The formulas for estimating the constants of storage function model including K and TL for runoff analysis and a distributed storage function model are discussed in this study. First, the relations between parameters of the storage function model and the kinematic runoff model are theoretically examined, and then optimum constants of storage function model are obtained by the Standardized Davidson-Fletcher-Powell (SDFP) method. Through this analysis, theoretical formulas were obtained as $K = 0.63 {\alpha} KsB{^0.6}$ and $T_{L}=0.11 {\alpha} KsB{^0.6} r{^0.4} {_e}$, which are difficult to use practically because of the unclarified definition of shape factors. From a practical point of view, empirical formula were derived as $K=15.6{^0.3} {_m}$ and $T_{L}=2.1B{^0.36} {_m} {_e}/r{^0.4} {_e}$ for applied watersheds. The proposed formulas are verified for several recoded floods at a few points of watersheds. It is also found that the distributed storage function. can be applied to flood runoff analysis using the new formulas aboved mentioned.

The ability to calculate aerodynamic heating and surface temperature is essential to ensure proper design of aircraft components in high speed flight. In this study, various empirical formulas for efficiently calculating aerodynamic heating of aircraft were first analyzed. A simple computational code based on empirical formulas was developed and then compared with commercial codes; ANSYS FLUENT based on the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equation, and ThermoAnalytics MUSES based on an empirical formula. The code was found to agree well with the results of FLUENT in the wall and stagnation point temperatures. It also showed excellent agreement with MUSES, within 1% and 5% in temperature and heat flux, respectively.

This study is aimed at formulating an empirical equation for the across-wind fluctuating moment and spectral density coefficient, which are needed to estimate the across-wind dynamic responses of tall buildings, as a function of the side ratios of buildings. In order to estimate an empirical formula, wind tunnel tests were conducted on aero-elastic models of the rectangular prisms with various aspect and side ratios in turbulent boundary layer flows. In this paper, criteria for the across-wind fluctuating moment and spectral density are briefly discussed and the results are analyzed mainly as a function of the side ratios of the buildings. Finally, empirical formulas for the across-wind fluctuating moment coefficient and spectral density coefficient according to variation of the aspect ratio are proposed.

Ship squat is a well known phenomenon, which means an additional sinkage and a change of trim when a ship sails in shallow water. As a series of ship squat study, a HPMM(Horizontal Planar Motion Mechanism) test of KVLCC2 model ship to measure a sinkage and a trim in shallow water was conducted. Additionally a CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis was carried out to simulate fluid flows around the ship surface. A change in ship speed, drift angle at three depth conditions(H/T = 1.2, 1.5 & 2.0) is considered for comparing these results. As a result, an increase of the ship speed and the drift angle caused an increase in ship squat in EFD(Experimental Fluid Dynamics), and created a lower pressure on the ship bottom area in CFD. Lastly the sinkage results of KVLCC2 by EFD and CFD are compared to results by three empirical formulas. The tendency of sinkage by EFD and CFD is similar to the results of empirical formulas.

This study was carried out to examine the prediction of ship's manoeuvrability in initial design stage. New parameter representing basic hull form and stem shape were proposed. Captive model test were carried out to investigate the correlation coefficient between hydrodynamic coefficient and hull parameter. The results showed which parameter are positive correlation with hydrodynamic coefficient. Moreover correlation was examined between stem hull shape and ship's manoeuvrability. New empirical formulas for hydrodynamic coefficients were proposed These results can be used to predict a ship's manoeuvrability in initial design stage.

In this study, a new empirical method is presented to obtain Dynamic Increase Factor (DIF) in nonlinear static analysis of structures against sudden removal of a gravity load-bearing element. In this method, DIF is defined as a function of minimum ratio of difference between maximum moment capacity ($M_u$) and moment demand ($M_d$) to plastic moment capacity ($M_p$) under unamplified gravity loads of elements. This function determines the residual strength of a damaged building before amplified gravity loads. For each column removal location, a nonlinear dynamic analysis and a step-by-step nonlinear static analysis are carried out and the modified empirical DIF formulas are derived, which correspond to the ratio min $[(M_u-M_d)/M_p]$ of beams in the bays immediately adjacent to the removed column, and at all floors above it. Therefore, the new DIF can be used with nonlinear static analysis instead of nonlinear dynamic analysis to assess the progressive collapse potential of a moment frame structure. The proposed DIF formulas can estimate the real residual strength of a structure based on critical member.

Various factors are investigated on the bed load transport driven by waves and current, and proper forms of bed load transport formulas mainly used in river hydraulics are chosen for the estimation of combined flow bed load transport after considering the additional factors. The BYO Model is employed for the computation of maximum bed shear stress and mean bed shear stress of the combined flow. The friction factor of uni-directional flow is estimated by using modified Keulegan equation, and equivalent roughness height is determined by obtaining correct answer for the bed shear stress of uni-directional flow. Empirical constant in each bed load formula is determined by applying it to Bijker's laboratory data of bed load transport by waves and current and the formulas obtained are discussed on their final forms with the values of empirical constants.

When a ship sails in shallow water, it is well known that an additional sinkage and trim of the ship(squat) is caused by change of hydrodynamic force between the seabed and the bottom of a ship. In this paper, to examine this phenomenon by model tests, the squat of KCS model ship at a low speed is measured by the vision based ship motion measurement system during HPMM tests. Various combinations of a ship speed, a rudder angle and a drift angle were tested at three depth conditions(H/T = 1.2, 1.5 & 2.0). As a result, increase of the ship's speed and ship's drift angle caused an increase in ship squat, but the ship's rudder angle did not. The rate of increase in ship squat was the most at H/T = 1.2 condition. Lastly these experimental results are compared to the results by three empirical formulas and two CFD methods. The tendency of ship squat measured by experiment is similar to those of empirical formulas.

The ice-resistance estimation technique for icebreaking ships had been studied intensively over recent years to meet the needs of designing Arctic vessels. Before testing in the ice model basin, the estimation of a ship's ice resistance with high reliability is very important to decide the delivered power necessary for level ice operation. The main idea of previous studies came from several empirical formulas, such as Poznyak and Ionov (1981), Enkvist (1972) and Shimansky (1938) methods, in which ice resistance components such as icebreaking, buoyancy and clearing resistances were represented by the integral equations along the Design Load Water Line (DLWL). The current study proposes a few modified methods not only considering the DLWL shape, but also the hull shape under the DLWL. In the proposed methodology, the DLWL shape for icebreaking resistance and the hull shape under the DLWL for buoyancy and clearing resistances can be directly considered in the calculation. Especially, when calculating clearing resistance, the flow pattern of ice particles under the DLWL of ship is assumed to be in accordance with the ice flow observed during ice model testing. This paper also deals with application examples for a few ship designs and its ice model testing programs at the AARC ice model basin. From the comparison of results of the model test and the estimation, the reliability of this estimation technique has been discussed.
