This study represents the methodology for feasibility analysis of small hydro power plants. Cumulative density function of Weibull distribution and Thi-essen method were adopted to beside flow duration curve at candidate sites. The performance prediction model and construction cost estimation model for tunnel-type small hydro power plants were developed. Eight candidate sites existing on Han river selected and surveyed for actual sites reconnaissance. The performance characteristics and economical feasibility for these sites were analyzed by using developed models. As a result, it was found that the optimum design flowrates with the lowest unit generation cost for tunnel-type small hydro power plants were the flowrate concerning with between 20 % and 30 % of time ratio on the flow duration curve. Additionally, primary design specifications such as design flowrate, effective head, capacity, annual average load factor, annual electricity production were estimated and discussed for surveyed sites.

하천형태학적 특성은 유역의 수문학적 특성 및 수리학적 특성과 밀접한 관계를 가진다. 본 논문은 하천형태학적 특성과 빈도유량 및 하도의 수리기하학적 특성간의 상관성을 금강수계를 대상으로 분석하였으며 이들 연구의 목적은 미계측지점에 대한 이수계획을 수립하는데 필요한 자료를 제공하는데 있다. 금강수계의 하천형태학적 특성분석은 Horton의 하천차수개념을 이용하여 하천지형의 3대 법칙에 의하여 분석하였으며 분석결과는 Horton의 법칙과 잘 일치하였다. 또한 유역특성과 수로특성간의 상관분석인 하천연장-유역면적관계와 상대고도-상대고도관계분석에서도 밀접한 상관성을 보여 주었다. 금강수계내의 5개수위표 지점에서 생기빈도 0.1~0.9의 유량자료를 사용하여 얻는 각 지점의 유량빈도곡선은 대체로 지수함수관계로 표시할 수 있었다. 하천형태학적 특성을 연속적으로 표시하기 위하여 비례하천차수를 도입하였으며 이를 이용하여 유량 = 생기빈도 - 비례하천차수간의 관계에 대한 수학적 모형을 정립하였다. 또한 서로 다른 두 축척에 따라 하천차수는 달라지나 하천형태학적 특성에 관한 Horton의 3대법칙에는 근본적으로 영향이 없음을 알 수 있었다. 유역의 하천형태학적 특성을 매개변수로 하여 빈도유량과 수리기하학적 인자간의 관계, 유역면적과 수리기하학적 인자간의 관계 및 연평균 유출용적과 수리기하학적 인자간의 관계를 분석하여 각각에 대한 수학적 모형을 제안하였다.

This paper proposes a flow-rate control system for industrial valves. Industrial valves are used in piping systems to control the flow rate and pressure. In general, valves used in pipelines are classified into globe valves, butterfly valves, and ball valves according to the shape. Motor, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems are used for operating valves. The flow meter should measure the flow rate when configuring the flow-rate control system. On the other hand, because the flow rate of the valve can be expressed by flow coefficient, a control scheme is proposed using the pressure deviation, which measures at the front and rear of the valve. The transfer function for the valve, according to the control input, was estimated using the signal compression method. Based on the induced transfer function, the disturbance observer was designed to improve the command following the performance of the valve stem. The performance of the proposed control method is compared with the flow-rate control result using the flow meter used.

The rating curve is required to convert measured stage into a discharge and is developed using the measurement. In the development of the rating curve, the segmentation position is determined by considering the hydraulic characteristic and channel shape, and subjective judgment of the Hydrographer may intervene in this process. The segmentation position is so important that it determines the overall form of the rating curve, and the incorrect segmentation can cause errors in the rating curve, especially in extrapolation. In order to develop an accurate rating curve with a small number of measurements, the sections must be divided by considering hydraulic characteristic such as the cross-sectional shape. In this study, hydraulic examination methods such as stage-mean velocity, stage-area, stage-${\sqrt{Q}}$ investigated and supplemented to eliminate subjectivity in segmental positioning. Appropriateness for the segmentation position was verify in consideration of the physical meaning of the rating curve index (c).

The feasibility of simultaneous measurement of gas-liquid tow-phase flowrate and quality with a sharp-edged orifice has been investigated. Instantaneous pressure drop curves were monitored for various combinations of gas and liquid flowrates in the bubbly flow regime and some statistical properties of the curves were calculated. The time-averaged value of pressure drop increases with increasing gas and liquid flowrate, whereas the mean amplitude and the intensity of fluctuation monotonically increase as void fraction becomes larger in the flow regime. The statistical furctions for the instantaneous curves indicate a consistent pattern throughout the flow regime and the probability density function, which as a single-peaked and symmetrical distribution, is well predicted by the Gaussian distribution function. The results indicate that simultaneous determination of two-phase flowrate and quality may be possible based upon the statistical analysis of instaneous pressure drop curves measured in a sharp-edged orifice.

This study aimed to calculate the CFFs (critical flow functions) of a sonic nozzle bank with a 12-nozzle package within 1 s. Toward this end, the Helmholtz free energy of natural gas was formulated by using the AGA8-dc equation of state in a form without integral terms, and thereafter, thermodynamic properties such as the enthalpy, entropy, speed of sound, and heat capacity, which are used in CFF calculation, were derived in analytical form. As a result, the calculation time of CFFs was improved from 6.7 s in a previous study to 0.6 s per 12-nozzle package and kept almost constant regardless of the number of components in natural gas. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the calculated CFF values were in agreement with the results of a CFF international comparison test carried out under ISO management in 1998-1999.

The objectives of this study are to develop a state-space form of stochastic dynamic storage function routing model and to test the model performance for real-time flow forecast. The selected study area is the main Han River starting from Paldang Dam site to Indogyo station and the 13 flood events occurred from 1987 to 1998 are selected for computing model parameters and testing the model performance. It was shown that the optimal model parameters are quite different depending on Hood events, but the values used on field work also give reasonable results in this study area. It is also obvious that the model performance from the stochastic-dynamic model developed in this study gives more accurate and reliable results than that from the existing deterministic model. Analysis for allowable forecast lead time leads that under the current time step the reasonable predicted downstream flows in 5 hours time advance are obtained from the stochastic dynamic model on relatively less lateral inflow event in the study area.

여름철 발생하는 집중호우는 해안지역 및 하천유역의 저지대에 상습적인 침수를 유발하며, 도시지역은 높은 불투수율로 인해 추가적인 침수 피해가 발생하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 폭함수를 통해 하천망의 공간적인 특성을 함수형태로 나타내어 유역의 수문분석에 이용하는 폭함수 단위도법(WFIUH, Width Function Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph)을 소개하고, 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 실제 유역 및 강우 사상에 적용해보았다. WFIUH는 기존의 집중형 수문모형과 다르게 매개변수를 물리적으로 결정할 수 있으며, 유역특성과 시공간적 변동성을 수문곡선 산정에 반영할 수 있는 장점이 있다. WFIUH의 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 2003년 한반도에 심각한 침수피해를 입힌 태풍 매미로 인해 발생한 강우사상과 그로인해 큰 피해가 있었던 마산 지역의 남천, 삼호천 일부 유역을 대상으로 강우-유출 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 범용 수문모형인 HEC-HMS와 비교 시 유사한 결과를 보이며, 실제 관측치와도 유사한 결과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 강우의 이동을 반영하여 강우의 이동이 수문곡선과 첨두유량에 미치는 영향을 비교분석 하였다.

본 연구에서는 격자강우량과 GIS와 연계한 격자기반의 공간수문자료들을 모형의 입력매개변수로 활용하고, 수계망을 통하여 유역 출구까지 운동파(kinematic wave)이론에 의해 유출량을 물리적으로 추적해 나가는 격자기반의 분포형 강우-유출모형인 K-DRUM(Kwater Distributed RUnoff Model)을 개발하였고, 지표유출량에 가장 큰 영향을 주지만 실제 관측 및 적용이 용이하지 않은 유역의 초기토양함수상태에 대한 자동보정기법을 개발하였다. 개발된 자동보정기법을 이용하여 남강댐유역을 대상으로 적용가능성을 평가하였다. 연구에서 사용한 강우사상은 남강댐 유역에 큰 영향을 준 태풍 루사 (2002년 8월 31일 01시$^{\sim}$9월1일 23시), 태풍 매미 (2003년 9월 12일 01시$^{\sim}$9월13일 23시), 2004년의 대류성강우 (2004년 7월14일 01시$^{\sim}$7월 16일 10시) 및 태풍 에위니아 (2006년 7월 8일 18시$^{\sim}$7월11일 12시)의 총 4개의 사상을 대상으로 하였다. 개발한 유역의 초기토양함수상태 자동보정기법에 의한 유출모의의 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 모의에 사용된 매개변수 중 토지피복도에 의해 결정되는 조도계수와 토양도에 의해 결정되는 유효토심, 흡인수두계수, 공극률 및 투수계수는 4개의 강우사상에서 모두 동일한 조건으로 설정하였고, 유역내 토양 내부 수분함유량 산정을 위한 초기 기저유출량은 검토대상 기간 시점부에서 관측된 유출량으로 설정하였다. 초기토양함수상태 자동보정기법 적용을 통한 유출해석의 정확도는 체적오차 백분율(VER)과 첨두 유량 오차 백분율(QER)을 이용하여 평가하였으며, 이를 통해 본 모형이 유출량에 대한 정확성을 확보하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 자동보정 기법을 적용한 결과, 초기토양조건을 설정하는데 있어서 기존의 시행착오법으로 인해 소요되는 시간과 유역내 토양 특성과 지형형상을 고려하지 않는 설정으로 인해 발생될 수 있는 문제점을 해결할 수 있었으며, 유출계산 결과도 유량의 크기와 첨두시간 모두 관측값과 비교적 잘 맞는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The relationship between discharge (Q) and suspended sediment (SS) concentration often is used for the estimation of inflow SS concentration in reservoir turbidity modeling in the absence of actual measurements. The power function, SS=aQb, is the most commonly used empirical relation to determine the SS load assuming the SS flux is controlled by variations of discharge. However, Q-SS relation typically is site specific and can vary depending on the season of the year. In addition, the relation sometimes shows hysteresis during rising limb and falling limb for an event hydrograph. The objective of this study was to examine the hysteresis of Q-SS relationships through continuous field measurements during flood events at inflow rivers of Yongdam Reservoir and Soyang Reservoir, and to analyze its effect on the bias of SS load estimation. The results confirmed that Q-SS relations display a high degree of scatter and clock-wise hysteresis during flood events, and higher SS concentrations were observed during rising limb than falling limb at the same discharge. The hysteresis caused significant bias and underestimation of SS loading to the reservoirs when the power function is used, which is important consideration in turbidity modeling for the reservoirs. As an alternative of Q-SS relation, turbidity-SS relation is suggested. The turbidity-SS relations showed less variations and dramatically reduced the bias with observed SS loading. Therefore, a real-time monitoring of inflow turbidity is necessary to better estimate of SS influx to the reservoirs and enhance the reliability of reservoir turbidity modeling.
