The processes governing the biogeochemical structure of the upper layer water column in the central Black Sea are studied using a one-dimensional coupled physical-biogeochemical model. It is an extention of the previous models (Oguz, et al., 1996; 1997) including the oxygen dynamics and its coupling with the plankton production, particulate matter decomposition and nitrogen transformation, a simplified representation of the microbial loop involving dissolved organic matter generation and bacterial production, as well as the denitrification and hydrogen sulphide oxidation processes. The model thus considers dynamically a fully coupled system of the processes taking place at the euphotic zone, the oxycline, suboxic and anoxic layers. The pelagic food web is represented by two groups of phytoplankton (diatoms and flagellates), three size groups of zooplankton (microzooplankton, mesozooplankton and macrozooplankton). The macrozooplankton group represents essentially a particular gelatinous species group called the medusae "Aurelia aurita"

Modeling the response of top-down control exerted by gelatinous carnivores on the Black Sea pelagic food web Oguz, T; Ducklow, HW; Purcell, JE; Malanotte-Rizzoli, P (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2001-03-15) Recent changes in structure and functioning of the interior Black Sea ecosystem are studied by a series of simulations using a one-dimensional, vertically resolved, coupled physical-biochemical model. The simulations are intended to provide a better understanding of how the pelagic food web structure responds to increasing grazing pressure by gelatinous carnivores (medusae Aurelia aurita and ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi) during the past 2 decades. The model is first shown to represent typical eutrophic ecos...
Modeling of fluid -vapor interface in the condensation zone of a grooved heat pipe Alipour, Mobin; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017) Condensation in grooved heat pipes involves several simultaneous phenomena including vapor-liquid boundaries whose shapes are unknown a priori, fluid flow due to capillary and dispersion pressure gradients and condensation over ultra thin films. In grooved heat pipes, the majority of condensation occurs on fin tops due to the thinner liquid film, having a lower thermal resistance, compared to inside the groove where the fluid is substantially thicker. Majority of the studies in the literature assume an appr...
Simulation of eddy-driven phytoplankton production in the Black Sea Oguz, T; Salihoğlu, Barış (2000-07-15) A three dimensional, three-layer biological model is used to assess impact of eddy-dominated horizontal circulation on the spatial and temporal variations of plankton biomass in the Black Sea. Simulations are shown to exhibit patchy distributions of phytoplankton biomass as inferred from satellite images, and their intensities agree reasonably well with observations. Overall performance of the three layer model points to its potential capability as a practical alternative tool to more complex and computatio...
Analysis of single phase convective heat transfer in microchannels with variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity Gözükara, Arif Cem; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this study simultaneously developing single phase, laminar and incompressible flow in a micro gap between parallel plates is numerically analyzed by including the effect of variation in thermal conductivity and viscosity with temperature. Variable property solutions for continuity, momentum and energy equations are performed in a coupled manner, for air as a Newtonian fluid. In these analyses the rarefaction effect, which is important for the slip flow regime, is taken into account by imposing slip veloc...
Investigation of physical properties of quaternary AgGa0.5In0.5Te2 thin films deposited by thermal evaporation Karaagac, H.; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2010-8) The aim of this study is to understand the structural, optical and photo-electrical properties of the quaternary chalcogenide AgGa 0.5In0.5Te2 thin films deposited onto the glass substrates by thermal evaporation of the single crystalline powder. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) showed remarkable change in atomic percentage of the constituent elements after annealing. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the films below the annealing temperature of 300°C indicated the polycrystalline structure with co-exis...
