  • 국내외 기상이변으로 인한 하천허용유량의 초과가 많이 일어나고 있다. 이때 사람이 직접 도섭으로 하천의 정보 대한 정보를 취득하기 어렵기 때문에 간접적인 방법으로의 정보취득이 중요시 되어야 한다. 그에 따른 방법으로 주입식의 표면부자를 활용한 방법이나, PIV 기법을 활용한 표면영상유속계측법을 이용한 유속측정방법 등이 있다. 하지만 이런 표면영상유속계측법은 영상의 변위가 커지게 되어 시간간격 설정에 대한 어려움 등이 있고, 표면부자법의 경우 표면 유속을 대변 할 수 있을지에 대한 분석연구가 필요하다. 따라서 이러한 표면 영상 유속계측법과 표면부자의 수표면 유속 측정 능력 등을 분석하여 GPS 전자부자의 활용성을 확인해 보고자 하였다. Lab-Scale 수로에서 GPS전자부자를 입자로 활용하여 주입 후 흘러가는 부분을 영상촬영하고, LS-PIV 기법을 활용하여 분석한 후 검증이 된 전자유속계 (FlowTracker)의 데이터를 참값으로 비교 분석하였다. LS-PIV 기법을 통해서 GPS 전자부자의 표면 유속 측정 능력을 잘 검증해낸다면, 유속측정에 용이하고 접근성 및 안정성까지 확보할 수 있다. 더 나아가 홍수 시 사용뿐만 아니라, ADCP나 ADV로 측정이 불가능한 저수심·저유속의 중소하천에서도 적용할 수 있다. GPS전자부자의 지속적인 연구는 향후 하천 측정 시스템에 많은 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.

  • This study aims to determine the sunlight exposure according to depositional environment to improve the accuracy of optically simulated luminescence (OSL) dating. Sufficient sunlight exposure during transportation of sediment is a basic assumption of the OSL dating, and if the process does not occur enough, the results may be overestimated compared to the actual depositional age. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to establish a correction method by determining residual or unbleachable dose after sunlight exposure in the actual deposition process, not in the laboratory measurement. Four samples from two sites were collected according to the depositional environment from rivers and coasts, and various OSL signals, including the size of residual dose, degree of dispersion between grains, and OSL signal sensitivity, were measured. As a result, it was confirmed that sediments formed under temporarily high energy environments, such as floods and surges, had relatively high residual dose or large dispersion of residual dose between particles. In further studies, the OSL signal characteristics of river sediments by flow velocity will be identified and the relationship between energy and OSL signal characteristics will be identified in more detail. Moreover, a method of reconstructing the paleo-environment at the time of deposition for existing sediments will be devised. It is expected to provide important information for the frequency of disaster recurrence and prediction of future climate change.

  • A small hydro-power plant operated by cooling water discharged from the power plant is under construction. In this study, the flow characteristics of the effluent channel and the outfall coastal zone in which the facilities are constructed have been measured and analysed. The flow pattern is highly dependent on the effluent discharge and clearly classified as these typical areas; the upstream and downstream areas of the weir, and the outfall coastal zone. The discharge and the width of the channel in the upstream area of the weir are increased step by step, so the water level fluctuation is small. The flow overtopping the weir is rapidly changing and has highly vertical fluctuation patterns after hydraulic jump just below the weir. The flow pattern in the outfall zone is directed toward the seaward direction and the velocity is dominated by the tidal level fluctuation. The mean tidal range in this area is about 10% greater than that of the Tongyeong tidal gauging station and the wave effects are negligible because of the sheltering effects of this area.

  • Surface Image Velocimetry (SIV) is an instrument to measure water surface velocity by using image processing techniques. To improve its measuring accuracy, it is essential to get high quality images with low skewness. A truck-mounted SIV system would be a good way to get images, since its crane gives high altitude to the images. However, the images taken with a truck-mounted SIV would be swayed due to the movement of crane and the camera by winds. In that case, to analyze the images, it is necessary to compensate the side sway in the images. The present study is to develop an algorithm to analyze the swayed images by combining common image processing techniques and coordinate transform techniques. The system follows the traces of some selected fixed points and calculates the displacements of the video camera. By subtracting the average velocity of the fixed points from that of grid points, the velocity fields of the flow can be corrected. To evaluate the system's performance, two image sets were used, one image set without side sway and another set with side sway. The comparison of their results showed very close with the error of around 6 %.

  • The flow characteristics around KRISO 3600TEU container ship model have been experimentally investigated in a circulating water channel. The instantaneous velocity vectors were measured using 2-frame PIV measurement system. The mean velocity fields and turbulent statistics including turbulent kinetic energy and vorticity were obtained by ensemble-averaging 400 instantaneous velocity fields. The free stream velocity was fixed at 0.6m/s and the corresponding Reynolds number was $9{\times}10^5$. The test sections were divided into two regions, three transverse sections of the wake region(Station -0.5767, -1, -3) and five longitudinal sections of the wake((Z/(B/2)=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6). In the wake region, large-scale longitudinal vortices of nearly same strength are symmetric with respect to the wake centerline and a relatively weak secondary vortex is formed near the waterline. With going downstream, the strength of longitudinal vortex is decreased and the wake region expands.

  • Soil particles from rainfall flow into reservoir and give lots of influence in water quality because the Even though techniques related with computer and communications are growing rapidly, it is true that efforts for hydrological survey and the management of its results have not been made enough to make use of the state-of-the-art technologies. Among the water-related techniques, measurement of river discharge is the most important one because these data are basic to almost every field of the hydrological science. In this research, a large-scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) unit has been designed and constructed to measure river discharge effectively In field conditions. Measured data using this unit is compared with the results recorded by the microwave water surface current meter (MWSCM) at the same location. The purpose of this research is to propagate the feasibility of using the MWSCM for river discharge velocimetry.

  • Hyundai Motor Group(HMG) carried out experimental investigation of sunroof buffeting phenomena on a simplified car model called Hyundai simplified model(HSM). HMG invited participation from commercial CFD vendors to perform numerical investigation of sunroof buffeting for HSM model with a goal to determine whether CFD can predict sunroof buffeting behavior to sufficient accuracy. ANSYS Korea participated in this investigation and performed numerical simulations of sunroof buffeting for HSM using ANSYS fluent, the general purpose CFD code. First, a flow field validation is performed using closed sunroof HSM model for 60 km/h wind speed. The velocity profiles at three locations on the top surface of HSM model are predicted and compared with experimental measurement. Then, numerical simulations for buffeting are performed over range of wind speeds, using advanced scale resolving turbulence model in the form of detached eddy simulation (DES). Buffeting frequency and buffeting level are predicted in simulation and compared with experimental measurement. With reference to comparison between experimental measurements with CFD predictions of buffeting frequency and level, conclusion are drawn about predictive capabilities of CFD for real vehicle development.

  • Dissolved air flotation (OAF) is a solid-liquid separation system that uses fine bubbles rising from bottom to remove particles in water. In this study, we investigated the effect of L/W (L; Length, W; Width) on the hydro-dynamic behavior in DAF system using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry) technique. The factual full-scale DAF system, L/W ratio of 1:1, was selected and various L/W ratio (2:1, 3:1, 4:1 and 5:1) conditions were simulated with CFD. For modelling, 2-phase (gas-liquid) flow equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and turbulence quantities were solved using an Eulerian-Eulerian approach based on the assumption that very small particle is applied in the DAF system. Also, for verification of CFD simulation results, we measured the factual velocity at some points in the full-scale DAF system with ADV technique. Both the simulation and the measurement results were in good accordance with each other. As the results of this study, we concluded that L/W ratio and outlet geometry play important role for flow pattern and fine bubble distribution in the flotation zone. In the ratio of 1:1, the dead zone is less than those in other cases. On the other hands, in the ration of 3:1, the fine bubbles were more evenly distributed.

  • The wakes of a cylindrical body have been investigated. The cylindrical body was attached with a thin film. The film is made of silicon with configurations of 50mm(W) ${\times}$ 150mm(L) ${\times}$ 0.3mm(T). The cylinder wakes have been measured with PIV experiments under the conditions with and without the thin film. The diameter of the installed cylinder body is 30mm and the Reynolds numbers are 2730, 6160 and 9750 with the diameter. The measurement system consists of an Ar-ion laser(6W), a high speed camera(1024 ${\times}$ 992 pixel, 500fps) and a host computer. FFT analyses have been carried out using the velocity vectors obtained by PIV measurements at the point X/D=1.52 and Z/D=0.52. For understanding the three-dimensional flow structures, a new Volumetric PTV(particle tracking velocimetry) has been constructed, in which the same four high-resolution cameras have been used. It has been verified that the flexible film suppresses or damps the vortices separated from the cylinder body, which makes the cylinder's wakes stable. With increase of Re numbers the intensity of the dominant frequency of the wakes become smaller.

  • This study is experimentally analyzed to extract the major parameters affecting the performance of the smoke-control system and the relations of pressure difference between vestibule and supply air pressure zone effect of supply mass flow rate and leakage area in the smoke-control zone. To obtain this, the mock-up building of three-story scale with a total of 10 compartments was constructed, and several apparatus were also installed for in-situ measurement of the ventilation flow rate, pressure difference between compartments, smoke defensive air velocity, the opening-closing force of door, etc. This article show that pressure difference in the smoke-control zone is significantly related with leakage area of vestibule in low pressure region, leakage area of supply air pressure in over pressure region and both of them in pressure control region when the pressure control range of damper is 45 Pa~55 Pa.
