Stochastic molecular dynamics simulation is a variation of standard molecular dynamics simulation that basically omits water molecules. The omission of water molecules, occupying a majority of space, enables flow simulation at microscale. This study reports our stochastic molecular dynamics simulation of particles diffusing in rectangular microchannels. We interestingly found that diffusion patterns in channels with a very small aspect ratio differ by dimensions. We will also discuss the future direction of our research toward a more realistic simulation of micromixing.

현재 우리나라에서 사용되고 있는 강우-유출모형은 하도추적 방식을 모형 내에 내장되어 있는 해석절차나 유역내 모든 관거 및 하도에 일괄하여 적용하는 방식으로 되어있어 도시유역과 같이 관거와 하도가 복합적으로 구성되어 있는 경우 적절한 해석방식의 채택이 힘든 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 관거 및 하도의 개별적인 해석이 가능한 2009년 하천설계기준의 도시유역 유출해석 모형으로 포함된 FFC2Q모형을 이용하여 관거와 하도가 복합적으로 구성되어 있는 홍제천 유역을 선정하여 흐름이송 해석방법을 다양하게 설정하여 강우-유출 특성을 분석하고 실측자료에 대한 모의 방식별 분석결과에 대한 적합도를 분석하였다. 적합도 분석결과 하도에 Muskingum-Cunge법, 관거에 Kinematic-Wave법을 적용하여 흐름이송해석을 하는 경우가 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

Breathable waterproof PET fabrics were prepared by the UV coating of UV-curable polyurethaneacrylate(PUA) formulation mixed with polyethyleneglycol(PEG) as a water soluble pore former. The dispersed PEG in the UV-cured coating was extracted by warm water, which can generate individual circular pores uniformly distributed all over the coating instead of pore channels. Accordingly the moisture permeability of the microporously coated fabrics increased substantially with increasing PEG addition without significant reduction of hydrostatic pressure. Also the silicone diacrylate addition in the formulation was beneficial in increasing the hydrostatic pressure. The UV-based microporous coating can be an alternative to conventional thermal curing of solventborne polyurethane coating owing to the enhanced environment friendliness and energy saving.

To investigate the equalizer performance in underwater acoustic communication m the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI) due to multipath, computer simulations are carried out in discrete multipath shallow water channels for three different horizontal ranges. For the purpose of computation simplicity, least mean square (LMS) algorithm is adopted both in linear equalizer and nonlinear equalizer, decision feedback equalizer (DFE) to cancel out ISI effects. Binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals have been transmitted with high data rate of 2000bps through the use of equalization technique. The results demonstrate that equalization is an efficient way to achieve high transmission data rate in the shallow water channel.

For the design of suitable aquatic habitats and habitat management purposes, sensitive descriptors for aquatic areas were identified and analyzed. The classification system of the aquatic areas were developed for natural streams and modified streams in Korea. Relationships among the descriptors of an aquatic area such as channel width, meander wave length, and arc angle have been defined. The analysis indicates that the total mean sinuosity is 1.25 for the main channels of natural streams, whereas the mean value of the sinuosity of modified streams is 1.14. The mean values of the total area, the width, and the length for the sandbars of natural streams are larger than those of modified streams.

본 연구는 식생지름에 따른 식생된 복단면 하천에서 수리특성에 관한 것이다. 또한 국외에서 개발된 모형들의 차이점과 적용가능성을 조사하는 것이다. 연구결과로써 주수로의 유속은 식생밀도 증가에 따라 증가하는 동안 경계면마찰계수는 감소하다가 어느 식생밀도 지점부터 일정하였다. 하상경사가 0.5 ‰와 식생직경이 12 mm일 경우 경계면마찰계수에 대한 Pasche 모형은 10.9 %, Bertram 모형은 12.4 %, Mertens 모형은 16.8 % 평균오차를 발생시켰다. 그러나 식생밀도가 증가할수록 Nuding 모형의 오차가 증가함을 볼 수 있으며, 평균오차가 60.5 % 발생되었다. 주수로의 실측된 유속에 대한 Pasche 모형의 평균오차는 2.8 %, Mertens 모형의 평균오차는 8.3 %, Bertram 모형의 평균오차는 14.7 %, Nuding 모형의 평균오차는 11.8 %이다. 그러므로 Pasche 모형은 실제 복단면 하천에 적용하기 위해 더 유용하다. Strickler 계수를 사용한 Bertram 모형은 다른 모형보다 계산이 복잡하지 않고 측정된 마찰계수 및 유속값과 잘 일치한다.

Generally, water is taken through channels and rivers, in which there are many weirs and structures, which cross rivers and temporally hold up water. But this way has its own shortcomings. It is main reason that the water flows through structures, and backwater come into being. So it causes many water quality problems and some flood side-effects and so on. In this study, among the various movable weirs, we installed bottom-discharged and air pressure movable weir in the experimental channel. And we analyzed flowing influence, which is followed by the angle variation of movable weir. We also make further study the flow characteristic variation followed by installing entrance at the bottom to discharge the bottom water. The analysis result was that installed weir angle was increased, and the discharge also gradually increased. The installed weir angle depended on the water quantity, which can be excluded in the bottom. In case of velocity, there was increased as maximum 21.9 times, according to there is entrance or not at the bottom. And in case of water level, it showed the water level of locally above the average decrease in the upper river of weir.

The water management is one of the key issues in low operating temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The gas diffusion layer (GDL) allows the reactant gases flow to the reaction sites of the catalyst layer (CL). At high current density, generated water forms droplets because the normal operating temperature is $60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$. If liquid water is not evacuated properly, the pores in the GDL will be blocked and the performance will be reduced severely. In this study, the microchannel GDL was proposed to solve the flooding problem. The liquid water transport through 3-D constructed conventional GDL and microchannel GDL was analyzed varying air velocity, water velocity, and contact angle. The simulation results showed that the liquid water was evacuated rapidly through the microchannel GDL because of the lower flow resistance. Therefore, the microchannel GDL was efficient to remove liquid water in the GDL and gas channels.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an estrogenic endocrine disrupter. However, depending on a way of treatment, the harmful effects of BPA have not been confirmed. Also, trans-generational effects of BPA on male reproduction are still controversial. Because the reabsorption of testicular fluid in the efferent ductules (ED) and initial segment (IS) is important for sperm maturation, the present study was designed to determine trans-generational effect of BPA administrated orally on expression of water transport-related molecules in the mouse ED and IS. Ethanol-dissolved BPA was diluted in water to be 100 ng (low), $10{\mu}g$ (medium), and $1mg/m{\ell}$ water (high). BPA-containing water was provided for two generations. Expression of ion transporters and water channels in the ED and IS were measured by relative real-time PCR analysis. In the ED, BPA treatment caused expressional increases of carbonic anhydrase II, cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator, $Na^+/K^+$ ATPase ${\alpha}1$ subunit, and aquaporin (AQP) 1. No change of $Na^+/H^+$ exchange (NHE) 3 expression was detected. BPA treatment at medium dose resulted in an increase of AQP9 expression. In the IS, the highest expressional levels of all molecules tested were observed in medium-dose BPA treatment. Generally, high-dose BPA treatment resulted in a decrease or no change of gene expression. Fluctuation of NHE3 gene expression by BPA treatment at different concentrations was detected. These findings suggest that trans-generational exposure to BPA, even at low dose, could affect gene expression of water-transport related molecules. However, such effects of BPA would be differentially occurred in the ED and IS.

The objective of this study is to develop an accurate and stable dynamic water quality model which is capable of reflecting various flows and irregular cross sections and handling numerical oscillations under the low flow conditions. In order to solve the oscillation problem under the low flow conditions, diffusive wave method was applied to the low flow condition in developing a hydraulic model, DyHYD. DyQUAL is also developed as a water quality model to calculate up to 12 water quality variables including autochthonous BOD, water temperature, DO, TN and TP. The developed model is applied to both hypothetical river channels and actual Nakdong river watershed. Additionally, the applicability and reliability of the models are verified by comparing simulation results with observed values. Nash-Sutcliffe coefficients are estimated by comparison between simulation results and observed values. In the calibration and verification process, the coefficients varies from 0.391 to 0.591 and 0.704 to 0.902 for discharge, BOD, TN and TP, respectively.
