A mathematical model for gravity drainage in heavy-oil reservoirs and tar sands during steam injection in linear geometry is proposed. The mathematical model is based on experimental observations that the steam zone shape is an inverted triangle with the vertex fixed at the bottom production well. Both temperature and asphaltene content dependence of viscosity of the drained heavy oil and their impact on heavy oil production are considered. The developed model has been validated using experimental data presented in the literature. It is seen that the oil production rate is affected as the asphaltene content of the crude oil changes as a function of temperature. The oil production rate conforms well to previously published data covering a wide range of heavy oils and sands for gravity drainage.

An interactive program for GPS-based dynamic orbit determination of small satellites
Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-01)
This work introduces a near real-time dynamic orbit determination program for small satellites. A quality check of orbit data on ground is important for satellites with GPS positioning that is only available at discrete time epochs because of the limited power-supply onboard, so that space-borne GPS receivers are switched on/off intermittently, or because of possible malfunctioning of GPS receivers. The method of parameter estimation with space-borne GPS position fixes as observations is based on an extende...
PREDICTION OF SEISMIC ENERGY-DISSIPATION IN SDOF SYSTEMS
NURTUG, A; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 1995-09-01)
A simple analytical procedure is developed for calculating the seismic energy dissipated by a linear SDOF system under an earthquake ground excitation. The ground excitation is specified by its pseudo-velocity spectra and effective duration whereas the SDOF system is defined by its natural period of vibration and viscous damping ratio. However, the derived relationship for the energy dissipation demand under an earthquake excitation is sensitive neither to the viscous damping ratio nor the ductility ratio w...
Retrieval of fractional snow covered area from MODIS data by multivariate adaptive regression splines
KUTER, SEMİH; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm (Elsevier BV, 2018-02-01)
In this paper, a novel approach to estimate fractional snow cover (FSC) from MODIS data in a complex and heterogeneous Alpine terrain is represented by using a state-of-the-art nonparametric spline regression method, namely, multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). For this purpose, twenty MODIS - Landsat 8 image pairs acquired between April 2013 and December 2016 over European Alps are used. Fifteen of the image pairs are employed during model training and five images are reserved as an independent...
