Master Thesis Numerical Modeling the Flood Wave as a Result of Ürkmez Dam(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Şahin, Gül Sümeyra; Tayfur, Gökmen; Tayfur, Gökmen; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyDams are constructed to provide benefits to society, hydropower generation, including water supply management and flood control. However, floods caused by failure of a dam is quite catastrophic for lives, properties and environment. Flow models for dam break scenarios ensures crucial information about land use planning and risk managment to minimize flood losses. In this study, estimation of flood innundated areas caused by flood triggered by failure of Urkmez Dam in Izmir is carried out by using HEC-RAS onedimensional (1D) unsteady flow routing model (full Saint Venant equations) and two dimensional model (2D) (full Saint Venant equations or Diffusion wave equations). The experimental distorted physical model provides controlling to simulations. The aim of the paper is to assess the risk of a dam failure potential by comparing performances of 1D and 2D simulations. Two models were compared considering the required data, data preparation, inundated area, flood velocity, flood depth, and flood waves.Article Citation - WoS: 76Citation - Scopus: 84Two-Dimensional Numerical Modeling of Flood Wave Propagation in an Urban Area Due To Ürkmez Dam-Break, Izmir, Turkey(Springer Verlag, 2016) Haltas, İsmail; Tayfur, Gökmen; Elçi, Şebnem; Tayfur, Gökmen; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis study investigated flood inundation in an urban area due to a possible failure of Ürkmez Dam in İzmir, Turkey. The estimation of flood hydrograph upon partial failure of the dam and routing of the flood hydrograph along the narrow valley downstream were first performed by the one-dimensional hydraulic routing model HEC-RAS. The two-dimensional hydraulic routing model FLO-2D is then used to simulate the spreading of the dam-break flood after the flood wave exits the valley. Land use and land cover digital maps were utilized to find the spatially varying roughness coefficient for the floodplain. The influence of the buildings on the flood propagation was represented in the numerical model by the area reduction factor as well as the width reduction factor. The peak flow depth, peak flow velocity and time moment of the peak flow depth maps were shown in the GIS environment. The results reveal that flow depths can reach about 3 m in the residential area. In about 40 min after the dam-break, houses in the large section of the town would be under the maximum flow depths. The two-dimensional hydrodynamic model results were tested against experimental dam-break flow data of the distorted physical model of Ürkmez Dam, which is consisted of the reservoir, dam body and downstream area including Ürkmez Town. The model successfully simulated experimental flow depth data measured at different measurement locations.
