A mathematical model is developed to simulate the hydraulic behaviour and the biodegradation process in a landfill site. The model incorporates governing equations that describe processes influencing the leachate production and the biochemical processes taking place during the stabilisation of organic wastes, including leachate flow, hydrolysis, acidogenic, and methanogenesis. The model considers the significant changes in moisture distribution and leachate quality that may occur during the operational period of the landfill. The model results are compared with the leachate production, chloride concentration, BOD, pH, and methane production data from Keele Valley Landfill in Ontario, Canada. Encouraging agreement has been observed between the real landfill data and the model results.

Modeling of landfill settlement: Theory Durmusoglu, E.; Corapcioglu, M.y.; Tuncay, Kağan (null; 2005-12-01) Theory of a one-dimensional multiphase mathematical model developed to simulate the settlement involving liquid and gas flows in a compressible landfill is presented. Landfill domain is assumed comprised of a deformable solid matrix, a liquid phase, and a gas phase with transient gas generation. After a two-phase model, i.e., liquid and gas phase, was developed, a solid phase was incorporated into the model. A gas generation term was employed as source and sink for solid and gas phases. After governing equa...
Simulation of water exchange in enclosed water bodies Ozhan, E; Balas, L (2003-01-01) A 0-D (box type) mathematical flushing model and a three-dimensional baroclinic numerical model have been presented that are used to simulate transport processes in coastal waters. The numerical model consists of hydrodynamic, transport and turbulence model components. In the hydrodynamic model component, the Navier-Stokes equations are solved with the Boussinesq approximation. The transport model component consists of the pollutant transport model and the water temperature and salinity transport models. In...
Numerical simulation of scour at the rear side of a coastal revetment Şentürk, Barış Ufuk; Guler, Hasan Gokhan; Baykal, Cüneyt (2023-05-01) This paper presents the results of a numerical modeling study on the scouring of unprotected rear side material of a rubble mound coastal revetment due to the overtopping of solitary-like waves utilizing a coupled hydro-morphodynamic computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. Three cases having various wave heights are tested with six different turbulence models together with different wall functions. The hydrodynamic results (free-surface elevations, overtopping volumes, and jet thicknesses) and morphologic...
Landfill settlement with decomposition and gas generation Durmusoglu, E; Corapcioglu, MY; Tuncay, Kağan (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-09-01) A one-dimensional multiphase numerical model is developed to simulate the vertical settlement involving liquid and gas flows in a deformable.(settling) municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill. MSW is represented by a chemical composition, and a global stoichiometric reaction is used to estimate the maximum yield of gas generation. Following the general assumption accepted in the literature, the gas generated by waste decomposition is assumed to comprise of in I ethane (CH4)and carbon dioxide (CO2). The gas gen...
Passive damping and seismic isolation steel devices with displacement-dependent hardening Dicleli, Murat (null; 2018-02-02) In this paper, a summary of analytical and experimental studies into the behaviour of a new hysteretic damper and a seismic isolator designed for seismic protection of structures is presented. The Multi-directional Torsional Hysteretic Damper (MRSD) and its isolator version MARTI (Multi-Directional Adaptive Torsional Isolator) are patented inventions in which a symmetrical arrangement of identical cylindrical steel cores is so configured as to yield in torsion while the structure experiences planar movement...
