The behavior and mixing process of the forced plume are studied in the hydraulic laboratory. The dilution rate of discharged waste water from the port in various hydraulic condition was analized. The effect of densimetric Froude number and the discharge type on the dilution rate are discussed: In the vertical discharge, the forced plume of small densimetric Froude number mixes more actively than that of the large one. In the horizontal discharge, forced plume of large densimetric Froude number dilutes more rapidly than that of the small one. The mixing takes place more vigorously in the horizontal discharge than in the vertical one. The multi-port diffuser is more effective for the waste water discharge system than the single port diffuser in the tidal swinging coastal sea.

The hydraulics of flow within the covered reach of urban streams is very complicated due to the accumulation and interference effect of eddies around the multiple piers supporting the covering slab. An extensive experimental study is done to quantitatively estimate the backwater rise effect caused by various arrays of multiple piers. The factors governing the backwater rise are found out to be the contraction ratio due to the piers, Froude number of the flow, longitudinal pier spacing, and the length of the covered reach. For a single section of lateral pier arrays the effect of contraction ratio and Froude number on the backwater rise is analyzed and a multiple regression equation is derived. The effect of multiple piers, arrayed in both lateral and longitudinal directions, on the backwater rise is analyzed in terms of the contraction ratio, Froude number,longitudinal pier spacing and the total length of the covered reach. A multiple regression equation for the backwater rise estimation is proposed based on the experimental data collected in the present study.

A numerical simulation for 11 February 1996 has been done to grasp main mechanisms of the occurrence of strong downslope winds near Gangnung area. The simulation performed by using ARPS (Advanced Regional Prediction System) showed that enhanced surface winds were not related with a reflection of vertically propagating gravity waves. Froude numbers were about 1.0, 0.4 and 0.6 for the atmosphere above Daekwanryoung and above a place located 220km upstream, and above another place located 230km downstream from the Taebak mountains, respectively. This suggested that as a subcritical flow ascended the upslope side of the Taebak mountains, Froude numbers would tend to increase according to the increase in wind speed, and near the crest the flow would become supercritical and continue to accelerate as it went down the downslope side until it was adapted back to the ambient subcritical conditions in a turbulent hydraulic jump. Simulated Froude numbers corroborated the hydraulic jump nature of the strong downslope wind. In addition, the inversion was found near the mountain top height upstream of the mountains, and it was favorable for the occurrence of strong downslope winds.

In this study reduced-scale experiments were conducted to analyze smoke movement in tunnel fire with jet fan, The 1/20 scale experiments were carried out under the froude scaling using gasoline pool fire range from 6.6 to 12.5 cm in diameter with total heat release rate from 0.714 to 4.77 kW. In the case of fires under the 2.5kW, backlaying was reduced about 40cm and smoke was effectively controled in downstream of the fan when operating the fan. The smoke layer was moved down and the ceiling temperature was decreased compared to that of without fan case in upstream of the fan, but the temperature in the lower part of the tunnel was increased.

Suspension of a single solid particle in a channel flow with a constant pressure gradient is studied numerically. The interaction of a circular particle with a surrounding Newtonian fluid is formulated using a combined formulation. Numerical results are presented using two dimensionless variables: the sedimentation Reynolds number and the generalized Froude number. From the present results, it has been shown that a solid particle is suspended at a smaller generalized Froude number as the viscosity of the surrounding fluid increases. The time taken for equilibrium position is found to be smaller as fluid viscosity increases when both : the sedimentation Reynolds number and the generalized Froude number are the same while, at the same situation, the dimensionless time taken for equilibrium position is to be nearly the same regardless of fluid viscosity when a dimensionless time variable is introduced

In this study, reduced-scale experiments were conducted to analyze an effect of tunnel slope on critical velocity. The 1/20 scale experiments were carried out under the Froude scaling using ethanol pool fire. Square pools ranging from 2.47 to 12.30㎾ were used experiments. Critical velocity varied with one-fourth power of the heat release rate. As the slope of the tunnel increases the critical velocity comes to be fast due to the increase of the chimney effect.

홍수 시의 산지하천 만곡부는 2차류 발생과 편수위 상승에 따른 하상세굴 및 홍수범람 위험이 크다. 만곡부 외측에 주로 설치되어 있는 콘크리트 옹벽호안은 표면이 매끄러워 홍수피해를 가중 시킨다. 이러한 피해를 저감시키기 위해 콘크리트 옹벽에 돌출줄눈을 설치하여 유속조감 및 설치효과를 분석한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제안된 직사각형 단면의 돌출줄눈보다 내구성을 추구한 사다리꼴 단면의 돌출줄눈을 제시하여 수리모형 실험을 수행하였다. 수리모형 실험은 개수로 직선수로에서 수로경사 0.0035 조건에서 수로 출구 게이트를 조절하면서 이루어졌다. 모형 돌출줄눈의 조도높이는 3cm로 하였으며, 사다리꼴 밑각은 $45^{\circ}$로 완만한 경우이다. 설치간격은 무차원 돌출줄눈 간격을 기준으로 ?형 조도인 6으로 하였다. 돌출줄눈의 설치 유무에 따라 유량에 따른 수위를 측정하고 유속을 산정하여, 마찰저항의 변화를 파악하였다. 공급유량에 따른 Froude 수는 0.168~0.359 범위였으며, 유량이 증가에 따라 Manning의 조도계수는 감소하였다. Froude 수가 0.25보다 큰 경우 돌출줄눈설치의 조도계수가 미설치보다 큰 것으로 파악되었다. 그러나 사다리꼴 돌출줄눈의 흐름저항효과는 직사각형 돌출줄눈에 비해 상대적으로 작았다. 수로 횡단면의 수위분포에 따르면, 돌출줄눈 설치 측벽 주변에서 흐름저항에 따른 유속감소와 수위상승 효과가 나타나는 것으로 파악되었다. 이번 사다리꼴 돌출줄눈은 흐름저항 효과가 크지 않았기 때문에 사다리꼴 밑각을 조정하여 새로운 단면에 대한 추가적인 실험이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

In this study, the 1/20 reduced-scale experiments using Froude scaling were conducted to investigate the effect of longitudinal ventilation on the variation of burning rate in tunnel fires. The methanol square pool fires with heat release rate ranging from 3.57 kW to 10.95 kW were used. The burning rate of fuel was obtained by measured mass using load cell and temperature distribution were measured by K-type theomocouples in order to investigate smoke movement. The wind tunnel was connected with one side of the tested tunnel, and logitudinal ventilation velocity in the tested tunnel was controlled by power of the wind tunnel. In methanol fire case, the increase in ventilation velocity decreased the turning rate due to the direct cooling of fire plume. For the same dimensionless velocity(V), homing rate decreased as the size of pool fire increased.

The Froude scaling between the prototype and the model was tried to estimate the necessary ventilation rate for non-isothermal concentrated fume from the semi-closed inner space. Based on the non-dimensional similitude equations derived from the Zukoski plume rise analysis, the scaling experiments were done to verify the relationship of the non-dimensional energy release rate and the non-dimensional mass flow rate by using two different scaled volume models, model A ($1\;m{\times}1\;m{\times}1\;m$) and model B ($0.5\;m{\times}0.5\;m{\times}0.5\;m$). The experimental results showed that the theoretical similitude between the models is acceptable for the prediction of ventilation rate of the concentrated fume. The maximum energy release rate used for the experiments was $20\;kW/m^3$. In the experimental range, the similitude between the energy release rate and the ventilation mass flow rate was well defined and the necessary ventilation rates were 20-30% higher than the stoichiometric ventilation mass flow rate. Based on results of current study, the design of the local air ventilation system can be improved by correcting the effects of buoyancy and diffusion of the non-isothermal concentrated fume.

In the present works, the High-speed Cavitation Tunnel (HCT) has been designed and manufactured to have the large test section to conduct various supercavitation experiments. The large amount of air ventilated behind a cavitator produces lots of tiny bubbles, which prevent clear observation of supercavitation at the test section. To collect small bubbles effectively, a bubble collecting section of large volume is equipped upstream of the test section. HCT has the test section dimension of $0.3^H{\times}0.3^W{\times}3.0^L\;m^3$ and provides maximum flow speed of 20.4 m/s at the test section. The blockage and Froude effects on the ventilated supercavitation are investigated successfully at the test section. The basic studies such as the supercavitation evolution, drag measurements and cavity shape extraction with air flow rate are also carried out in HCT.
