In this study, we analyze the tsunami parameter "hydrodynamic demand" (HD) using advanced numerical modeling. The HD can be defined as the square of the Froude number, which represents the relative value of the drag force (damage level) of tsunami waves in the inundation zone. The other key hydrodynamic parameters investigated in this study include maximum flow depth (inundation depth), maximum current velocity and its direction, and maximum water elevation and discharge flux occurring during tsunami inundation. The analyses are performed on regular-shaped basins with various orientations and distribution of coastal and land structures in order to provide comparisons of the results in a number of different case studies. We also provide information for defining damage levels in residential areas and for testing the performance of coastal protection structures.

Investigation of digital elevation model uncertainty in GIS-based solar radiation models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation Ismaila, Abdur-Rahman Belel; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Ediger, Volkan; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2013) In this study, a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation approach that incorporates digital elevation model's (DEM) spatial autocorrelation is developed with the aim of assessing the impact of DEM uncertainty in GIS-based solar radiation models. The method utilized the error probability distribution function (pdf) of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM, and variogram model parameters of the study area's SRTM DEM as a priori information for the formulation of Metropolis-Hasting algorithm. Statisti...
Study of wave impact loads on components of stilling wave basin on a vertical seawall Altunbaş, Mustafa Gökay; Özyurt Tarakcıoğlu, Gülizar; Kısacık, Doğan; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-8-24) In this study, the wave pressure on components of Stilling Wave Basin (SWB) is investigated by analyzing the physical model experiment data of wave pressures for various hydrodynamic conditions. SWB is a structure that can be used for optimizing the crest height to achieve lower overtopping conditions especially in urban areas. The experiments are based on assessing the performance of SWB on a vertical seawall for which limited research exists. Wave pressure data on the seaward storm walls (both rows) and t...
Evaluation of the sensitivity of open source DEM vs. local high resolution DEM data in tsunami hazard assessment Tüfekçi Enginar, Duygu; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2020-05-06) Tsunami simulations using high resolution datasets would always resemble the results that are closer to the reality. However, high resolution airborne or spaceborne local datasets have not yet been available for many regions and acquisition of this data is costly or might not even be possible for some locations. This hard-to-reach situation of high resolution datasets obliged researchers to work with open source datasets in their studies, which forces them to cope with the uncertainties of low spatial resol...
Comparison of dispersive and non-dispersive numarical long wave models and harbor agitation Özbay, Ali; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) In this study, the evolution of the numerical water wave models with the theoretical background and the governing equations are briefly discussed and a numerical model MIKE21 BW which can be applied to wave problems in nearshore zone is presented. The numerical model is based on the numerical solution of the Boussinesq type equations formulated on time domain. Nonlinearity and frequency dispersion is included in the model. In order to make comparison between the results of nonlinear shallow water equations ...
Investigation of flow and scour around head of a vertical wall breakwater Karakaş, Kadir; Baykal, Cüneyt; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) In this study, wave induced hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes around the head of a vertical wall breakwater are investigated by numerical and physical modeling. An open source computational fluid dynamics code was used to investigate the flow around the head of structure. The code solves incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with a k-omega turbulence closure. For investigating flow and scour around the structure, small-scale physical model tests were carried out in the random wave ...
