This paper presents a numerical investigation of vorticity generation in fully vegetated open-channel flows. The Reynolds stress model is used for the turbulence closure. Open-channel flows with rough bed-smooth sidewalls and smooth bed-rough sidewalls are simulated. The computed vectors show that in channel flows with rough bed and rough sidewalls, the free-surface secondary currents become relatively smaller and larger, respectively, compared with that of plain channel flows. Also, open-channel flows over vegetation are simulated. The computed bottom vortex occupies the entire water depth, while the free-surface vortex is reduced. The contours of turbulent anisotropy and Reynolds stress are presented with different density of vegetation. The budget analysis of vorticity equation is carried out to investigate the generation mechanism of secondary currents. The results of the budget analysis show that in plain open-channel flow, the production by anisotropy is important in the vicinity of the wall and free-surface boundaries, and the production by Reynolds stress is important in the region away from the boundaries. However, this rule is not effective in vegetated channel flows. Also, in plain channel flows, the vorticity is generated mainly in the vicinity of the free-surface and the bottom, while in vegetated channel flows, the regions of the bottom and vegetation height are important to generate the vorticity.

정확하고 신뢰성 높은 유량 자료는 수자원의 정량적인 계획과 관리에 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 Chiu는 기존의 결정론적인 흐름 방향 유속분포식의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 방법으로 확률통계에서 사용되는 엔트로피 개념을 이용한 3차원 유속분포 식을 제안하였고, 이를 실험실 데이터와 자연하천에 적용하여 신뢰성과 정확성을 지속적으로 증명하여 마침내 이에 대한 활용성이 매우 크게 대두되어 Chiu의 유속공식을 적극적으로 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 지금까지 이론적인 유속 분포식을 검증하기 위하여 단면 형상이 일정한 직사각형이나 사다리꼴 동의 실험수로에서부터 불규칙한 단면 형상을 갖는 자연 하천에 대한 적용을 거의 이루고 있는 실정이나, 하상경사가 변하는 경우에도 엔트로피 파라미터(M)가 이에 대응하여 평형상태에 도달하려고 하는지에 대한 연구는 전무하다. 본 연구에서는 하상경사를 임의로 변경 가능한 실험수로를 선택하여 정밀법에 의한 유속측정을 실시하였다. 같은 지점의 같은 단면에서 하상경사(${\Theta}$)가 0.000935부터 0.025794까지 28번의 경사변화를 주고 각 경사마다 유량을 측정하여 28개의 유량측정 데이터를, Chiu의 엔트로피 유속공식에 적용하여, 평균유속과 최대유속 사이의 관계가 선형관계, 즉 하상경사가 변하는 경우에도 엔트로피 파라미터(M)가 이에 대응하여 평형상태에 도달함을 증명하였다.

딥러닝 알고리즘 중 과거의 정보를 저장하는 문제(장기종속성 문제)가 있는 단순 RNN(Simple Recurrent Neural Network)의 단점을 해결한 LSTM(Long short-term memory)이 등장하면서 특정한 유역의 강우-유출 모형을 구축하는 연구가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 하나의 모형으로 모든 유역에 대한 유출을 예측하는 지역화 강우-유출 모형은 서로 다른 유역의 식생, 지형 등의 차이에서 발생하는 수문학적 행동의 차이를 학습해야 하므로 모형 구축에 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 국내 12개의 유역에 대하여 LSTM 기반 분포형 지역화 강우-유출 모형을 구축한 이후 강우 이외의 보조 자료에 따른 정확도를 살펴보았다. 국내 12개 유역의 7년 (2012.01.01-2018.12.31) 동안의 49개 격자(4km²)에 대한 10분 간격 레이더 강우, MODIS 위성 이미지 영상을 활용한 식생지수 (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), 10분 간격 기온, 유역 평균 경사, 단순 하천 경사를 입력자료로 활용하였으며 10분 간격 유량 자료를 출력 자료로 사용하여 LSTM 기반 분포형 지역화 강우-유출 모형을 구축하였다. 이후 구축된 모형의 성능을 검증하기 위해 학습에 사용되지 않은 3개의 유역에 대한 자료를 활용하여 Nash-Sutcliffe Model Efficiency Coefficient (NSE)를 확인하였다. 식생지수를 보조 자료를 활용하였을 경우 제안한 모형은 3개의 검증 유역에 대하여 하천 흐름을 높은 정확도로 예측하였으며 딥러닝 모형이 위성 자료를 통하여 식생에 의한 차단 및 토양 침투와 같은 동적 요소의 학습이 가능함을 나타낸다.

Since water flow in the ground depends on the pore structure composed of soil grains, equations to predict the hydraulic properties based on the grain size have low accuracy. This paper presents a methodology to compute constriction-pore size distribution by Silveria's method and estimate saturated and unsaturated hydraulic properties of soils. Well-graded soil shows a uni-modal pore size distribution, and poor-graded soil does a bimodal distribution. Among theoretical models for saturated hydraulic conductivity using pore size distribution, Marshall model is well-matched with experimental results. Model formulas for soil-water characteristic curves and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity using the pore size distribution are proposed for hydraulic analysis of unsaturated soil. Continuous research is needed to select a model suitable to estimate hydraulic properties by applying the developed model formulas to various soils.

This study aims at hydrologically demonstrating the universality of power law distribution by analyzing runoff aggregation structures of river basins. Power law distribution is fitted to cumulative drainage area of basins of interest by maximum likelihood, which results in the power law exponents. And then those exponents are assessed in terms of the shape of catchment plan-form. As a main result all of the basins in this study have similar distributions of catchment area. The exponents from this study tend to be higher than the ones from previous researches reflecting self-similar property of the catchment plan-forms of interest. Further study is required about the universality of power law distribution by means of the more realistic flow routing scheme within the framework of DEM.

In this study, we coupled a computation fluid dynamics (CFD) model to the local data assimilation and prediction system (LDAPS), a current operational numerical weather prediction model of the Korea Meteorological Administration. We investigated the characteristics of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) distributions in a building-congested district. To analyze the effects of road emission on the PM2.5 concentrations, we calculated road emissions based on the monthly, daily, and hourly emission factors and the total amount of PM2.5 emissions established from the Clean Air Policy Support System (CAPSS) of the Ministry of Environment. We validated the simulated PM2.5 concentrations against those measured at the PKNU-AQ Sensor stations. In the cases of no road emission, the LDAPS-CFD model underestimated the PM2.5 concentrations measured at the PKNU-AQ Sensor stations. The LDAPS-CFD model improved the PM2.5 concentration predictions by considering road emission. At 07 and 19 LST on 22 June 2020, the southerly wind was dominant at the target area. The PM2.5 distribution at 07 LST were similar to that at 19 LST. The simulated PM2.5 concentrations were significantly affected by the road emissions at the roadside but not significantly at the building roof. In the road-emission case, the PM2.5 concentration was high at the north (wind speeds were weak) and west roads (a long street canyon). The PM2.5 concentration was low in the east road where the building density was relatively low.

In this paper, commercial CFD program FLUENT v5.3 is used for simulation of MCFC stack. Besides using conservation equations included in FLUENT by default, mass change, mole fraction change and heat added or removed due to electrochemical reactions and water gas shift reaction are considered by adding several equations using user defined function. The stacks calculated are 6 and 25 kW class coflow stack which are composed of 20 and 40 unit cells respectively. Simulation results showed that pressure drop took place in the direction of gas flow, and the pressure drop of cathode side is more larger than that of anode side. And the velocity of cathode gas decreased along with the gas flow direction, but the velocity of anode gas increased because of the mass and volume changes by the chemical reactions in each electrodes. Simulated temperature profile of the stack tended to increase along with the gas flow direction and it showed similar results with the experimental data. Water gas shift reaction was endothermic at the gas inlet side but it was exothermic at the outlet side of electrode respectively. Therefore water gas shift reaction played a role in increasing temperature difference between inlet and outlet side of stack. This results suggests that the simulation of large scale commercial stacks need to consider water gas shift reaction.

In this study, field measurements were conducted in the section about 7 km from sea dike to westward. The observations of along channel current were carried out, and water temperature and salinity were measured simultaneously at 10 stations during one tidal cycle, and sampling interval is 1 hour. The maximum ebb current is about 1.5 m/s at the surface layer but flood current is 0.4 m/s at the bottom layer during discharge period. Residual current during river discharge shows two layer structures which is typical characteristic of the estuary system. On the other hand, residual current during a period with no discharge has shown multi-layer structure different from general estuarine systems. The distribution of high salinity can be seen at the bottom layer as the effect of discharge does not reach down to the bottom layer during discharge. As a result, freshwater is not effected at the bottom layer during observation, and mixing of surface layer to bottom layer is reduced by stratification.

Using a computationalfluid dynamics(CFD) model, thisstudy evaluated the representativeness of an air quality monitoring system (AQMS) in an urban area and presented a methodology to determine the suitable AQMS locations for specific purposes. For this, we selected a 1.6 km × 1.6 km area around the Eunpyeong-gu AQMS (AQMS 111181) as a target area. We conducted simulationsfor two emission scenarios (scenario one: air pollutants transported from inflow boundaries, scenario two: air pollutants emitted from roads). Urban airflows were markedly influenced by mountainous terrain located in the northeast and southeast of the target area, and complicated airflow patterns occurred around the buildings. The distributions of air pollutants were dependent on the terrain (mountain) in scenario one, but the road location and building height in scenario 2. We evaluated whether the AQMS could represent the air quality in the target area based on the simulations for two scenarios. The concentrations simulated at the AQMS were similar in magnitude to the layer mean concentrations, which indicated good representativeness for the air quality in the target area. We also suggested which locations were suitable for different measurement purposes (hot spots, clean zones, average zones, shelter zones, equi-background zones).

Field observations were conducted to collect hydrodynamic and morphological data, which are needed to account for mechanisms of bathymetry changes caused by physical forcings, in Haeundae beach. In order to quantitatively describe characteristics of wave transformations and current patterns in space in winter and summer, in-situ sensors for measuring waves and current profiles were installed at three locations in the cross-shore direction and also three locations in the along-shore direction. As for the results of wave measurements, waves with main direction from the east dominate in winter while waves are incident from the S and the ESE in summer. Analysis of current data reveals that currents over the study domain are considerably influenced by a pattern of tidal motions, thereby, mainly oscillating in the direction of tidal currents, i.e., east-west directions, in both winter and summer. Currents tend to be influenced by local bathymetry in the shallow water region, with the direction changed along the depth contours and the magnitude reduced as they approach the shoreline. The results analysed from the hydrodynamic data through this study can be further combined with the morphological and bathymetry data, leading to the quantification of seasonal sediment transport rates and sand budget changes.
