Generally, measurement of flow in natural streams is accomplished by measuring the flow depth. Hence, the relationship between the water level and discharge should be obtained in advance. However, in streams with high sediment load, the bottom level may change due to sediment deposition, preventing the single relation between water level and discharge. This paper summarizes the application of a flow-measurement structure for sediment-laden streams. The proposed structure is designed and built in Turkey and has been under operation since 1998 without any sedimentation problem. The agreement between the real data obtained from the structure and the theoretical rating curve is quite reasonable.

Performance evaluation and cfd analysis of a positive displacement diaphragm pump Gökçe, Gökay; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In order to understand flow characteristics inside a positive displacement pump, every point in the flow field must be carefully observed. Such observations are difficult, expensive and usually time consuming to achieve with physical testing. During tests one can observe flow characteristics only at the locations where the instrument device is attached, not the whole flow domain. This thesis mainly focuses on the evaluation of design and performance characteristics of a positive displacement triplex diaphra...
Numerical & experimental investigation of flow through a cavitating venturi Yazici, B.; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Ak, M. Ali (2007-06-16) Cavitating venturies are one of the simplest devices to use on a flow line to control the flow rate without using complex valve and measuring systems. It has no moving parts and complex electronic systems. This simplicity increases the reliability of the venturi and makes it a superior element for the military and critical industrial applications. Although cavitating venturis have many advantages and many areas of use, due to the complexity of the physics behind venturi flows, the characteristics of the ven...
Evaluation of fluctuating pressures measured with connection tubes Aydın, İsmail (1998-01-01) The dynamic characteristics of fluctuating pressure measuring systems composed of connection tubing and pressure transducers were analyzed. A method of correction for the effects of resonance and viscous damping on the measured pressure fluctuations was proposed. A mathematical model of the measuring system was formed combining the governing equations of the unsteady flow in the rigid connection tubing and the corresponding volumetric deformation in the transducer. Numerical solution of the governing equati...
Construction of phase diagrams to estimate phase transitions at high pressures: A critical point at the solid liquid transition for benzene Ibrahimoglu, Beycan; Üner, Deniz; Veziroglu, Ayfer; Karakaya, Fuat; Ibrahimoglu, Beycan (2021-04-01) Phase diagrams are an integral part of the estimation of material properties in the case of high temperature and pressure. The pressure-temperature (P-T) phase diagram is used to determine the state of aggregation (solid, liquid, gaseous) of a substance under given conditions. This article presents a method to reveal new states in the phase diagram, including the possibility of the plasma state. Using the empirical data of benzene, a critical pressure beyond solid-liquid equilibrium was estimated. It is hig...
Effect of the downstream transition region of a flow measurement flume of rectangular compound cross section on flow properties Göğüş, Mustafa; Atalay, Ahmet E. (2013-10-01) In this study, the effect of the downstream expansion region of a flow measurement flume of rectangular compound cross section on some of the flow properties; such as the discharge coefficient, C-d, the approach velocity coefficient, C and the modular limit, ML were investigated. For this reason, extensive laboratory tests were conducted with nine models of different downstream transitions. The aforementioned hydraulic quantities were then related with the relevant parameters to obtain sets of curves from w...
