A previously developed computational model is used for wave run-up analysis in a generic two-dimensional reservoir subjected to major earthquake acceleration records. The model is based on numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and pressure equation considering compressibility effects. An existing model has been revised by the volume of fluid (VOF) method with piecewise linear interface calculation (PLIC) to be able to compute violent wave motion in the reservoir and to predict the maximum wave run-up on the dam crest attributable to ground oscillations during an earthquake. The numerical method and the computer code are validated by comparing the free-surface waves with the data available in the literature. The surface wave run-up on a vertical dam is simulated for different reservoir depths using major earthquake acceleration records. Simulations show that the maximum wave height on a dam body depends on the maximum positive ground velocity. On the basis of dimensional analysis, simulation results are presented in a simple dimensionless expression that is proposed for the prediction of the maximum wave run-up on a dam face subjected to earthquake excitation. The proposed relationship can be used for estimation of safety freeboard of dams against earthquake-generated surface waves.

Hydrodynamic Modeling of Dam-Reservoir Response during Earthquakes Aydın, İsmail (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-08-03) A computational model is developed to analyze the hydrodynamic behavior of dam reservoirs during earthquakes. The mathematical model is based on the solution of two-dimensional (2D) Navier-Stokes equations in a vertical, semi-infinite domain truncated by a far-end boundary condition. A depth integrated continuity equation is used to track the deforming free-surface and ensure global mass conservation. A combination of Sommerfeld nonreflecting boundary and dissipation zone methods is implemented at the far e...
Computational and experimental study of high-speed impact of metallic Taylor cylinders Konokman, H. Emrah; Coruh, M. Murat; Kayran, Altan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-08-01) High-speed impact of metallic Taylor cylinders is investigated computationally and experimentally. On the computational side, a modular explicit finite element hydrocode based on updated Lagrangian formulation is developed. A non-classical contour integration is employed to calculate the nodal forces in the constant strain axisymmetric triangular elements. Cell and nodal averaging of volumetric strain formulations are implemented on different mesh architectures to reduce the incompressibility constraints an...
Direct numerical simulation of liquid flow in a horizontal microchannel Kükrer, Cenk Evren; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) Numerical simulations of liquid flow in a micro-channel between two horizontal plates are performed. The channel is infinite in streamwise and spanwise directions and its height is taken as m, which falls within the dimension ranges of microchannels. The Navier-Stokes equations with the addition of Brinkman number (Br) to the energy equation are used as the governing equations and spectral methods based approach is applied to obtain the required accuracy to handle liquid flow in the microchannel. It is know...
Flow structure inside and around a rectangular array of rigid emerged cylinders located at the sidewall of an open channel Köken, Mete (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2021-01-01) Flow structure inside and around a rectangular array of emerged cylinders located adjacent to the sidewall of an open channel is investigated using eddy-resolving numerical simulations. This configuration is particularly relevant for understanding how patches of aquatic vegetation developing near a river's banks affect flow and transport. The array of width W = 1.6D and length L = 33D-35D (D is the flow depth) contains rigid cylinders. Simulations with incoming, fully developed turbulent flow (channel Reyno...
Uncertainty analysis of coordinate measuring machine (CMM) measurements Sözak, Ahmet; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) In this thesis, the measurement uncertainty of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is analysed and software is designed to simulate this. Analysis begins with the inspection of the measurement process and structure of the CMMs. After that, error sources are defined with respect to their effects on the measurement and then an error model is constructed to compensate these effects. In other words, systematic part of geometric, kinematic and thermal errors are compensated with error modelling. Kinematic and geo...
