The interaction of planar shock wave with rectangular water column is investigated numerically. The flow phenomenon like reflection, transmission, cavitation, recirculation of shock wave, and large negative pressure due to expansion waves was discussed qualitatively and quantitatively. The numerical simulation was performed in a shock tube with a water column, and planar shock was initiated with a pressure ratio of 10. Three cases of the water column with different thicknesses, namely 0.5D, 1D, and 2D, were installed and studied. Water naturally has a higher acoustic impedance than air and mitigates the shock wave considerably. The numerical simulations were modelled using Eulerian and Volume of fluids multiphase models. The Eulerian model assumes the water as a finite structure and can visualize the shockwave propagation inside the water column. Through the volume of fluids model, the stages of breakup of the water column and mitigation effects of water were addressed. The numerical model was validated against the experimental results. The computational results show that the installation of a water column significantly impacts the mitigation of shock wave.

For the purpose of developing a new process f3r the elimination of oil components from oily waste water, experimental researches using oil gelling agent were performed. The process is composed of three units, that is, decantator, gelling column and adsorption column. 10g of gelling agent in the gelling column could effectively absorb 15.65g of oil from ship washing waste water and 16.93g of oil from steel industry waste water. COD in waste waters dramatically diminished not in the gelling column but in the adsorption column. The .gelling is hindered by other organic components in waste water, and the optimum space time f3r the gelling column Is 20min. 1g of gelling agent absorbed 3.7-4.0g of oil from waste waters with 25 min in the batch operation.

The theory is based on two thermodynamic equations for the air mass in the air column and bydrodynamic equation for the relation between the response of the air in the water column and the incident wave. The numerical model is experimented in a two dimensional water tank and the caisson model with sloped front wall is tested in the large towing tank.

While sludge settles down in a column, sludge settling characteristic is influenced by effect parameters, interparticle force, wall effect etc. As the height of a column changes, the settling velocity of sludge-water interface changes, too. At lower sludge concentration, particular effect was not observed by the difference of column height, however it was observed that settleability of sludge was greatly influenced by column height when sludge settling was poor or sludge concentration was high. It is therefore required to consider the effect of column height when the power model for sludge interface settling is established. In the tests, there was hardly any $SVI_{ts}$(SVI after "t" minutes) difference in each column after 10min at $1.5kg/m^3$ of sludge concentration. When sludge concentration was at $2.5kg/m^3$, $SVI_{ts}$ tended to be constant after 20min. At $3.5kg/m^3$, $SVI_{ts}$ increased to 30minuets. The purpose of this work is to establish the correction factor that is able to compensate the errors derived from each different height of column.

To determine the characteristics of heterotrophic bacterial community in estuarine ecosystem, water and sediment samples were taden from Naktong estuary. All isolates were compared with 73 characters and described by cluster analysis. With same characters, 30 reference strains were able to divide into approximate species level at 80% similarity (S value). Diversity indices ($H^{1}$) of sediment column isolates were higher than water column isolates. The bacterial community commonly appeared in water and sediment column was reduced with going to downstream. Tolerance indices for temperature (Pt) and salinity (Ps) were also higher in sediment isolates than in water isolates. The bacterial community in sediment column is believed to be composed with diverse populations compared to water column and maintains its stability against various environmental changes with high physiological tolerances.

While sludge is settling in batch column, sludge concentration becomes high. Because the characteristic of sludge settling changes in function of time due to the sludge concentration change, the sludge settling velocity changes too. Also, because the sludge settling characteristic is influenced by a physical characteristic of sludge and a column height etc, it is difficult to exactly measure the sludge settling characteristic. Although the sludge volume indexes, SVI, SSVI and $SSVI_{3.5}$, are used to predict sludge settling characteristic, these indexes are not reliable values. Because the previously established models for sludge settling velocity predict the sludge settling velocity only, it is difficult to predict sluge-water interface height by using those models. The purpose of this experiment is to establish the empirical model which predicts the sludge interface height change with respect to the sludge physical characteristic and the settling condition.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the stability of water tower with a relatively small footing. The water tower is modeled that the column carrying a container is supported by a rotational spring at the base and is of constant cross-section, with a weight per unit length of column axis. The column model is based on the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. The Runge-Kutta method and Determinant Search method are used to perform the integration of the governing differential equation and to determine the critical values(critical own weight. and critical buckling load), respectively. The critical buckling loads are calculated over a range of system parameters: the rotational stiffness parameter, the dimensionless radius of container and the own weight parameter of the column. The relation between the rotational stiffness parameter and the critical own weight parameter of the column is analyzed.

This study included the development of analytical method for determining perchlorate in water sample. The analytical condition was referred in EPA 314.0 method which use ion chromatography and the concentrator column was replaced by the guard column. Concentrating 10mL raw or treated water sample on to AGl6 guard column made it possible to get the LOD(Limit of Detection) of $0.73\;{\mu}g/L$. The total run time was 11 minutes and during run time next sample could be concentrated on AGl6 guard column. Compared to the Concentration method which needed manual operation, the Direct Injection method could screen the many water samples. The LOD of the Direct Injection method was higher and the sensitivity was lower than that of the Concentration method. The RSDs(Relative Standard Deviations) were lower than 2.5 % for peak height and 0.7 % for retention time in pre-concentration methods. This method Showed good reproducibility and reliability and it was thought the deviations of recovery value could be reduced by considering column capacity and making water sample homogeneous. Matrix Elimination could be done using the pre-concentration method if perchlorate were in complex matrix of sample.

It was found that water extract of Panax ginseng strongly inhibited adrenaline-induced lipolysis in isolated fat cells of rat epididymal adipose tissue. An antilipolytic action of the water extract was easily inactivated by treatment with pronase, suggesting that the active principle might be a protein or a peptide. Experiments were designed to purify the antilipolytic substance, or insulin-like substance, of the water extract. The water extract was dialyzed against disti'led water. The outer dialysate was subjected to DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, gelfuaration on sephadex G-50 column, avicel cellulose column chromatography and phospho-cellulose column chromatography, successively. The finally purified substance gave one spot on thin layer chromatography. The molecular weight was found to be around 1000. Experiments are now in progress to elucidate the structure of this insulin-like peptide.

Chronic outbreaks of green tide in the Nakdong estuary toll a heavy socioeconomic cost. The paper investigates the influence of sediments on the nitrogen eutrophication, being claimed as the primary cause of green tide. To measure the flux of nitrate at the sediments-water interface, sediment cores were taken in Jan., Mar., May and Sep., 2000 at Noksan located in the West-Nakdong river estuary. The dissolved oxygen was profiled and then the pore water was extracted in situ. Core samples were analyzed for their textural characteristics. Cores were incubated by a novel technique to measure the fluxes of nitrate $(NO_3^-)$ and ammonia $(NH_4^+)$ at the sediment-water interface. The dissolved oxygen was depleted usually within several millimeters in the top sediments. Nitrate started to decrease drastically at the layer where dissolved oxygen was nearly depleted. Nitrate was also exhausted within several centimeters, followed by ammonia build up rapidly. The flux at the sediments-water interface calculated from the pore water concentrations revealed that nitrate was removed from the water column into the sediments. The sediment incubation experiment confirmed the above result. On the other hand ammonia were released from the sediment to the water column. As the incubation went on, however, the nitrate concentration in the overlying water was dropped below that of a top sediment. Then the flux is reversed, i.e., nitrate was released from the sediments to the water column. The implication is that the sediment can supply nitrate to the water column if it falls below a certain level. Thus it is likely that sediments in the eutrophicated river buffers the nitrate concentration in the water column, which leads to a prolonged green tide.
