A three dimensional baroclinic mathematical model is presented to compute the water levels and water particle velocity distributions in stratified coastal waters. The model system consists of hydrodynamic, transport and turbulence models. In the hydrodynamic model component, the Navier-Stokes equations are solved with the hydrostatic assumption and the Boussinesq approximation. The transport model consists of the pollutant transport model and the water temperature and salinity transport model. The variations in the water temperature and salinity influence the water density, and in return the velocity field. In the transport model the three dimensional convective diffusion equations are solved. As the turbulence model, a two-equation kappa-epsilon turbulence model is applied. The solution method is a composite finite difference-finite element method. In the horizontal plane finite difference approximations and in the vertical plane finite element shape functions are used. The developed model is applied to Oludeniz Lagoon located at the Mediterranean coast of Turkey.

An implicit three-dimensional numerical model to simulate transport processes in coastal water bodies Balas, L; Ozhan, E (Wiley, 2000-10-30) A three-dimensional baroclinic numerical model has been developed to compute water levels and water particle velocity distributions in coastal waters. The numerical model consists of hydrodynamic, transport and turbulence model components. In the hydrodynamic model component, the Navier-Stokes equations are solved with the hydrostatic pressure distribution assumption and the Boussinesq approximation. The transport model component consists of the pollutant transport model and the water temperature and salini...
A Mechanistic Model for Predicting Frictional Pressure Losses for Newtonian Fluids in Concentric Annulus SORGUN, MEHMET; Ozbayoglu, M. E. (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) A mathematical model is introduced estimating the frictional pressure losses of Newtonian fluids flowing through a concentric annulus. A computer code is developed for the proposed model. Also, extensive experiments with water have been conducted at Middle East Technical University, Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering Department Flow Loop and recorded pressure drop within the test section for various flow rates. The performance of the proposed model is compared with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) soft...
A study on uncertainty-based flood analysis Akpınar, Mustafa Berkay; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1) A hydraulic model is a collection of mathematical equations that give a simple representation of reality with the inputs obtained from hydrological assessments to estimate flow, flow depth and velocity in channels. Basically, hydraulic models require digital elevation models, Intensity-Duration-Frequency curves, maximum flows from hydrographs, and roughness coefficients from field studies and/or satellite images. Inherently, these major inputs have uncertainties due to the complex nature of the evalua...
A Domain Decomposition Finite-Element Method for Modeling Electromagnetic Scattering From Rough Sea Surfaces With Emphasis on Near-Forward Scattering ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-01-01) A high-fidelity full-wave simulator is presented to perform numerical experiments for rough sea scattering problem by considering different polarizations, frequencies, grazing angles, wind speeds, and sea surface spectra. The simulator is based on a novel finite-element domain decomposition (FEDD) method for solving the problem of 2-D electromagnetic scattering over 1-D sea surface. This noniterative method partitions the computational domain into a number of overlapping subdomains and solves each domain in...
A one-line numerical model for shoreline evolution under the interaction of wind waves and offshore breakwaters Artagan, Salih Serkan; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) A numerical model based on one-line theory is developed to evaluate the wind wave driven longshore sediment transport rate and shoreline change. Model performs wave transformation from deep water through the surf zone and computes the breaking parameters. The formula of longshore sediment transport rate used in the numerical model is selected as a result of comparative studies with the similar expressions and the field measurements. Offshore breakwater module of the numerical model is developed to compute t...
