In this study, a literature review is conducted in terms of assumptions, approaches, and various calculation methods used for the analysis of flow over conventional and stepped type spillways. In guidance of this review, a software is developed to perform such analyses with the set of given data by the user, and display results with some tables and figures. To this end, water surface profile over the spillway face is determined considering air entrainment process, pressure distribution over the crest under various flow conditions are checked, and the possibility of cavitation along the spillway chute is searched. Besides, hydraulic jump over the stilling basin is determined and necessary stilling basin level is calculated according to the given downstream energy level. Similar computations are also conducted for stepped spillways such that a designer can perform quick successive analyses for various alternatives. The software is applied to an example to illustrate its use and discuss the results of the analyses.

Monte Carlo model to assess effects of land-disposed E&P waste on groundwater Parker, J.c.; Ünlü, Kahraman; Kemblowski, M.w. (1993-12-01) The objective of this study was to develop quantitative stochastic methods to assess effects of land-disposed E&P waste on groundwater quality. A computer model was developed to assess the probability of groundwater contamination from salts and oily waste constituents disposed by landspreading or in waste pits. The model considers leaching of chemicals from the waste zone over time until the constituent mass is depleted. It considers volatilization of organics for landspreading. Water flow is controlled by ...
Efficient Analysis of Reflectarrays through the Use of Characteristic Modes Ercil, Erdinc; Alatan, Lale; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2015-05-17) The aim of this study is to establish an efficient analysis method for reflectarrays with varying element sizes. The efficiency of the method relies on utilization of characteristic modes as macro basis functions, and thereby reducing the MoM matrix equation size dramatically. Although the reflectarrays on the focus of this study are comprised of differently sized elements, it was observed that, when same numerical characteristic mode is used to represent the current on all patches, the resultant approximat...
Statistical Approach of Two-three Parameters Rheological Models for Polymer Type Drilling Fluid Analysis Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) In this study, 45 KCl/polymer type of drilling fluid samples were prepared for statistical analysis. Six difference (600, 300, 200, 100, 6, and 3) readings at standard Fann viscometer speeds were determined in order to estimate the rheological model parameters of our different models, as follows: Bingham Plastic, Power-Law, Hershel-Bulkley, and Robertson-Stiff. Parameters of the rheological models are estimated by explicitly solving the required number of equations simultaneously. Different statistical tech...
A discussion of the concepts of validity and reliability in qualitative and quantitative Research Sadık, Olgun (2019-06-01) : The purpose of this paper is discussing the main issues in conceptualizing reliability and validity between qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The researcher examined the arguments about validity and reliability in inquiry methodology and identified three main debates primarily in qualitative research. The first one was about qualitative inquirers’ limited emphasis on the data collection process to increase the robustness of their research efforts. Most of the strategies in qualitative rese...
Prediction of organizational effectiveness in construction companies Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-02-01) Investigation of literature on organizational effectiveness (OE) reveals that the researchers have been in consensus for the difficulty of defining, modeling, and measuring OE, which is important for attaining high performance. Major focuses of this paper are, therefore, to construct a conceptual framework to model OE, to derive major determinants of OE from this framework, and to measure OE by constructing prediction models based on artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple regression (MR) techniques. B...
