Stream gauges measure the temporal variation of water quantity; thus they are vital in managing water resources. The stream gauge network in Turkey includes a limited number of gauges and often streamflow estimates need to be generated at ungauged locations where reservoirs, small hydropower plants, weirs, etc. are planned. Prediction of streamflows at ungauged locations generally relies on donor gauges where flow is assumed to be similar to that at the ungauged location. Generally, donor stream gauges are selected based on geographical proximity. However, closer stream gauges are not always the most-correlated ones. The Map Correlation Method (MCM) enables development of a map that shows the spatial distribution of the correlation between a selected stream gauge and any other location within the study region. In this study, a new approach which combines MCM with the multiple-source site drainage-area ratio (DAR) method is used to estimate daily streamflows at ungauged catchments in the Western Black Sea Region. Daily streamflows predicted by the combined three-source sites DAR with MCM approach give higher Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) values than those predicted using the nearest stream gauge as the donor stream gauge, for most of the trial cases. Hydrographs and flow duration curves predicted using this approach are usually in better agreement with the observed hydrographs and flow duration curves than those predicted using the nearest catchment.

Combination of well log and pore-scale data to predict petrophysical properties of diatomite Akın, Serhat; Kovscek, A. R. (2008-03-01) A fast and accurate method for distribution of multiphase flow functions across the productive interval of a reservoir volume is proposed. When coupled with artificial neural networks (ANN) to correlate pore-type data (pore size, shape, and roughness) with well log measurements, network modeling is useful to generate relative permeability and capillary pressure functions on the same spatial scale as log data. The technique combines measurements with inherently different length scales and is multiscale in th...
AN ACCELERATED NODAL DISCONTINUOUS GALERKIN METHOD FOR THERMAL CONVECTION ON UNSTRUCTURED MESHES: FORMULATION AND VALIDATION Karakuş, Ali (2022-04-01) We present a GPU-accelerated method for large scale, coupled incompressible fluid flow and heat transfer problems. A high-order, nodal discontinuous Galerkin method is utilized to discretize governing equations on unstructured triangular meshes. A semi-implicit scheme with explicit treatment of the advective terms and implicit treatment of the split Stokes operators are used for time discretization. The pressure system is solved with a conjugate gradient method together with a fully GPU-accelerated multigri...
A Mathematical Model for Simulation of Flow Rate and Chamber Pressures in Spool Valves Afatsun, Ahmet C.; Balkan, Raif Tuna (ASME International, 2019-02-01) In this paper, a mathematical model to simulate the pressure and flow rate characteristics of a spool valve is derived. To improve the simulation accuracy, the discharge coefficient through the spool valve ports is assumed to be a function of both the Reynolds number and the orifice geometry rather than treating it as a constant. Parameters of the model are determined using the data obtained by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses conducted on two-dimensional axisymmetric domains using ANSYS FLUENT 1...
An implicit three-dimensional numerical model to simulate transport processes in coastal water bodies Balas, L; Ozhan, E (Wiley, 2000-10-30) A three-dimensional baroclinic numerical model has been developed to compute water levels and water particle velocity distributions in coastal waters. The numerical model consists of hydrodynamic, transport and turbulence model components. In the hydrodynamic model component, the Navier-Stokes equations are solved with the hydrostatic pressure distribution assumption and the Boussinesq approximation. The transport model component consists of the pollutant transport model and the water temperature and salini...
Calculation of the T – X phase diagram of tetradecane + hexadecane and tetradecane + pentadecane under high pressure by the landau mean field theory Tari, O.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2022-08-01) © 2022 Elsevier B.V.Landau phenomenological model is applied to two binary mixtures (tetradecane + hexadecane and tetradecane + pentadecane) to calculate T−x (temperature - composition) phase diagram under high pressure for their solid – liquid equilibria. The phase line equation derived from the free energy of the solid phase is fitted to the experimental liquidus curve (T−x) from the literature and the parameters in the Landau expansion are determined. As observed experimentally, variation of the temperat...
