The accuracy of flood inundation maps is determined by the uncertainty propagated from all variables involved in the overall process including input data, model parameters and modeling approaches. This study investigated the uncertainty arising from key variables (flow condition and Manning's n) among model variables in flood inundation mapping for the Missouri River near Boonville, Missouri, USA. Methodology of this study involves the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) to quantify the uncertainty bounds of flood inundation area. Uncertainty bounds in the GLUE procedure are evaluated by selecting two likelihood functions, which is two statistic (inverse of sum of squared error (1/SAE) and inverse of sum of absolute error (1/SSE)) based on an observed water surface elevation and simulated water surface elevations. The results from GLUE show that likelihood measure based on 1/SSE is more sensitive on observation than likelihood measure based on 1/SAE, and that the uncertainty propagated from two variables produces an uncertainty bound of about 2% in the inundation area compared to observed inundation. Based on the results obtained form this study, it is expected that this study will be useful to identify the characteristic of flood.

The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the impact of increase in impervious areas due to urbanization on the pollutant discharge using the HSPF model at Musim watershed. Model calibration and validation were performed based on the observed data 2015 and 2014, all simulation items have been successfully simulated such as flow, BOD, and TP. The land cover map used in the model reflected on the land use status of the Musim watershed in 2015 and the application of the development areas and locations. As a result of simulation, during rainfall daily pollutant load with the increased impervious land increased more than that before the development. However, the pollutant load decreased during the non-rainfall time. Annual pollutant load in rainfall time was significantly higher than that in non-rainfall time, BOD and TP increased. The simulation of non-point source pollutant load was applied under two assumptions, such as the increased area of impervious land and the non-change number of point source load before and after development. As the result of a simulation, the non-point source pollutant load after development was bigger than those before development. It was necessary to take measures to control non-point source pollution at the consideration status of development.

유기농업에서 유기자원을 이용하여 적정량의 양분을 공급하기 위해서는 먼저 유기자원의 무기화특성을 고려하여야 한다. 토성, 기온, 재배형태 등 다양한 요인을 고려하면서 무기화모델을 이용하여 유기농업에서 많이 사용되고 있는 유기질비료와 작물잔사 등을 대상으로 잠재 무기화가능 질소량(PMN, Potentially mineralizabe nitrogen)을 추정하였다. 실험은 실내에서 항온 배양하여 유기자원별 질소 무기화 양상을 분석함으로서 대상 유기자원의 PMN 및 무기화 속도를 도출하였다. 실험재료는 팜박, 피마자박, 팽화왕겨, 토마토, 수박, 감자, 마늘 등 7종을 대상으로 $20^{\circ}C,\;25^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 하였으며, 최대수분보유량의 60% 수준으로 하여 사양토 및 식양토 조건에서 실험하였다. 유기자원은 토양 100g에 질소 30kg/10a 해당량을 시용하여 112일까지 항온하였다. 토성별 무기화량은 식양토 보다 사양토에서 다소 높은 경향을 보였다. 또한 항온온도가 높을수록 무기화량이 증가하였다. 유기자원별로는 피마자박에서 높았고, 팽화왕겨는 낮은 경향이었다. 유기자원이 처리된 것에서 토양 자체의 무기화량을 뺀 순무기화량은 피마자박, 토마토잔사, 감자잔사가 항온초기부터 무기화가 진행되었으며, 수박잔사, 마늘잔사는 항온 초기에 음의 값을 가지는 유기화 과정을 거친 후 항온 60일에서 80일 사이에서 무기화가 진행되었고 팽화왕겨의 경우 항온 11일까지 유기화가 계속되었다. PMN 및 무기화속도를 추정하기 위하여 반응속도식을 이용하였으며, 모델의 적합도를 높이기 위하여 이중지수모형을 이용하여 매개변수를 결정하고 무기화경향을 예측한 결과 PMN은 피마자박>마늘잔사=팜박>수박잔사=토마토잔사>감자잔사의 순이었다. 또한 유기자원의 무기화량과 C/N율과는 부의 상관관계($r^2$=0.8653)를 나타내었다. 요소의 PMN(135.6mg/kg)에 대한 유기자원별 PMN의 상대적 비율은 피마자박이 100%, 팜박과 마늘잔사가 81%, 토마토, 수박 및 감자잔사가 28~65% 수준이었다.

In this study, we simulated an amine regeneration process with heat-stable salts removal unit. We derived the optimal operating conditions considering the flow rate of waste, the removal rate of heat-stable salts, and the loss rate of MDEA (methyl diethanolamine). In the amine regeneration process that absorbs and removes acid gas, heat-stable salt impairs the absorption efficiency of process equipment and amine solution. An ion exchange resin method is to remove heat-stable salts through neutralization by using a strong base solution such as NaOH. The acid gas removal process was established using the Radfrac model, and the equilibrium constant of the reaction was calculated using Gibbs free energy. The removed amine solution is separated and flows to the heat-stable salts remover which is modeled by using the Rstoic model with neutralization reaction. Actual operation data and simulation results were compared and verified, and also a case study was conducted by adjusting the inflow mass of removal unit followed by suggesting optimal conditions.

담수는 인간의 생존에 필수적인 요소이다. 우리는 매일 일정량의 물을 섭취하고 있으며, 일상에서 직접, 간접적으로 물과 관련되지 않고서는 생활할 수 없다. 지구 표면의 약 70%가 물로서 덮여 있다고는 하지만 인간의 생활에 직접적인 이용가치가 있는 담수(지표수)는 전체 물의 용적의 2%에 지나지 않는다. 한국의 연평균 강수량은 1,274mm로서 세계 연평균 강수량인 970mm보다 많은 편이나 인구 1인당 연간 강수량은 약 3,000m3으로서 세계 평균인 34,000m3의 11분의 1에 지나지 않는다. 수자원총량중 지하침투와 증발에 의해 손실되는 양을 제외한 하천유출량은 전체의 55%인 697억m3으로서 이것이 곧 가용수자원량이다. 그러나 하절기 강우집중도가 높은 우리나라 실정에서는 가용수자뭔량중 수자원총량의 37%가 홍수시 유출되고 실제 이용량은 수자원총량의 18%인 230억m3에 불과하여 인구증가와 함께 수자원의 가치가 더욱 증대하고 있는 실정이다. 더우기 지하수 이용량은 19억m3에 불과함에 따라 우리나라는 실제 이응수자 원량의 90% 이상을 지표수에 의존하고 있으며, 그 중 약 40%가 호소수로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 수자원 이용효율의 취약성으로 인해 제한된 수자원 용량과 생활 및 농공용수의 과수요에 따른 불균형으로 근래 많은 하천이 갈수기나 평수기시 친천화되어 가고 있어 수중생태계에 큰 위협을 주고 있다. 또한 이에 더하여 산업발달과 함께 수질오염원은 양적으로는 물론 질적으로도 증가일로에 있어 기존의 유기 및 중금속 오염물질을 포함해 수많은 신생 유기화합물질이 수계에 유출되고 있으며, 이에 더해 질소 및 인으로 대표되는 영양물질의 유입과다로 국내 대다수의 호수가 부영양화의 새로운 위협에 직 면해 있다. 우리나라에는 적은 유입유량에 큰 저수용량 및 긴 체류시간으로 대표되는 대규모 자연호는 없으며, 대부분이 매단위 강을 막아 형성된 체류시간 1년 이하의 인공호로서 그 중 안동호, 충주호, 대청호 등은 비교적 체류시간이 긴 호소형 인공호로, 팔당호나 기타 대부분의 호수는 체류시간이 짧은 하천형 인공호로 대별된다(Table 1). 이처럼 국내 호소는 국외의 자연 호와는 다른 구조적 특성을 가짐에 따라 부영양화 특성 역시 매우 상이하고, 호소형 인공호와 하천형 인공호간의 차이 역시 현저하여 일률적인 관리대책을 설정하기가 어려운 실정에 있다. 또한 각 호수의 유역특성이 상이함에 따라 호수별로 유역 오염원의 오염부하율이 현저히 달라(Table 2) 호수에 따른 특성적인 유역관리(Lake-specific management)가 요구되고 있다 정상상태(Steady state)가 아닌 국내 호소에 대해 국외 자연호의 인단순모델 (Simple phosphorus budget model)을 그대로 적용하는 것에 다소 무리한 점이 따르나, 평균적인 개념으로 OECD의 유역부하량 및 호소특성에 따른 부영양화 판정모델을 적용한다면, 국내 주요 호수는 모두 부영양 수준에 있다. 또 각 호수별로 부영양화 제어를 위해 요구되는 인의 삭감부하량은 상당량이 되어 현실적으로 관리가 이미 어려운 실정에 와 있다. 호수의 부영양화는 조류 발생으로 이어지며, 그에 따른 폐해는 각종 형태로 나타나는데 대표적으로 이취미 발생이나 유해조류에 의한 독성물질의 배출, 정수처리 과정의 THM 발생등이 주로 문제가 되고 있다. 따라서 국내 호수의 구조적 특성별 부영양화 실태를 파악하고 그에 따른 영향 및 관리방안에 관한 종합적 고찰이 차후 수질관리를 위해 요구되고 있으며, 특히 납조류로 대표되는 유해조류의 독성영향에 관한 연구는 시급한 실정에 있다.

This study is to evaluate the future climate change impact on hydrological components in the Seolmacheon ($8.54km^2$) mixed forest catchment located in the northwest of South Korea using SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model. To reduce the uncertainty, the model was spatially calibrated (2007~2008) and validated (2009~2010) using daily observed streamflow, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture data. Hydrological predicted values matched well with the observed values by showing coefficient of determination ($R^2$) from 0.74 to 0.91 for streamflow, from 0.56 to 0.71 for evapotranspiration, and from 0.45 to 0.71 for soil moisture. The HadGEM3-RA future weather data of Representative Concentration pathway (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) AR5 (Assessment Report 5) were adopted for future assessment after bias correction of ground measured data. The future changes in annual temperature and precipitation showed an upward tendency from $0.9^{\circ}C$ to $4.2^{\circ}C$ and from 7.9% to 20.4% respectively. The future streamflow showed an increase from 0.6% to 15.7%, but runoff ratio showed a decrease from 3.8% to 5.4%. The future predicted evapotranspiration about precipitation increased from 4.1% to 6.8%, and the future soil moisture decreased from 4.3% to 5.5%.

The optimum cooking conditions for large scale continuous gas cooker were studied with three varieties of rice. Optimum soaking time for the cooker was estimated to be 30 min at cooking temperature above $20{\circ}C$, while 60 min at cooking temperature below $10{\circ}C$. The ratio of water-to-milled rice giving the best eating quality was founded to be $1.41{\sim}1.48$, and corresponding moisture content of cooked rice ranged from 60 to 62% for different rice varieties. The optimum ratio of water to milled rice. (Chucheong) decreased from 1.50 to 1.37 with increase in the amount of milled rice from 4.0 to 6.5 kg in a cooking vessel. However, actual water uptake by rice (g water absorbed per g rice) on cooking was nearly constant value of 1.13, which means that evaporated water during cooking increases with decreasing the amount of rice in a cooking vessel.

Numerical simulation of blood flow has been conducted based on real vessel geometries generated front DICOM medical images of abdominal and iliac bifurcated arteries of a healthy man. A program was developed to read cross sectional images of the three dimensional arteries and smoothly extract boundary coordinates of vessels. Commercial programs were employed for mesh generation and flow simulation. Pressures, velocities, and flow distributions were found to lie within normal physiological ranges. Peak velocity measured in the iliac artery by ultrasound was 20% smaller than that obtained by simulation. The trend of velocity variation in a cardiac cycle was fairly similar between the simulation and the ultrasonic measurements. Simulation based on real vessel geometry of individual patient provides information on pressure, velocity, and its distribution in the diseased arteries or arteries to be surgically treated. The results of simulation may help surgeons to better understand hemodynamic status and surgical need of the patient by revealing variation of the hemodynamic parameters. Futhermore, they may serve as basic data for surgical treatment of arteries. This research is expected to develop to a program in the future that early diagnose atherosclerosis by showing distribution of a hemodynamic index closely related to atherosclerosis in arteries.

This study aims to figure out water quality impacts due to sudden disturbances of sediments during dike construction in land reclamation for the northern part of the Siwhaho Lake where heavily deteriorated settlements from upstream loadings are outstanding. We exploit a 3-D water quality model CE-QUAL-ICM combined with a hydrodynamic model TIDE3D. Simulations are done accounting water-sediment interaction in a 4-$\sigma$ layers. Long-term simulation for 1-year shows that bottom layers around the disturbance location are only affected and marks very high concentration. Complete vertical mixing appears at least 5km apart to downward due to complex effects of geometry, bathymetry and river inflows. It should be addressed that existing condition of the Siwhaho Lake stands for high concentration of COD and TP in winter and spring due to relatively high incoming loadings, however the effect of sediment disturbances yields reverse phenomena, i.e., impacts of dike construction arise greatly in summer and fall. Refined grid system consisting of 150m${\times}$150m rectangular grid, which is doubled system compared to previous study (Suh et al.,2002), gives affordable results by reducing flux differences through a cell especially in front of gate.

In the design conditions of some research reactors, the siphon phenomenon can cause continuous efflux of water during pipe rupture. A siphon breaker is a safety device that can prevent water efflux effectively. However, the analysis of the siphon breaking is complicated because many variables must be included in the calculation process. For this reason, a simulation program was developed with a user-friendly GUI to analyze the siphon breaking easily. The program was developed by MFC programming using Visual Studio 2012 in Windows 8. After saving the input parameters from a user, the program proceeds with three steps of calculation using fluid mechanics formulas. Bernoulli's equation is used to calculate the velocity, quantity, water level, undershooting, pressure, loss coefficient, and factors related to the two-phase flow. The Chisholm model is used to predict the results from a real-scale experiment. The simulation results are shown in a graph, through which a user can examine the total breaking situation. It is also possible to save all of the resulting data. The program allows a user to easily confirm the status of the siphon breaking and would be helpful in the design of siphon breakers.
