The Parameter Identification of 2-demensional estuarine model was carried out using new output ADI-FDM numerical semi-implicit schem transformed in boundary fitted(BF) - coordinate. The hydrodynamic equations which is coupled with the transport equations were used as basic equations in the model. Thompson's equations were used to transform governing equations into rectangular plane equations and his elliptic grid generation scheme was used to generate curvilinear grid system. in BF - coordinates. The parameters to be identified are friction coefficient and disperse coefficient embedded in the governing equations. The numerical output scheme is tidally averaged salinity model in BF - coordinates. The algorithm to optimize norm of error between observations and calculations is the influence coefficinet algorithm associated with least square criterion. The lumped model is conssidered in identification. This paper was concetrated on checking whether the new output scheme might be useful to identify parameters in estuarine salinity model or not. The proposed method was tested through experimental application with hypothetical simple model. The result of the test shows that the proposed method can be used for parameter identification in estuarine model.

The George Massey immersed tunnel passes the Fraser River near Vancouver, Western Canada. The tunnel was founded on sandy soils and its behavior during earthquake was analyzed by an effective stress constitutive model called UBCSAND. This model is able to calculate pore pressure rise and resulting tunnel movements due to cyclic loading. Centrifuge tests conducted at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) were used to verify the model performance. The centrifuge tests consisted of 2 models: Model 1 was designed for an original ground condition, Model 2 for a ground improvement by densification. In Model 1, large deformation of the tunnel was observed due to liquefaction of surrounding soil. Because of the densified zones around the tunnel the vertical and horizontal displacements of the tunnel in Model 2 was 50% less than Model 1. Measured excess pore pressures, accelerations, and displacements from centrifuge tests were in close agreement with the predictions of UBCSAND model. Therefore, the model can be used to predict seismic behavior of immersed tunnels on sandy soils and optimize liquefaction remediation methods.

In the present study, we proposed a new numerical wave tank model to analyze the vertical tension-leg circular floating bodies, using a 2-D Navier-Stokes solver. An IBM(Immersed Boundary Method) capable of handling interactions between waves and moving structures with complex geometry on a standard regular Cartesian grid system is coupled to the VOF(Volume of Fluid) method for tracking the free surface. Present numerical results for the motions of the floating body were compared with existing experimental data as well as numerical results based on FAVOR(Fractional Area Volume Obstacle Representation) algorithm. For detailed examinations of the present model, the additional hydraulic experiments for floating motions and free surface transformations were conducted. Further, the versatility of the proposed numerical model was verified via the numerical and physical experiments for the general rectangular floating bodies. Numerical results were compared with experiments and good agreement was archived.

Numerical simulation of dynamic soil-pile-structure interaction embedded in a dry sand was carried out. 3D model of the dynamic centrifuge model tests was formulated in a time domain to consider nonlinear behavior of soil using the finite difference method program, FLAC3D. As a modeling methodology, Mohr-Coulomb criteria was adopted as soil constitutive model. Soil nonlinearity was considered by adopting the hysteretic damping model, and an interface model which can simulate separation and slip between soil and pile was adopted. Simplified continuum modeling (Kim et al., 2012) was used as boundary condition to reduce analysis time. Calibration process for numerical modeling results and test results was performed through the parametric study. Verification process was then performed by comparing numerical modeling results with another test results. Based on the calibration and validation procedure, it is identified that proposed modeling method can properly simulate dynamic behavior of soil-pile system in dry condition.

Sustainable growth of hydroelectric power plants is expected in consideration of climate change and energy security. However, hydroelectric power plants always have a risk of water hammer damage, and safety assurance is very important. The water hammer phenomenon commonly occurs during operations such as rapid opening and closing of the valves and pump/turbine shutdown in pipe systems, which is more common in cases of emergency shutdown. In this study, a computational numerical model was developed using the MOC-FDM scheme to reflect the mechanism of water hammer occurrence. The proposed model was implemented in boundary conditions such as reservoir, pipeline, valve, and pump/turbine conditions and then applied to simulate hypothetical case studies. The analysis results of the model were verified using the analysis results at the main points of the pipe systems. The model produced reasonably good performance and was validated by comparison with the results of the SIMSEN package model. The model could be used as an efficient tool for the safety assessment of hydroelectric power plants based on accurate prediction of transient behavior in the operation of hydropower facilities.

최근 기후변화에 따른 강우량의 변화에 많은 관심과 연구가 집중되어지고 있다. 현 과학 기술에서 이러한 미래의 기후를 예측하기 위해서는 크게 두 가지의 방법을 이용할 수 있다. 그 첫 번째가 컴퓨터 모델을 이용하는 방법이고 두 번째가 과거 자료를 이용한 통계적 기법을 통해 매래의 상황을 예측하는 방법이다. 이들 가운데 현재 기상 분야에서 가장 널리 활용되는 기법은 컴퓨터 모델을 이용하는 방법으로 기상의 물리적 특성을 이용한 수치모형인 GCM(Global Climate Model 혹은 General Circulation Model)을 이용하는 것이다. 하지만, 이러한 수치모형을 이용한 기법을 이용하기 위해서는 많은 비용과 노력이 소요되며, 모의를 위해 설정되는 입력자료와 초기 조건들, 각종 가정 사항들, 모형의 구조, 등에 따라 상이한 결과를 나타내어 아직까지 직접적인 활용에는 많은 어려움이 따른다. 이와 달리 통계적 기법의 경우 비교적 용이하게 분석이 가능하며, 과거와 달리 최근에는 비교적 신뢰도가 높은 다양한 수문 및 기상 자료가 축적되어 있어 미래의 기후변화를 예측하는데 유용한 수단이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 통계적인 기법을 이용하여 강우량 자료를 중심으로 기후변화에 따른 변화 추이를 분석하였다. 적용된 기법은 먼저 국내 기상청 관측 지점들을 중심으로 강우의 경향성과 변동성을 분석하여 기후변화에 따라 국내 지점들의 강우량 변화 추이를 분석하여보았다. 또한 2000년을 기점으로 과거 자료와 최근의 자료를 이용한 2개의 자료군들에 대해 각각 빈도 분석을 실시하여 동일 지점들에 대한 설계강우량의 변화 추이도 분석하였다.

This paper presents a numerical method for implementing a nonlinear constitutive material model developed by Lade, into a finite element computer program. The techniques used are based on the displacement method for the solution of axial symmetric and plane strain nonlinear boundary value problems. Laboratory behaviour of Baekma river sand(#40-60) is used to illustrate the determination of the parameters and verification of the model. Computer procedure is developed to determine the material parameters for the nonlinear model from the raw laboratory test data. The model is verified by comparing its predictions with observed data used for the determination of the parameters and then with observed data not used for the determination. Three categories of tests are carried out in the back-prediction exercise; (1) A hydrostatic test including loading and unloading response, (2) Conventional triaxial drained compression tests at three different confining pressure and (3) A model strip footing test not including in the evaluation of material parameters. Pertinent observations are discussed based on the comparison of predicted response and experimental data.

후방계단(backward facting step) 주위의 난류 유동 특성을 수치 해석을 통해 파악하고자 하였다. 지배방정식은 2차 정도의 유한 차분 기법으로 이산화하였으며 비교차격자계를 사용하여 양해법으로 계산하였다. 난류 모형으로는 이층 모형(two-layer)을 사용하였고 압력 Poisson 방정식을 이용하여 압력과 속도를 연성 시켰다. Re=44,000인 경우에 대해 계산 결과로 부터 후방 계단 뒤의 속도 벡터, 유선, 압력 및 속도 분포, 재부착 길이(reattachment length)등의 실험치와 비교하였다. 본 계산에 사용한 수치 해석 기법은 박리등이 포함된 복잡한 난류 유동 현상을 잘 재현할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

To evaluate the usage of $\kappa-\imath$ turbulence closure for the analysis of thermal discharge behavior, a two-dimensional depth-integrated numerical model is developed. The developed model is applied to a steady flow in an open channel with simle geometry and the numerical results agree well with existing experimental data. The adequate simulation of recirculation, reattachment, and excess temperature rise at downstream of the outlet in the channel attributes to the correct calculation of turbulent eddy viscosity and diffusivity by $\kappa-\imath$ turbulence model. For an accurate prediction of thermal discharge behavior, the introduction of buoyancy production term, the modification of source/sink, and the correct input of turbulence constants of the $\kappa-\imath$ turbulence model are required.

하천 및 수자원의 효율적인 관리와 더불어 다양한 수공구조물의 운영 및 관리를 위해서 구조물 주변에서 발생하는 불연속 흐름 및 급변류 등의 현상과 구조물 운영을 반영한 수치해석 기법을 이용한 모델 개발의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천의 불연속 흐름을 모의하기 위한 1차원 흐름해석 모형(K-River)을 개발하였다. 본 모형은 천이류와 급변류를 수치적으로 안정하게 처리하기 위하여 지배방정식을 보존형 Saint-Venant 방정식으로 선정하고, FVM과 Forward Euler 방법을 이용하여 이산화를 수행하였다. 수치흐름률을 계산하기 위해서 불규칙 단면과 하상의 급경사 등에 신뢰도가 높은 기법으로 판단되는 근사 Riemann해법 중 하나인 HLL flux를 이용하였다. 개발된 K-river 모형의 검증을 위해서 해석해가 존재하는 타원형의 하상융기가 있는 하도에 적용하였으며, 국내에서 하천 설계 및 관리를 위해서 광범위하게 이용되고 있는 1차원 흐름해석 모형인 FDM기반의 HEC-RAS 모의결과와 비교 검토를 수행하였다. 그 결과, FDM기법에서는 모의되지 않는 일부 급변류 패턴을 개발 모형을 통해 모의가능하였으며, 전체적으로 K-River가 기존 모형 보다 해석해에 근사한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한, 배수문을 비롯하여 합류부, 분류부, 펌프장, 암거 등이 설치되어 운영되고 있는 아라뱃길에 적용하여 K-River의 적용성을 평가하였다. K-River를 이용하여 아라뱃길의 흐름분석을 수행한 경우가 HEC-RAS를 이용한 경우보다 수위와 유량의 유동을 시간에 따라 세밀하게 모의하였으며, 이는 배수효과에 의한 파의 전달이 FDM기법 대비 정확히 모의되기 때문으로 판단된다. 추후 연구에서는 현재보다 시간간격을 상세화 하여 수집된 관측수위를 통해 추가적인 검증을 수행하고, 다양한 특성을 가진 타 하천 등에 적용하여 모형의 적용성을 확대하고자 한다.
