도수는 사류가 상류로 천이되며 흐름이 불연속적으로 변하는 현상이다. 도수는 롤러와 벽 제트와 같은 흐름이 발생하는 영역으로 구분되며 큰 에너지 손실을 발생시키므로, 보나 댐과 같은 수리시설물에서는 에너지 소산을 위한 목적으로 도수를 발생시킬 수 있다. 도수구간 중 롤러 영역에서는 공기가 유입되어 복잡한 3차원 2상 흐름을 발생시키므로 공기방울의 거동에 대한 정밀한 모의는 매우 중요한 것으로 평가된다. 그러나 현실적으로 롤러 영역에서의 작은 공기방울까지 재현하는 것은 어려운 일이다. 본 연구에서는 k-ω SST 난류모형을 이용하여 수문 아래에서 발생하는 자유도수를 수치모의하고 연행된 공기량에 대한 특성을 검토하였다. 롤러 영역에서 격자의 해상도를 다르게 하여 도수구간 내 공기의 체적비와 공기방울의 크기 및 공기방울의 거동을 분석하였다. 실내 실험자료에 난류모형을 적용하고 그 결과와 비교하여 모의 결과의 적정성을 확인하였다. 또한 도수구간에서 공기방울 거동의 정밀한 모의가 평균흐름 및 난류량의 종방향 변화에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다.

하천의 수질 개선을 위한 방법 중에서도 하천 구조체를 활용하는 방법은 기존의 하천 구조체가 가지는 고유의 기능을 훼손하지 않으면서 하천 수질을 개선할 수 있는 방법으로 점차로 그 영역이 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 방법의 대부분은 하천 구조체를 통과하는 흐름에 공기유입 기능을 강화하여 물의 용존산소량을 증가시킴으로써 수질의 개선을 유도한다. 따라서 하천 구조체를 통과하는 물에 공기유입을 향상시킬 수 있는 구조체 형상의 개발은 하천의 수질개선에 영향을 줄 수 있는 중요한 연구 주제이다. 본 연구에서는 하천 구조체 중에서도 댐의 여수로와 보에 사용되어지는 계단형 구조물의 흐름에 대해 공기연행 해석이 가능한 난류모형을 적용하여 수치모의를 이용한 검토를 수행하였다. 그 결과 연구에 사용된 모형이 계단형 흐름 구조체의 수리적 특성과 공기유입의 변화를 각각의 형태에 따라 적절히 모의하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Due to the global warming and air pollution, interest in renewable energies has increased in recent years. In particular, the crisis of the depletion of fossil energy resources in the near future has accelerated the renewable energy technologies. Among the renewable energy resources, oceans covering almost three-fourths of earth's surface have an enormous amount of energy. For this reason, various approaches have been made to harness the tremendous energy potential. In order to achieve two purposes: to improve harbor water quality and to use wave energy, this study proposed a sea water exchange structure applying an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave generation system that utilizes the air flow velocity induced by the vertical motion of water column in the air chamber as a driving force of turbine. In particular, the airflow velocity in the air chamber was estimated from the time variations of water surface profile computed by using 3D-NIT model based on the 3-dimensional irregular numerical wave tank. The relationship of the frequency spectrums between the computed airflow velocities and the incident waves was analyzed. This study also discussed the characteristics of frequency spectrums in the air chamber according to the presence of the structure, wave deformations by the structure, and the power of the water and air flows were also investigated. It is found that the phase difference exists in the time series data of water level fluctuations and air flow in the air chamber and the air flow power is superior to the fluid flow power.

An Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave generation system uses the air flow induced by the vertical motion of water column in the air chamber as a driving force of turbine. It is well known that OWC is one of the most efficient devices to harness wave power. This study estimated the air flow velocity from the time variation of the water level fluctuation in the air chamber under regular wave conditions using 3-dimensional numerical irregular wave tank (3D-NIT) model that can simulate the 3-dimensional irregular wave field. The applicability of the 3D-NIT model was validated by comparing numerically predicted air flow velocities with hydraulic experimental results. In addition, the characteristics of air flow frequency spectrum variation due to the incident frequency spectrum change, and the variations of frequency spectrum and wave reflection due to the existence of converter inside the air chamber were discussed. It is found that the phase difference exists in between the air flow velocity and the water level fluctuation inside the air chamber, and the peak frequency of the spectrum in water level fluctuation is amplified by the resonance in the air chamber.

Stability analysis based on the limit equilibrium method combined with the result of infiltration analysis is commonly used to evaluate the effect of rainfall infiltration on the slope stability. Soil is a three-phase mixture composed of solid particle, water and air. Therefore, a fully coupled mixture theories of stress-deformation behavior and the flow of water and air should be used to accurately analyze the process of rainfall infiltration through soil slope. The purpose of this study is to study the effect of interaction of air and water flow on the mechanical stability of slope. In this study, stability analyses based on the coupled hydro-mechanical model of three-phases were conducted for slope of weathered granite soil widespread in Korea. During the process of hydro-mechanical analysis strength reduction technique was applied to evaluate the effect of rainfall infiltration on the slope stability. The results showed an increase of air pressure during infiltration because rain water continuously displaced the air in the unsaturated zone. Such water-air interaction in the pore space of soil affects the stress-deformation behavior of slope. Therefore, the results from the three-phase model showed different behavior from the solid-water model that ignores the transport effect of air in the pores.

Oscillating Water Column (OWC) Wave Energy Converters (WEC) harness electricity through a Power-Take-Off (PTO) system from the induced-airflow by seawater oscillating inside a chamber. In general, an air chamber with a relatively small cross-sectional area is required compared to seawater chamber to obtain high-velocity air in the PTO system, and in order to simulate an accurate air flow rate in the air chamber, a three-dimensional study is required. In this study, the dynamic response of OWC-WEC that is equipped with the channel of seawater exchange for the case of irregular waves has been numerically studied. The open source CFD software, OLAFLOW for the simulation of wave dynamics to the openFOAM and FOAM-extend communities, was used to simulate the interaction between the device and irregular waves. Based on the numerical simulation results, we discussed the fluctuation characteristics of three dimensional air flow in the air-chamber, wave deformation around the structure and the seawater flow inside the channel of seawater exchange. The numerical results the maximum air flow velocity in the air-chamber increases as the Ursell value of the significant wave increases, and the velocity of airflow flowing out from the inside of air chamber to the outside is greater than the speed of flowing into the air chamber from the outside.

In this of study, effects of input air velocity(0.05~0.22 m/sec) and molten carbonate salt temperature ($870{\sim}970^{\circ}C$) on flow regime transition have been studied by adopting a drift-flux model of air holdup and a stochastic analysis of differential pressure fluctuations in an air-molten sodium carbonate salt two-phase system(molten salt oxidation process). Air holdup where the flow regime transition begins was determined by air holdup-drift flux plot. The air holdup value which the flow regime transition begins was increased with increasing molten carbonate salt temperature due to the decrease of viscosity and surface tension of molten carbonate salt. To characterize the flow regime transition more quantitatively, differential pressure fluctuation signals have been analyzed by adopting the stochastic method such as phase space portraits and Kolmogorov entropy, The Kolmogorov entropy decreased with an increasing of molten carbonate salt temperature but increased gradually with an increase in an air velocity, however, it exhibited different tendency with the flow regime and the air velocity value which flow regime transition begins was same to the results of drift-flux analysis.

바나듐 3, 4, 5가 이온은 공기 중에서 안정하지만, 바나듐 2가 이온은 쉽게 산화된다. 그러므로 바나듐 2가 이온이 담겨져 있는 음극 탱크가 공기와 접촉하지 않게 하는 것이 중요하다. 충전 중 음극 탱크에 공기가 침투되면, 바나듐 2가 이온은 3가 이온으로 산화되기 때문에 음극과 양극의 전해질에 불균형을 초래한다. 이러한 불균형은 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지 용량저하의 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 공기 중 2가 이온 산화에 의한 전해질의 불균형 현상을 쉽게 보여주기 위해, 공기노출과 차단조건에서 충방전 중에 발생한 음극과 양극의 바나듐 이온 상태변화량을 UV-Visible spectrophotometer를 이용해 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 공기노출 조건에서 음극의 충전 시, 충방전 cycle이 진행 될수록 바나듐 2가 이온의 양이 현격히 줄어들었지만, 공기차단 조건에서는 2가 이온의 양이 공기노출 조건보다 훨씬 더 적게 줄어들었다. 즉, 공기차단 조건에서는 바나듐 2가 이온이 3가로 산화되지 않아서 음극의 충전 후 바나듐 3가에서 2가로 전환되는 양이 공기노출 조건보다 더 많은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 영향으로 인해, 충방전 10th cycle을 진행해 본 결과, 공기차단 조건에서는 충방전 용량감소가 거의 없었지만 공기노출 조건에서는 현격한 충방전 용량 감소를 보였다.
