Distorted physical model to study sudden partial dam break flows in an urban area
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014-11)
A distorted physical model, based on Ürkmez Dam in Izmir, Turkey, was built to study sudden partial dam break flows. The distorted model had a horizontal scale of 1/150 and a vertical scale of 1/30, containing dam reservoir, ...
Modeling pollutant transport in overland flow over non-planar and non-homogenous infiltrating surfaces
(Zhejiang University Press, 2013-02)
Pollutant transport in overland flow over surfaces with spatially varying microtopography, roughness, and infiltration was investigated using the diffusion wave equation and transport rate-based equation. The finite volume ...
Calculation of the time-varying mean velocity by different methods and determination of the turbulence intensities
(Academic Journals, 2010)
The raw velocity data for both stream-wise and transversal directions in unsteady flows, which are formed by generating input hydrograph, are obtained by using a flow tracker. The same hydrograph is generated 15 times and ...
Modern optimization methods in water resources planning, engineering and management
(Springer, 2017-08)
Mathematical (analytical, numerical and optimization) models are employed in many disciplines including the water resources planning, engineering and management. These models can vary from a simple black-box model to a ...
Investigating a suitable empirical model and performing regional analysis for the suspended sediment load prediction in major rivers of the Aegean Region, Turkey
(Springer, 2017-02)
This study investigates the appropriateness of four major empirical methods [Lane and Kalinske, Einstein, Brooks, Chang—Simons—Richardson] for predicting suspended sediment loads (SSLs) in three major rivers in the Aegean ...
Prediction of suspended sediment concentration from water quality variables
(Springer, 2014-04)
This study investigates use of water quality (WQ) variables, namely total chromium concentration, total iron concentration, and turbidity for predicting suspended sediment concentration (SSC). For this purpose, the artificial ...
Strength prediction of high-strength concrete by fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014-11-01)
High-strength concretes (HSC) were prepared with five different binder contents, each of which had several silica fume (SF) ratios (0-15%). The compressive strength was determined at 3, 7, and 28 days, resulting in a total ...
Principle component analysis in conjuction with data driven methods for sediment load prediction
(Springer, 2013-05)
This study investigates sediment load prediction and generalization from laboratory scale to field scale using principle component analysis (PCA) in conjunction with data driven methods of artificial neural networks (ANNs) ...
Numerical simulation of flood wave propagation in two-dimensions in densely populated urban areas due to dam break
(Springer, 2016-12-01)
Dams are important structures having many functions such as water supply, flood control, hydroelectric power and recreation. Although dam break failures are very rare events, dams can fail with little warning and the damage ...
Analysis and assessment of hydrochemical characteristics of Maragheh-Bonab Plain aquifer, Northwest of Iran
(Springer, 2017-02)
The present study aims at assessing the hydrochemistry of the groundwater system of the Maragheh-Bonab Plain located in the East Azarbaijan Province, northwest of Iran. The groundwater is used mainly for drinking, agriculture ...
