Tsunami-structure interaction is an important issue in the design of coastal structures. Numerical modeling of the tsunami-structure interaction has a vital importance in this manner to understand the behavior of the long wave motion around structures in a more detailed way. In this study, physical model experiments on solitary wave-vertical wall interaction performed by Arikawa (2015) are numerically studied using two-dimensional depth-averaged non-linear shallow water equations model, NAMI DANCE and three-dimensional Navier-Stokes models, IHFOAM solver of OpenFOAM and CADMAS-SURF/3D. Using Navier-Stokes models, turbulence modeling is addressed with k-ε and k-ω-SST turbulence models in comparison with laminar flow assumption to investigate the effect of turbulence models. The results of the numerical models are compared with the experimental data considering the time series of water surface elevations and water particle velocities.

Transoceanic propagation of Sumatra tsunamis and their effects on Maldives Islands Koyuncu, Hakan; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) In recent years the negative effects of tsunamis in the Indian Ocean dramatically increased. Although, this subject became very popular lately, the far-field activities of tsunamis are needed to be evaluated in Indian Ocean. In this thesis, Maldives and Sumatra islands were emphasized to analyze the effects of the transoceanic propagation of tsunamis in Indian Ocean. At first, using GIS Based softwares, the geographical data of the region were extracted and organized for analyzing. Secondly, a worst earthqu...
Comparison of Laboratory Experimental Data to XBeach Numerical Model Output Demirci, Ebru; Baykal, Cüneyt; Güler, Işıkhan; Söğüt, Erdinç (2016-04-22) Coastal zones are living and constantly changing environments where both the natural events and the human-interaction results come into picture regarding to the shoreline behavior. Both the nature of the coastal zone and the human activities shape together the resultants of the interaction with oceans and coasts. Natural extreme events may result in the need of human interference, such as building coastal structures in order to prevent from disasters or any man-made structure throughout a coastline may affe...
Characterization of tight-gas sand reservoirs from horizontal-well performance data using an inverse neural network Kulga, B.; Artun, E.; Ertekin, T. (Elsevier BV, 2018-11-01) Characterization of a tight-gas sand formation using data from horizontal wells at isolated locations is challenging due to the inherent heterogeneity and very low permeability characteristics of this class of resources. Furthermore, characterizing the uncontrollable hydraulic-fracture properties along the horizontal wellbore requires financially demanding and time-consuming operations. In this study, a reservoir characterization model for tight-gas sand reservoirs is developed and tested. The model describ...
A study for the development of seismic design specifications for coastal structures Gözpınar, Erdem; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Ergin, Ayşe; Department of Civil Engineering (2003) An evolving design philosophy for port structures in many seismically active regions reflects the observations that: -The deformations in ground and foundation soils and the corresponding structural deformation and stress states are key design parameters. -Conventional limit equilibrium-based methods are not well suited to evaluating these parameters. -Some residual deformation may be acceptable. Performance-based design is an emerging methodology whose goal is to overcome the limitations present in convent...
Exploring the added value of machine learning methods in predicting flow duration curves a comparative analysis for ungauged catchments Doğulu, Nilay; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2016-12-12) Understanding catchment hydrology is a fundamental concern for hydrologists and water resources planners. In this context, given the increasing demand for streamflow information at sparsely gauged or ungauged catchments, there has been great interest in estimating flow duration curve (FDC) due to its many practical applications. Statistical methods have been widely used for the modelling of FDCs at ungauged sites. These methods usually rely on estimation of flow quantiles, or quantitative characteristics of...
