In this study, the finite difference modeling technique is used to develop a simulation program that can be used for groundwater contamination problems. The simulation program is written in C++ programming language and runs on personal computers using Windows 95. The simulation program supplies an interactive user interface containing useful tools for pre-processing and postprocessing the data. Numerical models are capable of simulating two-dimensional areal aquifer systems with various conditions. Finite difference equations are derived by using vector volumes. Groundwater flow equations and advective-dispersive contaminant transport equations are solved in an uncoupled method. The iterative alternating direction implicit method is used with the Gauss elimination method to obtain solutions. Solution codes for the flow equation are implemented from previous researchers ' studies in this field. Variable grid generation is added to the implemented codes. The program is capable of displaying head and concentration distributions and velocity fields on the discretized aquifer domain. It is supplied with various output file options for the solutions.

Numerical Aspects of POD-Based Reduced-Order Modeling forDarcy-Brinkman Equations
Güler Eroğlu, Fatma; Kaya Merdan, Songül (2018-10-21)
We propose, analyze and test a reduced order modelling with proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method for the modeling to flows governed by double diffusive convection, which models flow driven by two potentials with different rates of diffusion. We present a theoretical analysis of the method and give results for various numerical tests on benchmark problems that will demonstrate both the theory and the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Numerical simulation of rainfall-induced landslides considering hysteresis and scanning soil-water characteristic curves
Kenanoğlu, Melih Birhan; Toker, Nabi Kartal (2017-05-11)
Infiltration through unsaturated soil is essential issue in the modelling of rainfall-induced landslides, Hysteresis in soil-water characteristic curves complicates the modelling of infiltration. This study aims to establish a numerical model for rainfall infiltration and ultimate limit state stability of an unsaturated infinite slope, while considering the effect of wetting-drying hysteresis.

Numerical modelling of wave-structure interaction problems through cfd methods
Güler, Hasan Gökhan; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2020)
The major focus of this study is the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling of wave-structure interaction problems. In the first part of this study, the performance of Haydarpaşa Breakwater under tsunami attack is assessed both experimentally and numerically. It is concluded that the major failure mechanism of this breakwater is the sliding of the crown-wall, and the stability of the stones located at the harbour side is also significant. Design recommendations are given based on the stability of the ...
Numerical modelling and finite element analysis of stress wave propagation for ultrasonic pulse velocity testing of concrete
Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Aktan, Haluk (2006-12-01)
Stress wave propagation through concrete is simulated by finite element analysis. The concrete medium is modeled as a homogeneous material with smeared properties to investigate and establish the suitable finite element analysis method (explicit versus implicit) and analysis parameters (element size, and solution time increment) also suitable for rigorous investigation. In the next step, finite element analysis model of the medium is developed using a digital image processing technique, which distinguishes ...
