Various types of flow patterns around the stepped weir and spillway, such as the skimming flow over such structures and the wave-type flow with a standing undular hydraulic jump and roller downstream of the structures, are developed in open channels. Unsteady three-dimensional numerical simulations are carried out using a hybrid RANS-LES turbulence modeling approach and the volume of fluid method for resolving free surface fluctuations to represent the turbulent flow including the skimming flow and wave-type flow over a stepped weir installed in a rectangular channel. The comparison of numerical results with an existing experimental measurement reveals that the present numerical simulations reasonably well reproduce the turbulent flow passing the stepped weir, in terms of time-averaged velocity profiles at selected locations downstream of the weir, flow topology characterized by the wave-type and skimming flows, the maximum height and length of the standing wave and the length of reattachment of recirculating zone. The numerical result further elucidates the distinct flow behaviors of the wave-type and skimming flow by presenting instantaneous intense variations of free surface and velocity vectors, the distributions of Reynolds shear stress and turbulent kinetic energy and three-dimensional complex features of coherent structures and total pressure distribution.

The interchanges of urban freeways have many problems with traffic operation due to high off-ramp flows and frequent congestion at adjacent intersections. The flow exiting from off-ramps is affected by the operational status and traffic volume conditions of the nearest signalized intersection. As a result, off-ramp flow cannot exit and the queue backs up the freeway mainline when queues from the signalized intersection form up to the junction of the off-ramp and street. The spacing between an off-ramp and an adjacent intersection is likely to determine the traffic conditions at the adjacent intersection. However, the current design guidelines do not consider such a factor. This study is to develop a model calculating the spacing between off-ramps and adjacent intersections considering the signal, traffic, and road conditions. The variables affecting the model in this study are effective green time (g/C), volume-capacity ratio (v/c), the number of lanes, and off-ramp volume. Various scenarios are designed to represent the effects of the variables and the road networks are constructed using VISSIM, which is a common traffic micro-simulation software package. The queue length is derived from VISSIM and this length is considered as the recommended spacing between the off-ramp and the adjacent intersection. Through the simulation analysis, regression models are developed to calculate the queue length reflecting the various conditions such as signals, traffic, and road configurations. The developed model can be used to create road design guidelines to determine the location of off-ramps in the planning stage.

The velocity and turbulent intensity of the jet core are affected by the vortices around jet. By the control of vortex acoustically, we can expect the changes of the flow and heat transfer characteristics of free and impinging jets. On this paper, we studied the effects of vortex forcing. If vortex pairings are promoted by acoustic excitation, the turbulent intensity is increased and the high heat transfer coefficients are obtained at the small nozzle to plate distance. On the other hand, it has low turbulent intensity at the center of jet. However due to increase of potential core length, it is more effective at the large nozzle to plate distance. Therefore the excited frequency, especially its subharmonic frequency, has an important role to control the jet flows.

2차류는 주흐름 방향 유속에 비하여 작지만 유속을 재분포 시켜 흐름의 교란을 발생시키는 매우 중요한 인자이다(Woo, 2001). 2차류는 만곡부, 합류부, 분류부에서 흐름분리와 함께 나타나는 흐름특성 중 하나이지만 각 지점별로 2차류의 분포는 서로 상이하다. 하지만 국내에서는 만곡부에서의 2차류에 대한 영향에 대해서만 주로 연구가 이루어졌으며, 합류부와 분류부에 대해서는 연구가 아직 체계적으로 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 합류부와 분류부에서 2차류 영향을 고려한 2차원 수치모형을 적용하여 흐름특성 변화를 수치모의 하였다. 2차류 흐름을 고려한 수치모의를 위해 TELEMAC-2D 수치모형을 이용하였으며, 2차류의 영향을 고려하지 않고 계산한 SUPG기법을 적용한 모의결과에 대하여 Bernard and Schneider(1992)가 제안한 경험계수를 적용 후 그 결과를 실험결과와 비교분석하였다. 합류부(confluence)에서는 본류와 지류의 유량비가 증가할수록 흐름분리구역 길이와 최대폭이 증가하지만, 분류부(Bifurcation)에서는 분류수로 유량비가 증가할수록 흐름분리구역 길이와 최대폭이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 2차류를 제외한 수치모의에서 실내시험에서 제시한 분류유량비와 수심 및 유속분포를 동시에 충족시키기 어렵다. 반면 2차류 영향을 고려시 분기수로내 통수능을 감소시키는 흐름분리구역과 2차류의 상호작용에 의한 흐름정체효과로 분류유량비가 감소하였으며, 2차류 영향을 고려하여 모의한 결과 분류부 수치모의의 안정성과 정확성을 향상되었다. 하지만 본 모형에서 적용한 2차류 흐름관련 매개변수는 흐름특성에 따라 시행착오법에 따라 산출해야 하는 특성 때문에 향후에 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

The dilution and the shore attachment of buoyant effluent into a crossflow are investigated experimentally. The effluent is produced by discharging warm water through a side channel into an open channel crossflow with the same depth to the side channel flow. Buoyancy causes the effluent to lift off the bottom, spreads across the crossflow and stays as the surface layer. The geometry of the recirculating region and the dilution of the effluent depend mainly on the buoyancy. The condition of the shore attachment can be specified by the ratios of velocities and Froude numbers.

하천은 여러 하천의 연결망으로 구성되어 있으며, 연결부는 절점으로 이루어져 있고, 이 절점은 하천이 합류하는 곳으로서 하천의 시스템을 구성하는 가장 중요한 요소이다. 최근에 친자연 하천 복원 등의 많은 사업을 하고 있음에도 불구하고 이에 대한 검토가 거의 이루어지지 않고 있으며, 이를 검토하고 이해하는 것이 하천을 복원하고 관리하는데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 본류와 지류의 하상경사 및 하상고가 다르고, 유사 유입조건이 다른 비평형 유입조건을 갖고 있으며, 하폭이 넓고 수심이 상대적으로 얕은 합류부에서 흐름 및 하상변동에 관하여 수치모의를 수행하여 그 특성을 파악하는데 그 목적이 있다. 적용 대상지역은 금강과 미호천의 합류부로서, 흐름 특성 및 하상변동을 모의하기 위하여 RMA-2와 SED2D를 이용하였다. 유량의 증가에 따라 흐름에 대한 유속이 증가하며, 전단층의 길이가 증가하고, 합류부의 우안의 정체수역에서 발생하는 와(vortex)의 크기도 증가하였다. 부유사의 농도는 실제 상황에 맞도록 비평형 유입조건을 사용하였으며, 미호천에서 유입되는 유사의 농도에 영향을 받아, 합류직후에도 유사의 농도가 높으며, 전단층을 경계로 하여 농도 띠가 하류로 유지되었으며, 합류 후에는 우안에서는 하상이 상승되었다.

A ground hot-firing test(HFT) was accomplished to draw a correlation between the pressure oscillation intensity of combustion chamber and thrust response characteristics in a 70 N-class hydrazine thruster which has been developed recently. Monopropellant grade hydrazine was adopted as a propellant for the HFT, and combustion-chamber characteristic length, propellant injection pressure were applied as test parameters. It was confirmed that the decrease of thrust-chamber diameter and injection pressure augmented the pressure oscillation of stagnation chamber in the test condition specified, and the oscillation hampered the pulse response performance of test models.

Aging tunnels with small cross-sections can cause chronic traffic jams. This problem can be solved by widening the tunnel. In general, when the tunnel is expanded, the outer portion of the existing tunnel is excavated through a mechanical or blasting method. Such excavation affects not only the surrounding ground but also the existing tunnel. The application of the pre-cutting method can be a solution to these problems effectively. Therefore, if the widening of tunnel is performed by applying pre-cutting method, analysis of the impact of this method must be performed. In this study, in order to analyze the effect of applying pre-cutting in tunnel widening, numerical analysis is performed at six ground grades, from grade I to weathered rock. The analysis is performed with the expanding lane and the excavation length of pre-cutting as variables. In addition, the analysis is focused on the displacement of crown of the existing tunnel and the enlarged tunnel. As a result, the crown displacement of the enlarged tunnel is confirmed to converge at the same value regardless of the excavation length of the pre-cutting when the tunnel widening is completed. In the case of existing tunnels, uplift of crown occurs within 5 m of the front of the tunnel surface, and the shorter the excavation length of pre-cutting is found to be effective in preventing the occurrence of uplift.

Hyporheic zone is a region beneath and alongside a stream, river, or lake bed, where there is mixing of shallow groundwater and surfacewater. Hyporheic exchange controls a variety of physical, biogeochemical and thermal processes, and provides unique ecotones in a aquatic ecosystem. Field and experimental observations, and modeling studies indicate that hyporheic exchange is mainly in response to pressure gradients driven by the geomorphological features of stream beds. In the reach scale of a stream, pool-riffle structures dominate the exchange patterns. Flow over a pool-riffle sequence develops recirculation zones and stagnation points, and this flow structures make irregular pressure gradient which is driving force of the hyporheic exchange. In this study, 3 D hydro-dynamic model solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for the surface water and Darcy's Law and the continuity equation for ground water. The two sets of equations are coupled via the pressure distribution along the interface. Simulation results show that recirculation zones and stagnation points in the pool-riffle structures dominantly control the upwelling and downwelling patterns. With decrease of recirculation zones, length of donwelling zone formed in front of riffles is reduced and position of maximum downwelling point moves downward. The numerical simulation could successfully predict the behavior of hyporheic exchange and contribute the field study, river management and restoration.

In order to characterize the microbial distribution at sediments of Lake Daechung, soil samples were collected at two depths of 0.5~2 cm and 19~21 cm of Chudong(static) and Hoenam(streaming) site on May 18th(before rainy season) and on August 24th in 1998(after rainy season), and then the density(CFU/g soil) of microorganisms including bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi was investigated by the viable cell counting method. Microbial density at streaming site was on the whole 3.9-fold higher than that at static site. Bacterial densities examined before and after rainy season was revealed to be similar, whereas actinomycetes and fungi exhibited higher distribution after and before rainy season, respectively. The microbial distribution was not generally reduced with the increase of depth and was rather higher at some deep sites. On comparing with the microbial densities of grass land around the lake, bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi at lake sediments on the average showed the distribution of 52.9%, 35%, and 7%, respectively. However, their distribution except for fungi which exhibited 71.2% was mostly found to be somewhat higher than at the shore of lake.
