Energy loss at manholes under surcharged flow is considered as one of the major causes of inundation in urban area. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the flow characteristics to reduce the energy loss in the surcharged four-way combining manhole. In this study, hydraulic experimental apparatus was constructed considering the results of the present survey. Square manholes and pipe diameters were reduced to 1/5 by applying sewer facility standards. Numerical simulations were carried out with the Fluent 6.3 model to derive the invert condition which can reduce the energy loss in the surcharged four-way combining square manhole. The hydraulic experiments were carried out according to the various conditions of the lateral flow rate($Q_{lat}/Q_{out}$), discharge of outflow pipe (2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.8 l/sec), and invert shape (rectangle and square open conduit type). The crossed invert was not found to improve the drainage capacity of the surcharged four-way rectangular combining manhole. However, the improved rectangle open conduit type invert and square open conduit type invert were analyzed to improve the drainage capacity by reducing the head loss coefficients by about 8% and 28%, respectively. Therefore, in order to increase the drainage capacity of urban facilities, it is possible to install and use the improved invert proposed in this study.

현재 계획 또는 설계 단계에서 수행되고 있는 관거 시설의 수리계산에는 연결관 내에서의 마찰손실만을 감안하여 수행하고 있으며, 맨홀에서의 에너지 손실은 고려되지 않는 실정이다. 그러나 연결관 내부와 맨홀의 내부는 여러 가지 수리학적 조건이 다르므로 에너지 손실이 발생하게 된다(최원석과 송호면, 2002). 더욱이 직선으로 연결된 중간맨홀보다 유입관과 유출관이 $90^{\circ}$의 각도로 접합된 합류맨홀은 연결 구조상 유수교란에 의한 에너지 손실이 커질 것으로 예상됨에도 불구하고 현재 실무에서 우수 배수시설의 설계 시 직선 연결맨홀과 $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀의 손실을 구별하지 않고 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 그러므로 $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀에서 우수관거 시스템의 우수 배제 능력을 증가시켜 도심지의 침수를 방지하기 위한 관거시설의 적정 설계 기준이 필요하며, 합리적인 설계 기준을 제시하기 위하여 $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀 내에서의 수두 손실을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 수리모형 실험의 물질적 및 시간적 한계를 극복하기 위하여 일반적으로 3차원 유체거동의 특성분석에 많이 사용되는 Fluent 6.3 모형을 이용하여 과부하 $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀에서의 흐름특성을 수치모의 하였으며, 맨홀 내 손실수두의 변화를 계산하여 손실계수를 산정하였다. 맨홀 및 접합 관거의 기하 모형의 격자망은 수치해석의 안정성 확보를 위하여 그림 1과 같이 6면체 격자로 구성하였다. 또한 $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀에서 급격한 와류에 의해 발생하는 에너지 손실을 저감하기 위하여 $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀의 내부 형상 및 접합 조건을 변화시켜 손실계수를 산정하였다. 수치모형의 적용 결과 맨홀 내에서의 유속변화, 수심변화 및 압력변화에 대해서는 수리모형 실험 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내고 있으며, 수치모형에 의하여 산정된 $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀에서 에서의 손실계수 값과 수리모형에 의하여 산정된 손실계수 값이 거의 유사하게 나타났다.

Energy loss at manholes, often exceeding friction loss of pipes under surcharged flow, is considered as one of the major causes of inundation in urban area. Therefore, it is important to analyze the head losses at manholes, especially in case of surcharged flow. The stream characteristics were analyzed and head loss coefficients were estimated by using the computational fluid dynamics(CFD) model, FLUENT 6.3, at surcharged square manhole in this study. The CFD model was carefully assessed by comparing simulated results with the experimental ones. The study results indicate that there was good agreement between simulation model and experiment. The CFD model was proved to be capable of estimating the head loss coefficients at surcharged manholes. The head loss coefficients with variation of the ratio of manhole width(B) to inflow pipe diameter(d) and variation of the drop height at surcharged square manhole with a straight-path through were calculated using FLUENT 6.3. As the ratio of B/d increases, head loss coefficient increases. The depth and head loss coefficient at manhole were gradually increased when the drop height was more than 5cm. Therefore, the CFD model(Fluent 6.3) might be used as a tool to simulate the water depth, energy losses, and velocity distribution at surcharged square manhole.

현재 계획 또는 설계단계에서 수행되고 있는 우수 관거 시스템의 수리계산에서는 연결관의 마찰손실만을 감안하여 수행하고 있으며, 맨홀에서의 수두손실은 고려되지 않는 실정이다. 특히 과부하 $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀 내부에서의 복잡한 흐름 현상에 의하여 발생하는 에너지 손실은 일반적인 직선 연결 맨홀에 의해서 발생하는 에너지 손실과 큰 차이를 보이지만 현재 우수 관거 설계 및 관리에서는 이를 대부분 고려하지 않는 실정이다. 또한 직선으로 연결된 맨홀보다 $90^{\circ}$ 접합 맨홀은 유수교란에 의한 에너지 손실이 커지므로 이에 대한 $90^{\circ}$ 접합 맨홀에서의 에너지 손실 저감에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 합류 맨홀 중 $90^{\circ}$ 접합 맨홀에서의 에너지 손실 저감 방법의 분석을 위하여 하수도시설기준(환경부, 2005)의 표준 1호(원형), 특 1호(사각형) 맨홀을 각각 축소 제작하고, 수리실험 장치를 제작하여 수리 실험을 실시하였으며, 실험결과를 benching을 사용하지 않은 $90^{\circ}$ 접합 맨홀의 평균 손실계수를 산정한 윤세의 등(2008)의 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 접합위치를 변경한 원형 맨홀 CASE B에서의 평균 손실계수는 1.1로 산정되어 CASE A의 1.6보다 크게 감소하였다. 접합위치를 변경한 사각형 맨홀 CASE B에서는 1.5로 산정되어 손실계수의 감소폭이 적었으나, 접합위치를 변경하고 side benching을 설치한 CASE C에서의 평균 손실계수는 1.1로 산정되어 CASE A의 사각형 맨홀의 손실계수 1.6에 비하여 큰 감소 효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 $90^{\circ}$ 접합 원형 맨홀에서는 접합 위치를 변경시킨 CASE B의 형태를 사용하고, 사각형 맨홀에서는 접합 위치를 변경시키고 side benching을 설치한 CASE C의 형태를 사용하면 우수 관거 시설의 배수능력을 향상 시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The XP-SWMM model, widely used for inundation analysis of urban watersheds, underestimated the inundation area (range) because the manhole was regarded as a node and the influence of the local loss occurring in the surcharged manhole can not be considered. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the applicability of the head loss coefficients considering the local loss in the surcharged manholes in inundation analysis using XP-SWMM. The Dorim 1 drainage section of the Dorim-river watershed, where frequent domestic flood damage occurred, was selected as the study watershed. The head loss coefficients of the surcharged manholes estimated from the previous experimental studies were applied to the inundation analysis, and the changes of the inundation area with and without the application of the head loss coefficients with manhole types were compared and analyzed. As a result of inundation simulation with the application of head loss coefficients, the matching rates were increased by 17% in comparison with the without application of them. In addition, the simulated inundation area applied only the head loss coefficients of straight path manholes and applied up to the head loss coefficients of combining manholes ($90^{\circ}$ bend, 3-way, and 4-way) were similar. Therefore, in order to accurately simulate the storm drain system in urban areas, it could be to carry out two-dimensional inundation analysis considering the head loss coefficients at the surcharged manholes. It was expected that the study results will be utilized as basic data for establishing the identification of the inundation risk area.

Urban drainage systems are generally designed as open channel flow. The system, however, shows a partially surcharged flow in its body, especially at junctions or manholes. Thus, a special case of this condition needs to be explained as pressurized flow condition for designing the sewer system. This study considered the surcharged manhole flows during an unexpected rainfall event or an excess of design frequency. Overflows from surcharged manholes and urban flooding can occur from the effect of surcharged flows. Thus, sewer systems should be designed with the concept of open channel flow and pressurized flow. Also, energy losses in a manhole need to be considered. The aim of this study is to develop the numerical model which can evaluate the effect of the energy losses at the manhole. The numerical model was verified and compared with hydraulic model and SWMM. The results showed that the water depth of numerical model was in good agreement with hydraulic model at the each manhole. However, the SWMM underestimated the water depth because that model ignored the energy losses at manholes. Thus, the developed numerical model in this study could be a useful tool for the assessment of a conveyance of urban drainage system.

The management of sewage and rainfall runoff becomes an emerging problem with the growth of urban communities. From the uncontrollable excess intensity or amount of rainfall, the conditions of sewer surcharge or manhole overflow could be generated in the combined sewer network where municipal or industrial wastewaters and rainfall runoff flow. The predictive model far the prevention of property and human life losses from this inundation was studied in this research. In the development of a mathematical flow model for the combined sewer surcharge and overflow, the Preissmann Slot concept and the four-point implicit method of finite difference were utilized. For the usage in personal computer, the overlapping segment method that required less memory storage was adopted. Through the simulation of hypothetical sewer network, the conservation of discharge volume was checked, and the usefulness of the Preissmann Slot was assured from the temporal distribution of discharge and depth along the sewer network. Also the possible field application for the correction of sewer diameters and slopes in the design of sewer network which has no surcharge/overflow condition was suggested.

This study presented how to evaluate the inland inundation risk considering the characteristics of inland flood. Fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), which can deal with the uncertainty or ambiguousness of the decision-making process, was used to estimate the inundation risk. The criteria used for inland inundation risk include the physical index, social index and inland flood. Each index contains three detailed indicators then total nine indicators were employed in this study. The inundation risk evaluation was carried out for each node (manhole) within the drainage system, not to the administrative extent, which enabled us to point out nodes with high risk. The proposed Fuzzy AHP was applied to Geoje district in Busan. The results indicated that the junction of Oncheoncheon and Geojecheon has high risk which is consistent with the fact that this junction has already experienced floods in the past. The proposed method can be used for evaluating inland inundation risk and preparing flood prevention plans in inland flood-prone urban areas.

The use of hydrodynamic separator is becoming increasingly popular for suspended solids reduction in urban storm runoff. This study is a laboratory investigation of the use of Vortex Screen to reduce the solids concentration of synthesized storm runoff. The synthesized storm runoff was made with water and addition of particles; manhole sediment, road sediment, fly ash, and ployvinyl chloride powder. Vortex Screen was made of acryl resin with 250 mm of diameter and height of 700 mm. To determine the removal efficiency for various influent concentrations of suspended solids (SS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), tests were performed with different operational conditions. The samples were taken simultaneously at the influent storage tank and effluent tank, and measured SS and COD concentrations. The ranges of surface loading rate were 110 to 1,550 $m^3/m^2$/day, and influent SS concentrations were varied from 141 to 1,986 mg/L. This paper was intended to evaluate the effect of inlet baffle and the ratio of underflow to overflow ($Q_U/Q_O$) on particle separation efficiency for various particle size using Vortex Screen. It was found that when increase of $Q_U/Q_O$ from 10% to 20%, SS removal efficiency was increased about 6%. The range of SS and COD removal efficiencies of road sediment particle size 125<$d_p$<300 ${\mu}m$ were 68.0~81.0%, 53.1~71.9%, respectively. Results showed that SS removal efficiency with inlet baffle improved by about 10~20% compared without inlet baffle.

Interceptor sewer is installed underground near to the river side mostly ofstate-owned land and the management efficiency of public sewage disposal facilities is decreasing as too much infiltration/inflow(I/I) and river flow to interceptor sewer are caused by broken or deteriorated sewer. This also affects the sewer pipeline project and decreases its efficiency. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate interceptor sewer which has influence on the reduction of the project effect. The investigation were performed for three study areas. The study includes the investigation of current condition of interceptor sewer(sewer extension, pipe diameter, pipe type, installed year, installed locations, etc), investigation of inside of sewer by CCTV accompanied by pumping and dredging works where required, investigation of inside of manholes by eyes, calculation of pollutant load using the results of investigation of flow quantity and quality. Multipoint investigations were simultaneously performed for flow quantity at confluence area and other investigations were also performed for flow quantity and BOD for interceptor sewer and comparison of pollutant load, investigation of infiltration/inflow(I/I) caused by deterioration of interceptor sewer. As the result of the study, a main reason for reduced effect of sewer pipe improvement project was analyzed as the low-density sewage and I/I in public seweage treatment Facility due to deteriorated and unmanaged interceptor sewers.
