Characteristics of bubbling behavior and bubble properties were investigated in a gas-liquid countercurrent bubble column of in diameter 0.152 m and 3.5 m in height, respectively. Effects of gas and liquid velocities and bubble distribution mode(even, wall-side, central or asymmetric distribution) on the bubble properties such as chord length, frequency, rising velocity and holdup in the reactor were measured and examined by means of dual resistivity probe method. The bubble size, frequency and holdup increased with increasing gas($U_G$) or liquid velocity($U_L$). The rising velocity of bubbles increased with increasing $U_G$, whereas decreased with increasing $U_L$. The uniformity of bubble size distribution and bubble holdup decreased when the distribution mode of bubbles at the gas distributor was changed from even to wall-side, central or asymmetric. The central distribution of bubbles was better than asymmetric mode but worse than wall-side distribution, in considering the bubble holdup and uniformity of distribution.

River vegetation has important functions such as providing a habitat for the river ecosystem and physical stability of the river bank. It also has adverse effects such as aggravating flood damages due to the increase in roughness coefficient and drag forces. River vegetation management is very important in finding a balance between flood and ecological management. There are still many uncertainties about the effect of vegetation on rivers. In this study, in order to analyze the effect of vegetated flow, the flow patterns according to the vegetation roughness are analyzed through a two-dimensional unsteady flow model for Chopyeong island of the Imjin River. According to the results of the 2D flow analysis using the HEC-RAS 2D model, the velocity distribution in the bend of the Imjin River was greatly affected by the vegetation roughness of Chopyeong Island. The formation of the main flow outside the bend of Chopyeong Island during flooding is presumed due to the influence of tree and grass on Chopyeong Island. If tree are distributed throughout Chopyeong Island, the velocity outside the bend is expected to be higher. River vegetation causes the effect of raising the water level, and could cause a change in the velocity distribution.

Stability analysis based on the limit equilibrium method combined with the result of infiltration analysis is commonly used to evaluate the effect of rainfall infiltration on the slope stability. Soil is a three-phase mixture composed of solid particle, water and air. Therefore, a fully coupled mixture theories of stress-deformation behavior and the flow of water and air should be used to accurately analyze the process of rainfall infiltration through soil slope. The purpose of this study is to study the effect of interaction of air and water flow on the mechanical stability of slope. In this study, stability analyses based on the coupled hydro-mechanical model of three-phases were conducted for slope of weathered granite soil widespread in Korea. During the process of hydro-mechanical analysis strength reduction technique was applied to evaluate the effect of rainfall infiltration on the slope stability. The results showed an increase of air pressure during infiltration because rain water continuously displaced the air in the unsaturated zone. Such water-air interaction in the pore space of soil affects the stress-deformation behavior of slope. Therefore, the results from the three-phase model showed different behavior from the solid-water model that ignores the transport effect of air in the pores.

In this study, we conducted flume experiments to investigate the three-dimensional flow structures around a half-submerged spur dike in a straight open channel flume. The experiments were carried out under the two different Froude numbers, 0.10 and 0.18. The results were compared with the previous experimental result conducted for non-submerged spur dike. Three-dimensional instantaneous velocities were measured using Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry (ADV) and water elevation data were collected using ultra sonic distance sensor. The results show that submergence conditions of the spur dike largely influence the three-dimensional flow structures around a spur dike.

This experimental study was performed to investigate internal flow and unsteady flow characteristics using a model for actual shape of a plate heat exchanger and visualization of flow through the particle image velocimetry. Seven Reynolds numbers were selected by calculation with the height of grooved channel and sectional mean velocity of inlet flow in the experiment, and instantaneous velocity distributions and flow characteristics were experimently investigated. The triangular grooved channel had a compound flow consisting of the flow in lower channel and the groove flow receiving shear stress by the channel flow in the experiment. The sheared mixing layer, in the boundary between the triangular groove and the channel, affected main flow to raise turbulent in the channel.

In the Seoul metropolitan bus network, it may be necessary for a bus passenger to pick up a parcel, which has been purchased through e-commerce, at his or her convenient bus stop on the way to home or office. The flow-capturing location-allocation model can be applied to select pickup points for such bus stops so that they maximize the captured passenger flows, where each passenger flow represents an origin-destination (O-D) pair of a passenger trip. In this paper, we propose a fast heuristic algorithm to select pickup points using a large O-D matrix, which has been extracted from five million transportation card transactions. The experimental results demonstrate the bus stops chosen as pickup points in terms of passenger flow and capture ratio, and illustrate the spatial distribution of the top 20 pickup points on a map.

The purpose of this study is to examine the control function of discharged flow due to the shape and plane arrangement of permeable submerged breakwater. For the discussion on it in detail, 3-dimensional numerical model based on PBM (Porous Body Model), which is able to simulate directly interaction of Fluid Permeable structure Seabed has been used to simulate water discharge in a NWT (Numerical Water Tank). To verify the applicability, LES-WASS-3D is analyzed comparing to the experimental result about propagation characteristics of dam-break wave through a permeable structure. Using the results obtained from numerical simulation, the effects of the shape and plane arrangement of submerged breakwater on reducing velocity and flow induction have been discussed related to the mean flow distribution and vertical distributions of horizontal velocities around ones.

The soil moisture measurements and correlation analysis are presented to improve understanding the hydrological process at the hillslope scale. The rainfall events is a main driver of soil moisture variation, and its stochastic characteristic need to be properly treated prior to the correlation analysis between soil moisture measurements. Using field measurements for two designated periods during the late summer and autumn seasons in 2007 obtained from the Bumrunsa hillslope located at the Sulmachun watershed, prewhitened correlation analysis were performed for 8, 14, 7 and 7 relationships representing the vertical, lateral, recharge and return flows, for two designated periods, respectively. The analysis indicated both temporal and spatial variation patterns of hydrological processes, which can be explained by the relative contribution of matrix and macropore flows and the impact of transect topography, respectively.

최근 기후변화에 따른 집중호우로 도시홍수의 피해가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 특히 인구가 밀집하고 교통량이 많은 대도시의 경우 동일한 호우에 대하여 녹지나 농경지 등에 비해 그 피해가 더 심각하다. 일반적으로 홍수 피해의 직접원인은 외수로 인한 피해와 내수로 인한 피해로 크게 구분할 수 있다. 외수피해는 주로 소하천 및 지천의 범람, 제방의 붕괴 등으로 발생한 것이며 내수피해는 배수로, 하수도 및 펌프장의 내수배제능력 부족이 주된 원인이다. 따라서 도시홍수를 효과적으로 방어하기 위해서는 우선적으로 내배수시설의 성능개선이 선행되어야 할 필요가 있다. 이러한 내배수 시설 중 빗물펌프장은 흡수조로 우수를 유도한 후 펌프를 이용하여 하천으로 배수하고 있다. 우수를 원활히 하천으로 배수하기 위해서는 흡수조 내 흐름이 안정적으로 형성되어야 한다. 하지만 갑작스런 폭우 등으로 인하여 우수가 짧은 시간에 집중될 경우 흡수조 내에서 빠른 유속과 불규칙한 흐름이 발생하여 와류가 생성된다. 이러한 와류는 펌프 입구로 공기를 유입시켜 효율 저하의 원인이 되며, 공동현상을 발생시켜 펌프의 손상을 초래하기도 한다. 따라서 와류발생 저감장치(Anti-Vortex Device)를 설치하여 와류의 생성을 억제하고자 하는 연구들이 수행되었으며, 그 결과 다양한 형태의 와류발생 저감장치가 소개되었다. 하지만 와류발생 저감장치의 명확한 설계기준이 제시되어 있지 않으며, 와류발생 저감장치를 설치하였을 때 효율이 얼마만큼 증가하는가에 대한 실험적인 자료가 제시되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 원뿔 형태의 와류발생 저감장치 설치 전 후의 흐름특성을 분석하여 원뿔형태의 와류발생 저감장치가 흐름안정에 얼마나 효과가 있는지를 확인하기 위하여 PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) 기법을 이용한 유속분포와 와도를 분석하여 흐름 안정 효과를 정량적으로 검토하였다. 그 결과 와류 발생을 저감할 수 있었으며, 정량적으로 와도가 감소하여 펌프 흡입량이 증가됨을 확인하였다. 향후 추가적으로 다양한 형태의 와류발생 저감장치에 대한 효과를 검토한다면 최적의 펌프 흡수조 설계에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

2018년부터 삼척지역에는 전파강수관측소(X-band 이중편파레이더)가 설치되어 현업 운영 중에 있다. 해당 지역은 영동지역은 산지로 둘러싸여 있어 지형적인 여건으로 지상강우관측망과 기존 대형 강우레이더로도 정확한 강우관측에 한계가 있었다. 설치 이후 전파강수관측소의 품질관리와 최적 관측전략 수립, 분포형 비차등위상차 기반의 강우추정 기법의 적용으로 정량적 추정강우의 정확도가 확보되어 75m의 고해상도 격자강우 정보가 제공되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 전파강수관측소의 정량적 추정강우를 홍수예보에 활용하기 위해서 강우기반의 하천 수위 예측 기법인 하천흐름계산도표를 개발하였다. 하천흐름계산도표가 개발된 지역은 삼척 전파강수관측소의 관측 반경에 포함되는 삼척오십천 유역이며, 해당지역은 수변공원으로 조성되어 있어 시민의 접근이 용이하여 하천 수위 급상승으로 인해 피해가능성이 높은 지역이다. 2019년과 2020년 호우사례를 대상으로 개발된 하천흐름계산도표에 전파강수관측소의 정량적 추정강우를 적용하여 하천수위 상승 예측성을 평가하였다. 또한 비교대상으로 강우관측소 강우자료와 환경부 대형 강우레이더 강우자료의 적용결과를 함께 비교하였다. 비차등 위상차 기반의 강우추정 기법을 적용하여 산정된 삼척 전파강수관측소의 정량강우는 기존의 강우추정 결과(SRI, CMP_HFC)보다 강우추정 정확도가 향상된 것을 확인하였다. 특히, 10km 관측 반경을 기준으로 분석하면 정확도가 상대적으로 높았다. 삼척 전파강수관측소 추정강우를 하천흐름 계산도표에 적용한 결과, 2020년 9월 7일 호우에 의해 삼척오십천 유역에서 관심수위 초과(10:20), 주의수위 초과(11:20)가 발생하였는데, 삼척 전파강수관측소 추정강우가 관심수위 초과 1시간 50분 전에 수위상승을 예측하였고, 주의수위 초과 30분전에 수위상승을 예측하였다. 이를 통해 개발된 하천흐름계산도표와 삼척 전파강수관측소의 홍수예보 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.
