Wave propagation in porous media is of interest in various diversified areas of science and engineering. The theory of the phenomenon has been studied extensively in soil mechanics, seismology, acoustics, earthquake engineering, ocean engineering, geophysics, and many other disciplines. This review presents a general survey of the literature within the context of porous media mechanics. Following a review of the Biot's theory of wave propagation in linear, elastic, fluid saturated porous media which has been the basis of many analyses, we present various analytical and numerical solutions obtained by several researchers. Biot found that there are two dilatational waves and one rotational wave in a saturated porous medium. It has been noted that the second kind of dilatational wave is highly attenuated and is associated with a diffusion type process. The influence of coupling between two phases has a decreasing effect on the first kind wave and an increasing effect on the second wave. Procedures to predict the liquefaction of soils due to earthquakes have been reviewed in detail. Extension of Biot's theory to unsaturated soils has been discussed, and it was noted that, in general, equations developed for saturated media were employed for unsaturated media by replacing the density and compressibility terms with modified values for a water-air mixture. Various approaches to determine the permeability of porous media from attenuation of dilatational waves have been described in detail. Since the prediction of acoustic wave speeds and attenuations in marine sediments has been extensively studied in geophysics, these studies have been reviewed along with the studies on dissipation of water waves at ocean bottoms. The mixture theory which has been employed by various researchers in continuum mechanics is also discussed within the context of this review. Then, we present an alternative approach to obtain governing equations of wave propagation in porous media from macroscopic balance equations. Finally, we present an analysis of wave propagation in fractured porous media saturated by two immiscible fluids.

Application of numerical shape optimization to the runner blades of a francis turbine Yalılı, Mehmet; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) The multi-objective design of hydraulic turbines using computational fluid dynamics software has been an important subject in turbomachinery area recently. Researches focus especially on obtaining higher turbine efficiency by the improvement of runner shapes. Thus in the present study, a multi-objective shape optimization procedure was applied to improve the runner blade shapes of a small Francis turbine named as GAMM turbine which was selected from the literature. CFD computations as well as blade generati...
Development of a matlab based software package for ionosphere modeling Nohutcu, Metin; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Modeling of the ionosphere has been a highly interesting subject within the scientific community due to its effects on the propagation of electromagnetic waves. The development of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and creation of extensive ground-based GPS networks started a new period in observation of the ionosphere, which resulted in several studies on GPS-based modeling of the ionosphere. However, software studies on the subject that are open to the scientific community have not progressed in a simila...
On the estimation of kinetic parameters of organic matters using linearization methods Uraz, Irtek; Akın, Serhat; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Elsevier BV, 2004-08-01) Kinetic parameters obtained by various thermal analysis methods are widely used in petroleum and other industries. These methods are restricted to relatively simple models that consist of a single equation and have usually uneven sensitivity on the uncertainty of the experimental data due to logarithmic conversions. An important consideration affecting the success of the linearization methods is that the proper selection of the beginning and the end of the linear section. A new method was implemented in adv...
Time-space fractional governing equations of one-dimensional unsteady open channel flow process: Numerical solution and exploration Ercan, Ali; Kavvas, M. Levent (2017-07-01) Although fractional integration and differentiation have found many applications in various fields of science, such as physics, finance, bioengineering, continuum mechanics, and hydrology, their engineering applications, especially in the field of fluid flow processes, are rather limited. In this study, a finite difference numerical approach is proposed to solve the time-space fractional governing equations of 1-dimensional unsteady/non-uniform open channel flow process. By numerical simulations, results of...
Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Unsteady Convection Diffusion Equation with Random Coefficients Çiloğlu, Pelin; Yücel, Hamdullah (null; 2018-10-21) Partial differential equations (PDEs) with random input data is one of the most powerful tools to model oil and gas production as well as groundwater pollution control. However, the information available on the input data is very limited, which cause high level of uncertainty in approximating the solution to these problems. To identify the random coefficients, the well–known technique Karhunen Loeve ` (K–L) expansion has some limitations. K–L expansion approach leads to extremely high dimensional systems wi...
