Bottom friction is an important parameter in tsunami inundation and should be included in the numerical simulations in order to reach reliable results. This study shows that smaller friction leads to larger runup values in the simulations and the runup distance of large amplitude waves is more friction sensitive. The analyses are conducted using FLOW 3D, a three-dimensional numerical model efficient in solving free surface flows, and using three experimental benchmark problems, which are commonly used to validate numerical models in coastal engineering.

Effect of Downstream Channel Slope on Numerical Modeling of Dam Break Induced Flows
Dinçer, Ali Ersin; Bozkuş, Zafer; Şahin, Ahmet Nazım (null; 2016-07-29)
In the present study, the numerical simulations of dam break induced flows are performed by using various models. The numerical models used in the study are laminar, large eddy simulation (LES) and Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations with k-ε turbulence model. In addition a recently developed Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code is also used to simulate dam break problem. For the validation of the numerical approaches, a recently published experimental study is used. In the experimental s...
Effect of dynamic soil-bridge interaction modeling assumptions on the calculated seismic response of integral bridges
Erhan, Semih; Dicleli, Murat (2014-11-01)
In this study, the effect of soil-structure modeling assumptions and simplifications on the seismic analyses results of integral bridges (lBs) is investigated. For this purpose, five structural models of lBs are built in decreasing levels of complexity starting from a nonlinear structural model including close numerical simulation of the behavior of the foundation and backfill soil and gradually simplifying the model to a level where the effect of backfill and foundation soil is totally excluded. Nonlinear ...
Effect of watershed partitioning on hydrologic parameters and estimation of hydrograph of an ungauged basin: a case study in Gokirmak and Kocanaz, Turkey
Kocyigit, Musteyde Baduna; Akay, Huseyin; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-08-01)
The main goal of this study is to investigate the effect of the size of the subbasins of a watershed on the hydrologic parameters and their spatial variability in an estimation of the hydrologic parameters and hydrograph of a neighbouring ungauged basin. In this paper, Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS), a semi-distributed hydrologic model, is used to calibrate and cross-validate two flood events occurred in 1998 and then validate four other flood events occurred in 1991, 19...
Effect of thermal induced flexural strain cycles on the low cycle fatigue performance of integral bridge steel H-piles
Karalar, Memduh; Dicleli, Murat (2016-10-01)
Close examination of the field measurement data for integral bridges revealed that the measured cyclic flexural strains in steel H-piles at the abutments due to thermal fluctuations consist of large amplitude, primary small amplitude and secondary small amplitude cycles. The effect of the small amplitude strain cycles on the low cycle fatigue life of these steel H-piles has not been extensively studied yet. Accordingly, to investigate the effect of the small amplitude strain cycles on the low cycle fatigue ...
Effects of seismic source model parameters on the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment results
Vakilinezhad, Marjan; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
The inputs to the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) contain large uncertainties regarding the seismic source model parameters; therefore, the results may vary significantly due to subjective judgment and interpretation of the limited data. The objective of this study is to show the effect of seismic source model on the hazard results by quantifying the difference in the design ground motions for different risk levels at different locations around an active tectonic structure. Analysis showed that...
