The ciculation due to bottom density current produced by a dense inflow into a small reservoir is analysed by numerical scheme. Before the front of the density current arrives at the downstream end, the mixing in the reservoir is mainly caused by the anticlockwise vortex formed at the downstream of plunging point along the movement of bottom density current. Upon the arrival of the front of the density current at the downstream end an internal surge is created through an internal hydraulic jump. With repeated propagation of the internal surge back and forth the mixing in the reservoir is progressed and the thickness of dense layer is increased upward. The dilution of the overflow at downstream end is found to depend on inflow densimetric Froude number, reservoir length and elapsed time. The time required for the overflow to attain a specified dilution increases as reservoir length increases and Fre decreases.

A three-dimensional numerical model with free water surface was established to investigate flow characteristics of surface buoyant jets and river plumes. Turbulent shear stresses and turbulent buoyancy fluxes were expressed in terms of the eddy viscosities and diffusivities. Stable stratification effects due to density difference between discharged water and receiving ambient water were taken into with empirical formulae. Through a comparison of numerical results with published experimental data the validity of the model was shown and the optimal stratification functions was determined The three-dimensional spreading characteristics were examined and the effects of inlet densimetric Froude number, inlet aspect ratio and water surface elevation on the flow development were discussed.

The reattachment of buoyant effluent to shore in a crossflow is investigated experimentally. The effluent is produced by discharging warm water through projecting side channel into a confined cross-flow of the same depth. In the projecting effluent, the size of recirculating region, which is formed by defleted thermal plume on the lee of the effluent, tends to increase, but the maximum temperature decreases in the direction of the crossflow and it has more even transverse spreading compared to non-projecting type. The heat flux across the crossflow is found to be independant of the projected length of the side channel under relatively low buoyancy flux on the contrary to high buoyancy flux. The reattachment of the effluent can be specified by both velocity ratio and densimetric Froude number, whereas only the velocity ratio is governing factor to the reattachment of the effluent in the case of non-projecting type.

본류와 지류가 만나는 하천 합류부에서 발생하는 복잡한 흐름 구조는 하상변동에 영향을 주며, 본류와 다른 특성을 보이는 지류의 유입은 수질과 수생태계에도 영향을 준다. 합류부는 하천 변화의 다양성을 보이기 때문에 하천 관리 측면에서 중요한 구간으로, 흐름 및 혼합 특성 이해가 중요하다. 합류부에서의 흐름 및 혼합은 본류와 지류의 유량비, 밀도차, 단차, 합류각, 하도형상 등의 영향으로 그 양상이 달라지며, 흐름장 및 두 수체에 의한 이송물질의 혼합이 이루어졌다고 간주하는 혼합거리는 지류가 본류에 미치는 영향 범위 분석을 위한 중요한 매개변수이다. 본 연구에서는 합류부 흐름에 미치는 주요 인자 중 유량비와 밀도차가 합류부 흐름 및 혼합에 미치는 영향을 수치해석을 통해 분석하고, 조건의 변화에 따른 혼합거리를 예측해 보고자 한다. 본 연구의 대상 지역인 낙동강-황강 합류부는 다기능보와 댐의 운영에 따라 유입 유량 및 유량비가 조절되며, 여름철에는 황강의 수온이 낙동강보다 평균 4℃ 이상 낮으며, 9℃(지류 20℃; 본류 29℃) 이상의 수온차가 발생하기도 한다. 이 경우 밀도비는 0.998로 밀도류가 발생할 수 있는데, 밀도류가 발생할 경우 수표면과 저층이 분리되어 흐르기 때문에 동일 유량 조건에서도 혼합 양상은 달라진다. 밀도류가 발생하기 위해서는 수표면과 저층이 분리되는 성층이 발달해야 하는데, 이는 유속 또는 유량의 범위에 따라 성층의 발달 여부가 달라질 수 있다. 이러한 현장 조건을 반영한 수치해석을 통해 다양한 유량 조건(유량비)에서 밀도의 차이(수온차)가 합류부의 흐름 및 혼합에 미치는 영향을 분석해 보고자 하며, 합류부에서 밀도차에 의한 흐름의 변화 조건을 무차원수(Richardson number, Densimetric Froude number 등)를 통해 정량화해보고자 한다. 이는 지류가 본류에 미치는 영향의 정도와 범위를 파악함으로써 하천 관리를 위한 관측망 및 현장 조사의 범위 선정의 기초자료 마련뿐 아니라 본류의 수온 변화가 발생할 수 있는 범위의 파악을 통해 수생태계에 미치는 영향 파악을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Because the existing scour prediction formulas for plunge pools of pipe culverts and spillways give a wide range of predicted scour depths, it is difficult to estimate actual scour depths. A review of literature showed that wide range of predicted values was caused mostly by lack of thorough analysis of the scour mechanism. In this study, the effects of the parameters govering scour were examined, and the scour potentials were measured. The major variables govering scour were the velocity and size of jet impinging into the plunge pool, the submerged weight of bed material, the ratio of jet size to bed material size, the tail watr depth of the plunge pool, and the angle of jet impact on water surface. The ratio of jet size to bed material size to bed material size was found to be another significant parameter affecting scour for larger bed materials. A densimetric Froude nember of the bed material in incipient motion was formulated. This number represented the scour potential of the jet at the point where the bed material was tested.

Rosette-type diffusers with four-ports per riser are constructed in relatively shallow water in Korea. However, the trajectorial bending phenomena due to lower-pressure inside the surrounded buoyant jets on the riser was not considered in most models and was not observed without any experimental results. The buoyant jet behavior affected by the bending effect where there have been growing interests need to be verified experimentally and need to be preceded in the analysis of the characteristics of the buoyant jets oil a riser. The hydraulic model experiments have been carried out to investigate the characteristics of the behavior of horizontal buoyant jets discharged from a Rosette-type riser with four ports as well as single port over a certain range of the experimental conditions including initial momentum and initial buoyancy using LIF (Laser Induced Fluorescence) system to obtain concentration fields. The intensity of the fluorescent light in each pixel on the images obtained from LIF system with the tracer of Rhodamine H was converted to the local dye concentration with a set of calibration procedures to account for the non-uniform distribution of light intensity and the attenuation of light energy by water medium. The experimental results shows that the trajectories from Your ports tend to bend more and more to the inner side with the increase of the densimetric Froude number while the buoyant jet from a single port rises up without any bending phenomena. The previous models, VISJET and Seo et al. (2002), do not simulate the trajectories well except the region before the bending section. This study will focus on the analysis of the behavior of the buoyant jets for mainly a Rosette-type riser by conducting hydraulic model experiments using LIF system.
