Current methods utilized in scaling sediment transport in unsteady open-channel flow result in a number of model and scale effects, decreasing the accuracy and applicability of scale models. Identifying the conditions under which the governing equations of sediment transport are self-similar, and require no sediment diameter or density scaling, can reduce scale effects and increase model applicability. Conditions for self-similarity of one-dimensional unsteady suspended sediment transport are identified by applying the one-parameter Lie group of point scaling transformations, both for the general case and with unscaled sediment diameters. Under the scaling ratio relations found when holding sediment diameter to be unscaled, sediment diameter, density, critical and total shear, porosity, kinematic viscosity, and particle Reynolds number are all unscaled. It is shown that under Lie group scaling, the unsteady one-dimensional suspended sediment transport process as an initial-boundary value problem in the prototype domain can be self-similar with that of a variety of different scaled domains. The scaled values of sediment variables at specified temporal and spatial locations can then be upscaled to the corresponding values in the prototype domain.

Formation of air-entraining vortices at horizontal intakes without approach flow induced circulation
Göğüş, Mustafa; Köken, Mete (2016-02-01)
The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the effects of hydraulic parameters on the formation of air-entraining vortices at horizontal intake structures without approach flow induced circulation. Six intake pipes of different diameters were tested in the study. The intake pipe to be tested was horizontally mounted to the front side of a large reservoir and then for a wide range of discharges experiments were conducted and critical submergences were detected with adjustable approach channel sidew...
Yielding and Elastoplastic Deformation of Annular Disks of a Parabolic Section Subject to External Compression
Akgül, Ferhat (2005-01-01)
A computational model is developed to predict partially plastic stresses in variable thickness annular disks subject to radial compression. The model is based on the von Mises' yield criterion, deformation theory of plasticity and a Swift type hardening law. Considering a thickness profile in the form of a general parabolic function, the condition of occurrence of plastic deformation at the inner and outer edges of the annular disk is investigated. A critical disk profile is determined and the corresponding...
Logic tree for ground motion characterization of the vertical component: a case study based on updated Turkish ground motion database
Agha Alipour, Nima; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Earthquake Studies (2019)
Two approaches are used to develop the vertical design spectra in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA): performing the PSHA for the vertical component using vertical ground motion models (GMMs) and utilizing the V/H ratio GMMs to scale the horizontal spectrum during or after the hazard calculations for the horizontal component. This study intends to develop a new framework for building the vertical ground motion logic tree that combines both vertical and V/H ratio GMMs in the PSHA analysis. The ma...
Dynamic response analysis of the machine foundations on a nonhomogeneous soil layer
Aşık, Mehmet Zülfü (1999-01-01)
Real modulus of elasticity of the soil usually increases with the depth of the soil due to the increase in overburden pressure. Therefore, incorporation of the effect of the soil inhomogeneity in the formulation to obtain the response of the machine foundations is an important and a necessary step. In this paper, equations that govern the dynamic behavior of the machine foundations and consider the inhomogeneity of the elastic foundation, particularly for Gibson type soil are derived by using variational pr...
SENSITIVITY OF RADIATION MODELING TO PROPERTY ESTIMATION TECHNIQUES IN THE FREEBOARD OF LIGNITE- FIRED BUBBLING FLUIDIZED BED COMBUSTORS ( BFBCs)
Ozen, G.; Selçuk, Nevin (2014-05-04)
Predictive accuracy and computationally efficiency of method of lines (MOL) solution of the discrete ordinate method (DOM) coupled with different radiative property estimation techniques (GG, SLW, SNBCK) are assessed by applying them to the prediction of incident radiative fluxes along the freeboard walls of a 0.3 MWt atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed combustor (ABFBC) and comparing their predictions with measurements generated previously from two runs one without and the other with recycle. Freeboard is t...
