Laminar Flow over an equilateral triangular cylinder is studied for several inflow angles. Under an uniform flow of $Re_d$=50,75,100,125,150, the triangular cylinder is rotated by ${\theta}$=$0^{\circ}$,$15^{\circ}$,$30^{\circ}$,$45^{\circ}$,$60^{\circ}$,$75^{\circ}$,$90^{\circ}$,$105^{\circ}$. The governing equations are solved by the PISO algorithm based on the finite volume method of the unstructured grid system. The effects of the inflow angle on the vortex-shedding flows are investigated. The Strouhal number shows a minimum at ${\theta}$=$60^{\circ}$. It is closely related to the variation of pressure and flow structure induced by the movement of separation points.

We compared the heat transfer characteristics of the parallel and the counterflow flow in the concentric double tube of the Al₂O₃/water nanofluids using numerical methods. The high- and low-temperature fluids flow through the inner circular tube and the annular tube, respectively. The heat transfer characteristics according to the flow direction were compared by changing the volume flow rate and the volume concentration of the nanoparticles. The results showed that the heat transfer rate and overall heat transfer coefficient improved compared to those of basic fluid with increasing the volume and flow rate of nanoparticles. When the inflow rate was small, the heat transfer performance of the counterflow was about 22% better than the parallel flow. As the inflow rate was increased, the parallel flow and the counterflow had similar heat transfer rates. In addition, the effectiveness of the counterflow increased from 10% to 22% rather than the parallel flow. However, we verified that the increment in the friction factor of the counterflow is not large compared to the increment in the heat transfer rate.

To improve the low treatment efficiency of sewage treatment plants, the separated sewer system must be maintained to provide an adequate flow rate and quality of the sewage under the effect of inflow. In this study, data from five locations of Namsuk, Dukgok1, Dukgok2, Kanggu, and Opo were used to conservatively calculate the inflow water volume. The sewer flow and rainfall data were collected in 2017. The factors in the standard method used to calculate the inflow of the combined sewer pipes including "rainy days", "rainfall impact period", and "period for basal sewer" were defined as 3 mm/day, continuous rain for two days, and two weeks prior to the inflow generation, respectively. "Rainy days", "rainfall impact period", and "period for basal sewer" were conservatively adjusted to 5 mm/day, continuous rain for five days, and three weeks prior to the inflow generation, respectively. As a results of the adjustment, the linearity (r²) was improved except for in Dukgok1. This implies that the conservative adjustment made in this study could improve the management quality of sewer pipes. Also, the linear correlation coefficient (a_i) between inflow and rainfall showed a large difference between the target locations, which can be another monitoring factor affecting the quality of sewer pipes. To improve the correlation based on the individual characteristics of the locations in Korea, the automatic algorithm for the inflow calculation should be developed by innovative intellectual technologies for application to the entire national area.

This study examined the separation characteristics of particles in the rainfall runoff from paved roads using a ${\varphi}7.5$ cm hydrocyclone. The volume fraction and total suspended solids concentrations in the overflow and underflow from the hydrocyclone, as well as the separation efficiency were determined. The results indicated that the overflow volume increased with increasing operational pressure, but decreased with decreasing ratio of underflow outlet to inlet sizes ($D_u/D_i$), while the underflow to overflow volumes showed contrary behavior. The total suspended solid (TSS) concentration ratio between the overflow and inflow ($TSS_{over/in}$) decreased as a function of the operational pressure, while the corresponding ratio of underflow to inflow ($TSS_{under/in}$) increased. There was no visible difference in the $TSS_{over/in}$ with increasing $D_u/D_i$ ratio, but the $TSS_{under/in}$ decreased sharply. The particle removal efficiency was mainly affected by the particle size.

The inflow rate is of interest in the design of underground structures such as tunnels and buried pipes below the groundwater table. Soil permeability governing the inflow rate significantly affects the hydro-geological behavior of soils but is difficult to estimate due to its wide range of distribution, nonlinearity and anisotropy. Volume changes induced by stress can cause nonlinear stress-strain behavior, resulting in corresponding permeability changes. In this paper, the nonlinearity and anisotropy of permeability are investigated by conducting Rowe cell tests, and a nonlinear permeability model considering anisotropy was proposed. Model modification and parameter evaluation for field application were also addressed. Significance of nonlinear permeability was illustrated by carrying out numerical analysis of a tunnel. It is highlighted that the effect of nonlinear permeability is significant in soils of which volume change is considerable, and particularly appears in the short-term flow behavior.

A accurate reservoir inflow is very important as providing information for decision making about the water balance and the flood control, as well as for dam safety. The methods to calculate the inflow were divided by the directed method to measure streamflow from upstream reservoirs and the indirected method to estimate using the correlation of reservoir water level and release. Currently, the inflow of multi-purpose dam is being calculated by the indirect method and the reservoir water level to calculate the storage capacity is being used by centimeters(cm) units. Corresponding to the storage volume of 1cm according to scale and water level of multi-purpose dam comes up to from several 10 thousand tons to several million tons. If it converts to inflow during 1 hour, and it comes to several hundred $m^3/sec$(CMS). Therefore, the inflow calculated on the hourly is largely deviated along the water level changes and is occurred minus value as the case. In this research, the water level gage has been developed so that it can measure a accurate water level for the improvement for the error and derivation of inflow, even though there might be various hydrology and meteorologic considerations to analyse the water balance of reservoir. Also, it is confirmed that the error and the standard derivation of data observed by the new gage is decreased by 89,6% and 1/3 & 87% and 2/3 compared to that observed by the existing gage of Daecheong and Juam multi-purpose dam.

This study was performed to analyze the affect of water supply capacity followed by allocating flood control volume in heightening reservoir, of which Baekgog reservoir was selected as a case study in here. Baekgog reservoir is located in Jincheon county, Chungbuk province, of which full water level will be heightened from EL. 100. 1m to EL. 102.1m, and total storage from 21.75M $m^3$ to 26.67M $m^3$. Flood inflow with 200year frequency was estimated to 997 $m^3$/s in peak flow and 22.54M $m^3$ in total volume. Reservoir flood routing was conducted to determine flood limited water levels, which was determined to have scenarios such as EL 97-98-99m in periods of 6.21.-7.20., 7.21.-8.20., and 8.21.-9.20., respectively, EL 97-97-97m, EL 98-98-98m in present reservoir, and EL 99-100-101m, EL 99-99-99m, and EL 100-100-100m in heightened reservoir. Reservoir inflow was simulated by DAWAST model. Annual paddy irrigation requirement was estimated to 33.19M $m^3$ to 2,975ha. Instream flow was allocated to 0.14mm/d from October to April. Operation rule curve was drawn using inflow, irrigation and instream flow requirements data. In case of withdrawal limit reservoir operation using operation rule curve, reduction rates of annual irrigation supply before and after flood control by reservoir were 2.0~4.3% in present size and 1.5~3.6% in heightened size. Reliability on water supply was decreased from 77.3% to 63.6~68.2% in present size and from 81.6% to 72.7~79.5% in heightened size. And reduction rates of water storage at the end of year before and after flood control by reservoir were 7.3~16.5% in present size and 7.7~16.9% in heightened size. But water supplies were done without any water deficiency through withdrawal limit reservoir operation in spite of low flood regulating water level.

To regulate cardiac output of the Total Artificial Heart(TAH) physiologically, the hemodynamic information must be toed back to the controller. So far, our group has developed an automatic cardiac output control algorithm using the motor current waveform, It is, however difficult to detect the preload level such as a filling status of ventricular inflow and the variation of atrial pressures within normal physiologic range(0-15 mmHg) by analyzing the motor current which simultaneously reflects the afterload effect. On the other hin4 the interventricular volume pressure(IVP) which is not influenced by arterload but by preload is a good information source for the estimation of preload states. In order to find the relationship between preload and IVP waveform, we set up the artificial heart system on the Donovan type mock circulatory system and measured the IVP waveform, right and left atrial pressures, inflow and outflow waveforms and the signals represented the information of moving actuator's position. We shows the feasibility of estimating the hemodynamic changes of inflow by using IVP waveform. fife found that the negative peak value of IVP waveform is linearly related to atrial pressures. And we also found that we could use the time to reach the negative peak in IVP waveform, the time to open outflow valve, the area enclosed IVP waveform as unfu parameters to estimate blood filling volume of diastole ventricle. The suggested method has advantages of avoiding thrombogenesis, bacterial niche formation and increasing longterm reliability of sensor by avoiding direct contact to blood.

본 논문에서는 절리암반에서 발생하는 지하수 유동과 굴착된 지하공동으로의 지하수 유입량을 해석하는 대표체적법, 비대표체적법 및 절리망 해석법을 소개하고 절리의 수와 공동의 직경을 변화시키면서 각 해석법의 특징과 결과를 비교하였다. 선처리 과정으로서 다수의 절리가 서로 교차하는 절리암반의 등가 수리전도계수를 산정하는 이론과 계산 과정(일명, 순차적 해석)이 소개되었다. 유한요소망과 절리도 및 순차적 해석을 이용하여 445개 요소 각각의 등가 수리전도계수를 계산하였으며 절리암반의 비균질 수리전도성과 대표물성 결정에 관해 논의하였다. 대표체적법에서는 대표물성을 통해 절리암반의 균질화가 이루어졌으며 따라서 절리밀도, 공동의 직경 및 수리전도대비의 증가에 따른 지하수 유입량의 증가도 규칙적이며 일관성 있는 경향을 보였다. 비대표체적법에서는 암반의 비균질성이 요소 단위로 해석에 반영됨으로써 유입량의 변화 양상은 불규칙하였으나 특성 치수가 증가함에 따라 대표체적법의 결과에 접근하는 경향을 보였다. 절리망 해석은 절리밀도, 공동크기 및 절리망과 공동의 교차 여부 등에 가장 민감하게 반응하였으나 해석결과의 신뢰도가 개별 절리에 관한 자료에 너무 의존하게 되는 단점이 있다. 제한된 범위에서 수집될 수밖에 없는 현장 절리자료의 불확실성을 감안할 때 대표체적법과 비대표체적법이 실질적으로 더 합리적인 해석방법으로 인식되었다.
