Settling Basins are one of the most important and popular methods for removal of suspended sediments irrigation and drainage networks or power canals taking off from an alluvial river and wastewater treatment plant. Improving the performance and so increasing sediment removal efficiency of settling basins by an alternative method is necessary. In the present work, the effect of baffle and its angle of attack with the flow (${\theta}$) on the sediment removal efficiency is investigated by conducting a series of experiments on a straight canal with 8 m length, 0.3 m width and 0.5 m height and 3 m length of basin equipped with an adjustable glass baffle. A numerical analysis has been carried out using ANSYS Fluent 3D software (a general purpose computational fluid dynamics simulation tool) for three Froude numbers from the experiments. The numerical and experimental results were found to match reasonably well.

A numerical simulation on the flow field was carried out on the cylindrical shell with baffles. The steady incompressible 3-D Navier-Stokes solution is obtained with the actual operational condition and geometry of the heat exchanger. The effect of the location of inlet and outlet on the cylindrical shell with baffle is investigated by varying flow rate. The angle between the location of In/Outlet and baffle cutting part is $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $120^{\circ}$, $150^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$. The present results show that the pressure drop is dependent on Reynolds number in the inlet area and position of inlet and outlet; i.e., the pressure drop increases with increasing Reynolds number and the pressure drop decreases with increasing angle between baffle cutting part and position of inlet and outlet.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of longitudinal baffle on hydrodynamic behavior within a certain full-scale sedimentation basin (flow rate per basin; $1,000m^3/d$). Comparative experimental investigations have been carried out on the sediment removal efficiencies and the sludge deposit distribution in the baffled and un-baffled sedimentation basin, respectively. From the results derived in the baffled and un-baffled sedimentation, the turbidity removal rate in the baffled sedimentation basin is about 38% higher than that in un-baffled. Also, the height of sludge deposit in the baffled sedimentation basin is approximately 20% lower, and the sludge concentration is 10% higher than those in un-baffled sedimentation basin. In order to explain the experimental results and investigate the effect of longitudinal baffle in more detail, we conducted Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. From the results of CFD simulation, the flow, especially in the near of outlet orifice, was more stable in the case of longitudinal baffled sedimentation basin than that in un-baffled basin. Also, it could be concluded that the longitudinal baffle made a fully developed flow more effective for sedimentation.

A numerical study has been peformed to investigate the flow and mixing characteristics of a chemical injection tank in the chemical and volume control system (CVCS) of Yonggwang 5&6 (YGN 5&6). This study was undertaken to provide a basis for modification of the previous design (YGN 3&4) which gave a lot of difficulties in installation and operation of the chemical injection system during the start-up test because it needs a special reciprocating pump with a high actual head. For the tank of length-to-diameter ratios (L/D) of 1,2 and 3, each with and without a baffle inside, calculation results were obtained by solving the unsteady laminar two-dimensional elliptic forms of governing equations for the mass, momentum and species concentration. Finite-difference method was used to obtain discretized equations, and the SIMPLER solution algorithm, which was developed based on the staggered grid control volume, was employed for the calculation procedure. Results showed that the baffle is very effective in enhancing the mixing in the tank and that a baffle should be installed near the tank entrance in order to 110 chemicals into the reactor coolant system (RCS) within the operating time required.

A sedimentation basin is used to remove suspended sediments which can cause abrasive and erosive wear on hydraulic turbines of hydropower plants. This sediment erosion not only decreases efficiency of the turbine but also increases maintenance costs. In this study, the three-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out on the overseas hydropower project. The simulations of flow and suspended sediment concentration were obtained using FLOW-3D computational fluid dynamics code. The simulations provide removal efficiency of a sedimentation basin based on particle sizes. The influence of baffles on the flow field and the removal efficiency of suspended sediments in the sedimentation basin has been investigated. This paper also provides the numerical simulations for sediment-induced density currents that may occur in the sedimentation basin. The simulation results indicate that the formation of density currents decreases the removal efficiency. When a baffle is installed in the sedimentation basin, the baffle provides intensive settling zones resulting in increasing the sediments settling. Thus the enhanced removal efficiency can be achieved by installing the baffle inside the sedimentation basin.

인도네시아는 전력 공급이 매우 부족한 현실에 처해 있으며, 이에 대한 해결책으로 화력발전소 건설 계획이 증가하고 있다. 화력발전소는 발전에 수반되는 엔진과 장비의 과열을 식히기 위해 냉각수 계통을 필요로 하며, 냉각수 계통 중 순환수 취수펌프장(circulating water pump chamber)은 일반적으로 ANSI (1998) 기준에 따라 설계된다. 본 연구에서는 인도네시아 K-석탄화력발전소의 순환수취수펌프장이 현장 여건상 ANSI (1998)의 확산각 설계기준 $20^{\circ}$를 만족시킬 수 없어, 수리적으로 안정된 흐름 및 구조물이 되도록 3차원 수치모형실험을 수행하였다. 수치모형으로 Flow-3D 모형을 이용하였다. Flow-3D 모형의 적용성을 검토하기 위해 Rodi (1997)의 사각형 구조물 주변에 형성되는 흐름 연구 결과와 금회 수치해석 결과를 비교하였다. 수치해석에서 도출된 종방향 유속 분포는 잘 일치함을 보여주고 있다. 순환수취수펌프장 내 설계유속을 만족시키기 위해 유속 저감에 유리한 사각형 형태의 배플을 적용하였다. 순환수취수펌프장으로 유입되는 유속이 1.5 m/s ~ 2.5 m/s로 분포되는 경우, 배플에서 분리흐름의 각도는 약 $15^{\circ}{\sim}20^{\circ}$로 발생하였다. 이를 고려하여 분리흐름 각도 이하로 하류에 배플을 배치함으로 Inlet bay 설계유속 0.5 m/s 이하를 만족시켰다.

피라미는 국내 하천에서 서식하며 국지적인 회유를 하는 대표적인 어종이다. 피라미와 같이 작은 몸집의 국지회유성 어종은 서식처간의 이동이 생존을 위해 필수적이다. 그러나 어류 서식처간의 연결부가 배수암거(culvert)로 설치되어 있는 경우에는 평상시 빠른 유속이 발생되어 어류 이동에 많은 장애를 주고 있다. 외국에서는 배수암거의 설계유량과 유속기준이 홍수기간과 어류가 상류로 올라가는 기간별로 필요한 기능에 따라 제시되어 있어 홍수시에는 홍수소통기능, 평상시에는 어도기능이 발휘되도록 설계하고 있다. 암거식 어도의 설치는 암거의 어도기능을 향상시키는 방법 중 하나이다. 그러나 국내에서는 배수암거의 설계유량과 유속기준이 홍수소통기능에 대해서만 제시되어 있어 어도기능은 고려하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 옵셋배플 설치후 수리특성 및 어류이동 효과의 실험을 실험수로 내에서 일정간격의 유속단계별로 옵셋배플 설치전과 비교하며 분석하였다. 실험 결과 유속 1.2m/s 경우에서는 높이 5cm의 옵셋배플 설치 후 유속이 저감됨에 따라 피라미가 암거식 어도를 따라서 상류로 거슬러 올라가는 성공률, 즉 소상성공률이 최대 20% 개선됨을 확인하였다. 특히 직각으로 설치된 짧은 배플 구간이 피라미가 이동하는 주 이동경로로 나타났다. 그리고 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용한 3차원 수치해석을 수행하여 어도 설계시 수치모형실험의 활용가능성을 검토하였다.

도시지역 비점오염부하를 저감하는 장치 중에서 수리동력학적 분리장치(HDS)는 가장 많이 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 HDS장치 유형 중에서 Vortex Screen 장치를 실험실 규모로 개발 및 제작하여 강우유출수 처리특성을 분석하였다. 강우유출수내 입자물질을 모의하기 위하여 실험에 사용한 시료는 합류식 하수관거의 맨홀 바닥 퇴적물질, 도로변 측구의 퇴적물질, 소각장 fly ash, polyvinyl chloride (PVC)분말 등의 시료를 대상으로 하였다. 유입유량의 변화를 주었을 때 처리장치 본체에서 약 2분이 경과한 후 안정된 상태에서 유입수와 유출수 시료를 동시에 채수하였다. 수면적부하율은 110∼1,550 $m^3/m^2$ day의 범위로 운전하였으며, 유입수 SS농도의 범위는 141~1,986 mg/L로 하였다. Vortex Screen을 이용하여 다양한 입경과 밀도들 가진 입자들을 대상으로 수면적부하율과 하부배출유량비를 운전조건으로 하여 처리특성을 분석한 결과 제거효율에 영향을 주는 인자 중, 월류유량에 대한 하부배출유량 비율($Q_U/Q_O$), $Q_U/Q_O$값이 10%에서 20% 증가 시 SS 제거효율은 6% 증가하는 특성을 나타내었다. 도시지역의 대표적인 입경을 가진 퇴적물질 125<$d_p$<300 ${\mu}m$를 대상으로 처리능을 분석한 결과 SS, COD 제거효율 범위는 각각 68.0~ 81.0%, 53.1~71.9%를 나타내었다. 수면적 부하율이 증가함에 따라 처리효율은 유입부 유도판을 설치한 경우가 설치하지 않은 경우보다 10~20% 향상되는 것으로 분석되었다.

To improve the flow distribution at channel locations in the welded plate heat exchanger with "L"-type inflow, the flow visualization of Model 1 was carried out. Besides, the characteristics of flow distribution was investigated experimentally according to the header shape. The inlet flow rate for each channel location was increased at the side channels but decreased at the central channels. In the case of Model 2, which has a slant structure added to the basic header of Model 1, the unevenness of inlet flow increased by 23% from 0.019 to 0.023 as compared to Model 1. On the other hand, Model 3, which has a baffle structure added to Model 2, showed 0.064 unevenness in inlet flow, which was a 36% reduction one compared to Model 1. To improve the distribution at each channel in the welded plate heat exchanger with "L"-type flow, it is necessary to improve the header external shape for the guide of flow as well as the baffle structure for reduction of vortex flow.

In ocean industry, free surface type ART (Anti Roll tank) system has been widely used to suppress the roll motion of floating structures. In those, various obstacles have been devised to obtain the sufficient damping and to enhance the controllability of freely rushing water inside the tank. Most of previous researches have paid on the development of simple mathematical formula for coupled ship-ARTs analysis although other numerical and experimental approaches exist. Little attention has been focused on the use of 3D panel method for preliminary design of free surface type ART despite its advantages in computational time and general capacity for hydrodynamic damping estimation. This study aims at developing a potential theory based hydrodynamic code for the analysis of floating structure with baffled ARTs. The sloshing in baffled tanks is modeled through the linear potential theory with FE discretization and it coupled with hydrodynamic equations of floating structures discretized by BEM and FEM, resulting in direct coupled FE-BE formulation. The general capacity of proposed formulation is emphasized through the coupled hydrodynamic analysis of floating structure and sloshing inside baffled ARTs. In addition, the numerical methods for natural sloshing frequency tuning and estimation of hydrodynamic damping ratio of liquid sloshing in baffled tanks undergoing wave exiting loads are developed through the proposed formulation. In numerical examples, effects of natural frequency tuning and baffle ratios on the maximum and significant roll motions are investigated.
