The main goal of this study is to estimate the hydrologic parameters of Kocanaz watershed located in Western Black Sea Region, using a semi-distributed hydrologic model, Hydrologic Engineering Center – Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS). In this study, the hydrologic model was set up for two flood events occurred in 2002 and 2013, in which one was used for calibration while the other one was used for validation of the calibrated hydrologic parameters. The watershed was introduced into the model as a single basin. Hydrologic parameters used for transformation from rainfall to runoff and base flow estimations were searched using Nelder and Mead method and calibrated using the peak-weighted root mean square error. The model results were deliberated by statistical indicators such as Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (ENS), coefficient of determination (R2), mass balance error (MBE) and peak flow rate error (PE). The model results were found to be very good for calibration and satisfactory for validation while the peak flow rate was under estimated for both calibration and validation. It can be concluded that small watersheds such as Kocanaz might be modelled as a single basin without sacrificing the estimation capability of the model and increasing the model simulation time. Though, slightly improved peak discharge estimations were obtained in case of using sub basins.

Numerical modeling of balçova geothermal field Polat, Can; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010) The aim of this study is to construct a numerical reservoir model for Balçova geothermal field, which is located in the İzmir bay area of the Aegean coast. A commercial numerical simulation program, TOUGH2 was utilized with a graphical interface, PETRASIM to model the Balçova geothermal field. Natural state modeling of the field was carried out based on the conceptual model of the field, then history matching of production – injection practices of the field was established for the period of 1996 – 2008. The...
Determination of the dynamic characteristics and local site conditions of the plio-quarternary sediments situated towards the north of Ankara through surface wave testing methods Eker, Arif Mert; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2009) The purpose of this study is to assess the engineering geological and geotechnical characteristics and to perform seismic hazard studies of the Upper Pliocene to Quaternary (Plio-Quaternary) deposits located towards the north of Ankara through surface wave testing methods. Based on a general engineering geological and seismic site characterization studies, site classification systems are assigned in seismic hazard assessments. The objective of the research is to determine the regional and local seismic soil...
Numerical investigation of coupled heat and mass transfer inside the adsorbent bed of an adsorption cooling unit Solmus, Ismail; Rees, D. Andrew S.; Yamali, Cemil; Baker, Derek Keıth; KAFTANOĞLU, BİLGİN (2012-05-01) In this study, the influence of several design parameters on the transient distributions of temperature, pressure and amount adsorbed in the radial direction of a cylindrical adsorbent bed of an adsorption cooling unit using silica gel/water have been investigated numerically. For this purpose, a transient one-dimensional local thermal non-equilibrium model that accounts for both internal and external mass transfer resistances has been developed using the local volume averaging method. For the conditions in...
Simulation of streamflow using hydrologic modeling system HEC-HMS Erşahin, Berkan.; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Earth System Science (2020) Basin models are fundamental for water resources assessment, analyzing quality and quantity of streamflow, managing water distribution systems, protecting and developing groundwater systems, flood protection, and water-supply forecasting. The integration of all hydrologic processes with their interconnections to each other at the basin scale is required for basin models. Mathematical basin models such as HEC-HMS are used for simulating hydrological processes in basin-scale to understand basin response to st...
Evaluation of Site Characterizations and Site Effects of the Ankara Basin Turkey Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Akgün, Haluk (2007-06-28) The purpose of this study is to assess the in-situ site characteristics and to perform seismic hazard studies of the Upper Pliocene to Pleistocene fluvial and Quaternary alluvial and terrace deposits located towards the west of Ankara. Based on a general engineering geological, geotechnical and seismic characterization of the site, site classification systems were assigned for seismic hazard evaluations. Then, short-period noise recordings of the microtremor measurements at the ground surface have been used...
