Hydric dilation measurements of Mount Nemrut sandstones, using a linear variation differential transformer (LVDT), were used to quantify in order to understand the effect of wetting-drying cycles on Mount Nemrut sandstones. Trials with some surfactants to inhibit swelling, resulting from the clay minerals in the structure, were investigated in order to propose some conservation treatments for the Mount Nemrut monument sandstones. The hydric dilation measurements of surfactant-treated sandstones showed some decrease in swelling. Diaminoalkine (DAA) seemed to be most successful surfactant for the inhibition of clay swelling, which is in accordance with previous studies. In this study, hydric dilation was decreased by 40% with the use of DAA. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Ünlü, Kahraman; NIELSEN, DR (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1989-12-01)
Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity K values as a function of soil‐water pressure head h were measured in the soil at 75 cm depth at 70 different sites separated from one another by a distance of l m along a horizontal transect. K field was viewed as a random function of spatial location x. Field data were analyzed (1) to examine the isotropy and stationarity of K, (2) to check the ergodicity of K in the mean and covariance functions, and (3) to characterize the distribution properties of K by estimating the...
Time domain Gauss-Newton seismic waveform inversion in elastic media
Sheen, Dong-Hoon; Tuncay, Kağan; Baag, Chang-Eob; Ortoleva, Peter J. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2006-12-01)
We present a seismic waveform inversion methodology based on the Gauss-Newton method from pre-stack seismic data. The inversion employs a staggered-grid finite difference solution of the 2-D elastic wave equation in the time domain, allowing accurate simulation of all possible waves in elastic media. The partial derivatives for the Gauss-Newton method are obtained from the differential equation of the wave equation in terms of model parameters. The resulting wave equation and virtual sources from the recipr...
Elliptical Pin Fins as an Alternative to Circular Pin Fins for Gas Turbine Blade Cooling Applications Part 2 Wake Flow Field Measurements and Visualization Using Particle Image Velocimetry
Uzol, Oğuz (null; 2001-06-07)
Extensive wake flow field measurements and visualizations are conducted using particle image velocimetry (PIV) inside the wakes of the elliptical and circular pin fin arrays in order to better understand the flow physics and the loss mechanisms of these devices. The true-mean velocity field inside the wake two diameters downstream of the pin fin arrays is obtained by collecting and ensemble averaging a large number of PIV samples in the midplane of the test section. Additional experiments are also conducted...
Efficient finite difference calculation of partial derivative seismic wavefield using reciprocity and convolution
Sheen, Dong-hoon; Tuncay, Kağan; Baag, Chang-eob; Ortoleva, Peter J. (null; 2004-01-01)
Seismic waveform inversion is commonly studied by the least-squares method which transforms the inverse problem to an iterative minization problem of residuals between the synthetic model response and observed data. One can solve this problem using the gradient method, the Gauss-Newton method or the full Newton method. The performance of the inverse method depends on the algorithm for calculating the partial derivative seismic wavefield due to perturbations in the subsurface. In this work, 2-D elastic stagg...
