    Extreme Value Statistics of Wind Speed and Wave Height of the Marmara Sea Based on Combined Radar Altimeter Data
    (Elsevier, 2019) Özbahçeci, Bergüzar; Özbahçeci, Bergüzar; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Both reliable and long-term wind and wave data are necessary for the design of coastal and offshore structures. Due to lack of sufficient in-situ measurement data, modeling data have been used in the limited number of wind and wave climate studies of the Marmara Sea. Satellites equipped with instruments capable of observing marine surface wind and ocean waves like Radar Altimeter can be another source for the long term wind and wave climate of the Marmara Sea. In this study, for the first time, the altimeter wind speed and the significant wave height data from different satellite missions are attempted to use in the climate and extreme value analysis of the Marmara Sea. Altimeter wind speeds and significant wave heights are compared with the in-situ measurements and it is found that while the altimeter wind speed agrees with the measurement data, the significant wave height data should be calibrated. After the calibration of the altimeter data and the inter-calibrations of earlier satellite missions, 27 years of altimeter wind speed and wave height data are obtained to use in extreme value analysis. The wind speed and the significant wave height values corresponding to various return periods are determined as a result of extreme value statistics and those values are compared with the results of the measurements and previous studies. Consistent extreme values computed in the current study indicate that the combined radar altimeter data can be used in the wind and the wave climate calculations and the extreme value analysis of the Marmara Sea. © 2019 COSPAR

    Effect of the Armor Crest Freeboard Relative To the Crown Wall Freeboard on Wave Overtopping for Simple Rubble Mound Slopes
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Özbahçeci, Bergüzar; Özbahçeci, Bergüzar; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Several studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of crest parameters on the wave overtopping for armored slopes with crown walls. However, the effect of the armor crest freeboard is still under question. In this study, for the first time, a series of hydraulic model experiments are conducted specifically to investigate how the armor crest freeboard relative to the crown wall freeboard affects the wave overtopping rate. Experimental results indicate that while the armor crest freeboard lower than the crown wall freeboard is giving larger overtopping, higher armor crest freeboard is reducing the overtopping. However, this reduction is not same as the reduction due to the increase in the crown wall freeboard. The reason may be the porosity of the armor crest. For the first time, a new correction factor is proposed to describe the change in the wave overtopping due to the armor crest freeboard by using experimental results. The correction factor C Ac is applied to cover the effect of armor crest freeboard in the predictions of EurOtop (2016). The verification study present that overtopping rate predictions of corrected EurOtop (2016) are more consistent with the measured rate results compared to the predictions of the original formula, if the armor crest freeboard is not equal to the crown wall freeboard.
