The scope of this thesis is to develop a quasi-2-dimensional numerical model to numerically modeling shoreline response under wave action in the vicinity of various coastal defense implementation. The developed quasi-2-dimensional model is applicable in both the medium and the long term. The model is utilizing a spectral wave model, which solves the energy balance equation. Longshore sediment transport is solved through the bulk sediment transport formula, and it is distributed over the surf-zone. The aim is to develop an accurate sediment transport model combining a spectral wave model with directly computed sediment transport expressions without prolonging computation time. The model consists of cross-shore and swash zone sand transport for maintaining an equilibrium profile. The developed quasi-2-dimensional numerical model is compared with theoretical cases and validated through Gravens and Wang’s (2007) laboratory experiments. For theoretical cases, beach cusps, model’s scope of cross-shore sediment transport, and a single groin case investigated. Moreover, series of experimental results in an offshore breakwater’s vicinity are compared with the model results for laboratory experiments. In initial cases of laboratory experiments, the model successfully represents both the shoreline and the areal changes. As the shoreline advances through the offshore breakwater and tombolo starts to form, incoming wave and local orientation angles start to increase; the model results deviate from laboratory measurements.

Numerical calculation of backfilling of scour holes Sumer, B Mutlu; Baykal, Cüneyt; Fuhrman, David R; Jacobsen, Niels G; Fredsoe, Jorgen (2014-12-04) A fully-coupled hydrodynamic and morphologic CFD model is presented for simulating backfilling processes around structures. The hydrodynamic model is based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, coupled with two-equation k-ω turbulence closure. The sediment transport model consists of separate bed and suspended load descriptions, the latter based on a turbulent diffusion equation coupled with a reference concentration function near the sea bed boundary. Bed morphology is based on the sediment continu...
Numerical simulation of wave-induced scour and backfilling processes beneath submarine pipelines Fuhrman, David R; Baykal, Cüneyt; Sumer, B Mutlu; Jacobsen, Niels G; Fredsoe, Jorgen (2014-12-01) A fully-coupled hydrodynamic/morphodynamic numerical model is presented and utilized for the simulation of wave-induced scour and backfilling processes beneath submarine pipelines. The model is based on solutions to Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, coupled with k - omega turbulence closure, with additional bed and suspended load descriptions forming the basis for sea bed morphology. The morphological evolution is updated continuously, rather than being based e.g. on period- or other time-averaging...
Developing an HLA-based naval maneuvering simulation Topcu, O; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (Wiley, 2005-12-01) This paper discusses the main issues involved in developing a high level architecture (HLA)-based distributed simulation while presenting an application called Naval Surface Tactical Maneuvering Simulation System (NSTMSS), which is intended to serve as a testbed for HLA and distributed interactive simulation (DIS) research. NSTMSS provides a networked virtual environment (NVE) for naval surface actions in which new formations can be evaluated and tested and present ones can be practiced and analyzed. This p...
Development of a tool for prediction of the orbital parameters of earth observation satellites Altay, Alkan; Karsli, Gizem; Oezkan, Ahmet (2007-06-16) Development of a tool that predicts the orbital parameters of a satellite from an initial state vector for a specified time interval is addressed. The elements used in the algorithm are presented. The prediction performance of the algorithm is demonstrated by using the two line elements of a GPS satellite and the CHAMP scientific satellite.
Development of PDMS-based micromachining process for microfluidic reconfigurable antennas / Seyedpour Esmaeilzad, SeyedehNasim; Külah, Haluk; Topallı, Kağan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) The objective of this thesis is to develop fabrication methods to implement microfluidic-based reconfigurable antennas. As the initial structure, a microfluidic based reconfigurable antenna is developed for transmitarrays, which consists of a multi-layered structure incorporating a microfluidic channel to confine liquid metal. The microfluidic channels are fabricated using soft lithography techniques where the channel material is PDMS. PDMS-to-glass and PDMS-to-PDMS bonding processes are optimized to achiev...
