Water body movements in bays and seas should also be determined for the solution of many engineering problems. This study aims to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of the movements of the water body in Ayvalik Bay, one of the most important touristic coastal zones of Turkey with a great number of islands. Ayvalik Bay is located in the Ayvalik county of the province of Balikesir in the northern part of the Aegean Sea in Turkey. For this aim site measurements and numerical model studies have been carried out. In order to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of Ayvalik Bay, AQUASEA model was used. Model verification and various scenarios tests were carried out. The output of this project will be basis of pollution studies in Ayvalik Bay. The effects of landfill road (between Ayvalik and Dolap Island) on water circulation could be seen and necessary suggestions were presented. The results of this study would be an important input in the contamination prevention efforts for the sustainable use of the Ayvalik Bay. Knowledge about the interaction between the water body movements and the environmental conditions is crucial for future planning and solution of engineering problems.

Numerical analysis of a projection-based stabilization method for the natural convection problems Çıbık, Aytekin Bayram; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Department of Mathematics (2011) In this thesis, we consider a projection-based stabilization method for solving buoyancy driven flows (natural convection problems). The method consists of adding global stabilization for all scales and then anti-diffusing these effects on the large scales defined by projections into appropriate function spaces. In this way, stabilization acts only on the small scales. We consider two different variations of buoyancy driven flows based on the projection-based stabilization. First, we focus on the steady-sta...
Offshore wind farm site selection for Aegean and Mediterranean Sea, Turkey Yıldız, Hatice Kübra; Oğuz, Elif; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-8-26) This thesis was focused on investigating potential sites in the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea for offshore wind turbines considering a number of criteria such as water depth, wind speed, grid connectivity, etc. Prior to that, all major floating offshore wind turbine installations in Europe and across the World were reviewed. The current status of the offshore wind industry in terms of technology and supporting mechanisms were summarized. Following this, potential sites were mapped using collected data from a...
Seismic Performance Evaluation of Concrete Gravity Dams by Using Pseudo Dynamic Testing and Simulations Aldemir, Alper; Binici, Barış (null; 2017-11-24) Dams are one of the mostimportantinfrastructure components servingfor water storage and energyproduction.Experimental studies on the seismic response of concrete gravity dams are scarce due to the complications regarding thelargescaleof dams and their interaction with the reservoir. This study presents the results of recent novel pseudo-dynamic dam tests (PSD) along with the nonlinear finite element simulations of the specimens. The test specimens were 1/75 scaled version of the highest ...
Numerical modeling of dam breach in concrete gravity dams mosaddeghi, farshid; Köken, Mete; Aydın, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-9-08) When a dam fails, a large amount of water is suddenly released that may create large flood waves capable of causing devastating impacts to downstream areas. This is even more important when the damage is caused by an earthquake, as it is unpredictable. The main objective of the research is a detailed simulating of the water surface profile from the first crack to the entire breaking of dams' body during earthquake using Finite Volume Method (FVM). The next objective is detecting of vulnerable zones on the d...
Numerical modeling of wind wave induced longshore sediment transport Şafak, Ilgar; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In this study, a numerical model is developed to determine shoreline changes due to wind wave induced longshore sediment transport, by solving sediment continuity equation and taking one line theory as a base, in existence of seawalls, groins, T-groins, offshore breakwaters and beach nourishment projects, whose dimensions and locations may be given arbitrarily. The model computes the transformation of deep water wave characteristics up to the surf zone and eventually gives the result of shoreline changes wi...
