Shallow water equations are widely used in inundation analysis and they are known to be successful in computation of floods over wide terrains. Flood propagation in between buildings in urban areas and flows around hydraulic structures such as bridges may not satisfy the assumptions of shallow flow and may display markedly more 3-Dimensional (3D) flow characteristics. However, for the convenience of fast numerical solutions, the shallow-current equations can also be used for such 3D flows and useful output may be obtained.

Assessment of flood hazards due to overtopping and piping in Dalaman Akköprü Dam, employing both shallow water flow and diffusive wave equations
Yilmaz, Kutay; Darama, Yakup; Oruc, Yunus; Melek, Abiddin Berhan (2023-01-01)
This study was carried out to determine flood propagation using shallow water equations (SWEs) and diffusive wave equations (DWEs) to reveal how the flood modeling results differ in terms of flow depth, flow velocity, and hazard level. The solution methods were tested based on the hypothetical failure of the Dalaman Akköprü Dam resulting from two failure mechanisms: overtopping (OT) and piping (PP). A 2D hydraulic model was constructed using HEC-RAS to determine the propagation of flood waves due to the fai...
A stochastic approach in reserve estimation
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2006-12-01)
Geostatistics and more especially stochastic modeling of reservoir heterogeneities are being increasingly considered by reservoir analysts and engineers for their potential in generating more accurate reservoir models together with usable measures of spatial uncertainty. Geostatistics provides a probabilistic framework and a toolbox for data analysis with an early integration of information. The uncertainty about the spatial distribution of critical reservoir parameters is modeled and transferred all the wa...
ADJOINT BASED SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF SEMI-SUBMERGED INLETS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL BOUNDARY LAYER DIVERTER
Küçük, Umut Can; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-12-28)
In this study, boundary layer ingesting and diverting submerged air inlets are design optimized with an adjoint-based optimization methodology based on RANS solu tions. The opensource SU2 software is employed for both RANS and adjoint solutions and for driving the gradient-based optimization. Total pressure recovery at the aerodynamic interface plane is taken as the main objective of the optimization, and the mass flow rate and the momentum distortion are closely monitored. It is first shown that the shape ...
Analytical solution for the propagation of finite crested long waves over a sloping beach
Yağmur, Ahmed Sabri; Kanoğlu, Utku; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2-10)
The analytical solution of shallow water-wave equations, both linear and nonlinear, is widely used to provide an insightful understanding of the coastal effect of long waves. These solutions are generally carried out for two-dimensional (1 space + 1 time) propagation, even though there are a limited number of analytical solutions for the three-dimensional (2 space + 1 time) propagation. Three-dimensional propagation of long waves over a sloping beach is considered here. The analytical solution is obtained u...
Modelling the Dynamic Response of Pile Foundations in Performance Based Geotechnical Engineering Framework
Unutmaz, Berna; Gülerce, Zeynep (2016-06-26)
The objective of this study is to develop a performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) framework for the soil liquefaction-related hazards and estimate the levels of exceeding liquefaction related engineering demand parameters (EDPs) in a probabilistic manner. The post-cyclic lateral deformation at the pile head (x) is tried to be predicted from ground motion intensity measures (IMs) such as peak ground acceleration (PGA) and Arias Intensity (I a). Within this scope, a number of finite difference anal...
