Given equations in literature for critical submergence depth is for symmetrical intakes; however, in practice, approach flow conditions are not symmetrical for most of the intakes. In this study, formation of the vortices in a horizontal water intake structure composed of a reservoir-pipe system is investigated with 3D numerical modelling using Flow-3D software. The geometrical and hydraulic conditions of the system such as the distance between the side walls of the horizontal intake, pipe diameters and the flow discharge are altered and the critical submergence depth required for the formation of the vortex for each case is determined and compared with the experimental results. It is observed that the critical submergence depths obtained from numerical simulations are very close to the experimental results. Hence, it can be concluded that Flow-3D is a reliable software to observe vortex formation at asymmetric horizontal intakes.

Experimental and numerical investigation of vortex formation at multiple horizontal intakes
Yıldırım, Tuğçe; Göğüş, Mustafa; Köken, Mete; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-8)
Although most of the equations given in the literature for critical submergence are for symmetrical single intakes; in practice approach flow conditions are not mainly symmetrical. In this study, formation of the vortices in asymmetrical approach flow conditions was investigated for a multiple water intake structure composed of a reservoir and several pipe systems. Different scenarios were tested when some of the intake units were in operation whereas some others were not. The geometrical and hydraulic...
Numerical investigation of rotor wake-stator interaction
Gürak, Derya; Akmandor, İbrahim Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2004)
In this thesis, numerical solutions of a 2D stator compressor cascade at a given inlet Mach number (0.7) and four values of incidence (49°, 51°, 53° and 55°) are obtained. Reynolds averaged, thin layer, compressible Navier Stokes equations are solved. Different grid types have been generated. Finite differencing approach and LU - ADI splitting technique are used. Three block parallel Euler and Navier Stokes solutions are compared with the experimental results. Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model is used in the t...
Silindir Yapılar Çevresinde Akım Koşulları ve Oyulma Süreçlerinin Sayısal Modellenmesi
Baykal, Cüneyt; Fuhrman, David R; Jacobsen, Niels G; Fredsoe, Jorgen (2014-11-09)
Bu çalışmada deniz tabanına dik olarak yerleştirilmiş silindirik bir yapı çevresinde sabit akım koşulları altında oluşan hidrodinamik ve morfolojik değişimler üç-boyutlu hesaplamalı akışkanlar dinamiği yöntemleri ile çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan sayısal modelde Reynolds-ortalamalı Navier Stokes denklemleri, k-omega türbülans modeli ile birlikte 3 boyutlu olarak çözülmekte, çözümlenen girdap kopması, sediman taşınımı (tabanda ve askıda) ve taban morfolojisi değişimi ile silindir çevresinde zaman içind...
Some problems on the geometry of calibrated manifolds
Yalçınkaya, Eyüp; Önsiper, Mustafa Hurşit; Ünal, İbrahim; Department of Mathematics (2018)
In this thesis,w estudy three problems ont he geometry of calibrated manifolds,which are Riemannian manifolds equipped with a special closed differential form called a calibration. Firstly, we compute the homology of Grasmannian manifold of oriented 3-planes in R6, namely G+ 3 (R6), and its special submanifold called SLAG, the set of 3-planes in G+ 3 (R6) determined by the special Lagrangian calibration on CalabiYau 3-fold C3 ∼ = R6. We make an immediate application of these computations. Secondly,weinvesti...
SECOND ORDER NUMERICAL METHODS FOR NAVIER-STOKES AND DARCY-BRINKMAN EQUATIONS
DEMİR, Medine; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Bayram Çıbık, Aytekin; Department of Mathematics (2022-6-28)
In this thesis, second-order, efficient and reliable numerical stabilization methods are considered for approximating solutions to the incompressible, viscous fluid flow driven by the Navier-Stokes equations and for the Darcy-Brinkman equations driven by double-diffusive convection. The standard Galerkin finite element method remains insufficient for accurately solving these complex nonlinear equations that creates some problems such as numerical instabilities and unphysical oscillations in the solution.
