During the summer season, more than half of the annual precipitation in Korea occurs during the summer season due to the geographical location in the Asian monsoon belt. So, this causes severe soil erosion from croplands, which is directly linked to the deterioration of crop/land productivity and surface water quality. Therefore, much attention has been given to develop accurate estimation tools of soil erosion. The aim of this study is to assess the performance of using the empirical Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the physical-based model of the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) to quantify eroded amount of soil from agricultural fields. Input data files, including climate, soil, slope, and cropping management, were modified to fit into Korean conditions. Chuncheon (forest) and Jeonju (level-plain) were selected as two Korean cities with different topographic characteristics for model analysis. The results of this current study indicated that better soil erosion prediction can be achieved using the WEPP model since it has better power to illustrate a higher degree of spatial variability than USLE in topography, precipitation, soils, and crop management practices. These present findings are expected to contribute to the development of the environmental assessment program as well as the conservation of the agricultural environment in Korea.

최근 기후변화의 영향으로 단기간동안 높은 강우강도의 집중호우 빈도가 증가하고 있어 토양침식의 위험도가 증가할 것으로 보고 있다. 국내에서 적용하고 있는 토양침식 산정기법은 유역에서 발생하는 연 평균 토양침식을 예측하고 단기간에 발생하는 특별한 호우사상의 특징을 고려하여 침식을 예측하는 데 한계를 지니고 있다. 따라서 단기간에 발생하는 토양침식을 보다 합리적으로 해석하기 위해서는 단기 호우사상의 특징을 반영하고 침식과정을 물리적으로 해석할 수 있는 모형을 적용할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 단기호우사상에 의한 토양침식을 산정하기 위하여 강우강도별 강우입자분포자료를 수집하였고 확률밀도함수를 적용하여 멱함수 형태의 강우운동에너지 산정공식을 제안하였다. 제안한 강우에너지 산정공식을 물리적 기반의 토양침식 모델에 적용하여 천천유역에서 발생한 2002년 2003년, 2007년 태풍 호우사상에 적용하였다. 그 결과, NSE는 0.036 증가하였고 RMSE는 4.995 ppm 감소한 결과를 보여 제안된 강우에너지 산정공식을 적용한 모형이 단기호우사상에 의한 유사유출을 잘 모의하는 것으로 나타났다.

기후변화에 의해 집중호우의 빈도 및 강도가 증가하고 지속적인 유역개발에 따른 토지이용의 증가는 토양침식 및 토사유출로 인한 재해 및 환경문제를 야기한다. 현재 광범위하게 사용되고 있는 토양침식량 산정기법은 대부분 대상유역내의 평균 토양침식량을 산출하는 총량적 개념의 경험식이므로 호우기간동안의 침식 및 퇴적의 시 공간적 변화양상을 모의할 수 없다는 한계를 지니고 있다. 따라서 보다 합리적인 유역규모의 강우-유사-유출 메카니즘 해석을 위해서는 기존의 집중형 모의기법을 대체하고 다양한 기상학적/지형학적 정보를 활용할 수 있는 물리적 기반의 분포형 모형이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 사면의 지표 및 지표하 흐름을 고려한 유출모의 모듈과 단위수류력 이론을 기반으로 하는 유사유출 모의모듈을 결합한 분포형 강우-유사-유출 모형을 확장개발하고, 용담댐 상류부의 천천유역에 적용하여 모형의 재현성 평가를 수행하였다. 수문곡선의 모의 결과 모형의 재현성은 우수하였으며, 유사량곡선의 경우 첨두부분에서 과소선정되는 경향이 나타났다. 또한, 지표면 유동거리 및 국부경사에 따른 침식 및 퇴적의 공간분포를 분석한 결과, 침식된 토사는 비교적 경사가 완만한 하천주변에 퇴적되었으며, 강우량과 침식 및 퇴적의 공간분포의 분석결과, 강우량의 증가에 따라 침식량이 증가하였으며, Thiessen망 유역별로 침식 및 퇴적 분포는 상이하게 나타났다.

In the present study, a method of performing cavitation erosion test directly on the anodized surface of the rudder model is proposed, not applying ink or paint on its surface. An image processing technique is newly developed to quantitatively evaluate the erosion damages on the rudder model surface after erosion test. The preprocessing saturation image, image smoothing, adaptive hysteresis thresholding and eroded area detection algorithms are in the image processing program. The rudder cavitation erosion tests are conducted in the rudder deflection angle range of 0° to -4°, which is used to maintain a straight course at the highest speed of the targeted navy ship. In the case of the conventional flat-type full-spade rudder currently being used in the target ship, surface erosion can occur on the model rudder surface in the above rudder deflection angle range. The bubble type of cavitation occurs on rudder surface, which is estimated to be the main reason of erosion damage on the rudder surface.

This study was performed to suggest a soil loss reduction skill through estimating soil erosion from a small watershed including each type of sloping agriland by using GEOWEPP model. Experimental watershed at Gangwon province was selected for very typical sloping fields of highland agriculture in Alpine area. Runoff discharge and sediment load, hourly rainfall amount occurred during storm event were gauged, and weather data were obtained from Daegwallyeong meteorological station. The results of GEOWEPP model estimation showed that relative error values for total runoff discharge and sediment load were 3 %, -14.5 % respectively. Based on the result, soil erosion and waterway path map for each hillslope were made to select target hillslope. Several hillslopes of severe soil erosion were analyezed and then the optimal vegetative filter strip construction width and waterway path to plant grass were decided by using GEOWEPP Model.

In 2013, the Ministry of Environment in South Korea promulgated a new regulatory bulletin that contained revised enforcement ordinance on soil management protocols. The bulletin recommends the use of Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) for the soil erosion estimation, but USLE has limited applicability in prediction of soil erosion because it does not allow direct estimation of actual mass of soil erosion. Therefore, there is a great need of revising the protocol to allow direct comparison between the measured and estimated values of soil erosion. The Korean Soil Loss Equation (KORSLE) was developed recently and used to estimate soil loss in two fields as an alternative to existing USLE model. KORSLE was applied to estimate monthly rainfall erosivity indices as well as temporal variation in potential soil loss. The estimated potential soil loss by KORSLE was adjusted with correction factor for direct comparison with measured soil erosion. The result was reasonable since Nash-Stucliff efficiency were 0.8020 in calibration and 0.5089 in validation. The results suggest that KORSLE is an appropriate model as an alternative to USLE to predict soil erosion at field scale.

A grid-based KIneMatic wave soil-water EROsion and deposition Model (KIMEROM) that predicts temporal variation and spatial distribution of sediment transport in a watershed was developed. This model uses ASCII-formatted map data supported from the regular gridded map of GRASS (U.S. Army CERL, 1993)-GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and generates the distributed results by ASCIIl-formatted map data. For hydrologic process, the kinematic wave equation and Darcy equation were used to simulate surface and subsurface flow, respectively (Kim, 1798; Kim et al., 1993). For soil erosion process, the physically-based soil erosion concept by Rose and Hairsine (1988) was used to simulate soil-water erosion and deposition. The model adopts sing1e overland flowpath algorithm and simulates surface and subsurface water depth, and sediment concentration at each grid element (or a given time increment. The model was tested to a 162.3 km$^2$ watershed located in the tideland reclaimed area of South Korea. After the hydrologic calibration for two storm events in 1999, the results of sediment transport were presented for the same storm events. The results of temporal variation and spatial distribution of overland flow and sediment areas are shown using GRASS.

Soil erosion has been issued in many countries since it causes negative impacts on ecosystem at the receiving water bodies. Therefore best management practices to resolve the problem in a watershed have been developed and implemented. As a prior process, there is a need to define soil erosion level and to identify the area of concern regarding soil erosion so that the practices are effective as they are designed. Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) were developed to estimate potential soil erosion and many Geographic Information System (GIS) models employ USLE to estimate soil erosion. Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) is one of the models, the model provided several opportunities to consider various watershed peculiarities such as breaking of slope length, monthly variation of rainfall, crop growth at agricultural fields, etc. SATEEC is useful to estimate soil erosion, however the model can be implemented with ArcView software that is no longer used or hard to use currently. Therefore SATEEC based on ArcView was rebuild for the ArcGIS software with all modules provided at the previous version. The rebuilt SATEEC, ArcSATEEC, was programmed in ArcPy and works as ArcGIS Toolset and allows considering monthly variations of rainfall and crop growth at any watershed in South-Korea. ArcSATEEC was applied in Daecheong-dam watershed in this study, monthly soil erosion was estimated with monthly rainfall and crop growth variation. Annual soil erosion was computed by summing monthly soil erosion and was compared to the conventional approach to estimate annual soil erosion. The annual soil erosion estimated by the conventional approach and by summing monthly approach did not display much differences, however, ArcSATEEC was capable to provide monthly variation of soil erosion.

강우나 물의 유출에 의한 토양침식은 농업 생산성을 떨어뜨리고 목초지를 손상시키며, 물의 흐름을 방해하는 등의 각종 환경적인 문제를 야기시키고 있다. 환경에 대한 관심이 고조되는 시점에서 토양침식이 매우 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있지만 아직은 체계적인 자료의 정리와 분석이 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 최근 부각되고 있는 GSIS를 활용하여 토양침식을 예측하는 모형에 입력되는 인자를 추출하는 기법을 제시하는 것으로 침식모형에는 ANSWER, WEPP RUSLE 등 여러 가지가 있으나 본 연구에서는 GSIS 자료와의 연계가 용이하면서 유역에 대한 일반적인 토양침식을 예측할 수 있는 RUSLE 침식모형을 사용하였다. RUSLE 입력인자에는 강우침식인자 R, 토양침식인자 K, 침식사면의 길이인자 L, 침식사면의 경사인자 S, 식생피복인자 C 그리고 경작인자 P로 구성되어 있다. RUSLE 입력인자 중 L과 S인자 추출에 사용되었던 기존의 식은 대부분 농업지역에 적용된 식으로 유역에 적용시 한계가 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 GSIS 자료를 통해 격자별로 유역에 적용 가능한 수정된 경험식을 활용하였다. 또한 격자형 RUSLE인자를 유역추출 알고리즘을 이용하여 유역별로 분석함으로서 유역별 RUSLE인자의 최소값, 최대값, 평균 그리고 표준편차를 계산할 수 있었다.

Accumulation of coal ash at the boiler wall reduces combustion and fuel efficiency. The design of a wall blower is important to effectively remove coal ash. We present numerical results for the removal of coal ash from boiler walls of domestic coal-fired power plants, associated with the computational fluid dynamics for the flow from spray nozzle to boiler wall. The numerical model simulates an erosion process in which the multiphase fluid comprising saturated vapor and fluid water is sprayed from the nozzle, and the water particles impact the boiler wall. We adopt the Finnie erosion model for water particles. We obtain the erosion rate density as a function of nozzle angle and its injection angle. As excessive coal ash removal usually induces damage to the boiler wall, the removal operation typically focuses on a large area with uniform depth rather than the maximum removal of coal ash at a specific location. In order to estimate the removal performance of the wall blower nozzle considering several functionality and reliability factors, we evaluate the optimal injection and nozzle angles with respect to the biggest cumulative and highest erosion rates, as well as the widest range and lowest standard deviation of the erosion rate distribution.
