In the present study, a widely used mathematical method for unsteady flows in closed conduits such as pipes and/or tunnels, called the Method of Characteristics (M. O. C.) was employed to perform water-hammer analysis of the pipelines extending from the Camlidere dam to the Ivedik water treatment plant in Ankara. Both of the existing parallel pipe lines, are formed by various steel pipes, reinforced concrete pipes and concrete lined tunnels connected in series and having different material characteristics in roughness, diameters and lengths. To take into account all of these various characteristics of the pipelines, the unsteady flow equations consisting of the interpolation feature were used when employing the M.O.C. An algorithm was developed which was incorporated into an existing computer model, written in FORTAN language. By way of this program, the numerical simulations of water hammer problem under desired scenarios were performed. As a result, closure durations were recommended for the pipe fracture safety devices planned to be located at certain places and to be put into operation automatically in case of emergency, without causing excessive pressures in the lines.

An investigation of the flow and scour mechanisms around isolated spur dikes in a shallow open channel: 1. Conditions corresponding to the initiation of the erosion and deposition process Köken, Mete (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2008-08-05) The present study investigates the flow physics and the role played by the main coherent structures in the scouring processes around a vertical spur dike in a straight channel at conditions corresponding to the start (flat bed) of the scouring process. Large eddy simulation (LES) is performed at a relatively low channel Reynolds number (Re = 18,000), in the range where most flume studies with clear water scour conditions are conducted. Similar to these studies, the incoming flow is fully turbulent and conta...
MHD flow in a circular pipe with arbitrarily conducting slipping walls Senel, P.; Tezer, Münevver (2018-08-31) In this study, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow is simulated in a circular pipe with slipping and arbitrarily conducting boundary. The 2D governing coupled equations in terms of the velocity and the induced magnetic field are solved by the Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method (DRBEM). The discretized system of equations is solved in one stroke without introducing an iteration which reduces the computational cost. It is shown that, the flow decelerates, Hartmann layers enlarge through the top and the b...
Workload Distribution Framework for the Parallel Solution of Large Structural Models on Heterogeneous PC Clusters Kurç, Özgür (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2010-03-01) One of the main problems of substructure-based parallel solution methods is the imbalances in the condensation times of substructures when direct solvers are used. Such imbalances usually decrease the performance of the parallel solution. Thus, in this study, a workload distribution framework for such methods at heterogeneous computing environment is presented. The main idea behind this framework is to iteratively adjust the shapes of substructures so that the imbalance in their condensation times is minimi...
DRBEM SOLUTION OF THE NATURAL CONVECTIVE FLOW OF MICROPOLAR FLUIDS Gumgum, S.; Tezer, Münevver (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) The main purpose of this article is to present the use of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) in the analysis of the unsteady natural convective flow of micropolar fluids in a differentially heated rectangular cavity. The finite-difference method (FDM) is used for time discretization. All the convective terms and vorticity boundary condition are evaluated in terms of DRBEM coordinate matrix. Solutions are obtained for several values of microstructure parameter (k), Rayleigh number (Ra), and...
Large deformation analysis of shells under impulsive loading Evcim, Mehmet; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this thesis large deformation behavior of shell structures under high intensity transient loading conditions is investigated by means of finite element method. For this purpose an explicit finite element program is developed with interactive user interface. The developed program deals with geometric and material nonlinearities which stem from large deformation elastic - plastic behavior. Results of the developed code are compared with the experimental data taken from the literature and simulation results...
