In this study; coastal circulation of Buyuk Menders river mouth and the adjacent coastal areas is modeled to determine the current characteristics of the region under river-sea interaction. For this purpose, Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM) numerical model is setup and run under wind, tide, and river forcing conditions. Current, salinity, temperature data from field measurements are used to validate the performance of the model setup with default parametrization. Significance of each forcing on the overall current system is assessed by modeling each forcing independently and comparing these results with the current measurements. It is seen that tidal forcing has the lowest contribution, as the area is microtidal. Wind and river contributes much significantly however the river effect is seen in the closer regions and under higher river discharge conditions whereas contribution of wind is observed all over the area but with a lag in time. As the default model setup performed satisfactorily, 09 - 20 January – 2016 event that represent maximum river flow, maximum wind speed extreme forcing event is also modeled. As hydrodynamics of river mouths is very complex, longer measurement datasets both for the coastal area and the river characteristics is required to improve the performance of these models.

Thermoluminescent properties of Sr2P2O7 doped with copper and some rare earth elements
YAZICI, AHMET NECMEDDİN; Seyyidoglu, Semih; Toktamis, Hueseyin; Yılmaz, Ayşen (2010-10-01)
In this study. Sr2P2O7 was doped with some rare earth oxides (Pr6O11, Nd2O3, Dy2O3, Ho2O3, Er2O3, and Tm2O3) at 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 10%, and 15% (by weight) and co-doped with CuO by heating at 900 C for 10 h. Structural analysis of the products was carried out by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD patterns of the samples showed that doping did not alter the orthorhombic structure of the Sr2P2O7. Thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve measurements were obtained and these showed that Pr and Cu-doped Sr2P2O...
Investigation of turbulence models used in automotive industry
Taştan, Umur; Çetinkaya, Tahsin Ali; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011)
In this study; reliability and performance of turbulence models used in CFD softwares to determine the aerodynamics of passenger cars, are tested and compared. In the analyses, drag forces acting on the car, pressure and velocity distributions and wake flow patterns are determined by using several turbulence models with a commercial software Fluent. Calculated results compared to the experimental results given in the literature. It is observed that, turbulence models give relatively reliable results for det...
Sürdürülebilirlik ve Seramik Çağı
Gürsu, Hakan (null; 2018-10-03)
Bu çalışma; seramik alanındaki gelişimi: dünü, bugünü ve geleceğin vizyonunu özetlerken; “Seramik malzeme” kavramının zaman içinde değişimini inceleyecektir. Geleneksel kil bazlı malzemelerden yeni yüksek teknoloji ürünlere ulaşım serüveni ve sistemleri irdelemektedir. Seramik malzemenin; yüksek performanslı kapasitörler, süper-iletkenler, yüksek verimli oksitler, karbürler ve nitritleri içerecek kadar değiştiğine vurgu yaparken; yeni malzemelerin araştırılması, işlemlerinin ve karakterizasyonlarının teknik...
Gas production from hydrate resevoirs
Alp, Doruk; Parlaktuma, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2005)
In this study; gas production by depressurization method from a hydrate reservoir containing free gas zone below the hydrate zone is numerically modeled through 3 dimensional, 3 phase, non-isothermal reservoir simulation. The endothermic nature of hydrate decomposition requires modeling to be non-isothermal; hence energy balance equations must be employed in the simulation process. TOUGH-Fx, the successor of the well known multipurpose reservoir simulator TOUGH2 (Pruess [24]) and its very first module TOUGH...
Separation of unburned carbon from fly ash using a concurrent flotation column
Altun, Naci Emre; Hwang, J Y (Elsevier BV, 2009-12-01)
In this study. a new concurrent flotation column that simulates the plug flow reactor was designed with the use of a static mixer, a froth separator column and an optional additional bubble generator for fly ash beneficiation. The objective was to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of unburned carbon removal from fly ash by minimizing energy costs. Cleaning tests were performed with and without the additional bubble genarator. Without the additional bubble generator unburned carbon in the ash product ...
