    Improved Equations for the Profile of a Vertical Air-Core Vortex
    (Korean Society of Civil Engineers-ksce, 2023) Yildirim, Nevzat; Tastan, Kerem
    The available formulas for the profile of a vertical non-air-entraining vortex are not practical because they involve unknown parameters and need measurements of the local viscous-core radii across the height of the air-core vortex. Also, these formulas can not be used for the air-entraining vortices. In the present study, the available formulas involving unknown parameters were further improved. Findings are as follows. 1) the magnitudes of the unknown parameters vary across the height of the profile of the air-core vortex and they are the function of the ratio of the height of the air-core vortex to the submergence of the intake; 2) simple charts and formulas were obtained for the variations of the unknown parameters for the air-core vortices with and without an intake; 3) in lieu of the local viscous-core radius, the radius at the half-depth of the profile of the air-core vortex was used; 4) no laborious work of measurements are needed to determine the local viscous-core radii along the profile of the vortex; and 5) the improved formulas are in good agreement with available test data for the profiles of both the non-air-entraining and the air-entraining vortices with or without a vertically flowing downward intake.

    A Finite Grid Solution for Circular Plates on Elastic Foundations
    (Korean Society of Civil Engineers-ksce, 2015) Karasin, Halim; Gulkan, Polat; Aktas, Gultekin
    The transmission of vertical or horizontal structural forces to the supporting soil is a challenge to analyze for structures on elastic foundation which represent a complex medium. The two-parameter elastic foundation model that provides a mechanical interaction between the individual spring elements shows a more realistic behavior of the soil reaction than does the single parameter Winkler model. Since the structural behavior of a beam resembles that of a strip in a plate, in this study, the exact stiffness and mass matrices of the beam element on two-parameter elastic foundation is extended to plates. The framework method that replaces a continuous surface by an idealized discrete system can represent a two-dimensional plate. In the light of this situation, circular plates are modeled as an assemblage of individual beam elements interconnected at their neighboring joints in radial and tangential direction. So, a useful tool called finite grid solution as a numerical method developed in this study lead to solve circular plates resting on two parameter elastic foundation problems. Examples for bending of ring, circular and annual plates on elastic foundation are solved to compare with known analytical solutions and other numerical solutions. The comparisons show that the literature and the computed results are compatible.
