A catch basin sump is one major habitat for mosquito larvae, especially in urban areas. This study developed a device for mosquito control, specifically for the catch basin sump. It consists of a housing, is a little smaller than the catch basin sump, numerous floating materials, which the key component for mosquito control, and mesh nets. The small balls or pyramid-shaped floating materials inhibit mosquito enclosures and spawning by significantly decreasing the surface area of the water, which is essential for the mosquito life cycle. These floating materials were designed to keep the water flowing. The mesh nets were installed to prevent the outflow of floating materials. The efficiency of the floating materials was tested with 3 conditions (1, 2, 3 layers of floating materials) and a control group. The emergence of mosquito adults decreased by 20% in one-layer, and 70-80% in second and third layers. Therefore, this device is expected to certainly contribute to mosquito population control in the catch basin sump.

흡수정은 댐이나 저수지에 저장된 물을 흡입하여 사용하는 설비이다. 흡입한 다량의 물은 화력 및 원자력 등의 대형 발전소의 냉각시스템에 사용된다. 특징으로 흡입 유량과 흡수정의 비가 작으면 흡입구 주변에서 유속이 증가한다. 이로 인해 와류나 선회류의 불균형 유동이 발생된다. 불균형 유동은 흡수정의 성능을 저하나 고장의 원인이 된다. 해결하기 위한 다양한 방법이 고안되고 있으나 최저수위 일 경우 정확한 해결 방법을 찾지 못하고 있다. 가장 효율적인 해결방법으로는 AVD를 설치하거나 관로를 길게하는 방법이 있다. 이렇게 설치된 구조물이 유동의 흐름을 균일하게 만들어 주기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 관로의 길이와 AVD의 형태 변화에 따른 흡수정 내의 유동특성을 수치해석으로 분석한다. 수치해석을 위하여 수정의 흡입부, 섬프, 펌프의 3단계로 분리하여 모델링하였다. 격자는 해석의 정확도를 위해 흡입부는 비조밀, 흡수정과 AVD는 조밀하게 하였다. ANSYS ICEM-CFD 14.5를 이용하여 120~150만개의 격자를 생성하였고 Tetra grid와 Prism grid를 혼용하였다. 해석을 위해 상용 CFD 프로그램인 ANSYS CFX14.5의 SST 난류모델을 선정하였다. 조건으로 H.W.L 6.0m, L.W.L 3.5, Qmax 4.000 kg/s, Qavg 3.500 kg/s Qmin 2.500 kg/s로 설정하였다. 보텍스 각도와 속도분포로 해석한 결과는 다음과 같다. Ext E-type의 AVD를 설치한 흡수정이 최고수위 일때 합격하였다. 추후, Ext E-type을 기본으로 하여 최저수위일 때 만족하는 연구가 필요하다.

In this study the change of free surface vortex is represented at different times according to height of water and with or without curtain wall installation. The air volume fraction is investigated at each condition of water level and the influence about creation of vortex is analyzed. The height of sump intake is taken as 100mm and the water level is divided into 5 steps. The sump model is the TSJ model and the curtain wall is applied by HI standard of America. The results shows that the free surface vortex can be identified on the isotropic surface at air volume fraction 1%~5% and the vortices make an air column from the free surface to the sump intake and are created and destroyed repeatedly. In the higher water level, less air is absorbed into the intake pipe. After curtain wall installation, the suction rate of the air volume fraction is decreased by 6.7%. The result of the vortex motion according to time, works on a cycle.

The efficiency of the flow mixed pump installed within the bell-mouth in the sump is reduced by the flow characteristics of around intakes. Strong submerged vorticies can be successfully suppressed by installing an AVD(anti-submerged vortex device) on the bottom of pump intake channel just below the bell-mouth. Sump model with AVD device basin is designed and the characteristics of submerged vortex is investigated in the flow field by numerical simulation. In this study, a commercial CFD code is used to predict the efficiency of the pump with the AVD installation in the pump station accurately.

Vortex and swirl occurring in a pump suction intake sump normally reduce the performance and disturb the safe operation of the circulation water pump in thermal power plants. This paper presents a case study of one particular intake sump design via a CFD analysis and a hydraulic model testing. The physical experiments and numerical analysis were performed under two flow and three level variation conditions. The vortex patterns around the pump suction pipe have been predicted by a commercial CFD code with the k-${\varepsilon}$ model. The model tests were conducted on a 1/10 model for a practical intake sump. The location, number and general pattern of the free surface vortex and submerged vortex predicted by CFD simulation were found to be a good agreement with those observed in the model testing.

Pump sump system or pumping stations are built to draw water from a source such as river and used for irrigation, thermal power plants etc. If pump sump is improperly shaped or sized, air entraining vortices or submerged vortices may develop. This may greatly affect pump operation if vortices grow to an appreciable extent. Moreover, the noise and vibration of the pump can be increased by the remaining of vortices in the pump flow passage. Therefore, the vortices in the pump flow passage have to be reduced for a good performance of pump sump station. In this study, the effect of pump intake leaning angle and flow rate on the pump sump internal flow has been investigated. There are three cases with different leaning angle. Moreover, a pipe type with elbow also has been studied. The flow rate with three classes of air entraining vortices has been examined and investigated by decreasing the water level. The result shows that the air entraining vortices easily occurs at the pump intake with large leaning angle. Moreover, the elbow type of the pump intake easily occurs air entraining vortices at the high flow rate (or velocity) in comparison to other pump intake type.

Clogging of sump strainers that filter the recirculation water in containment after a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) seriously impedes the continued cooling of nuclear reactor cores. In experiments examining the corrosion of aluminium alloy 6061, a common material in containment equipment, in borated solutions simulating the water chemistry of sump water after a LOCA, we found that Fe-bearing intermetallic particles, which were initially buried in the Al matrix, were progressively exposed as corrosion continued. Their cathodic nature $vis-{\grave{a}}-vis$ the Al matrix provoked continuous trenching around them until they were finally released into the test solution. Such particles released from Al alloy components in a reactor containment after a LOCA will be transported to the sump entrance with the recirculation flow and trapped by the debris bed that typically forms on the strainer surface, potentially aggravating strainer clogging. These Fe-bearing intermetallic particles, many of which had a rod or thin strip-like geometry, were identified to be mainly the cubic phase ${\alpha}_c-Al(Fe,Mn)Si$ with an average size of about $2.15{\mu}m$; 11.5 g of particles with a volume of about $3.2cm^3$ would be released with the dissolution of every 1 kg 6061 aluminium alloy.

Shotcrete (or Sprayed concrete) has been used as an important support material in New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM). Since the mid of 1990, permanent shotcrete tunnel linings such as Single-shell, NMT (Norwegian Method of Tunnelling) has been constructed in many countries for reducing the construction time and lowing construction costs instead of conventional in-situ concrete linings. Among essential technologies for successful application of permanent shotcrcte linings, high performance shotcrete providing high strength, high durability, better pumpability has to be developed in advance as an integral component. This paper presents the Ideas and first experimental attempts to increase early strength and bond strength of wet-mixed Steel Fiber Reinforced Shotcrete(SFRS) in sump water condition. In order to increase early strength, a new approach using high-early strength cement with liquid alkali-free accelerator has been investigated From the results, wet-mix SFRS with high-early strength cement and alkali-free accelerator exhibited excellent early strength improvement compared to the ordinary portland content and good bond strength even under sump water condition.

A better flow condition for the intake of pump is provided by the sump pump that connects the forebay to the intake of the pump station. If the suction sump is improperly shaped or sized, air-entraining vortices or submerged vortices may develop. These phenomena may greatly affect pump operation if vortices become sufficiently large. Moreover, any remaining vortices in the pump flow passage may result in an increase in the noise and vibration of the pump. Therefore, the vortices in the pump flow passage must be reduced to achieve good pump sump station performance. In this study, the effect of suction pipe leaning angle on the pump sump's internal flow is investigated. Additionally, a pipe type with an elbow shape is investigated. The results show that the air entraining vortices occur under the condition of a water level ratio H/D = 1.31 for each suction pipe type.

탱크선과 같은 대형 선박 내부에 설치된 펌프시스템은 펌프장의 수위와 유량 조건에 따라서 펌프 내부유동이 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 그러나, 펌프의 성능은 설계 시 일반적으로 펌프가 작동될 펌프장 환경을 고려하지 않고 펌프 자체의 성능만을 고려하여 설계하기 때문에 펌프로 유입되는 유동에 포함된 보텍스와 선회류의 영향을 받을 경우 펌프장 내에서 공기를 동반한 보텍스 및 선회류가 발생하며, 이러한 유동 환경의 영향으로 펌프의 효율저하, 진동 및 소음문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 펌프장의 운전 조건에 따른 내부유동을 검토하기 위하여 펌프장 축소모델을 설계 및 제작하여 수위에 따른 보텍스의 발생 빈도 및 형상을 기초실험을 통하여 확인하였으며, 공기를 동반하여 펌프에 흡입되는 보텍스 Class c의 경우 상대적으로 낮은 수위에서 높은 빈도로 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.
