The fundamental hydrodynamic behavior of the Bosphorus Strait is investigated through a numerical modeling study using alternative configurations of idealized or realistic geometry. Strait geometry and basin stratification conditions allow for hydraulic controls and are ideally suited to support the maximal-exchange regime, which determines the rate of exchange of waters originating from the adjacent Black and Mediterranean Seas for a given net transport. Steady-state hydraulic controls are demonstrated by densimetric Froude number calculations under layered flow approximations when corrections are applied to account for high velocity shears typically observed in the Bosphorus. Analyses of the model results reveal many observed features of the strait, including critical transitions at hydraulic controls and dissipation by turbulence and hydraulic jumps. It is found that the solution depends on initialization, especially with respect to the basin initial conditions. Significant differences between the controlled maximal-exchange and drowned solutions suggest that a detailed modeling implementation involving coupling with adjacent basins needs to take full account of the Bosphorus Strait in terms of the physical processes to be resolved.

Design of V-shaped array geometry Filik, Tansu; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Yasar, T. Kaya (2007-06-13) in this study, a new design method is proposed for V-shaped planar array geometry for two-dimensional azimuth and elevation angle estimation. The proposed method is similar to filter design in signal processing. This method determines the V-shaped array geometry which gives the best 2-D angle estimation performances for the specified design parameters. The best geometry is determined by using Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) and performance comparison is done with other planar array geometries.
TESTING, MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF LINEAR AND CIRCULAR LINEAR SHAPED CHARGES Top, Mert; Dal, Hüsnü; Yıldırım, Raif Orhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-7-28) In this thesis, testing, modelling, and simulation studies of the Linear Shaped Charge (LSC) and Circular Linear Shaped Charge (CLSC) are presented. CLSC is an alternative design to the Flexible Linear Shaped Charge (FLSC). It contains a copper liner and metal housing which are designed and produced by considering the target profile. Then, a molten explosive (PBX-110) is cured inside the copper and housing, so the CLSC production is completed. By following this production method, different LSC and CLSC conf...
Forced hydraulic jump on artificially roughened beds Şimşek, Çağdaş; Tokyay, Nuray; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In the scope of the study, prismatic roughness elements with different longitudinal spacing and arrangements have been tested in a rectangular flume in order to reveal their effects on fundamental characteristics of a hydraulic jump. Two basic roughness types with altering arrangements have been tested. Roughness elements of the first type extends through the channel width against the flow with varying length and pitch ratios for different arrangements. The second type is of staggered essence and produced b...
Nonlinear modelling and control of the flow over aerofoils using CFD simulations Karaca, H. D.; Alıcı, Gökçen Deniz; KASNAKOĞLU, Coşku (2016-09-01) A simulation based approach for nonlinear dynamical modelling and feedback control of the drag to lift ratio for aerofoils is investigated through case studies involving NACA 23012, ag13 and b737a aerofoils. The flow around the aerofoils is studied via numerical solutions of the 2D Navier-Stokes (NS) equations. A standard computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver is extended to be able to measure desired feedback values and to apply a control input to the flow field. The proposed modelling and control appro...
Uniform and Non-Uniform V-shaped Arrays for 2-D DOA Estimation Filik, Tansu; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Yasar, T. Kaya (2008-04-22) In this study, a new method for optimum design of uniform and non-uniform V-shaped arrays is presented for azimuth and elevation angle estimation. The proposed design method finds an optimum angle between the linear sub-arrays of the V-array by using the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) where statistical coupling effect between azimuth and elevation angle estimation is considered This method can be used to obtain directional and isotropic angle performances for uniform and non-uniform V-arrays. For non-uniform isotro...
