Many hydrological applications are linked with water and energy balance equations. Given soil moisture is a common variable in both water and energy balance equations, it plays a critical role in many hydrological, atmospheric, and agricultural applications, like flood-, climate change-, land/atmosphere-, crop water requirement-related studies. This variable can be obtained using multiple platforms, like ground-based stations, remote sensing, and hydrological models. Among them station-based soil moisture observations arguably have the greatest role in estimating the true soil moisture values or the error characterization of remotely sensing- or hydrological model simulation-based values, even though station-based observations suffer from the sparsely located stations. Soil moisture has been observed in Turkey since 2007 over 149 stations, while the quality control of these stations have not been done before. In this study observed time-series have been quality controlled for their response to precipitation events and calibrated against the soil type and temperature of the soil medium. This study was supported by TUBITAK fund (#114Y676).

Discontinuous galerkin finite elements method with structure preserving time integrators for gradient flow equations Sarıaydın Filibelioğlu, Ayşe; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Scientific Computing (2015) Gradient flows are energy driven evolutionary equations such that the energy decreases along solutions. There have been surprisingly a large number of well-known partial differential equations (PDEs) which have the structure of a gradient flow in different research areas such as fluid dynamics, image processing, biology and material sciences. In this study, we focus on two systems which can be modeled by gradient flows;Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard equations. These equations model the phase separation in mat...
Development of 100w portable fuel cell system working with sodium borohydride Erkan, Serdar; Eroğlu, İnci; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011) Fuel cells are electricity generators which convert chemical energy of hydrogen directly to electricity by means of electrochemical oxidation and reduction reactions. A single proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell can only generate electricity with a potential between 0.5V and 1V. The useful potential can be achieved by stacking cells in series to form a PEM fuel cell stack. There is a potential to utilize 100W class fuel cells. Fuelling is the major problem of the portable fuel cells. The aim of this th...
Development of a laminar Navier-Stokes solver for incompressible flows using structured grids Akın, Ayhan; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) A method to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible viscous flows is proposed. This method is SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm to iteratively solve the two-dimensional laminar steady momentum equations and based upon finite volume method on staggered grids. Numerical tests are performed on several cases of the flow in the lid-driven cavity, as well as of the flow after a backward-facing step with SIMPLE and SIMPLER (SIMPLE Revised) methods. Finally, results ...
Evaluation of surface free energy for PMMA films Ozcan, Canturk; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2008-04-05) Surface free energy (SFE) is a property resulted from the chemical structure and the orientation of the molecules at the surface boundary of the materials. For solids, it can be calculated from the contact angles of liquid drops with known surface tension, formed on the solid surface. There are various SFE evaluation methods based on different theoretical assumptions. In this study, SFE and the dispersive, polar, acidic and basic components of the SFE of a polymeric material, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA...
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF HEAT TRANSFER AND PRESSURE DROP OVER RECTANGULAR PROFILE FINS PLACED IN A SQUARE CHANNEL Aylı, Ece; Kıyıcı, Fırat; Bayer, Özgür; ARADAĞ ÇELEBİOĞLU, SELİN (2014-06-19) In this study, with the help of a fan, fully developed turbulent flow conditions are experimentally obtained to investigate the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of rectangular fins. Fins with different geometries are placed to the bottom surface of a square shaped channel. Finned test pieces are heated by constant heat flux and other parts are kept as well insulated. The effect of fin height to the heat transfer coefficient is investigated by performing experiments. Temperature distributions,...
