A test facility was developed where an inducer for a liquid rocket engine turbopump can be tested using liquid nitrogen as a working fluid. At the facility, a hydrodynamic performance test and a cavitation performance test for an oxidizer turbopump were carried out. Head-flow relation at liquid nitrogen test was similar to the case at water test. However, cavitation performance at the liquid nitrogen was superior to the case at water test, which results from the thermodynamic effect of cavitation.

The aim of this paper was to investigate the fluid dynamic behavior of the automotive closed type water pump with balance hole in order to evaluate and justify its overall hydraulic performance and, in particular to analyze the effects of the balance hole on the reduction of hydraulic flow force of it. The analysis has been peformed by applying the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, Fluent, to the solution of the 3-D turbulent flow fields of automotive closed type water pump. The reliability of the employed analysis was demonstrated by the comparison between numerical result and experimental data. Although, hydraulic head of the closed type water pump with 3mm diameter of balance hole decreased by 1.1%, axial flow force was effectively reduced by 13.3%, comparison of it with no hole at design point.

Recent trend in pursuit of high performance and effectiveness for automotive cooling system has changed the application of material for impeller of automotive water pump from metal to high ability engineering resin, which can achieve optimization of design of impeller geometry and realize lightweight high efficiency water pump. Closed type water pump improves hydraulic loss of fluid through the clearance between volute casing and impeller compared with that of the existing open type water pump(Although closed type is heavier than open type for the same size and same material, adoption of plastics can solve the problem.). In the present study, the characteristics of hydraulic performance of closed type water pump were investigated with respect to the angle between shroud and hub of impeller and the shape of discharge port of volute casing. Performance tests were carried out for 4 cases, that is, for 2 impellers and 2 casings. The modification of shape of only discharge port can enhance the hydraulic performance by 10 percent and the pump efficiency by 4-6 percent.

Though rocket nozzle flow is very important to the rocket performance, the direct measurement is very difficult because of high temperature and high pressure gas flow. Then the experiment utilizing the hydraulic analogy has been developed for such a problem. Supersonic flows through an axisymmetric De Laval nozzle of solid rocket motor was simulated in a 2-D sluice-type water-table designed and manufactured utilizing hydraulic analogy. Methods to minimize or account for non-analogous effects in the hydraulic system must be reviewed for the quantitative application of the hydraulic analogy. In this application the water table is inclined slightly, so that gravity acceleration has a small component in the direction of motion, thus compensating for the effect of friction. Flow visualization leads to better understanding of the analogous system. Within the experimental errors, it is shown that the hydraulic analogy can be used as an effective tool for the study of two dimensional isentropic flows of gases in many fields.

Hydraulic performance and cavitation characteristics of fuel pump in turbo-pump were studied experimentally. The fuel pump has a centrifugal impeller with a separate inducer. In this paper, flow characteristics of inducer and impeller was experimentally investigated separately and together. Especially static pressure distribution of Inducer was examined in non-cavitation and cavitation conditions.

Recently, water resources and energy policies such as integrated water management and carbon neutrality are changing rapidly. There is an opinion that the value of hydropower reservoirs related to these policies should be re-evaluated. In the past, they have contributed to flood control in addition to electricity generation, such as operating at a limited water level during the flood season, but loss of power generation is inevitable with this operation. Therefore, this study introduced the concept of resilience to the hydropower generation system to minimize the power loss. A framework for evaluating the power generation performance of them was presented by defining the maximization of electricity sales as performance. Based on the current procedure of multiple operation plan, a scenario was established and simulation was performed using HEC-5. As a result of applying to the framework, it was confirmed that the power generation performance according to each scenario was evaluated as an important factor. And it was confirmed that the performance of flood control and water use could also be evaluated.

It is very difficult to accurately calculate efficiency of each accessory device constituting the pump system and pump efficiency by the Conventional efficiency measurement method only. Therefore, this study introduced the lastest Thermodynamic pump efficiency measurement method in the district heating pump system for the first time in Korea. As a result, data uncertainty was high by the Conventional method, but the pump and Hydraulic Coupling efficiency values applied the Thermodynamic and Conventional method parallel measurement data were able to derive meaningful results that verified the reliability and adequancy of the pump performance measurement method by performing complementary roles. In additon, as a result of applying the Thermodynamic method to the distirct heating pump system, despite the high temperature environment of up to 120 ℃, it was possible to verify the reliability of the Thermodynamic method, such as high stable data mesurement, and durability of the measurement equipment.

발전용댐의 댐 유입량 예측 및 운영을 위해서 (주)한국수력원자력에서는 수자원통합 운영시스템(Water resources Integrated System, WIOS)을 운영 중에 있다. 해당 시스템에서는 댐 유입량을 예측하기 위해서 기상청 수치예보모델 중 하나인 국지예보모델(Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System, LDAPS)의 예측강우를 수문모형의 입력자료로 활용하고 있으며, 레이더 기반의 초단시간 강우예측 기법을 자체 개발 중에 있다. 기상청 국지예보모델은 강우의 on/off에 대한 정확도는 90%를 상회할 만큼 높으나 정량적인 강우량의 정확도는 매우 낮고, 레이더 기반의 초단시간 예측 강우는 선행 1~2시간 예측에서는 정량적 정확도는 높으나, 그 이후 예측성능이 급격히 떨어지는 경향을 보인다. 따라서 댐 유입량의 정량적 예측 정확도를 확보하기 위해 초단시간 모델과 국지예보모델의 강우예측 결과를 병합(blending)하는 기법을 적용하여 초기 6시간 동안의 예측 성능을 향상시켜야 한다. 본 연구에서는 선행시간 0~6시간에 대해서 병합하는 기법들을 적용하고 평가하고자 한다. 기본적으로 병합은 초단시간 예측강우와 수치예보자료 간 가중치를 통해 수행된다. 일반적으로 초기 1시간 선행시간에서 레이더 기반 예측강우는 완벽한 예측자료(외삽 관측자료의 가중치는 1.0)로 가정하며, tanh 함수를 이용하여 선행시간의 증가에 따라 가중치를 감소시키면서, 6시간 선행시간에서는 수치예보 예측강우가 완벽한 예측자료라고 가정한다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 병합 방법 외에 병합된 예측강우에 과거 관측강우와 예측강우의 평균편이를 적용하여 보정하는 방법, 사례별 변동성이 큰 병합된 예측강우 특성을 고려하여 병합 가중치를 신뢰도에 따라 가변시키는 방법을 적용하여 평가한다. 이를 통해 댐 유입량 예측에 최적이 되는 병합기법을 선정하고자 한다.

The variable demand on the energy market, as well as the limited energy storage capabilities, requires a great flexibility in operating hydraulic turbines. But, present in Korea, the absence of testing laboratories and technical criteria for the performance test of small hydropower degrades the efficiency of the domestic hydropower machines, A performance guarantees for hydro turbines shall be contain, as a minimum, guarantees covering power, discharge and specific hydraulic energy, efficiency, maximum momentary overspeed and maximum momentary pressure and/or maximum steady-state runaway speed, as well as guarantees related to cavitation. Performance test are conducted by the test standard. Test codes based on extensive research data are written under the leadership of an IEC. Performance evaluation is carry out several test(performance test, cavitation test and runaway test). The paper presents the international turbine test laboratory and performance test standard.
