This study was conducted to analyse groundwater flow in the Bugok hot spring area using the MODFLOW model which can simulate three dimensional groundwater flow both in confined and unconfined aquifers. Based on this study the following conclusions were obtained: 1) The hydraulic conductivity and the specific storage of the aquifer were 0.0135 m/day and 0.020, respectively, and the model-predicted groundwater elevation agreed well with the observed one. 2) Simulation results showed that the groundwater level declines at the end of the one-year simulation period when the annual recharge rate is small and the annual pumping rate high, which is the worst combination. Except that combination, the groundwater level does not decline at the end of one-year simulation period indication the pumping rates used were allowable. 3) The safe yield depends upon the magnitudes of the recharge and pumping rates. The pumping rate should not produce excess decline of groundwater level around April when the water level is the lowest in a year.

One of commonly physical phenomena encountered in pump sump systems in which its significant influence to the hydraulic performance of pump system plays an important role in the field of fluid engineering, is the appearance of free surface and submerged vortices. In this paper, a study of the vortices behavior and their formative mechanism of asymmetry is considered in this paper by using numerical approach. The Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and k-omega Shear Stress Transport turbulence model used to describe the properties of turbulent flows, in company with VOF multiphase model, are implemented by Fluent code with multi-block structured grid system. In the numerical simulation, the calculated elevation of air-water interface and vortex core contours are used to classify visually surface vortices as well as submerged vortices. It is shown that the free surface vortex is identified by the concavity of liquid region from the free surface and swirling flow at that own plane. To investigate the distinctive behavior of these vortices corresponding to each given flow rate at the same water level, some numerical testing of them are considered here in such a manner that the flow pattern of surface vortex are obtained similarly to the obtained results from experiment. Furthermore, the influence due to the change of grid refinement and the variation of depth of the concavity are also considered in this paper. From that, these influential factors will be implemented to design a good pump sump with higher performance in the future.

Side friction is often neglected in the analysis of the results of a consolidation test when the specimen has a high ratio of diameter to height. As the height of a specimen increases, however, side friction becomes important. This paper presents an investigation of the effect of side friction on consolidation test results for normally consolidated kaolinite slurry. Consolidation tests were performed to obtain settlement, pore pressure, compressibility, and hydraulic conductivity of kaolinite slurry. The compressibility relationship is corrected for side friction using a modified form of Taylor (1942) analytical solution. Numerical simulations using the CS2 piecewise-linear model are compared with settlement and excess pore pressure measurements. Experimental results show improved agreement with a modified CS2 model in which the effect of side friction is considered. The numerical and experimental results indicate that the side friction is an important factor affecting the rate of consolidation as well as the compressibility relationship for the specimen.

The dynamic characteristics of a ducted fan in hovering condition were investigated. The section properties of the fan blade were calculated, and a simulation model was developed according to the rotor system components. Dynamic analyses were conducted relative to the rotational speed and the collective pitch. The proposed ducted fan system showed less aero-elastic instability within the designated operating ranges. To verify the analytical approach, a rotating test stand of the ducted fan was set up. A functional test of the assembly was carried out to determine the kinematics and interference between components. The non-rotating and rotating normal frequencies were measured by excitation of the collective pitch using hydraulic actuators. The results indicated a correlation between the test equipment and the simulation model.

Malfunction of gutter systems in the slope area accelerate to percolate surface flow into underground and to cause the decrease of soil strength, Overflowing from gutter causes soil erosion from slope surface, secondary it is one of the main reasons to cause disaster in the hillside area. Much researches were reported and are undergoing about flood disaster in the down stream area, but rare in the upper reach(hillside). It is considered that improving function of gutter in the hillside is very important to prevent the disaster caused by rainfall. In this paper, After analyzing relationship between rainfall and disaster on the hillside in Busan, researches about having surface flow run into gutter effectively and preventing from overflowing outside of gutter on the hillside in Busan were carried out. Improved design methods of gutter are suggested to mitigate disaster in the sloping area by analysis of collected data and hydraulic model test.

The double-lane arrangement model is frequently used in underground coal mines because it is beneficial to improve the mining efficiency of the working face. When the double-lane arrangement is used, the service time of the reserved roadway increases by twice, which causes several difficulties for the maintenance of the roadway. Given the severe non-uniform deformation of the reserved roadway in the Buertai Coal Mine, the stress distribution law in the mining area, the failure characteristics of roadway and the control effect of support resistance (SR) were systematically studied through on-site monitoring, FLAC 3D numerical simulation, mechanical model analysis. The research shows that the deformation and failure of the reserved roadway mainly manifested as asymmetrical roof sag and floor heave in the region behind the working face, and the roof dripping phenomenon occurred in the severe roof sag area. After the coal is mined out, the stress adjustment around goaf will happen to some extent. For example, the magnitude, direction, and confining pressure ratio of the principal stress at different positions will change. Under the influence of high-stress rotation, the plastic zone of the weak surrounding rock is expanded asymmetrically, which finally leads to the asymmetric failure of roadway. The existing roadway support has a limited effect on the control of the stress field and plastic zone, i.e., the anchor cable reinforcement cannot fully control the roadway deformation under given conditions. Based on obtained results, using roadway grouting and advanced hydraulic support during the secondary mining of the panel 22205 is proposed to ensure roadway safety. This study provides a reference for the stability control of roadway with similar geological conditions.

최근 기후변화의 영향으로 인한 국지성 돌발호우 및 태풍 규모의 증가로 홍수에 의한 피해가 증가할 것으로 예상되는바 피해를 저감할 수 있는 대비책 마련과 피해의 정확한 분석을 위한 툴의 개발이 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 선진국에서는 하천과 연계된 홍수범람 해석모형인 HEC-RAS(USACE), Mike Flood(DHI) 등을 개발 및 배포하고 있는 반면에 국내에서 개발된 모형들은 연구목적으로 활용되는 수준에 그치고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 수공구조물의 운영을 고려한 1차원 하천흐름해석모형(K-RIVER) 및 제방 또는 댐으로부터의 범람모의를 수행할 수 있는 2차원 홍수범람해석모형(K-FLOOD)을 이용하여 하천으로부터의 홍수범람현상을 하천과 범람원 사이의 양방향 흐름을 고려하여 연계해석 할 수 있는 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형을 경상남도 함안국 법수면 백산리에 위치하고 있는 벽산제를 대상으로 2002년 8월 6일 홍수사상에 의한 홍수범람현상의 재현을 통하여 적용성 검토를 수행하였다. 또한, 국내에서 주로 활용되고 있는 방법인 HEC-RAS와 FLUMEN을 이용한 결과 및 HEC-RAS 1D/2D연계모의결과와 비교를 통하여 결과의 적정성을 검토하였다. K-RIVER와 K-FLOOD를 연계모의한 결과는 HEC-RAS 1D/2D의 결과와 유사한 결과를 보였다. 그러나 HEC-RAS와 FLUMEN을 이용하는 경우 하천과 범람원의 수위에 따라 양방향으로 생성되는 흐름에 대한 모의가 불가능하여 하천의 수위저하시 범람원에서 하천으로의 유입을 고려할 수 없어 범람면적이 감소되는 현상을 모의할 수 없음에 따라 침수심 및 침수시간을 정확히 모의하는 것에는 한계가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

A user-friendly modeling interface is developed for a process-based total system performance assessment framework (APro) specialized for a generic geological disposal system for high-level radioactive waste. The APro modeling interface is constructed using MATLAB, and the operator splitting scheme is used to combine COMSOL for simulation of multiphysics and PHREEQC for the calculation of geochemical reactions. As APro limits the modeling domain to the generic disposal system, the degree of freedom of the model is low. In contrast, the user-friendliness of the model is improved. Thermal, hydraulic, mechanical and chemical processes considered in the disposal system are modularized, and users can select one of multiple modules: "Default process" and multi "Alternative process". APro mainly consists of an input data part and calculation execution part. The input data are prepared in a single EXCEL file with a given format, and the calculation part is coded using MATLAB. The final results of the calculation are created as an independent COMSOL file for further analysis.

Gate operation of hydraulic structures is important for proper management in rivers. In this study, the characteristics of flood time were analyzed and predicted using the HEC-RAS model, which is capable of one-dimensional and two-dimensional connectivity analysis of the main points downstream of the Geum river. As a result, flood travel time was decreased once discharge increase and downstream water level rising. However, When the floodplain was overflowed, the arrival time increased due to the rapid increase of the river width. Also, the same condition, flood wave travel time at the major point was approximately twice as fast as water level rising travel time, indicating that waves progressed faster than actually water. Using the results of this study, it will be helpful in the river.

The enlargement and reduction of river channels can not only change the flow of water but also alter sedimentation patterns, thus hindering smooth flood conveyance. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze the effects of the sudden enlargement of river channels on changes in the riverbed and river flow. For this purpose, as part of the "Hometown River" Construction Project, this study examined the local river Kyungpo-cheon, which a section of the river channel was widened by at least two- to three-fold, using RMA-2 and SED-2D models to simulate the changes in flow characteristics and riverbed variation due to the widening of the channel. The results of the study indicated that widening the Kyungpo -cheon river channel secured its dimensional stability in comparison to before widening. however, due to a flood frequency of more than once per year, future maintenance and management will be costly and time-consuming.
