The objective of this study is to evaluate the applicability of Land Surface Model (LSM) for estimating the runoff on East Asia. Global geographical and weather data are used as input for the model and for the model verification, the simulated runoff results are compared with observed data from 34 global observation stations provided by Global Runoff Data Center (GRDC). K$\ddot{o}$ppen's climate zone is used to calculate the model parameter for ungaged basins. As a result, the simulated runoff shows good performance comparing with observed data in 17 basins assumed as ungaged basins. The Hydrologic components on East Asia area are estimated from the model and the continental water balance components are seasonally similar to each country. Also, it reveals that runoffs from southern China, Japan and Taiwan are much higher than those from mongolian and northern China.

In this study, capability of an air slot in a siphon spillway for controlling outflow discharge is investigated through hydraulic experiments. Arc and rectangular shapes of air slot are considered and the open area of air slot can be varied. Complex air-regulated flow occurs inside of the siphon spillway when the air slot is installed on it. The same discharge is measured at the same water level inside the reservoir when the water level rises or falls. Nondimensional discharge through the siphon spillway decreases as nondimensional open area of the air slot increases when head differences and water levels of reservoir are constant. The hydraulic experiments show that the control of outflow discharge of siphon spillway is possible by controlling the open area of the air slot.

Water-jet trajectory visualization and velocity deficits from a high pressurized steam-generator nozzles were experimentally observed. In order to find an optimal nozzle configuration. several parameters affecting plugging and erosion onto the steam generator tube were quantitatively analyzed. For the experiments, a high-pressurized pump (pressure in use: 200 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 15 HP, 11 kW, output flow Q : 301/min) was utilized. Visualization, velocity distribution, and spray growth rate with different nozzle configurations have been mainly focused using a 2-D PDPA system. The results indicated that trajectories along the centerline regardless of their configurations has its potential core region. However, the phenomena from the peripheral part need to be meticulously considered. Accordingly, it is evident that quantitative velocity deficits at the outer region are outstanding due to the aerodynamical drag and entrainment.

Peak expiratory flow rate(PEF) is one of the most important diagnostic parameters in spirometry. PEF occurs in a very short duration during the forced expiratory maneuver, which could lead to measurement error due to non-ideal dynamic characteristic of the transducer. In such case the initial slope of the flow rate signal determines the accuracy of the measured PEF. The present study considered this initial slope as a parameter to compensate PEF. The 26 standard flow rate signals recommended by the American Thoracic Society(ATS) were flown through the air flow transducer followed by simultaneous measurements of PEF and maximum transducer output$(N_{PEF})$. $N_{PEF}$-PEF satisfied a quadratic equation in general, however, two signals (ATS #2 and #26) having large initial slopes deviated from the fitting equation to a significant degree. The relative error was found to be in a linear relationship with the initial slope, thus, $N_{PEF}$ was appropriately compensated to provide accurate PEF with mean relative error less than only 1%. The 99% confidence interval of the mean relative error was less than a half of the error limit of 5% recommended by ATS. Therefore, PEF can be very accurately determined by compensating the transducer output based on the initial slope, which should be a useful technique for air flow transducer calibration.

In this study, measurement uncertainty of instrumental neutron activation analysis was evaluated for ambient As concentration in PM2.5. Expanded uncertainties of the measurements were calculated by applying both ISO-GUM approximation and Monte Carlo Simulation(MCS). The estimate of As concentration on a specific day by the Monte Carlo Simulation differed from that of ISO-GUM approximation by less than 4%. Relative expanded uncertainties of As concentrations from a total number of 60 PM2.5 samples were also estimated to be more or less than 10% with 95% confidence level using the Monte Carlo Simulation. Sensitivity test of the measurement uncertainties showed that $\gamma$-ray counting error(62.3%), efficiency(18.5%), air volume(12.3%), neutron flux(2.3%), and absolute gamma-intensity(1.8%) are major factors of uncertainty variations.

최근 기상이변으로 인한 돌발홍수의 빈번한 발생으로 인해 신속하고 정량적인 강우예측의 필요성이 대두되고 있으며 강우의 거동을 실시간으로 관측하여 예측이 가능한 강우레이더의 활용성이 높아지고 있다. 또한, 1Km 해상도의 격자형으로 제공되는 강우레이더를 효과적으로 활용하기 위해 격자단위의 분석이 가능한 분포형 수문모형의 활용이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구를 위한 선행연구로 배영혜 등(2007)은 레이더 강우와 물리적 기반의 분포형 모형인 $Vflo^{TM}$을 이용하여 임진강 유역에 대한 강우-유출 모의를 실시하였으며 분포형 모형의 입력 자료로 활용된 임진강 유역의 공간자료는 임진강 유역조사 성과 및 GIS/RS를 자료를 이용하여 구축하였다. 배영혜 등(2007)이 모의한 임진강 유역의 홍수 유출 모의 결과 모의치와 관측치 사이의 첨두값은 일치하나 지체 시간의 차이가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 오차의 원인을 파악하기 위해 북한의 하천과 연결되지 않은 임진강 영중지점을 대상으로 홍수 유출 모의를 실시한 결과 지상 강우계를 이용한 레이더 강우의 보정 유무보다는 GIS 수문매개변수의 불확실성이 오차에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 토양분류 체계가 상이하고 현시성이 결여된 토양도의 활용이 수리전도도를 비롯한 토양 매개변수에 불확실성을 초래하여 첨두 유량과 지체시간 등에 영향을 준 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구에서는 유역면적의 약 2/3가 미계측 지역인 임진강 유역의 지리적 특성과 현지조사가 필수적인 토양도의 재구축이 현실적으로 어렵다는 점을 고려하여 상대적으로 단순한 가 분포형(Quasi-distributed) 수문 모형인 ModClark 모형을 이용하여 2006년 7월 사상에 대하여 홍수 유출 모의를 실시하였으며 그 결과를 선행연구를 통해 모의한 $Vflo^{TM}$ 모형의 유출 모의 결과와 비교하였다.

본 연구에서는 SWAT 모형의 국내 적용을 위해 농촌용수지구의 수문관측자료를 이용하여 입력자료를 구축하고, 기존 유출량 산정모형과 산정결과를 비교하였다. 모형을 적용을 위한 대상지구는 경기 평택, 용인에 위치한 이동저수지를 포함하는 용남용수구역을 선정하였다. 본 대상지구는 2001년 이후 농업지역의 수문관측을 위해 계측망을 설치하고 운영하고 있는 지구로써 저수위, 하천수위, 강수량 등의 관측을 실시하고 있다. 모형의 입력자료는 기존의 GIS 자료와 대상지구에서 관측된 강수량 자료를 이용하여 구축하였고 증발산량 산정에 필요한 다른 기상자료는 인근 수원측후소의 자료를 수집하고 있다. 모형을 통해 산정된 유출량은 덕성교, 재인교, 묵방교, 미산교의 네 지점에서 측정한 유량자료를 이용하여 비교하였다. 농업지역에서 저수지 운영 및 공급량 산정을 위해 많이 쓰이는 HOMWRS 모형과 비교한 결과 평균유출량이 덕성교 지점의 경우 1,651천$m^3$, 묵방교는 619천$m^3$이며 HOMWRS의 경우 덕성교 3,155천$m^3$, 묵방교 885천$m^3$로 각각 산정되었고, 이 지점의 실측 유출량은 덕성교 3,500천$m^3$, 묵방교 1,610천$m^3$로 실측값의 47%, 38%로 각각 산정되어 총유출량은 큰 차이를 보이고 있다. SWAT 모형으로 일별 장기유출량을 추정한 결과 저수지가 설치되어 있지 않은 미산교, 묵방교에서의 일별, 월별 장기유출량은 실측치와 매우 가까운 값을 보였다. 그러나 상류지점에 저수지가 설치되어 있어 저수지의 영향을 받고 있는 덕성교와 재인교에서의 장기유출량은 관측값과 유사한 경향을 보이고 있으나 실측값과는 차이를 보이고 있었다. 이는 저수지 및 관개수량의 환원수량 등을 고려하지 않은 채 유출량을 산정한 결과로 SWAT 모형의 관개지구에 적용을 위해서는 저수지의 영향, 환원수량 및 관개용수 공급에 대한 고려가 필요하다.

In this study, flood control effects for infiltration trench which is one of runoff reduction facilities were analyzed based on hydraulic experiments. Hydraulic experiments were conducted using 25 cm diameter circular pipe, and water depths for boundary conditions are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 cm. Infiltration volume, runoff volume, runoff initiation time, final infiltration capacity and final infiltration capacity reached time etc. were measured from infiltration trench hydraulic experiment. We assumed that drainage area of each infiltration trench is $130\;m^2$ ($6.5\;m{\times}20\;m$) and calculated CN with area based on those experimental characteristics. In AMC-I condition, the calculated CN with five water depths is 84 for 2% pipe slope, 83 for 5% pipe slope. In AMC-III condition, the calculated CN is 84 for 2% and 5% pipe slope.

Due to the difficulties for measuring flood discharge in the dangerous field conditions, conventional instruments with relatively low accuracy such as float still have been widely utilized for the field survey. It is also limited to use simple stage-discharge relationship for assessment of the flood discharge, since the stage-discharge relationship during the flood becomes complicated loop shape. In recent years, various non-intrusive velocity measurement techniques such as electromagnetic wave or surface images have been developed, which is quite adequate for the flood discharge measurements. However, these new non-intrusive techniques have little tested in the flood condition, though they promised efficiency and accuracy. Throughout the field observations, we evaluated the validity of these techniques by comparing discharge and velocity measurements acquired concurrently during the flood in a mountain stream. As a result, the flood discharge measurements between electromagnetic wave and surface image processing techniques showed high positive relationship, but velocities did not matched very well particularly for the high current speed more 3 m/s. Therefore, it should be noted here that special cares are required when the velocity measurements by those two different techniques are used, for instance, for the validation of the numerical models. In addition, authors assured that, for the more accurate flood discharge measurements, velocity observation as well as stage height is strongly necessary owing that the unsteady flow occurs during the flood.
