A plunge pool is often employed as an energy-dissipating device at the end of a spillway or a pipe culvert. A jet from spillways or pipes frequently generates a scour hole which threaten the stability of the hydraulic structure. Existing scour prediction formulas of plunge pool of spillways or pipe culverts give a wide range of scour depths, and it is, therefore, difficult to accurately predict those scour depths. In this study, a new experimental method and new sour prediction formulas under submerged circular jet for large bed materials with shallow tailwater depths were developed. A major variable, which was not used in previous scour prediction equations, was the ratio of jet size to bed material size. In this study, jet momentum acting on a bed particle and jet diffustion theory were employed to derive scour prediction formulas. Four theoretical formulas were suggested for the two regions of jet diffusion, i.e., the region of flow establishment and the region of established flow. The semi-theoretically developed scour prediction formulas showed close agreement with laboratory experiments performed on movable bed made of large spherical particles.

Geosynthetics such as geogrids or geotextiles have been widely used to improve the bearing capacity of soft ground. This study investigated the California bearing ratio (CBR) of waste fishing net (WFN)-reinforced sand. CBR tests were carried out to evaluate the improvement in the bearing capacity of WFN-reinforced sand with different embedded depths. The experimental results indicated that the CBR increased as the embedded depth of the WFN decreased. The bearing capacity ratio (BCR) is the ratio of the bearing capacity of reinforced ground to that of unreinforced ground. The BCR at the penetration depths of 2.5 mm, 5 mm, and the peak point decreased with an increase in the embedded depth.

The cutting thickness of ultra-precision machining is generally very small, only a few micrometer or even down to the order of a few nanometer. In such case, a basic understanding of the mechanism on the micro-machining process is is necessary to produce a high quality surface. When machining at very small depths of cut, metal flow near a rounded tool edge become important. In this paper a finite element analysis is presented to calculate the stagnation point on the tool edge or critical depth of cut below which no cutting occurs. From the simulation, the effects of the cutting speed on the critical depths of cut were calculated and discussed. Also the transition of the stagnation point according to the increase of the depths of cut was observed.

Experimental were conducted to obtain information on the effect of airflow rates and bed depths on the resistance of coffee cherries and coffee beans available locally (Coffea Liberica). The airflow used were in the range of 0.06 to 0.6 cu. m/s-sq.m. The moisture content of the coffee cherries ranged from 10 % to 50% (wet basis) and that of coffee beans ranged from 12% to 30% )wet basis). Two methods of filling were used i.e. loose fill and packed fill. Pressure drops across the material bed in a vertical column were measured at several depths using inclined manometer. The pressure drop increased directly with air flow rate as well as bed depths. The effects of air flowrates and moisture contents on the resistance in terms of pressure drip per unit bed depth were analysed. The pressure drop per unit depth across the material bed varied slightly due to different depth. The resistance to airflow decreased with the increase in moisture content for loose fill. However, the effect of moisture content is not apparent for packed fill.

In this study, the variation of surface roughness was tested in surface grinding for the three working materials SM45C, heat-treated SM45C, and gray cat iron. IT was performed for the various grinding wheels with two grain size #60, #100, and three grade I, O, R and various grinding depths and feeds, The fractural grinding depths which were obtained when the grinding wheels were destructed in surface grinding works, were examined and compared with the calculated value sug-gested in this study, The results showed that the surface roughness was decreased by decreasing grinding depth, and feed, and increasing grain size and grades. The fracture grinding depths were increased by increasing grain size, grade and feed.

In the end milling process, the information of axial and depths of cut plays an important role in adaptive control systems for precision machining and tool monitoring systems for unmanned machining. In general, it is not easy to know the depths of cut due to irregular shape of workpieces, inaccurate positioning of them on the table of machine tool and machining error in previous cutting. In addition to, even they are informed, it is difficult to match the individual position of the cutter on the varying shape of the work material. This work suggest an algorithm estimating the depths of cut based on cutting force sigal. The proposed algorithm can be applied in more extensive cutting situations, for example, presence of the tool wear, variation of work material hardness, etc.

A new approach is presented for estimating depths of defocused objects which are at distances by camera motions. An ordinary camera is used for obtaining defocused images in order to propose a coarse method with a potential. This method, therefore, requires only a few camera parameters, the amount of camera motions and defocused images that mean the sizes of defocused images in itself. We use the median filter as a fitting method for estimating depths of useful accuracy with relatively simple scheme. Experiments with real images show that depths of objects can be estimated concurrently although there are several objects in an image.

In this study, a modified dispersion-correction scheme describing tsunami propagation on variable water depths is proposed by introducing additional terms to the previous numerical scheme. The governing equations used in previous tsunami propagation models are slightly modified to consider the effects of a bottom slope. The numerical dispersion of the proposed model replaces the physical dispersion of the governing equations. Then, the modified scheme is employed to simulate tsunami propagation on variable water depths and numerical results are compared with those of the previous tsunami propagation model.

We constructed marine forest to restore barren grounds which are expanding in the east coast of Korea using 2 methods of (1)seedlings transplantation method and (2)underwater floating ropes method. We transplanted 3 macroalgae species, Ecklonia cava, Undaria pinnatifida, and Saccharina. japonica to construct marine forest. Blade length of Undaria pinnatifida on underwater floating ropes was $56.70{\pm}8.69mm$ in April and grew $68.75{\pm}22.30mm$ in May and $70.75{\pm}14.36mm$ in July. Blade length of S. japonica was shown 97.95-143.00mm in April to June. Blade length of Ecklonia cava was $30.50{\pm}1.91mm$ in May, $41.55{\pm}1.84mm$ in August, $45.30{\pm}2.57mm$ in November, 2009 and $45.30{\pm}1.99mm$ in February, 2010. The survey on Dangsa area, Ulsan-city in January, 2009 found a total number of 15 algal species(1 brown algae, 14 red algae species) with the highest variety at 5m depth of A station and the lowest at 8m depth of A and B stations. The March survey showed a total of 24 species (1 green algae, 1 brown algae, 22 red algae species) with the highest variety of 11 at depths of 3m and 5m of B station and the lowest of 6 at 10m of B station. In May, total biomass was 3,755.4g (green algae 1.2g, brown algae 199.0g, red algae 3,555.2g). From January, 2009, we found that E. cava was dominant at the depths of 3m and 5m of A and B stations while Peyssonnelia capensis was dominant at the depth of 8m of A station. The 8m depth of B station was dominated by Acrosorium polyneurum. In May, Grateloupia lanceolata was dominant at 8m depth of A station while other depths were dominated by Phycodrys fimbriata. In June, the dominant species were G. lanceolata at the 3m depth, E. cava at the 5m and P. fimbriata at the depths of 8m and 10m of A station. Under B station, G. lanceolata was dominant at the depths of 3m and 5m while P. fimbriata was dominant at the depths of 8m and 10m.
