The drag reduction effect of a freely-rotatable splitter plate was experimentally investigated in the 2-D wake behind a circular cylinder. By arranging the splitter plate to be aparted with a certain gap from the cylinder, the splitter plate was able to be aligned itself automatically to the flow direction in the tested range of 6.2$\times$$10^3$$\times$$10^4$. As a result, it was proven that the self-adjustable splitter plate always reduced effectively the drag imposed on the body against any arbitrary flow directions. In a specific range of Reynolds numbers, the drag reduction effect was dependent not only on the length of the splitter plate but also on the gap distance between the plate and the trailing edge of the body. For a splitter plate with a specific length, there existed a unique optimum range of gap distance to obtain successfully the drag reduction effect, however, the optimum range of gap distance was dependent on Reynolds number.

발전 설비는 기대 수명동안의 안정성을 확보하기 위하여 해당 규격에 부합하도록 설계하여 건설된다. 하지만 가동 중 다양한 복합 환경에 노출됨에 따라 구조물을 이루고 있는 재료의 열화 현상이 가속화되어 예기치 못한 파손이 발생할 수 있다. 기계적 물성은 재료의 기계적 거동을 나타내는 주요 척도가 되며 이는 신뢰성 및 안전과 직결된다. 하지만 기존의 역학물성을 측정하는 대부분의 시험법들은 특정 크기의 시편을 요구하고 파괴적인 시험법이기 때문에 가동 중 시설물에 적용하기가 불가능하였다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하고자 비파괴적이고 정량적인 시험이 가능한 연속압입시험법이 최근 각광받는 시험법으로서 많은 연구자들에 의해 연구되고 있다. 이 시험법은 시험 대상물의 형상에 제약을 받지 않으며 시험 절차가 매우 간단하다는 장점을 가진다. 또한 대상의 국소 부위에 시험할 수 있어 취약 부위 판별이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 대표응력-대표변형률 기법을 통하여 인장물성을 평가하고, 압입 하중 차이를 이용하여 소재에 존재하는 잔류응력을 평가하는 기법을 소개한다. 또한, 연속압입시험을 이용하여 실제 발전소 파이프의 취약부위로 알려진 용접부에 대하여 인장물성 및 잔류응력을 측정함으로써 실제 산업체의 신뢰성 평가가 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

에너지 다소비원인 공공하수처리시설은 기후협약에 따른 온실가스 저감시설로서의 그 역할이 증대되고 있다. 환경부는 '하수처리시설 에너지 자립화 계획'을 통해 2015년까지 에너지 자립율 18%를 목표로 하고 있으며, 이를 위해서는 신재생에너지를 이용한 능동적 에너지 생산이 필요하다. 소수력발전은 공급 안정성이 우수하고 소수력발전은 일정한 처리수가 방류되는 하수처리장에 적용되었을 때 그 가동율은 하천에서의 소수력발전에 비하여 우수하다고 알려져 있으며, 향후 하수처리장에 널리 보급될 수 있는 청정에너지원이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기흥 레스피아에서 처리되는 하수를 이용한 소수력발전이 검토되었다. 최근 5년간 방류량 자료를 살펴보면 기흥 레스피아의 일평균 실제 처리량은 약 $30,000m^3/day$로 나타났으며, 우수 유입과 물 사용량이 증가하는 여름 및 가을에 처리량이 증가하였다. 설계유량은 유량변화에 따른 누적 확률밀도와 유량지속곡선에 근거해 산정하였으며, 시간빈도(T)로 보았을 때 26%의 유량이 지속되는 $0.35m^3/s$를 설계유량으로 선정하였다(그림 1). 또한 이를 기반으로 성능특성을 분석한 결과, 단위낙차당 수차발전기의 용량은 2.4kW이며, 시스템 가동율은 74%, 그리고 연 전력생산량은 16.6MWh로 나타났다(그림 2).

This study proposes a formula to calculate length of river bed protection through experimental research and an experimental plant has been installed to investigate the parameters which influence the length of scouring in the river after overflowing the weir. Through hydraulic experiments, the critical velocity, difference of water level between upstream and downstream and height of weir have been selected as independent variables. And new formula to calculate a length of river bed protection is suggested as the result of this study in the consideration of complex weir that consists of movable and fixed weir. The new formula is verified through additional experiments. Results of this study can be used for weir structures' construction and maintenance plans.

In the present study, the influences on the gap cavitaiton of the semi-spade rudder are investigated experimentally in the condition with propeller and hull wakes. To reduce the scale effect in the given experimental conditions, 1/28.5-scale-down models of propeller and rudder are manufactured. We have the propeller rotate ahead of the rudder, inducing the three dimensional effects originated from the propeller action. Experimental methods are composed of the cavitation observation using high speed camera, PIV (particle image velocimetry) measurements to visualize the cavitaition and flows around the gap. The propeller slipstream affects both of the gap flows and cavitation of the rudder.

In railroad operation, turnout is the device designed to provide very critical functions of moving the train to the neighboring rail. It's the only movable section among the rail and track equipment, which has a complicated structure and as rapid movement between the wheel and rail during operation is unavoidable, the safety and the vibration caused by the impact load of the passing train becomes always the major concern. Response to rail vibration tends to vary depending on physical properties of the rail, rail base and the ground, making it difficult to estimate the quantitative outcome through the measurement. Thus, experimental or empirical approach, rather than an analytic method, has been more commonly employed to deal with the ground vibration. To predict the vibration of the turnout, an experimental value and the measured values are applied in parallel to the factors with a high degree of uncertainty. This study hence was intended to compare and analyze the vibration values measured at the crossing part of manganese turnout by type of train and turnout and distance, as well as predict the intensity of vibration generated at the crossing part of manganese turnout when tilting train accelerates.

Water management agencies under the Ministry of Environment produce and accumulate qualified basic data for major rivers. However, the integrated management of the river water has been weak since the artificial water circulation process, such as the intaking and drainage of agricultural water, has not been examined in the basin, which includes many agricultural land. In this study, a study was conducted on how the power usage method (operating time method) based on the running time can be applied and improved among indirect flow rate measurement methods used to investigate flow rates collected by the riverside for agricultural water purposes, and thus the resultant data of high reliability can be obtained at low cost. The operation time method is suitable for small-scale water pumping stations where it is difficult to secure real-time power supply data. The reliability of the data was verified through the correlation analysis with the actual flow rate, and it was found that the flow rate calculated by the operation time method reflecting the level of the stream to which the inlet of the pumping station is connected can be reasonably matched with the actual flow rate. In addition, it was confirmed that the investment cost at the time of initial installation of the facility was highly efficient by generating qualified flow data at low cost through comparison with direct flow rate measurement methods. If flow data is secured by applying the operation time method to large and small water farms located along the riverside, it is expected that more quantitative and integrated stream water management will be possible.

한강 하류부의 잠실 및 신곡 수중보가 흐름에 미치는 영향을 적절히 모의할 수 있도록 FLDWAV 모형을 수정, 개선하였다. 고정좌 측에서 발생하는 월류형 흐름에 대해서는 월류 유량 관계식을, 가동보 측에서의 하도형 흐름에 대해서는 Manning 형의 유량관계식을 각각 적용함으로써 복합적인 형태의 수중보 흐름을 모의하도록 하였다. 월류 유량식으로는 수중 위어형 및 자유 월류형 흐름에 대한 식들이 적용 가능하며, 가동보 개방 시 또는 미개방 시의 흐름을 모두 모의할 수 있다. 모형의 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 수중보 지점에서의 다양한 조건에 대하여 계산을 수행한 결과, 각 경우에 대한 배수효과가 잘 모의되었다. 평수시 흐름에 대한 모의 기능을 검사한 결과, 수중보의 존재로 인한 수위의 불연속성이 잘 모의되었다.

In this study, it is demonstrated by a pseudo dynamic earthquake response tests that combination of semi-rigid partial-strength using the high performance-high strength bolts and inter-story hysteretic damper system creates a fairly good structural system that satisfies not only the serviceability requirement under moderate earthquakes but unexpected failure of damper system.
