© 34th IAHR Congress 2011. All rights reserved.Results of eddy resolving numerical simulations are used to discuss the changes in the flow and turbulence structure around abutments of idealized shape (vertical wall) between channel Reynolds numbers of 18,000 and 240,000. The abutment is positioned at one of the sidewalls of a straight channel. A large scour hole is present around the abutment, corresponding to conditions at the end of the scour process. In both simulations the horseshoe vortex is subject to bimodal oscillations that amplify the turbulence within the upstream part of the scour hole. Results show that at Re=240,000 the region of the highest turbulence amplification within the horseshoe vortex region is not anymore situated around the flank of the obstacle, as was the case in the simulation conducted at Re=18,000. The study also investigates the changes in the flow structure between the case of a vertical-wall abutment and that of an abutment of more realistic geometry with sloped lateral walls (Re=240,000). We show that while the horseshoe vortex system induces a large amplification of the turbulence inside the scour hole in both geometries, the coherence of the horseshoe vortex system is lower in the case of an abutment with a sloped wall. This is mainly because of the larger deflection of the incoming flow toward the upstream face of the abutment with sloped walls and lower strength of the downflow.

All rights reserved.Ulucak Höyük archaeological site (Kemalpaşa, Izmir) is the oldest village settlement known in Western Anatolia. The discovery of the adobe materials' original compositions belonging to Ulucak Höyük Neolithic settlement has vital importance to better understand and sustain the historical adobe technology developed in Anatolia. A comprehensive research was done on the compositional and raw material properties of adobe materials belonging to th...
Frame finite element model for nonlinear and vibration analysis of steel structures with Beam-Column and Column-Base Semi-Rigid Connections Kiriş-Kolon ve Kolon-Taban Yari-Rijit baǧlantili çelik yapilarin doǧrusal olmayan ve titreşim analizleri için çerçeve sonlu elemani modeli Özel, Halil Firat; Sarıtaş, Afşin (2022-01-01) © 2022 Gazi Universitesi Muhendislik-Mimarlik. All rights reserved.In this paper, a shear deformable force-based frame finite element with semi-rigid connections is derived for nonlinear analysis of steel structures. Distributed plasticity approach is defined along element length and section depth, and linear or non-linear semi-rigid connection behavior can be specified anywhere along elements without the necessity to define additional nodes and to increase the degrees of freedom of the structural system. T...

The main scope of this study is to evaluate the structural response limits proposed by military specifications with real test conditions and also compare the effects of usage ANN predicted and military specification loads in design...
Effects of sensitivity analysis on airfoil design Eyi, Sinan (1998-01-01) © 1998 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.The effects of sensitivities on the performance of aerodynamic design optimization were evaluated. Sensitivities were obtained by both analytical and finite-difference approaches. A sensitivity code was developed to analytically obtain sensitivities for the two-dimensional Euler equations using the material derivative concept of continuum mechanics. Several inverse design optimizations were performed to evaluate the m...
