Optimization of Hydraulic Machinery Bladings by Multilevel CFD Techniques by Susanne Thum, Rudolf Schilling

“…To guarantee a sufficiently accurate result, the code is calibrated by a Navier-Stokes recalculation of the initial design and can be recalibrated after a number of optimization steps by another Navier-Stokes computation. After having got a convergent solution, the optimization process is repeated on the second level using a full 3D Euler code yielding a more accurate flow prediction. …”

Scenario-Based Risk Assessment for Düzce Province by Zeynep Mıhçı, Hüseyin Bayraktar

“…The most important result we obtained as a result of the earthquake scenario prepared for Düzce province; The fact that the ten neighborhoods we examined in the central district of Düzce are at a critical point on the fault line and Most of the buildings here were affected by the 17 August 1999 Izmit Gulf earthquake, If the buildings encounter a possible earthquake of this magnitude, it may be effective in the high number of dead and injured. Another important finding is; The main purpose of earthquake risk analyzes is to determine the number of tents that may be needed in advance and the area required for the tent. …”

Source apportionment of the sediments entering dam using lithological and mineralogical studies by S. Afshar, B. Saghafian, H.R. Vosoughifar

“…Accordingly, acidic and alkaline formations, mudstone, and siltstone of Karaj area formations, the gypsum of upper red formation, particularly at places with steep slope with a dominance of rangeland land use type, are main origins of sediments in the Taleghan reservoir. In another hand, the control of sediments at these areas would substantially decrease total sediment yields of the entire basin as in the dam reservoir.…”
