Numerical Modelling of the 1995 Dinar Earthquake Effects on Hydrodynamic Regime of Egirdir Lake

Abstract

The effect of earthquakes on closed and semi-closed
 water systems is a research topic that has been studied for many years. The
 lack of continuous measurement systems in closed and semi-closed water systems
 is insufficient to examine and investigate what has happened during the
 earthquake. The morphological structures of the lakes indicate the characteristics
 of the events that occurred during an earthquake. Due to the developing
 technology and research request, some monitoring, measurement stations are
 installed in some lakes, gulfs, estuaries, etc. systems. Today, both higher
 quality measurement and field data can be obtained, and more complicated
 processes are being explored with the help of faster computers. Computational
 fluid dynamics is currently used because of the difficulty in calculating
 hydrodynamic responses of lakes due to earthquake. Investigations on the
 effects of the earthquake condition on the desired closed / semi-closed water
 system studies by using numerical modelling have been continuing increasingly
 in recent years. Both the quality of the bathymetric data gathered from the
 field, the continuous acquisition of both dynamic water level measurement
 systems, and the use of new technologies and systems in the search for base
 materials contribute to the fact that we have more knowledge of the formation,
 behavior and effects of the sorts. In this study, 1995 Dinar Earthquake effects
 on Egirdir Lake hydrodynamic regime was investigated by numerical modelling
 approach.
