The main scope of this study is to understand the main hydrodynamic properties 2D body section of Tuna fish hydrofoil. The body coordinates were written into a 2D file which is similar to classical airfoil data files. CFD simulations of the section have been conducted by ANSYS CFX software. The hydrodynamic properties of the hydrofoil such as lift, drag and pressure coefficients were evaluated. The velocity, pressure and turbulence kinetic energy distributions have been illustrated. The analyses were made considering different angles of attack and Reynolds Number. The calculated hydrodynamic characteristics have been discussed and compared with the literature.

Evaluation of the water-food nexus with the focus on agricultural water management in the Upper Sakarya watershed
Özel, Beyza; Alp, Emre; Department of Environmental Engineering (2021-5-15)
This study investigates the tradeoffs between water and food (agriculture) nexus and evaluates alternative scenarios focusing on sustainable water governance for agricultural production in Upper Sakarya Basin. For this purpose, pressures on surface water and groundwater resources are determined for the study period (2004-2016) by considering inputs and outputs such as demand, supply, and discharge by all sectors. With concentrating on the impacts on demand and supply dynamics, the effectiveness of managemen...
Improving the physical properties of fish gelatin by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and ultrasonication (US)
Sezer, Purlen; Okur, İlhami; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Alpas, Hami (2020-04-01)
In this study, it was aimed to improve the physical properties of fish gelatin by using high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and ultrasonication (US). Gelatin solutions were exposed to different pressures and ultrasonication separately and gelled afterwards. The physicochemical measurements based on gel strength, turbidity and rheology experiments showed that HHP treatment on fish and bovine gelatin stabilized the gelatin network by organising the structure and reducing the free volume. Both processing methods (...
INVESTIGATING PELAGIC FISH LARVAL DISPERSAL AND ECOLOGIC CONNECTIVITY IN THE BLACK SEA USING LAGRANGIAN DRIFTER MODELING
Çağdaş, Bulut; Fach Salihoğlu, Bettina; Department of Oceanography (2019-9-24)
In order to understand fish population dynamics, understanding the physical interaction of the current systems with pelagic fish larvae is necessary. Using a Black Sea circulation model output to undertake Lagrangian drifter studies embedded with a Lagrangian Flow Network the connectivity metrics; onshore transport, offshore transport, local retention and self recruitment are calculated for six different commercially important fish species in the Black Sea: anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus ponticus), sprat (...
Implementation of Antarctic Krill into the Ocean-Ecosystem Model FESOM-REcoM-2 and its Effects on Southern Ocean Biogeochemistry.
Karakus, Onur; Hauck, Judith; Völker, Christoph; Fach Salihoğlu, Bettina Andrea; Hagen, Wilhelm (2020-01-16)
In this study, a three-dimensional, coupled ocean ecosystem model (FESOM- REcoM2) is used to investigate the effect of krill on the biogeochemistry of the Southern Ocean. The implementation of Antarctic krill in the model was done in three steps. 1) A second zooplankton group was implemented, which grazes on diatoms, mesozooplankton and nanophytoplankton (in order of descending preference). 2) A new detritus group was added to the model, which represents faster-sinking krill faecal pellets. 3) The grazing i...
Quantification of the Synergistic Effects of Eutrophication, Apex Predator Pressure, and Internal Processes on the Black Sea Ecosystem
Salihoğlu, Barış (2013-12-01)
In the present study, a model of the lower-trophic pelagic food web of the Black Sea is considered in order to provide a quantitative understanding of the marked changes in the food web structure in response to changing top-down and bottom-up control mechanisms due to eutrophication, overfishing, and climatic changes. The simulations consider three particular parameters controlling the changes in the ecosystem structure due to these stressors; (i) the magnitude of the nitrate flux into the euphotic layer fr...
