Bubble boom may be a good alternative for the prevention of oil spill pollution due to its easy deployment and clean post-process tasks. The present work is focused on the experimental investigation of air bubble movement for the bubble boom by visualization and quantitative PIV measurements. Bubble plume was generated by adjusting the pressure of pressure vessel ranging 6.7 kpa to 14.7 kpa. The results showed at lower inlet velocity and higher supply air flow rate that bubble boom maintained its containing capability reasonably well up to the maximum containing limit.

The characteristics of upward bubble flow were experimentally investigated in a liquid bath. In the present study, a thermal-infrared camera and high speed CCO camera were used to measure their temperature and local rising velocity, respectively. Heat transfer from bubble surface to water is largely completed within z=10mm from the nozzle, and then the temperature of bubble surface reaches that of water rapidly. The rising velocity of bubble was calculated for two different experimental conditions: 1) bubble flow without kinetic energy 2) with kinetic energy. Bubble flow without kinetic energy starts to undergo the effect of inertia force 10cm away from the nozzle. Whereas, kinetic energy is dominant before 30 cm away from the nozzle in bubble flow, but after this point, kinetic energy and inertial force are applied on bubble flow at the same time.

수중폭기장치로 저수지 성층을 파괴시켜 저수지 수질을 개선시키기 위한 방법이 최근 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 주요 성층 파괴기작인 Bubble Plume(공기 부력류)의 수리동역학적 거동특성과 플륨 간격에 따라 변하는 모멘텀 중첩효과가 성층파괴 효율에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 수행하였다. 이를 위해 전산유체(CFD) 소프트웨어를 이용한 2상(공기-물) 3차원의 탈성층모델을 개발했으며, 이로부터 계절에 따라 변하는 다양한 성층강도와 주입 공기량에 따라 변하는 비정상상태의 성층파괴 발달과정은 물론 최적 탈성층 효율을 갖는 플륨간격을 제안할 수 있었다. 모델검증을 위한 실험을 위해 대형 실험조를 개발했으며, 온도성층은 소금물을 이용했던 기존연구와는 달리 가열순환수를 이용한 자연성층을 재현시켜 수행하였다. 연구결과 탈성층 효율은 디퓨서 배치간격에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 플륨간격이 수심의 약 1.5배 이내익 때 중첩영향이 강하게 일어났고, PN가 클수록 간격에 영향을 상대적으로 크게 받았다. 또한, 간격이 수심보다 작곤 때는 효율이 PN에 비례해서 선형적으로 증가한 반면 그 이상에서는 효율이 상대적으로 감소하면서 비선형적으로 증가하는 현상을 밝혀냈다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해 주입공기량은 PN가 약 1000, 디퓨서 배치간격은 수심의 1.5배일 때가 최적의 성층파괴 조건인 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, we derived a new non-dimensional variable including bubble size and air diffusing area by Buckingham's theorem for making a practical correlation with experimental results. Firstly, we drew a relationship between a non-dimensional variable, $NH/u_s$, which has a form of Froude number and destratification efficiency with a simple theoretical consideration. Then we derived two non-dimensional variables by Buckingham's ${\pi}$-theorem and equating them with a form of $Fr_N$ for making single parameter to correlate overall destratification efficiency. As the result, the single parameter Be number shows a correlations with destratification efficiencies obtained from laboratory and pilot experiments. Also, for the practical applications, we conducted multiple regression analysis using Be and tank area to make predictive equations about destratification efficiency. The result also shows a successful correlations with destratification efficiency ($R^2$>0.9, p<0.001). Using this equation, we proposed a new design methodology with respect to bubble diffusing area.

In the present study, the characteristics of upward bubble flow were experimentally investigated in a liquid bath. An electro-conductivity probe was used to measure local volume fraction and bubble frequency. Since the gas is concentrated at the near nozzle, the flow parameters are high near the nozzle. In general their axial and radial values tended to decrease with increasing distance. For visualization of flow characteristics, a Particle Image Velocimetry (P.I..V) and a thermo-vision camera were used in the present study. The experimental results show that heat transfer from bubble surface to water is largely completed within z=10mm from the nozzle, and then the temperature of bubble surface reaches that of water rapidly. Due to the centrifugal force, the flow was more developed near the wall than at bubble-water plume. Vortex flow in the bottom region was relatively weaker than that in the upper region.

In the present study, a PIV measurement and image processing technique were applied in order to investigate the flow characteristics in the gas injected liquid bath. The circulation of liquid was induced by upward bubble flow. Due to the centrifugal force, the flow was well developed near both wall sides than in the center of a bath. The vortex flow irregularly repeated generation and disappearance which helped to accelerate the mixing process. The bubble rise velocity in the bottom region was relatively lower than in the upper region because the energy generated by bubbles' behavior in the region near the nozzle was almost converted into kinetic energy But bubble rise velocity increases with the increase of the axial distance since kinetic energy of rising bubbles is added to buoyancy force. In conclusion, the flow increased bubble rise velocity and the flow of the bottom region became more active.

To control algal bloom in reservoirs in Korea, artificial circulation systems have been applied. Diffuser block aeration systems have been increasingly used in Korean reservoirs especially for shallow ones. However, there has been no sound theoretical background for the design and operation of the system. Also there has not been sufficient post-installation studies to validate the effectiveness of the system. As a result, it has been repeatedly reported that the success of the system is not certain. Proper consideration on thermal stratification regimes of reservoirs and flow dynamics induced by bubble plumes are essential elements in design processes of the aeration system. This paper discusses the current methods in the design of diffuser type aeration system and suggests a new design method based on fluid mechanical theory. Example calculations were discussed using observed data of the Yeoncho Dam and it seems that the results represent the current situation successfully.

$CO_2$ 가스 기포 탐지 기술 개발을 위한 예비연구로 인위적으로 발생시킨 수층의 $CO_2$ 가스 기포 플룸을 다중빔음향측심기, 단일빔음향측심기 그리고 천부지층탐사기(SBP)를 이용해서 탐지 비교하였다. 인위적으로 발생시킨 기포의 상승속도는 가스 탱크에서 압축된 가스의 강제적인 누출이 영향을 미쳐 기존 자료보다 높게 나타나는 것으로 판단된다. 다중빔음향측심기는 단일빔 음향장비에 비하여 넓은 범위를 탐지할 수 있고 가스 누출 위치 및 수층에서 가스 플룸의 3차원적인 정보를 제공하고 있다. 따라서 다중빔음향측심기는 단일빔의 음향장비 보다 더 뚜렷한 가스 플룸을 탐지할 수 있으나, 상호보완적으로 동시에 운영하면 보다 효과적인 탐지기술을 확립할 수 있다. 향후, 본 연구는 특정가스의 음향학적 특징을 파악하여 정량적, 정성적 탐지 기술 향상에 기여하고자 한다.

해양 환경에서의 기포는 바람, 파도, 선박 및 해저 가스 누출을 포함한 여러 요인에 의해 생성된다. 수중에서의 기포는 강력한 산란 신호를 생성하여 음향 신호를 측정하는데 영향을 미친다. 이러한 기포의 특성은 음파 신호의 세기를 감쇠시켜 소음 차단 목적으로 주로 이용되고 있으며, 최근에는 해저에서 대규모로 누출되는 메탄가스 탐지를 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 가스 누출은 기포플룸의 형태를 취하며, 기포의 물리적 특성과 분포 구조를 이해하는 것은 누출된 가스를 기후 변화와 연관성을 파악하는데 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 탄성파 영상화 기법을 이용하여 기포플룸의 분포를 추정하고자 수조환경에서 실험을 수행하였으며, 별도로 제작된 인공기포 발생기, 자료 취득 시스템을 이용하여 기포에 의한 음향 신호를 취득하였다. 기포플룸을 영상화하기 위해 지진파 영상기법 중 역시간 구조보정을 이용하였으며, 획득한 음향 신호의 포락선 신호를 이용하여 기포 분포 패턴을 효과적으로 추정하였다. 영상화 결과의 검증을 위해 추정된 기포플룸의 분포와 광학카메라 영상을 비교하였다. 실험결과 탄성파 영상화 기법 통해 인공 기포플룸의 산란신호를 이용한 영상화가 가능함을 확인하였다.
