Many flow problems in environmental, technical and biological systems are characterizedby a distinct interaction between a flow region in porous medium and a free flow region inquasi-one-dimensional hollow structures. Examples for such systems are: Mines: Methane released from unmined coal seams migrates through the porousrocks, but also through tunnels and shafts in the mine. Landslides: A sudden water infiltration through macro-pores may trigger landslides. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells: The supply of reactive gases through free-flowchannels into the porous diffusion layers interacts strongly with the evacuationprocess of the water, which is formed at the cathode reaction layer and flows from theporous diffusion layers into the free-flow channels . Cancer therapy: Therapeutic agents are delivered via the blood vessels into the tissue,targeting the tumor cells.The goal of this study is to introduce new coupling strategies and to develop coupled numericalmodels which can form a basis for further studies modeling the complex systemsmentioned above.In this study, different model concepts based on a dual-continuum strategy for the simulationof coupled porous media flow with lower-dimensional pipe flow are further developedand tested. For the numerical implementation a special grid called 1D pipe network grid ina 3D porous grid is developed.The dual-continuum concept is extended for coupling multi-phase porous media flow withlower-dimensional single-phase pipe flow. The complexity of the considered flow regimesis increased gradually. Examples are given for a coupled single-phase incompressible andcompressible flow in both porous media and pipe flow domains. The single-phase couplingstrategy is tested by comparing the results with results of the experiment done in controlledlaboratory conditions. Furthermore, the coupling of single-phase pipe flow with a multiphaseflow based on Richards equation for the unsaturated soil zone is modeled, where theimportant role of capillary effects for the mass exchange rate between the two continua canbe illustrated. The next model introduces a concept for a two-phase porous media flow coupledwith a single-phase (gas) pipe flow problem, which reveals that the mobility exchangeterm can be decisive for the mass exchange rate. The final model presents a concept forcoupling two-phase two-component porous media flow with single-phase two-componentpipe flow. This model is able to simulate more complicated transport systems by accountingnot only for the mobility exchange term but also for the concentrations of the exchangedcomponents between the continua. It is shown that the concentration of the components ineach continua play a significant role for the compositional ratio of the exchanged mass.

Coupling of Porous Media Flow with Pipe Flow via Dual-Continuum Strategy
Doğan, Mehmet Onur (2008-10-27)
Many flow problems in environmental, technical and biological systems are characterized by a distinct interaction between a flow region in porous medium and a pipe flow region in quasi-one-dimensional hollow structures. Examples for such systems are (i)mines: Methane released from unmined coal seams migrates through the porous rocks, but also through tunnels and shafts in the mine. (ii) Landslides: A sudden water infiltration through macropores may trigger landslides. (iii)Polymer electrolyte membrane f...
Different concepts for the coupling of porous-media flow with lower-dimensional pipe flow
Doğan, Mehmet Onur; Helmig, R. (2009-12-01)
Many flow problems in environmental, technical and biological systems are characterized by a distinct interaction between a flow region in porous-medium and a free-flow region in quasi-one-dimensional hollow structures. In this study, different model concepts, based on a dual-continuum strategy, for the simulation of coupled porous-media flow and (lower-dimensional) pipe flow are further developed and tested. The dual-continuum concept is extended for coupling multi-phase porous-media flow with lower-dimens...
Determination of potential groundwater discharge zones into a Salt Lake using remote sensing techniques and in situ measurements
Kılıç, Ecenur; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (2015-04-17)
Groundwater and surface water are integral components of the hydrologic system with strong feedback mechanisms and hence should be treated as a single resource. Existence of groundwater discharge into lakes is a very significant factor that affects both the water quantity of the lake as well as its ecological and biological diversity. The degree of interaction is more significant for shallow lakes because of their increased vulnerability due to limited volume and rapid changes in the extent and duration of ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATER INTERACTIONS USING THERMAL REMOTE SENSING AND IN-STREAM MEASUREMENTS
Yılmaz, Koray Kamil(2015-12-31)
Surface water and groundwater interact in a dynamic and complex way in variety of hydrologic settings. Hence identification and quantification of exchange processes between surface water and groundwater is essential for developing sustainable water resources management plans, understanding dominant hydrologic processes and identifying geological controls. The objective of this study is to integrate high resolution maps of airborne remotely sensed stream surface temperature measurements with a set of in-stre...
Effect of the downstream transition region of a flow measurement flume of rectangular compound cross section on flow properties
Göğüş, Mustafa; Atalay, Ahmet E. (2013-10-01)
In this study, the effect of the downstream expansion region of a flow measurement flume of rectangular compound cross section on some of the flow properties; such as the discharge coefficient, C-d, the approach velocity coefficient, C and the modular limit, ML were investigated. For this reason, extensive laboratory tests were conducted with nine models of different downstream transitions. The aforementioned hydraulic quantities were then related with the relevant parameters to obtain sets of curves from w...
