Hydrodynamic computational modeling plays a vital role in assessment and management of flood risks. In particular, flood modeling in urban environments is especially important due to high damage to infrastructure and property as well as losses of human lives. Many numerical two-dimensional schemes, as a consequence, have been developed to perform simulations of urban flood inundation benefiting from recent technological advancements in topographic surveying techniques. To understand sensitivity of model outputs to different hydraulic modeling approaches; namely, Flow-limited, Adaptive, Acceleration and Roe numerical solvers of varying complexity in terms of representing shallow water equations of Lisflood-FP and 2D full-dynamic Mike 21 models were evaluated in this study. Furthermore, 25 cm, 50 cm and 1 m resolution rasters based on terrestrial LIDAR data of town center of Terme located in Samsun, as well as four different roughness parameters representing urban surface conditions were compared to see how resolution and surface friction may impact simulation results using simplified inertial solver of Lisflood-FP model. The results indicate that among 4 solvers of Lisflood-FP model, only Acceleration numerical scheme provided consistent results to be used in practical applications. Also, compared to the Mike 21 hydraulic model, Acceleration solver generally predicted similar test results, except for the areas of ponding. Increasing DEM resolution resulted in more rapid flow propagation due to more detailed representation of the topography such as sloping alignment of a road. However, it was shown that the use of LIDAR data in flood modeling studies obtained from high frequency terrestrial laser scanners is limited due to sophisticated processing techniques. Moreover, the Acceleration solver correctly predicted sensitivity to friction as water was conveyed faster in models with lower Manning’s coefficients.

A Study on flood management practices for Güzelyurt Şahin, Erdal; Yanmaz, A Melih; Akıntuğ, Bertuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) This study deals with the investigation of characteristics of a flash flood and development of design of flood mitigation facilities occurred in Güzelyurt in North Cyprus on 18th of January, 2010 and development of design of flood mitigation facilities. Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of this flood event has been utilized to develop solutions for preventing the region from the flood. Topographical maps and soil properties are used in hydrological modeling. The data are inserted into a geographical informa...
1-D and 2-D flood modeling studies and upstream structural measures for Samsun city Terme district Bozoğlu, Başar; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) In this study, Samsun City Terme District flood problem is examined with 1-D and 2-D flood modeling approach. In July 2012 Terme City Centre was exposed to a flood event. Approximately 510 m³/s flood discharge passed through the city. The river water level reachedtop of the levees and some parts were overflowed. The area is exposed to flooding as ifthe other urban areas located in Black Sea Region. The possible causes and effects of the flood problem on the Terme District are examined and some upstream stru...
A stochastic approach in reserve estimation Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2006-12-01) Geostatistics and more especially stochastic modeling of reservoir heterogeneities are being increasingly considered by reservoir analysts and engineers for their potential in generating more accurate reservoir models together with usable measures of spatial uncertainty. Geostatistics provides a probabilistic framework and a toolbox for data analysis with an early integration of information. The uncertainty about the spatial distribution of critical reservoir parameters is modeled and transferred all the wa...
The use of nuclear techniques in source apportionment studies, exemplified by recent studies in Turkey GÜLLÜ, GÜLEN; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2004-01-01) Nuclear analytical methods are very important atmospheric tools as they provide multielement data, which is essential for receptor modeling. In this study, the application of receptor modeling is discussed on rural data to determine source regions affecting chemical composition of aerosols in the Eastern Mediterranean. The factor analysis revealed 4 sources, two of which represent anthropogenic component in aerosol mass. The source regions that determine the composition of particles is investigated using tr...
Estimation of predictive hydrologic uncertainty using the quantile regression and UNEEC methods and their comparison on contrasting catchments Dogulu, N.; López López, P.; Solomatine, D. P.; Weerts, A. H.; Shrestha, D. L. (Copernicus GmbH, 2015-7-23) In operational hydrology, estimation of the predictive uncertainty of hydrological models used for flood modelling is essential for risk-based decision making for flood warning and emergency management. In the literature, there exists a variety of methods analysing and predicting uncertainty. However, studies devoted to comparing the performance of the methods in predicting uncertainty are limited. This paper focuses on the methods predicting model residual uncertainty that differ in methodological complexi...
