A case study is presented where a fluvial system is modeled in three dimensions and compared to data gathered from a study of the Arkansas River. The data is unique in that it documents changes that affected a straight channel that was excavated within the river by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Excavation plan maps and sequential aerial photographs show that the channel underwent massive deposition and channel migration as it returned to a more natural, meandering path. These records illustrate that stability of fluvial system can be disrupted either by catastrophic events such as floods or by subtle events such as the altering of a stream's equilibrium base level or sediment load. SEDSIM, Stanford's Sedimentary Basin Simulation Model, is modified and used to model the Arkansas River and the geologic processes that changed in response to changing hydraulic and geologic parameters resulting from the excavation of the channel. Geologic parameters such as fluid and sediment discharge, velocity, transport capacity, and sediment load are input into the model. These parameters regulate the frequency distribution and sizes of sediment grains that are eroded, transported and deposited. The experiments compare favorably with field data, recreating similar patterns of fluid flow and sedimentation. Therefore, simulations provide insight for understanding and spatial distribution of sediment bodies in fluvial deposits and the internal sedimentary structure of fluvial reservoirs. These techniques of graphic simulation can be contributed to support the development of the new design criteria compatible with natural stream processes, espacially drainage problem to minimize environmental disruption.

The pressure drop of a moisture separator in a steam generator is the important design parameter to ensure the successful performance of a nuclear power plant. The moisture separators have a wide range of operating conditions based on the arrangement of them. The prediction of the pressure drop in a moisture separator is challenging due to the complexity of the multi-dimensional two-phase vortex flow. In this study, the moisture separator test facility using the air/water two-phase flow was used to predict the pressure drop of a moisture separator in a Korean OPR-1000 reactor. The prototypical steam/water two-phase flow conditions in a steam generator were simulated as air/water two-phase flow conditions by preserving the centrifugal force and vapor quality. A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of hydraulic characteristics such as the quality and liquid mass flux on the two-phase pressure drop. A new prediction model based on the scaling law was suggested and validated experimentally using the full and half scale of separators. The suggested prediction model showed good agreement with the steam/water experimental results, and it can be extended to predict the steam/water two-phase pressure drop for moisture separators.

In the one-dimensional thermal-hydraulic (TH) codes, a subcooled boiling model to predict the void fraction profiles in a vertical channel consists of wall heat flux partitioning, the vapor condensation rate, the bubbly-to-slug flow transition criterion, and drift-flux models. Model performance has been investigated in detail, and necessary refinements have been incorporated into the Safety and Performance Analysis Code (SPACE) developed by the Korean nuclear industry for the safety analysis of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The necessary refinements to models related to pumping factor, net vapor generation (NVG), vapor condensation, and drift-flux velocity were investigated in this study. In particular, a new NVG empirical correlation was also developed using artificial neural network (ANN) techniques. Simulations of a series of subcooled flow boiling experiments at pressures ranging from 1 to 149.9 bar were performed with the refined SPACE code, and reasonable agreement with the experimental data for the void fraction in the vertical channel was obtained. From the root-mean-square (RMS) error analysis for the predicted void fraction in the subcooled boiling region, the results with the refined SPACE code produce the best predictions for the entire pressure range compared to those using the original SPACE and RELAP5 codes.

In this paper, the unit processes in the typical water treatment plant, which need to be expanded because the water demand is over the existing water treatment capacity in the near future, were carefully examined to upgrade the water treatment plant. The models were installed in the fields as a distorted model based upon the hydraulic similitudes. The models having the constant discharge ratio in the unit processes between the model and the prototype were installed as two units to compare the treatment efficiencies. The capacity of the individual unit, which is a model of the prototype of $250,000m^3/day$ capacity, was $24m^3/day$. In the mixing and flocculation experiments, the mixing intensity of flocculators G was selected as the main experimental item. The optimal mixing intensities G, which are 65/sec for experimental discharge of $1m^3/hr$ and 85/sec for experimental discharge of $1.3m^3/hr$, are identified based upon the comparison the relative turbidity removal efficiencies. Also, the outlet weir loading was selected as the main experimental item in the sedimentation process. Through the continuous experiments with the main experimental items of the mixing intensity of flocculators G and the outlet loading of the weir in the sedimentation basin, about 20% upgrading compared to the existing water treatment capacity was obtained.

홍수터에 식생된 하도에서 수리학적 특성의 이해는 하천복원사업을 계획하거나 홍수터를 관리하는데 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 길이 16 m，폭 0.8 m 의 실험수로에 인공식생을 이용하여 수리학적 특성변화를 분석하였다. 실험수로 단면은 단단면과 복단면으로 구분하였다. 하상경사는 0.5 %，유량은 $0.2\;m^3/s\;{\sim}\;0.4\;m^3/s$ 범위이고，수심비，식생밀도, 식생 위치를 변화시키면서 실험을 수행하였다. 단단면 수로 저면에 식생하였을 경우 수심비가 약，3.5 이상부터는 식생에 의한 수위 증가는 거의 없는 것으로 관측되었다. 복단면 홍수터에 관목을 식생 할 경우 수위 상승량은 최대 6% 정도이며，저수로 내 유속은 식생전의 단면평균유속에 비하여 약 25% ${\sim}$ 85% 정도로 증가하였다. 홍수터 식생에 의한 저수로 유속 증가량은 식생밀도와 비례하고 수심비와는 반비례한다. HEC -RAS 및 RMA-2 모형을 이용하여 산정된 식생 구간의 조도계수 범위는 단단면의 경우 0.055 ${\sim}$ 0.14 이며， 복단면에서는 0.063 ${\sim}$ 0.085 정도로 산정되었다.

본 연구에서는 다양한 유량 조건 하에서 수로의 만곡이 존재하고 하중토가 존재하는 비교적 복잡한 지형에 대한 수리모형실험에 LSPIV기법과 기존 점유속계(2차원 전자기유속계)를 함께 적용하고 그 결과를 비교하여 복잡한 흐름에 대한 LSPIV의 적용성을 검토하였다. LSPIV를 이용한 표면유속장과 2차원 전자기유속계를 이용하여 1점법으로 측정된 유속장을 비교할 때, 수로 만곡과 같은 지형적 특성으로 인한 유속분포의 특성이 유사하게 관측되었으며, 홍수시의 주변고수부지 및 하중도 침수로 인해 복잡한 흐름구조가 발생하는 경우에는 LSPIV를 이용한 표면유속장 측정을 통하여 흐름특성을 더욱 명확하게 관찰할 수 있었다. 측정된 유속자료 및 하도단면자료를 이용하여 홍수량을 산정해 본 결과 하도횡단면이 비교적 단순한 경우에는 표면유속과 점유속을 이용해 계산한 홍수량 간의 차가 크지 않았으나 하도단면이 복잡한 경우에는 계산된 홍수량 사이의 차가 크게 나타났다.

COBRA-TF is a two fluid, three field subchannel code. Three fields are continuous vapor, continuous liquid and droplet. Some assessments are conducted to validate the related models and to estimate a code ability through dryout and post-CHF experiment in a tube and DNB test in rod bundles. It turned out form dryout and post-CHF experiment that the predicted dryout locations and wall temperature profiles are in close agreement with the experiments. On the other hand, DNB prediction of COBRA-TF are performed for two kinds of rod bundles along with EPRI CHF correlation. To estimate its performance COBRA-IV of homogeneous model is also run for the same data. The results say that COBRA-TF/EPRI is better in DNB prediction than COBRA-IV/EPRI. In addition the thermal-hydraulic behaviors due to the different two-phase flow models are presented at the condition of CHF.
