  • Stormwater runoff affects the quality of surface water and groundwater due to the nonpoint sources (NPSs) of pollutants that it carries during storm events. Typically, urbanized areas experience high pollutant mass emission because of paved roads and other areas which are all highly impervious. For this reason, proper identification of the levels of pollutants from the watershed area is important to pass the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea's water quality standards in rivers and streams. This research was conducted in order to determine and quantify the different constituents present in stormwater runoff generated from highly impervious areas in Cheonan City, Korea. Also, the average event mean concentration (EMC) of stormwater runoff from paved areas was compared with EMCs of other countries to determine the possible causes of its occurrence. In addition, the occurrence of first flush phenomenon was studied in order to find the first flush criteria to be used on the design of best management practices. The results show the pollutant concentration of stormwater runoff was higher than other countries due its landuse and relatively small size of catchment area. During the first 30 minutes of the rainfall events, occurrence of first flush phenomenon was highly evident. Several factors affected the pollutant concentrations in the stormwater such as landuse type, geographic and topographic characteristics,catchment area and amount of rainfall. This research can provide guidance in achieving an effective NPS pollution management applicable to highly urbanized areas in the future.

  • This study classified UAV image-based physical spatial types for parks in urban areas of Changwon City and analyzed thermal comfort characteristics according to physical spatial types by comparing them with ENVI-met thermal comfort results. Physical spatial types were classified into four types according to UAV-based NDVI and SVF characteristics. As a result of ENVI-met thermal comfort, the TMRT difference between the tree-dense area and other areas was up to 30℃ or more, and it was 19. 6℃ at 16:00, which was the largest during the afternoon. As a result of analyzing UAV-based physical spatial types and thermal comfort characteristics by time period, it was confirmed that the physical spatial types with high NDVI and high SVF showed a similar to thermal comfort change patterns by time when using UAV, and the physical spatial types with dense trees and artificial structures showed a low correlation to thermal comfort change patterns by time when using UAV. In conclusion, the possibility of identifying the distribution of thermal comfort based on UAV images was confirmed for the spatial type consisting of open and vegetation, and the area adjacent to the trees was found to be more thermally pleasant than the open area. Therefore, in the urban planning stage, it is necessary to create an open space in consideration of natural covering materials such as grass and trees, and when using artificial covering materials, it is judged that spatial planning should be done considering the proximity to trees and buildings. In the future, it is judged that it will be possible to quickly and accurately identify urban climate phenomena and establish urban planning considering thermal comfort through ground LIDAR and In-situ measurement-based UAV image correction.

  • The thermal environmental chamber has been using in maintaining weather condition keeping thermal capacity under heating and cooling load fluctuation and for the performance testing of cooling system or air-conditioner on artificial envi-ronment. In ordder to make the various environmental conditions in the thermal environmental chamber the proper cooling system is necessary to eliminate the heating load produced inside the chamber and to maintain the designed environmental condition. For this reason the optimal design of cooling system and the prediction of performance is also required. This paper describes the prediction of performance of cooling system in the thermal environmental chamber with the capacity of 37,000kcal/hr which is developed for the test of performance in heating mode of heat pump system, In the results this paper is trying to develop simulation program on the base of mathematical models and which can be applied effectively to the optimal design of cooling system and prediction of performance to the inside and outside change of envi-ronmetal load.

  • A numerical study with Envi-met model is experimented to investigate the characteristics of wind pattern in apartment complex. In all case, most conditions such as wind speed, temperature, and surface features are considered as the same, but wind direction is the only different factor. The wind directions considered in this study have a meaning of prevailing wind direction. When the prevailing wind with the direction of $170^{\circ}$ blows into the complex, the ventilation passage toward the outside of complex is formed and the stagnation of air is not expressed. In case of having the direction of $300^{\circ}$, most evident ventilation passages are composed. When the inflow wind direction is the northeast, $30^{\circ}$, there is some possibility of stagnation phenomenon. This is because the arrangement of buildings makes a right angle with the inflow wind direction.

  • 산업공정에서 배출되는 대기오염물질 및 유독성가스를 제거하기 위한 방법에는 여러 가지가 적용되고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 충전탑을 이용한 흡수원리로써 오염물질을 처리하는데 후력학적 특성에 대해서 연구하였다. 즉 환경보호와 화학공업에서 에너지 절약 측면에 충전탑의 사용이 증가되고 있으며, 충전물의 재료로는 플라스틱, 금속 및 세라믹 등으로 제작되며 종류로는 VSP-ring, Hiflow-ring, Hackette, Top-packing, Envi-pac 등이 있고 사용범위는 정류와 증류, 흡수 및 탈착과 액체와 액체의 추출공정 등에 효율적으로 사용되고 있다. 산업현장에서는 과거에 주로 사용되어온 Intalox-saddle, Rasching-ring, Pall-ring 등의 재래적 충전물은 압력손실과 물질전달, 에너지 절약 및 효율성이 좋은 격자형 충전물의 개발로 인하여 점점 사용이 감소되고 있는 추세이며, 최근에는 합성수지로 제조된 충전물 NSW-ring, Hiflow-ring, Envi-pac 등은 실험 결과에 의해서 재래적인 충전물 Raschig-ring과 Pall-ring보다 높은 상대적인 공간체적과 충전높이에 따른 낮은 압력손실과 함께 높은 부하 한계치에 대하여 효율적이고 가벼운 분리작용에 의한 수력학적 특성이 증명되어졌다. 격자형 충전물이 산업에 적용되기 위해서는 압력손실과 액체함량, 부하 한계치 가스상 또는 액상 물질전달의 특성을 규명하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가수와 액체의 역류흐름에 의한 수력학적 특성과 물질전달 실험결과를 나타내었다.

  • Kojima Lake in Okayama prefecture is a freshing reservoir constructed adjacent to the oldest reclaimed land in Japan. This lake has a serious water quality problem because two urban rivers are flowing into it. In the present study, unsupervised classification was performed at intervals of several years using Landsat MSS data in the past 15 years. After geometric correction of these data, MSS data corresponding geographically to the field observation data were extracted and subjected to the multivariate analysis. Water quality distribution in the lake was estimated using the regression equation obtained as a result. In addition, two - dimensional and three-dimensional numerical simulations were performed and compared with the distribution obtained from the satellite images. Behavior of the reservoir flows is complicated and water quality distribution varies greatly with the flows. Here, I report the results of analysis on three factors, field observation, numerical simulation and satellite images.

  • Increase in Earth's surface temperature, higher rainfall intensity rate, and rapid changes in land cover are just some of the most evident effects of climate change. Flooding, and river sedimentation are two inevitable natural processes in our environment, and both issues poses great risks in the dam industry when not addressed properly. River sedimentation is a significant issue that causes reservoir deposition, and thus causes the dam to gradually lose its ability to store water. In this study, the long-term effects of climate change on the sediment discharge in Yongdam Dam watershed is analyzed through the utilization of SWAT, a semi-distributed watershed model. Based from the results of this study, an abrupt increase on the annual sediment inflow trend in Yongdam Dam watershed was observed; which may suggests that due to the effects of climate change, higher rainfall intensity, land use and land cover changes, the sedimentation rate also increased. An efficient sedimentation management should consider the increasing trend in sedimentation rate due to the effects of climate change.
