping economic values and human quality of life along coastal areas. Therefore, comprehensive and detailed investigations of geo-chemical properties of organic/inorganic pollutants in dredged materials and principal physical and bio-geo-chemical properties of the selected disposal sites are commonly a prerequisite for any pl...
