하수관거는 장기간 사용에 의해 오염물질 퇴적 현상이 발생하여 관거 유하능력의 기능을 상실하게 되는 문제점이 발생한다. 관내 오염물질 제거 방법 중 관거 Flushing 방법을 적용하였을 경우, 유입유량, 유입시간, 관경사 변화에 따른 유속 및 수위 변화를 분석하여 하수관거 내 부유물질의 퇴적을 방지하기 위한 최소유속기준을 만족하는 관거 유하 길이를 분석하고자 한다. 관거 내의 수리학적 거동을 분석하기 위해서 SWMM 및 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하여 관거 내 수리학적 거동 현상을 분석하였다. 또한 모형의 적용성을 검증하기 위해서 수리모형실험 자료를 이용하였다. $5\;{\textperthousand}$ 관경사에 대하여 유입유량 $0.16\;m^3/min$을 3 분 동안 Flushing 하였을 경우 최대유속은 0.58 m/s로 최소유속 0.6 m/s를 만족하는 관의 누가거리는 확보할 수 없는 것으로 모의되었다. 또한 관경사가 증가함에 따라서 최대유속 및 최대유량도 증가함을 보여주고 있다. 이와 같은 분석을 통해 관 내 부유물질의 퇴적을 방지하기 위해 Flushing 방법을 수행하였을 경우, 보다 효과적이며 경제적으로 Flushing 방법을 수행할 수는 설계 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Recently, due to the deterioration of watermains and the detachment of scale which is accumulated on the watermain surface, water quality accidents in a water supply network occur frequently. As scale accumulated on watermains is stabilized, it may not cause water quality accidents under the normal operating condition. However, due to water hammer or transient flow caused by the abrupt velocity and/or direction of flow change, it can be detached from the watermain surface resulting in water quality accidents. To prevent these kinds of water quality accidents, it is required to remove scale by watermain cleaning regularly. Many researches about flushing which is the most popular water cleaning method are focused on the desirable velocity criteria and the cleaning condition to accomplish the effect of flushing whereas less amount of research effort is given to develop a method to consider whether the desirable velocity for flushing can be obtained before flushing is performed. During flushing, the major and minor headloss is occurred when flushing water flows through a hydrant or drain valve. These headloss may slow down the velocity of flushing water so that it can reduce the flushing effect. Thus, in this study, we suggest a method to simulate the flow velocity of flushing water using "MinorLoss Coefficient" and "Emitter Coefficient" in EPANET. The suggested method is applied to a sample network and the water supply network of "A" city in Korea to compare the flushing effect between "flushing through a hydrant" and "flushing through a drain valve". In case of "flushing through a hydrant", if the hydraulic condition ocurring from a watermain pipe connecting to the inlet pipe of a hydrant to the outlet of a hydrant is not considered, the actual flowrate and velocity of a flow is less than the simulated flowrate and velocity of a flow. In case of "flushing through a drain valve", the flushing velocity and flowrate can be easily simulated and the difference between the simulated and the actual velocity and flowrate is not significant. Also, "flushing through a drain valve" is very effective to flushing a long-length pipe section because of its efficiency to obtain the flushing velocity. However, the number and location of a drain valve is limited compared to a hydrant so that "flushing through a drain valve" has a limited application in the field. For this reason, the engineer should consider various field conditions to come up with a proper flushing plan.

A comparative study on the two techniques of uterine flushing in superovulated sheep was conducted. The first method was carried out by flushing of the horn through a Foley catheter inserted into the uterine horn (method I ). The second method involved flushing of the horn with the medium injected into uterine tip nea. the utero-tubal junction through a Foley catheter inserted into uterine horn(method II). Superovulation was carried out on day 8 of the estrous cycle by a FSH-PG method. Ova were flushed on 6 or 7 days after mating. The recovery rates in methods I and II were 68.0%(51/75) and 43.6%(17/39), respectively(p<0.05). It indicated that method I is effective technique for flushing of the sheep ova from the uterus.

Micro EDM(Electric Discharge Machining) is one of the most powerful technologies which are capable of fabricating micro-structure without any problems from high cutting force. However, there is a significant defect in the part machining with deep holes or pockets, because debris which are generated by electric discharging may frequently cause a short circuit between an electrode and workpiece material. Vibration flushing can reduce the undesirable phenomena with dynamic flow of EDM fluid in a deep and choked area. In this study, Vibration flushing with solenoid is suggested and the results show that the method can generate a remarkable EDM efficiency with high amplitude at a low frequency in comparison with current vibration flushing methods with high frequency using piezo actuators.

Recently as algae phenomenon has been intensified, the need for additional dam flushing has been raised. To establish the more rational policies concerning the dam flushing, it is necessary to evaluate the dam flushing. This paper attempts to examine households' willingness to pay (WTP) for dam flushing by using a contingent valuation (CV). Especially, unlike other CV studies which used maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), this study employed Bayesian approach. This study surveyed a randomly selected sample of 1,000 households nation-widely, and asked respondents questions in person-to-person interviews about how they would be willing to pay for the additional dam flushing. Respondents overall accepted the contingent market and were willing to contribute a significant amount (1,909.4 won), on average, per household per year. The aggregate value amounts to approximately 35.7 billion won per year.

현대사회로 들어오면서 과거와 달리 외부에 있던 화장실이 내부로 들어오면서 변기 뚜껑을 닫지 않고 toilet flushing을 할 때 배변에 포함된 다량의 장티푸스, 포도상 구균 같은 종류의 세균이 화장실 곳곳에 퍼짐에 의하여 면역력이 약한 경우 여러 가지 세균성 질환 및 2차 감염을 통하여 장티푸스 및 피부 질환 등이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이런 감염을 최소화하기 위한 방법으로 플라즈마를 이용한 세변기 표면의 오염 방지처리 기술을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다. 일차적으로 여러 가지 운용 조건에서 오염의 정도를 파악하고자 배변의 양에 따라 toilet flushing 시 피부 오염의 물질 노출 정도를 평가 하였다. 실험 방법은 배변을 모사하여 toilet system에 넣고 물을 내려 무게에 따른 물 튀김 정도와 위치 분포를 분석하였다. 밀가루 반죽의 무게가 증가하면서 피부에 닿는 물 튀김 면적이 특정 무게에서 최대 60.02 mm2까지 증가하다 감소했다. 또한 실제 측정 결과를 통하여 물 튀김의 분포가 뒤쪽에 집중되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이와 같이 실제 toilet flushing시 세균에 의하여 피부 오염 및 국부 감염이 발생할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 비데 동작 시 변기 내부에 잔존하는 세균 자체가 확산되는 정도를 3차원 유체 역학 모델링으로 예측하였다. 앞으로 세변기 뚜껑의 플라즈마 표면처리 및 toilet flushing 유로 디자인 개선을 통해 세균의 잔류 및 퍼짐을 최소화함으로써 최종적으로 세균성 질환을 줄일 수 있는 방법을 개발하는 것이 본 연구의 1단계 목표다.

The solvent flushing apparatus for soil remediation was designed. After the soil around nuclear facilities was sampled and compulsorily contaminated by Co, the characteristics remediated by solvent flushing were analyzed. Meanwhile, the nonequilibrium sorption code was developed for modelling of the soil remediation by solvent flushing, input parameters needed for modelling were measured by laboratory experiment. Experimental results are as follows : The soil around nuclear facilities belongs to Silt Loam including a lot of silt and sand. When water was used as a solvent, the higher was the hydraulic conductivity. the higher the efficiency of soil remediation was. The values calculated by the nonequilibrium sorption code agreed with experimental values more exactly than the values calculated by the equilibrium sorption code. When EDTA solution was used as a solvent. the soil remediation efficiency by EDTA solution showed higher than that by water.

The purpose of this study was to model the effect of flushing discharge on algae removal by multi-purpose weir operation in Yeongsan River (Seungchon Weir) using a 3-dimensional (3D) model. The chlorophyceae Eudorina sp. formed bloom in May 2013. Flushing discharge was conducted in two different ways for algal bloom reduction. To elucidate the spatial variability, a high-resolution 3D model, ELCOM-CAEDYM, was used to simulate the spatial variations of water quality and chl-a over a month. The results showed that ELCOM-CAEDYM could reproduce highly spatially resolved field data at low cost, and showed very good performance in simulating the pattern of algal bloom occurrence. The effect of each flushing discharge operation was analyzed with the results of modeling. The results of case 1, flushing discharge using an open movable weir, showed that the algal bloom between the Seochang Bridge and the Hwangryong River junction is rapidly flushed after operating the movable weir, but the residual algae remained in the weir pool as the discharge decreased. However, the results of case 2, fixed weir overflow with a small hydropower stop, showed that most of the algae was removed after flushing discharge and the effect of algae removal was much bigger than that in case 1, as per modeling results and observed data.

We examined the mineralogical composition of pyrite-bearing rocks by quantitative powder X-ray diffraction analysis using the matrix-flushing method and ROCKJOCK (a full pattern fitting computer program). The neutralization potential (NP) and acid generating potential (AP) were calculated on the basis of mineralogical compositions. The mineralogical AP was compared with the conventional AP calculated from bulk sulfur concentration to assess the applicability to the prediction of acid rock drainage(ARD). The pyrite content calculated by matrix-flushing method showed a high positive correlation($r^2$=0.95) with those by ROCKJOCK. The pyrite contents by matrix-flushing method was 1.45 times larger than those by ROCKJOCK. The pyrite content and mineralogical AP obtained by the matrix-flushing method had a better correlation($r^2$=0.98) with those by the total sulfur concentrations in the all samples except KB sample. The mineralogical NPs of YJ sample were 23.0 and 34.0(kg $CaCO_3$ equivalent per tonne) by matrix-flushing method and ROCKJOCK, respectively. The AP calculated by matrix-flushing method and ROCKJOCK program were 47% and 72% of those by the conventional ABA test. We hereby suggested that the quantitative analysis using XRD data can be applied to prediction of ARD. For more reliable calculation of the mineralogical NP and AP, other sulfide and carbonate minerals such as pyrrhotite, dolomite, ankerite, siderite, rhodochrosite which can affact the mineralogical NP and AP should be considered.
