Wave and current amplification inside the basins are related to different parameters. Wave period is one of the important parameters which governs the amplification inside the basins. If the period of incident wave coincides with one of the periods of free oscillations in the basin then resonant oscillation and amplification happens. Resonance inside harbors due to tsunami waves can exacerbate the damages by amplifying the water level changes, and currents. This phenomenon is important and cause unexpected amplifications and hence affects the harbor operations and management due to not only extreme water elevations but also morphological changes. Generally tsunamis in shallow water zone lead to sea water level rise and fall, strong currents, forces (drag, impact, uplift, etc.), drawdown, scour, and morphological changes (erosion, deposition), debris and debris flow, dynamic water pressure, resonant oscillations and seiches. As a result ground material under the tsunami motion move and scour/erosion/deposition patterns can be observed in the region. Tsunamis carry vast amount of materials and cause morphological erosion and/or deposition on coastal utilities inside basins and harbors. In addition tsunamis cause functional failure in the ports due to depth change and damage. Modes of sediment transport can be determined according to the Rouse number values. Sediment transport modes are in the form of bed load, suspended load and wash load. In this study the response and behavior of water motions inside the enclosed basins under long wave conditions are investigated by using numerical model (NAMI DANCE). The spatial and temporal changes of main tsunami parameters and their adverse effects on harbor performance are studied specifically monitoring the wave and current amplifications and consequent variation of sediment motion in terms of Rouse number, In the case studies the resonance analysis in L-type basins, the effects of incident wave period and basin geometry are investigated. The possible effects of tsunamis and or long waves to Belek region in Antalya and Haydarpasa harbour are also investigated as other case studies in terms of tsunami induced sedimentation and amplification effects under tsunamis. The results are presented with discussions.

Tsunami hydrodynamics in coastal zones Özer, Ceren; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) This study analyzes the parameter “hydrodynamic demand” that is also defined by the square of Froude Number representing the damage of tsunami waves on structures and coastlines, and other hydrodynamic parameters, i.e., the distribution of instantaneous flow depths, runup values and the direction of maximum currents, occurred during tsunami inundation by using advanced numerical modeling. The analyses are performed on regular-shaped basins with different bottom slopes and real-shaped topographies using diff...
Nonlinear mode coupling and sheared flow in a rotating plasma Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Choi, S.; Clary, M. R.; Ellis, R. F.; Hassam, A. B.; Teodorescu, C. (IOP Publishing, 2009-01-01) Shear flow is expected to stabilize the broad spectrum of interchange modes in rotating plasmas. However, residual fluctuations may still persist. To investigate the presence of such fluctuations, sixteen magnetic pickup coils equally spaced on a crown have been mounted inside the vacuum vessel, at the edge of a rotating plasma in mirror configuration. A comprehensive analysis of the magnetic fluctuations shows that very low spatial mode numbers survive under the imposed shear flow. Nevertheless, temporal F...
Element solution of electromagnetic problems over a wide frequency range via the Pade approximation Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (1999-02-12) In electromagnetic wave propagation problems, it is usually necessary to calculate the field quantities over a wide band of frequencies. In this paper, we develop a computationally-efficient scheme, which combines the finite element method (FEM) with the Pade approximation procedure, to derive the power series expansion of the unknown solution vector in terms of the frequency. Explicit power series expressions of the matrix operator are obtained for boundary value problems that are defined, not only over bo...
Long waves generation and coastal amplification due to atmospheric pressure disturbances Metin, Ayşe Duha; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Özyurt Tarakcıoğlu, Gülizar; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) The cause of the occurrence of ebb or abnormal waves which are occasionally observed on the coasts is related to the spatial and temporal changes of atmospheric pressure. Because, low atmospheric pressure leads to static water level rise in a part of the marine area and high atmospheric pressure leads to static water level drop in another zone, water level throughout the entire marine area is deformed. This deformation moves as wave, sometimes amplifies on the shore. Due to the changes of atmospheric pressu...
LONGITUDINAL ELASTIC-WAVE PROPAGATION AND ENERGY FLUX AT A DISCONTINUITY OF 2 DISSIMILAR SEMIINFINITE CIRCULAR RODS Yıldırım, Raif Orhan (1994-10-01) Elastic wave propagation through an area discontinuity of two dissimilar, bonded, semi-infinite circular rods is investigated analytically. In particular, the variations of the coefficients of stress reflection and transmission are determined in terms of the nondimensional cross sectional area and mechanical impedance parameters. The coefficients of energy flux reflection and transmission are also included. Then, the case is generalized to include a rigid mass attached at the discontinuity.
