Item A comparison of several methods in tracking short-term trends associated with the precipitation time series(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2020-03-03) Vaheddoost, BabakPrecipitation trends can be linked to large-scale climatic events or cyclic behaviors. However, exploring these patterns in short data records can be problematic. In this study, the monthly precipitation time series recorded across the Bursa district in Turkey were addressed between January 2005 to October 2018. Stations with the minimum data loss and the longest time records in the region were selected for the analysis. Therefore, Osmangazi, Keles, Uludag, Gemlik, Iznik, Karacabey, and Mustafakemalpasa stations were selected. Linear trend (LT), moving average (MA), Mann-Kendall (MK), turn points (TP), Spearman rank-order correlation (SROC), innovative Şen (IS), innovative trend analysis (ITA), changes in distribution (CD), and standardized precipitation index (SPI) methods were used to detect short-term trends in the precipitation time series. Results indicated that the trends, reported by the previous studies could not be reproduced at a monthly scale when using LT, MK, SROC, IS, ITA, and MA. However, the trends observed by the SPI-48 were also tracked down using CD, and SPI methods. It is concluded that the detection of the short-term trends is problematic whilst the outliers deviate results of the analysis. Hence, a combination of CD, ITA, and IS methods is a key in evaluation of the short-term trends within a data run.Publication A laboratory scale investigation of manning roughness coefficient in open channel bed with different grain size and slopes(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2023-07-11) Yılmaz, Damla; Aras, Egemen; Vaheddoost, BabakEfforts for getting the maximum efficiency from the existing water resources and to implement new projects are getting more attention these days. Determining the flow resistance for the project design and control process in open channels requires sophisticated applications. It is usually essential to be aware of the characteristics of the channel and flow to determine the hydraulic roughness, which represents the resistance of the flow. Hence, empirical calculation and evaluation of the hydraulic roughness will support future design and planning processes. In this study, four different particle sizes (d50= 28mm, 17.5mm, 4mm, and 1.75mm) that were fixed on blocks were used. These particle sizes were then used as the bed covering together with, three different horizontal bed slopes, and flow rates in the experiments to determine the associated Manning roughness, n. During the experiment, Froude number values were examined and it was determined that, in 32 experiments the flow regime can be considered as subcritical. Alternatively, the Lotter method was used to confirm the roughness values obtained by the Manning equation. It was concluded that the roughness values obtained by the selected methods have good concordance with each other.
