Conference Object Numerical Flood Models in the Projected Waste Disposal Site in Izmir(International Water Association, 2017) Akdeğirmen, Özgün; Baba, AlperDetermination the location of waste disposal sites has always been a challenge for researchers and government organizations. Since the problem on fundamental level is complicated and bound to several of parameters. The effects of the project from the perspectives of economic, social and environmental should be evaluated delicately. This study focuses on surface water accumulation and flood effects; one of the several criteria at the step of decision making to determine the location of waste disposal sites. As a candidate area Yamanlar region (Izmir), where is located on the caldera, is chosen for examining from surface water effects.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Transport Capacity Models for Unsteady and Non-Equilibrium Sediment Transport in Alluvial Channels(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Tayfur, Gökmen; Singh, Vijay P.This study investigates transport capacity models based on different dominant variables-shear stress, stream power, unit stream power, flow discharge, flow velocity, and energy slope - in a model of unsteady and non-equilibrium sediment transport in alluvial channels. The model simulates fully coupled system of water flow, suspended sediment, and bed load sediment transport processes in two-layer system of water flow phase and movable bed. The model employs conservation of mass equation for the water in both the layers; suspended sediment in the water flow phase; sediment in the movable bed layer; and the momentum equation for the water flow in the flow phase. The system is closed by relating the sediment flux in the movable bed layer to the sediment concentration in the same layer by employing the kinematic wave theory. Using the sediment transport capacity expression with different dominant variables, a series of numerical experiments are carried out for unsteady and non-equilibrium sediment transport. The results seem theoretically reasonable for hypothetical cases. The model is calibrated and validated using different experimental data sets. The calibrated value for the transport capacity model's exponent (ki) is found to be 1.50, 1.65, 0.24, 0.56, 4.80, and 0.22 for shear stress, stream power, unit stream power, discharge, velocity, and slope approaches, respectively. The numerical investigation results show that transport capacity model based on any dominant variable can be employed for modelling unsteady and non-equilibrium sediment transport.Article Citation - WoS: 60Citation - Scopus: 69Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Bed-Load Transport Under Unsteady Flows(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011) Bombar, Gökçen; Elçi, Şebnem; Tayfur, Gökmen; Güney, M. Şükrü; Bor, AslıThe dynamic behavior of bed-load sediment transport under unsteady flow conditions is experimentally and numerically investigated. A series of experiments are conducted in a rectangular flume (18 m in length, 0.80 m in width) with various triangular and trapezoidal shaped hydrographs. The flume bed of 8 cm in height consists of scraped uniform small gravel of D 50=4.8 mm. Analysis of the experimental results showed that bed-load transport rates followed the temporal variation of the triangular and trapezoidal hydrographs with a time lag on the average of 11 and 30 s, respectively. The experimental data were also qualitatively investigated employing the unsteady-flow parameter and total flow work index. The analysis results revealed that total yield increased exponentially with the total flow work. An original expression which is based on the net acceleration concept was proposed for the unsteadiness parameter. Analysis of the results then revealed that the total yield increased exponentially with the increase in the value of the proposed unsteadiness parameter. Further analysis of the experimental results revealed that total flow work has an inverse exponential variation relation with the lag time. A one-dimensional numerical model that employs the governing equations for the conservation of mass for water and sediment and the momentum was also developed to simulate the experimental results. The momentum equation was approximated by the diffusion wave approach, and the kinematic wave theory approach was employed to relate the bed sediment flux to the sediment concentration. The model successfully simulated measured sedimentographs. It predicted sediment yield, on the average, with errors of 7% and 15% of peak loads for the triangular and trapezoidal hydrograph experiments, respectively.
