Sharp crested weirs and gates are flow measurement structures which are frequently used for discharge measurements in channels and laboratories. In this thesis, numerical modelling technique was used in the solution of two flow measurement problems, namely contracted sharp crested weirs (Problem 1) and combined weir and gate system (Problem 2). The numerical simulation of flow cases having similar conditions with the experiments from the previous studies is performed for both Problem 1 and 2. The basic flow equations are solved using the finite-volume method of the commercially available software Flow-3D. The computed results for the volumetric flow rate of the flow are compared with the experimental data. The comparisons of the experimental and numerical results for both problems studied show that the computational volumetric flow rate values are found to agree reasonably well with the experimental data.

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...
Numerical modelling of contracted sharp-crested weirs and combined weir and gate systems
Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Duru, Aysel (Wiley, 2020-05-01)
Discharge measurement and control structures are widely employed in hydraulic engineering applications. The objective of this study is to numerically investigate the modelling of two different structures, namely sharp-crested weirs as Problem 1 and combined weir and gate systems as Problem 2. The research methodology herein is based on the comparison of results of numerical simulations with experimental data for both problems separately. For the purpose of performing numerical simulations, the Reynolds-aver...
Discharge formula for rectangular sharp-crested weirs
Aydın, İsmail; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu (2011-04-01)
Sharp-crested rectangular weirs used for discharge measurement in channels and laboratories are experimentally investigated. Height and width of weir plate are the two parameters characterizing the head-discharge relationship. Laboratory experiments are conducted by measuring the discharge and the head over the weir for variable weir heights and widths. Applicability of various formulations for the discharge coefficient are investigated. Experiments indicate that discharge is independent of weir height, whe...
Precise mapping of the magnetic field in the CMS barrel yoke using cosmic rays
Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2010-03-01)
The CMS detector is designed around a large 4 T superconducting solenoid, enclosed in a 12 000-tonne steel return yoke. A detailed map of the magnetic field is required for the accurate simulation and reconstruction of physics events in the CMS detector, not only in the inner tracking region inside the solenoid but also in the large and complex structure of the steel yoke, which is instrumented with muon chambers. Using a large sample of cosmic muon events collected by CMS in 2008, the field in the steel of...
Estimation of deterministic and stochastic imu error parameters
Ünsal, Derya; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
Inertial Measurement Units, the main component of a navigation system, are used in several systems today. IMU’s main components, gyroscopes and accelerometers, can be produced at a lower cost and higher quantity. Together with the decrease in the production cost of sensors it is observed that the performances of these sensors are getting worse. In order to improve the performance of an IMU, the error compensation algorithms came into question and several algorithms have been designed. Inertial sensors conta...
