A jet issued from flip bucket of spillway of a dam interacts with the surrounding air and develops into an aerated turbulent jet. Depending on the relative jet thickness, the fall height and the level of turbulence, the jet may be dispersed in air forming an aerated water body which will eventually plunge into the river surface at sufficiently far downstream of the flip bucket. If not aerated, the jet may have a larger impact on the river bed causing severe scour damage. Water cushion and dispersion of jet by aeration are the practical tools to reduce the jet impact. An experimental study is conducted to analyze the contribution of water cushion to damp the dynamic pressures on the bed. The jet impact is analyzed using geometric elements of the jet trajectory in an effort to characterize the jet impact conditions in terms of relevant dimensionless parameters. It is observed that aeration of the jet is more effective in minimizing the impact when compared to the contribution of water cushion depth.

Impact assessment of water jets from flip buckets / Yavuz, Cüneyt; Aydın, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) A jet issued from flip bucket of spillway of a dam interacts with the surrounding air and develops into an aerated turbulent jet. Depending on the relative jet thickness, the fall height and the level of turbulence, the jet may be dispersed in air forming an aerated water body which will eventually plunge into the river surface at sufficiently far downstream of the flip bucket. If not aerated, the jet may have a larger impact on the river bed causing severe scour damage. Water cushion and dispersion of jet ...
Head loss estimation for water jets from flip buckets Yavuz, Cüneyt; Dinçer, Ali Ersin; Aydın, İsmail (2016-11-01) Water jet issued from flip bucket at the end of the spillway of a dam can be a threat for the stability and safety of the dam body due to subsequent scour at the impingement point. However, a strong jet from the flip bucket interacts with the surrounding air and develops into an aerated turbulent jet while the jet impact and scouring effect is reduced significantly. Aeration of the jet, at the same time, cause head losses along the trajectory. An experimental study is conducted to measure the trajectory len...
Mathematical model development of the anti torque system of a notar helicopter Bakır, Hüseyin Murat; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008) The anti-torque mechanism of a NOTAR helicopter is a complex system including vertical tail and pressurized tail boom which provides air ejection used for both circulation control around the boom and creating directed jet air at the end of the boom. This thesis targets the modeling of this mechanism and integrating it to a helicopter simulation model. Flight tests are performed on the MD 600N helicopter to verify the results. Finally, the simulation is compared with flight test data.
Numerical Validation of a Pyroshock Test System and Application to Qualification Tests Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Gursoy, Bahadir (2022-08-01) Spacecraft are exposed to severe mechanical loads, i.e., shock loads, during their journey to orbit. Such loads usually develop due to a separation event through the activation of pyrotechnic devices. They might be transmitted throughout the entire structure and strongly influence the service performance of electronic components. Therefore, it is crucial to study whether the instruments can resist such a harsh environment. However, due to the vulnerability and high cost of the equipment, experimental setups...
Investigation of Numerical Schemes and Their Effects on Impact Pressures in Numerical Modelling Çandır, Semih Batuhan; Baykal, Cüneyt; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2-08) Impact pressure is generated with the high-speed fluid impact into a stationary solid or vice versa. Impact pressure is a phenomenon that has been studied extensively in ship hydrodynamics, but the exact determination of forces acting on a coastal structure in a numerical environment has been a challenge for coastal engineers for a long time. Due to their complex structure of a two-phase flow involving both water and air, it is very time-consuming to properly model and solve this type of problem. This study...
