  • The simulation techniques of hydrologic data series have been developed for the purposes of the design of water resources system, the optimization of reservoir operation, and the design of flood control of reservoir, etx. While the stochastic models are usually used in most analysis of water resources fields for the generation of data sequences, the indexed sequential modeling (ISM) method based on generation of a series of overlapping short-term flow sequences directly from the historical record has been used for the data generation in western USA since the early of 1980's. It was reported that the reliable results by ISM were obtained in practical applications. In this study, we generate annual inflow series at a location of Hong Cheon Dam site by using ISM method and first order autoregressive model (AR(1)), and estimate the drought characteristics for the comparison aim between ISM and AR(1).

  • The circulation of Lake Paldang is analysed numerically as an ultimate goal to develop a vehicle predicting the dispersion and concentration of pollutants and sediment flowed into the lake. In finite difference formulation of 2-D depth averaged governing equations. Abbott's 3-time level scheme is employed and for nonlinear terms time centering iteration technique in time and space is used. Model parameters for shear stresses and eddy diffusivities are determined through measured data in and near the lake. Predicted velocities for steady flow are shown to be close to the measured velocities and further improved by taking into account of wind effect. This indicates that the wind effect is needed for proper circulation analysis and it calls for the inclusion of the wind effect. Simulated results of unsteady flow caused by flood inflows and release through Paldang dam are found to characterize the flow features quite well as expected. This implies that the developed model can be used as a tool to analysing the circulation in the lake.

  • The appearance of a rivulet at the upper surface of a stay cable is responsible for rain-wind-induced vibration (RWIV) of cables of cable-stayed bridges. However, the formation mechanism of the upper rivulet and its aerodynamic effects on the stay cable has not been fully understood. Large eddy simulation (LES) method is used to investigate flow around and aerodynamics of a circular cylinder with an upper rivulet at a Reynolds number of 140,000. Results show that the mean lift coefficients of the circular cylinder experience three distinct stages, zero-lift stage, positive-lift stage and negative-lift stage as the rivulet located at various positions. Both pressure-induced and friction-induced aerodynamic forces on the upper rivulet are helpful for its appearance on the upside of the stay cable. The friction-induced aerodynamic forces, which have not been considered in the previous theoretical models, may not be neglected in modeling the RWIV. In positive-lift stage, the shear layer separated from the upper rivulet can reattach on the surface of the cylinder and form separation bubbles, which result in a high non-zero mean lift of the cylinder and potentially induces the occurrence of RWIV. The separation bubbles are intrinsically unsteady flow phenomena. A serial of small eddies first appears in the laminar shear layer separated from the upper rivulet, which then coalesces and reattaches on the side surface of the cylinder and eventually sheds into the wake.

  • Under natural condition, many rivers had shallow and gently curved shape in plane. A two dimensional mathematical model of the flow was a very attractive one. The flow characteristics in bended open channels were analyzed. The mathematical model based on the mass and the momentum equation of the two-dimensional unsteady flow was developed by introducing finite difference method and the double sweep algorithm. For the purpose of the verification of this model, the modeling results were applied to the L.F.M flume and the I.I.H.R flume. The results had a good agreement with the experimental data of the flumes. The results could be more close to the experimental data by controlling Chezy Coefficients in order to reduce the effect of friction around side wall, and be studied the importance of the convective term. The water surface profile, the direction and scale of depth average mean velocity and the path of the thread of maximum velocity in bended open channels could be computed.

  • Flooding is an inevitable problem for many cities. The study has depended on a combined approach of physically based modeling and GIS. The stream network is structured by MIKE11 for basis of a network and extended by MIKE21 to make like 2D analysis. This method is called alternative 2D analysis. In this study, one of area in Korea is used to analyze overflow of stream. Flood risk of the area looks like not so big because an elevation of this area is very high and slope is steep, but it is very dangerous area due to the typhoons. The tools to make flood risk map are MIKE11 and MIKE21 include GIS program. And map is expressed 3-D animation with MIKE Animator. As a result of this work, the flood risk map is made. And everyone who is not an expert can check dangerous area for flooding. At present, the method which is viable and easily confirmable must be promote because one of matters of common interest, which is of the general public, is the flood disaster.

  • This paper targets a direct and quantitative prediction of characteristics of unstable waves in a combustion chamber, which employs the governing equations derived in terms of amplification factors of flow variables. A freshly formulated nonlinear acoustic equation is obtained and the analysis of unsteady waves in a rocket engine is attempted. In the present formalism, perturbation method decomposes the variables into time-averaged part that can be obtained easily and accurately and time-varying part which is assumed to be harmonic. Excluding the use of conventional spatially sinusoidal eigenfunctions, a direct numerical solution of wave equation replaces the initial spatial distribution of standing waves and forms the nonlinear space-averaged terms. Amplification factor is also calculated independently by the time rate of changes of fluctuating variables, and is no longer an explicit function for compulsory representation. Employing only the numerical computation, major assumptions inevitably inherent, and in erroneous manner, in up to date analytical methods could be avoided. With two definitions of amplification factor, 1-D stable wave and 3-D unstable wave are examined, and clearly demonstrated the potentiality of a suggested theoretical-numerical method of combustion instability.

  • 감조하천에 대한 이차원 모델링 연구의 대부분은 상류 경계조건은 유량을 사용하고 있으며, 상류경계에서 역류가 발생하는 감조하천의 경우 상류로 갈수록 오차가 커지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이런 오차를 줄이기 위해서는 상하류 모두 수위 경계조건을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 이 연구는 평상시에 역류가 발생하는 한강하구부터 전류수위표까지의 구간에 대해 수위 경계조건을 사용하여 이차원 흐름모델링을 수행하고, 수위-수위 경계조건의 적용성으로 검토하기 위해 수행하였다. 대규모 홍수에 대한 흐름 모형의 보정을 위해 2002년 8월 7일 6시부터 8월 10일 22시까지 88시간 동안 행주대교 관측소의 수위 기록을 사용하여 수치모형에 대한 보정을 수행하였다. 행주대교 관측소의 수위 예측 결과는 Manning 계수가 커질수록 수위가 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 비홍수기 흐름에 대한 수치모형의 보정을 위해, 2007년 7월 10일부터 7월 19일까지 약 201시간 동안 한강대교와 전류관측소의 수위 관측자료를 사용하였다. 행주대교 관측소에서 수위 관측치와 예측치의 RMS 오차가 최소가 되도록 Manning 계수와 Belanger 법칙의 유량계수를 각각 0.050과 0.86으로 결정하였다.

  • When predicting unsteady flow and pressure fields around a structure in a turbulent boundary layer by Large Eddy Simulation (LES), velocity fluctuations of turbulence (inflow turbulence), which reproduce statistical characteristics of the turbulent boundary layer, must be given at the inflow boundary. However, research has just started on development of a method for generating inflow turbulence that satisfies the prescribed turbulence statistics, and many issues still remain to be resolved. In our previous study, we proposed a method for generating inflow turbulence and confirmed its applicability by LES of an isotropic turbulence. In this study, the generation method was applied to a turbulent boundary layer developed over a flat plate, and the reproducibility of turbulence statistics predicted by LES computation was examined. Statistical characteristics of a turbulent boundary layer developed over a flat plate were investigated by a wind tunnel test for modeling the cross-spectral density matrix for use as targets of inflow turbulence generation for LES computation. Furthermore, we investigated how the degree of correspondence of the cross-spectral density matrix of the generated inflow turbulence with the target cross-spectral density matrix estimated by the wind tunnel test influenced the LES results for the turbulent boundary layer. The results of this study confirmed that the reproduction of cross-spectra of the normal components of the inflow turbulence generation is very important in reproducing power spectra, spatial correlation and turbulence statistics of wind velocity in LES.

  • The use of smart dampers to optimally control the response of structures is on the increase. To maximize the potential use of such damper systems, their accurate modeling and assessment of their performance is of vital interest. In this study, the performance of a controllable fluid dashpot damper, in terms of damper forces, damper dynamic range and damping force hysteretic loops, respectively, is studied mathematically. The study employs a damper Bingham-Maxwell (BingMax) model whose mathematical formulation is developed using a Fourier series technique. The technique treats this one-dimensional Navier-Stokes's momentum equation as a linear superposition of initial-boundary value problems (IBVPs): boundary conditions, viscous term, constant Direct Current (DC) induced fluid plug and fluid inertial term. To hold the formulation applicable, the DC current level to the damper is supplied as discrete constants. The formulation and subsequent simulation are validated with experimental results of a commercially available magneto rheological (MR) dashpot damper (Lord model No's RD-1005-3) subjected to a sinusoidal stroke motion using a 'SCHENK' material testing machine in the Materials Laboratory at the University of Technology, Sydney.
