In this study, experiments for measurements of entrainment rate of fluid mud were carried out using annular flume domestically for the first time. Six entrainment tests using kaolinite sediments were conducted with different initial concentrations of fluid mud. It is shown that sediment settling counteracts the otherwise buoyancy dependent entrainment of fluid mud, and that the settling effect leads to a measurably decreased entrainment rate at higher Richardson numbers in comparison with entrainment of salt water, due to additional dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy in the interfacial layer. Through the comparison with previous other studies, the overall performance of the annular flume, the experimental procedure and the test results in simulating the entrainment of fluid mud are shown to be good enough to verify.

본 연구에서는 하구 유입 하천에서 발생하는 염수쐐기의 형상 및 거동특성을 구명하기 위하여 정상상태 염수쐐기 실험을 수행하였다. 길이에 비해 상대적으로 폭이 좁은 개수로의 상류부분에는 담수를 지속적으로 공급할 수 있는 담수공급장치를 설치하였고, 정상상태의 염수쐐기를 발생시키기 위하여 염수수조 측면에 지속적으로 염수를 공급할 수 있는 염수공급수조를 설치하였다. 실험조건은 담수 방류량과 이층류의 밀도차의 영향을 고려한 밀도프루드수(densimetric Froude number)를 기준으로 선정하였다. 실험결과 각 케이스별 염수쐐기의 형상은 중앙부에서 약간의 산포된 양상을 제외하고는 거의 선형을 이루는 것으로 관찰되었다. 경계층의 형상과 두께는 이층류의 농도장을 측정하고 밀도변동성분을 고려한 표준편차를 통하여 산정하였다. 그리고 염수쐐기의 선단부에 해당하는 리차드슨수와 경계층 두께와의 비교 등을 통해서 경계층의 양상을 파악하였다.

In this paper, we consider the encoding scheme of Low Density Parity Check codes. In particular, using the Jacket Pattern and circulant permutation matrices, we propose the simple encoding scheme of Richardson's lower triangular matrix. These encoding scheme can be extended to a flexible code rate. Based on the simple matrix process, also we can design low complex and simple encoders for the flexible code rates.

Unsteady thermally stratified flow caused by two-dimensional surface discharge of warm water into a oblong channel was investigated. Experimental study was focused on the rapidly developing thermal diffusion at small Richardson number. The basic objective were to study the interfacial mixing between a flowing layer of warm water and an underlying body of cold water and to accumulate experimental data to test computational turbulence models. Mean velocity field measurements were carried out by using NMR-CT (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-Computerized Tomography). It detects quantitative flow image of any desired section in any direction of flow in short time. Results show that at small Richardson number warm layer rapidly penetrates into the cold layer because of strong turbulent mixing and instability between the two layers. It is found that the transfer ofheat across the interface is more vigorous than that of momentum. It is also proved that the NMR-CT technique is a very valuable tool to measure unsteady three dimensional flow field.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physical characteristics of marine environment, and to predict the probability of the occurrence of hypoxia in the Dangdong bay. We predicted hypoxia using the logistic regression model analysis by observing the water temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen concentration. The analysis showed that the Brunt-Väisälä frequency which was shallow than the deep bay entrance, was higher inside the bay due to a lesser amount of fresh water inflow from the inner side of the bay, and density stratification was formed. The Richardson number, and Brunt-Väisälä frequency were very high occasionally from June to September; however, after September 2, the stratification had a tendency to decrease. Analysis of dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and salinity data observed in Dangdong bay showed that the dissolved oxygen concentration in the bottom layer was mostly affected by the temperature difference (dt) between the surface layer and bottom layer. Meanwhile, when the depth difference (dz) was set as a fixed variable, the probability of the occurrence of hypoxia varied with respect to the difference in water temperature. The depth difference (dz) was calculated to be 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, and the difference in water temperature (dt) was found to be greater than 70 % at 8℃, 7℃, 5℃, and 3℃. This indicated that the larger the difference in depth in the bay, the smaller is the temperature difference required for the generation of hypoxia. In particular, the place in the bay, where the water depth dif erence was approximately 20 m, was found to generate hypoxia.

It has been customary to exclude top 10-20% of velocity profiles in the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurement due to side lobe effects at the boundary. To better understand the mixing in the Yeongsan estuary, the freshwater advection speed (FAS) was recovered from highly contaminated ADCP data near the surface. The velocity profiles were measured by using ADCP at two stations in the Yeongsan estuary during August 2011: one was located in front of the Yeongsan estuarine dam and the other was deployed near Goha Island. The FAS was recovered from the ADCP data set by applying rigorous post-processing methods and compared with the sediment advection speed (SAS). The SAS was determined by the peak time difference of suspended sediment concentration between two stations in the channel, divided by the distance of two stations. The FAS and the SAS showed very similar value when the freshwater discharge was greater than $2.0{\times}10^7$ ton and the SAS was a bit greater when the freshwater discharge was smaller. Since the FAS was on average about 0.8 m/s greater than the velocity at 0.8 of water depth from the bottom, the net discharge, estimated with recovered FAS and integrated over water depth and tidal cycle, was directed seaward during the high discharge contrary to the onshore direction of the net discharge estimated with 0.8 of water depth from the bottom. Moreover, the velocity shear and Richardson number changed when the FAS was used. Thus, the importance of the true FAS is appreciated in the investigation of the surface layer stability. If currents, temperature and salinity were observed for longer time in the future, it could be possible to more accurately understand the formation and decay of stratification as well as the suspended sediment transport processes.
