Discrete element based analyses of structure-reservoir problem for gravity dams Soysal Albostan, Berat Feyza; Arıcı, Yalın; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-1-25) The prediction of the nonlinear behavior of gravity dams under seismic actions is challenging. Firstly, a clear damage indicator to quantify the performance limits of such structures is limited. Besides, a proper numerical model producing reliable results both in the linear and nonlinear ranges for the dam body has to be established, coupled with its surrounding reservoir. This study is focused on damage assessment of gravity dams with the goal of determining seismic and post-seismic behavior considering cr...
Discrete fracture network modeling in a carbon dioxide flooded heavy oil reservoir Shiriyev, Javid; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2014) Fracture analysis is crucial because of their abundance in reservoirs and can have a strong effect on fluid flow patterns. Accordingly, Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model is an efficient alternative approach to modeling fractured reservoirs and it is a special tool that considers fluid flow and transport processes in fractured rock masses through a system of connected fractures. Unlike Dual Porosity Model, where a continuum approach is applied, DFN uses detailed information about fracture and fracture co...
Discrete fracture network modeling in Alaşehir geothermal field Aydın, Hakkı; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2018) Understanding of fractures network and fracture characteristic properties is essential for an effective geothermal reservoir management. Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) is one of the widely used approach to characterize fractured reservoirs. DFN modeling approach uses fracture geometry, conductivity and connectivity to create a fracture network. In this study, DFN modeling is used to characterize Alaşehir geothermal reservoir, which consists from heavily fractured marble and schist. Fracture parameters such...
Discrete event simulation of the post-earthquake restoration process for electric power systems Ertuğrul, Zehra (2007-01-01) This paper describes a discrete event simulation model of the post-earthquake restoration process for electric power systems. The model explicitly represents the real-life restoration process, enabling development of geographically disaggregated, quantitative restoration curves with uncertainty bounds, a dynamic map showing the spatial distribution of outages changing over time, and information on how personnel and repair materials are used throughout the process. The new restoration modelling approach is a...
Discrete size optimization of steel trusses using a refined big bang-big crunch algorithm Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-02) This article presents a methodology that provides a method for design optimization of steel truss structures based on a refined big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) algorithm. It is shown that a standard formulation of the BB-BC algorithm occasionally falls short of producing acceptable solutions to problems from discrete size optimum design of steel trusses. A reformulation of the algorithm is proposed and implemented for design optimization of various discrete truss structures according to American Institute of St...
