Abstract

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using image analysis methods to examine the flow characteristics of air bubbles discharged underwater. A bubble screen was created using multiple nozzles in a laboratory flume filled with stagnant water. The flow characteristics of the bubbles were analyzed, and the suitability of the analysis method was evaluated. Several parameters, such as projection area ratio and depth ratio, were defined to conduct laboratory experiments and analyze the flow characteristics of the bubbles. Correlation and regression analyses were performed to assess the relationships between various variables. Specifically, the correlation between the bubble's projection area and its rising speed across eight water depth ratios was examined. The results indicated that as the depth ratio increased, the bubble size exhibited a linear increase with a strong correlation as it rose to the water surface due to pressure effects. Regarding the sensitivity of different grid sizes in the ten analysis grids when applying image analysis methods, it was observed that the sensitivity to grid size based on the projection area ratio (0.09~0.96) was not significant. These findings suggest that image analysis techniques can be effectively utilized to observe the flow characteristics of bubbles.

본 연구에서는 수중에서 방출되는 기포의 유동특성 분석 및 거동을 해석을 위해 이용하는 영상분석기법의 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 실내실험을 수행하고 기포유동장 해석을 위한 격자의 민감도 분석을 하였다. 실내실험 수로 내에 정지유체 상태에서 여러 개의 노즐을 이용하여 기포를 발생시켜 기포장벽을 만들고 유동특성을 검토함으로써 분석방법의 적절성과 해석격자의 민감도를 분석하였다. 수리실험을 통한 기포의 유동특성을 분석하기 위해 해석격자에 대한 기포의 평균투영면적의 비인 투영면적비, 해석영역의 중심부 수심과 총수심과의 비인 수심비 등 매개변수를 정의하고, 각각의 변수간의 관계를 파악하기 위하여 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 8가지 수심비에 따른 기포투영면적, 기포상승속도와의 관계를 분석한 결과, 수심비가 증가할수록 압력의 영향으로 인해 수면으로 상승할수록 기포의 크기는 높은 상관성을 가지며 선형적으로 증가하였다. 영상분석기법 적용을 위한 8가지 해석격자의 크기별 민감도 영향에서 투영면적비(0.09~0.96)에 따른 격자크기에 대한 민감도는 크지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 영상분석기법이 기포의 유동특성을 관측할 수 있는 적절한 기법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
