  • Long term streamflow regime under virtual climate change scenario was examined. Rainfall forecast simulation of the Canadian Global Coupled Model (CGCM2) of the Canadian Climate Center for modeling and analysis for the IPCC SRES B2 scenario was used for analysis. The B2 scenario envisions slower population growth (10.4 billion by 2010) with a more rapidly evolving economy and more emphasis on environmental protection. The relatively large scale of GCM hinders the accurate computation of the important streamflow characteristics such as the peak flow rate and lag time, etc. The GCM rainfall with more than 100km scale was downscaled to 2km-scale using the space-time stochastic random cascade model. The HEC-HMS was used for distributed hydrologic model which can take the grid rainfall as input data. The result illustrates that the annual variation of the total runoff and the peak flow can be much greater than rainfall variation, which means actual impact of rainfall variation for the available water resources can be much greater than the extent of the rainfall variation.

  • Recently, the mortar crack on floor is very serious in construction field, e.g. the crack due to plastic shrinkage and the crack due to drying shrinkage. To prevent this kind of crack, optimum mix propertions not only satisfying the required workability but also minimizing the unit water content were selected. And the expansion admixtures were used to compensate the shrinkage of mortar. This study shows that water/cement ratio used in construction field is about 64%. Even if we reduce water/cement ratio of mortar by the appropriate use the fine aggregate with high fineness modulus and superplastizer, floor mortar can have the required workability. The equations between mortar flow and water/cement ratio, sand/cement ratio, fineness modulus of fine aggregate were proposed in this study. And this equation may provide available mix proportions of floor mortar.

  • Large amount of water is diverted annually for irrigation along the Yellow River. Owing to the tremendous sediment carried by the river , sediment deposits is an important problem in irrigation and drainage system. The sediment has to be taken out by machines from the irrigation system, otherwise water can not be available in the right place at the right time. In order to improve the sediment desilting efficiency, the sediments that settle in certain sites of a irrigation system must be removed by different desilting machines with special performance and working conditions. Those certain sites include : the diversion canal in the flood plain , the mouth of inlet, settling basin , irrigation and drainage system. In view of removal sediment above, the paper presents the ideas of type selection of desilting machines applied to certain sites. Proposals of making further improvement on performance for some desilting machines are also put forward.

  • Wet/Dry phenomena typically incorporate a number of complex flow mechanism. These include a momentum transfer and turbulent mixing caused by the delivery of water. However currently available one dimensional schemes applicable to wet/dry process cannot effectively simulate such process. Two dimensional finite element model, SU/PG, is used to simulate complex flow in this study. The Wetted Area Method in SU/PG allows elements to transition gradually between wet and dry states. The model is applicable to a straight river reach with irregular bathymetry. Wet/dry calculation using the wetted area method can simulate simple numerical test. The computed results of velocity vectors and water depth agree with those of observed. The methodology Presented in this study will contributed to two-dimensional wet/dry analysis in a river in this country.

  • This paper is evaluated for properties of aggregate and antiwashout admixture not only to minimize segregation and water contamination of underwater concrete but also to meet concrete quality required. Two antiwashout admixtures used in this study were available domestically and slump flow, pH, setting time, and filing property of fresh concrete and the compressive strength, flexural strength under water and in the air under 2 different curing conditions ($10^{\cire}C$ and $20^{\cire}C$ ) were measured. Compressive strength ratio of specimens cured in and water temperature $10^{\cire}C$ /$20^{\cire}C$ added HPEC and HPMC was 64% and 89%, respectively. Relative compressive strength of 2 kinds observed higher concrete added HPEC, 3% at $10^{\cire}C$ curing temperature, 34% at $20^{\cire}C$ . The flexural strength of specimens made under water was 1/4~1/6 of compressive strength similar to the existing data in the literature.

  • In recent days, many manufacturing factories have been established and operated along riversides or on sea coasts. In consequence thereof, modern inland vessels with their small draught but large carrying capacity have been developed to operate as a single unit or in convoy with a barge. Knowledge in the behaviour of inland cargo vessels in shallow water exists presumably in U.S.A., U.S.S.R. and West Germany Literature available on this subject is quite limited. Model tests were carried out, both in calm water and in waves to obtain hull lines, which not only improve the seaworthiness of inland vessels but also permit to run in convey with other vessels on inland waterways. The results, which to some extent have also been tested in full scale, are entirely satisfactory. This paper discribes the resistance of some newly developed inland water cargo vessels.

  • To analyze and evaluate the performance of developing air to water multi heat pump, the heat pump was installed and tested at low energy house in Daejeon, korea. Heating capacity of heat pump is 16.5KW and cooling capacity is 14.0KW. Space heating/cooling, floor heating and hot water is available. The results performance evaluation of heat pump in lab test showed that the coefficient of performance (cop) was 3.75, and heating capacity was 16.0KW in ambient temperature $7^{\circ}C$. Also at ambient temperature $-15^{\circ}C$, the COP was 1.69. At a low energy house, floor heating is controled by a floor heating water temperature and a room temperature. The COP of heat pump is decreased with frequent on/off operation for controlling of floor heating water temperature.

  • In this paper, the oblique water-entry impact of a vehicle with a disk cavitator is studied experimentally and numerically. The effectiveness and accuracy of the numerical simulation are verified quantitatively by the experiments in this paper and the data available in the literature. Then, the numerical model is used to simulate the hydrodynamic characteristics and flow patterns of the vehicle under different entry conditions, and the axial force is found to be an important parameter. The influences of entry angle, entry speed and cavitator area on the axial force are studied. The variation law of the force coefficient and the dimensionless penetration distance at the peak of the axial force are revealed. The research conclusions are beneficial to engineering calculations on the impact force of a vehicle with a disk cavitator over a wide range of water-entry parameters.

  • Streamflow prediction is a critical task in water resources management and essential for planning and decision-making purposes. However, the streamflow prediction is challenging due to the complexity and non-linear nature of hydrological processes. The transfer learning is a powerful technique that enables a model to transfer knowledge from a source domain to a target domain, improving model performance with limited data in the target domain. In this study, we apply the transfer learning using the Informer model, which is a state-of-the-art deep learning model for streamflow prediction. The model was trained on a large-scale hydrological dataset in the source basin and then fine-tuned using a smaller dataset available in the target basin to predict the streamflow in the target basin. The results demonstrate that transfer learning using the Informer model significantly outperforms the traditional machine learning models and even other deep learning models for streamflow prediction, especially when the target domain has limited data. Moreover, the results indicate the effectiveness of streamflow prediction when knowledge transfer is used to improve the generalizability of hydrologic models in data-sparse regions.
