  • Recently, estuary reserovoirs have been actively constructed in Korea and also in Japan there are a large number of estuary reservoirs constructed. But most of the estuary reservoirs are located at the downstream of a river where geographical condition is best for the construction of an enclosing dam. And an effective utilization of water from the estuary reservoir seems to be difficult even if estuary reservoirs are considered to be the water resources the most available for their watershed. Studies on estuary reservoirs so far have been mainly concentrated on the physical and engineering problems of the dam construction itself. The purpose of the present study is to review the estuary reservoir planning in connection with the water resources development and to study a basis of the planning. First, the levels of water use in Korea and Japan were compared with those of other countries in the world. And then, some representative reservoirs were selected to study the roles of a reservoir and water-using conditions in the watershed. Based on the study, a survey was given on the relation between a dam construction upstream and an estuary reservoir construction downstream of a river. Finally, a comprehensive examination was made of the bases of estuary reservoir planning. (1) The estuary reservoir planning is deeply related to the plan for water use develo- pment in the watershed. After the upstream water resources were fully developed up to the most, water reso- urces development by an estuary reservoir should be started. (2) If an estuary lake has a capacity big enough, it can store flood discharge of the watershed without any loss and become a basic facility that will bring about the maxi- mum use of water from the watershed. (3) Estuary reservoirs store water used in the upstream watershed, so recycling of water use is attained by the reservoir. Water in the estuary lake is difficult to be fresh water in its long run. Therefore, estuary reservoir should be located at a place where polluted water is purified and refused. All the planning should be based on the assumption that water in the estuary lake is not fresh but polluted after a long time. (4) The estuary lake can only supply water to the lower basin directly. But the upstream area is benefited from the estuary lake by exchange of irrigation water sources between the lower and the upper area. So a large-scale exchange plan between new and existing water resources is important. By constructing estuary reservoirs and the exchange of water sources between upper and lower areas, the reasonable maximum use of water from the whole watershed is at- tained. (5) The big problem coming from the water resources development by an enclosing estuary is salt water intrusion into the lake. To maintain the estuary lake salt-free, multi-purpose use of the lake should be avoided. It is necessary to take such fundamental measures as abolition of back flow operation of gate, and the closing of the fish port and the fish ladder. The results mentioned above were found in this study and these results of this study could be used for the adequate planning of estuary reservoirs in connection with the maximum water use of the watershed.

  • 일반적인 도시 내배수시스템은 시설물과 운영방법으로 구분된다. 시설물은 관거, 수문, 배수펌프장 등으로 구성되며 운영방법은 펌프 및 수문운영으로 구성된다. 이러한 내배수시스템에서 유역의 유출 및 펌프 운영을 실시간으로 모의하고 배수효과를 고려할 수 있는 운영 모형은 펌프를 효과적으로 운영하기 위하여 필요하며, 이러한 실시간 운영 모형을 통하여 도시유역의 침수 위험을 감소시키기 위한 효율적인 펌프 운영 기법의 개발이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 SWMM 5.0 DLL과 Excel을 포함한 Visual Basic 6.0을 연계하여 실시간 운영 모형을 개발하였다. 또한, 효율적인 펌프 운영을 위한 두 개의 펌프 운영 기법을 제안하였다. 첫째는 각 맨홀의 수위를 통하여 현재 상황을 고려한 펌프의 운영이며, 둘째는 실시간으로 운영되는 각 시간단위별 유입량 전량을 배제하는 기법이다. 제안된 두 개의 기법은 현재의 펌프장 운영 기법인 유수지 수위에 따른 펌프 운영을 모의한 결과와 비교하였으며 개발된 모형은 중곡배수분구에 적용되었다.

  • 시화호 북측확장단지 조성을 위하여 반월천과 동화천이 유입되는 상류에서 호안 축조 공사가 진행되는 경우 침적된 오열도가 실한 이 지역에서 저니토가 급격하게 교란될 때 시화호 수질에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 3차원 수동역학 모델인 TIDE3D를 수질모델인 CE-QUAL-ICM과 결합하고 4개의 $\sigma$층을 사용하여 수체와 저질사이의 상호작용과 층별 변화를 모의하였다. 1년 이상의 장기적인 수질모의결과, 교란된 지점 인근에서는 저층에만 수질의 악화철상이 나타나고 시화호의 형상 및 외부 하천 유입의 복합적인 특성 상 약 5km를 지나면서 저질 교란의 영향이 표층에 나타난다. 현재의 상황에서는 겨울과 봄에 상류 오염유입이 많아서 COD와 TP수질이 좋지 않으나 이에 비해 저질의 교란으로 야기되는 수질 변화는 여름과 가을에 크게 저하되는 것으로 나타나 현존 상태와 반전된 결과를 제시한다. 선행연구(서 등, 2002)에서 취하였던 격자망보다 배정밀도로 상세화 하여 150m${\times}$150m의 격자에서 수치실험 한 결과는 계산시간의 증대를 유발하지만, 격자의존도가 수치해에 미치는 영향이 있는 것으로 판단되며 특히 유동이 배수갑문 인근의 영역에서 신을 통과하는 유량의 차이를 줄여 만족스러운 결과를 제공한다.

  • $YMnO_3$박막은 고주파 스퍼터를 사용하여 Si(100)과 $Y_2O_3$/si(100)기판에 증착하였다. 증착시에 산소 분압의 조건과 열처리 온도는 YMnO$_3$ 박막의 결정성과 그 메모리 윈도우의 특성에 매우 중요한 영향을 주었다. XRD 측정 결과 산소 분압 0%에서 증착후 $870^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 후열처리한 $YMnO_3$ 박막은 c-축을 따라 매우 잘 배향되었음을 확인하였다. 반면 산소분압 20%에서 Si(100)과 $Y_2O_3$/Si(100) 기판위에 증착된 $YMnO_3$박막의 결정화는 XRD측정 결과 $Y_2$O$_3$ peak가 보이는 것으로 보아 YMnO$_3$박막내에 과잉의 $Y_2O_3$가 c-축으로의 배향을 억제하는 것을 알 수 있다. 특히 산소분압 0%에서 증착한 Pt/$YMnO_3/Y_2O_3$/Si 구조에서의 메모리 윈도우 특성은 c-축으로 잘 배향된 결과로 인해 인가전압 2~12V에서 0.67-3.65V이었으며 이는 $Y_2O_3$/si 기판위에 산소분압 20%에서 증착한 박막 (0.19~1.21V)보다 동일한 인가전압에서 3배 정도의 큰 메모리 윈도우 특성을 보였다.

  • 인공무릎관절의 수명에 직접적인 영향을 주는 인자는 접촉면에 대한 접촉면적과 압력분포이다 따라서. 이에 대한 실험적인 평가가 필요하였고 knee simulator 혹은 K-scan sensor를 포함한 시스템과 같은 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 지금까지 보행주기에 따른 연속적인 인공관절 운동에 대한 접촉면의 압력분포를 실시간으로 분석한 연구는 미흡하다 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 보행주기를 모사하는 simulator와 I-scan을 이용하여 연속적인 동작에 따른 접촉면의 압력분포를 분석함에 있다. 본 연구의 목적을 이루기 위해서 생체내 인공관절 환경을 정확히 표현할 수 있는 knee simulator를 제작하였다. 네 방향의 자유도를 갖고 있는 본 simulator는 soft tissue의 기능을 포함하고 있고 PC Program을 통하여 압축하중과 femoral component의 굴곡각을 조절할 수 있다. 본 시스템의 I-scan sensor는 보행주기에 따른 압력분포를 분석할 수 있다. 보행주기에 대한 압력분포는 압축하중곡선에 따라 주요하게 변화함을 알 수 있고 운동성에 영향을 쿠는 압력중심의 위치도 변한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제작한 knee simulator는 보행주기 같은 특정의 운동정보를 이용하여 접촉면의 압력분포 및 운동성 같은 기계적 성능을 평가할 수 있고 형상 설계를 위한 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있다.

  • 제주도 소재 정의향교는 전통적인 유교 예제건축으로 유교문화경관을 표상하는 사례가 된다. 조선 태종16년(1416)에 정의현 설치와 함께 성산읍 고성리에 처음 세워졌으나 헌종 15년(1849)에 성내 서쪽으로 이건하여 오늘에 이르고 있는 유구한 역사를 가진 곳이다. 향교가 가지는 문화경관 자원의 특성을 공간구성과 유교의 공간예제 적용방식을 통하여 규명하는데 연구의 목적을 두었다. 연구를 위하여 정의향교가 가지고 있는 유교문화경관의 공간구조와 유교예제에 관한 특징을 다음과 같은 항목으로 분석하였다. 즉 정의향교의 건립과 이건에 따른 변화과정, 고지도를 통한 입지적인 해석, 정의향교의 유교적 상징요소, 공간구성과 배치형태, 물리적 구조, 주요건축물, 지형면에서의 입지특성, 축선의 변화, 그리고 대성전 전면공간의 위요감(D/H비) 등을 통하여 유교예제가 공간구조에 나타나는 특징을 파악할 수 있었다. 정의향교는 제주도라는 단절된 섬 지역에서 지역의 특수성을 고려하여 유교적 교화를 실현하기 위하여 건립되었으며, 성내 입지라는 한정된 공간 조건 가운데서도 수평적, 수직적으로 다양한 배치기법을 통하여 유교 특유의 공간예제를 적용하고 있는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 점을 되살려서 정의향교만이 가지고 있는 독특한 유교문화경관을 활용할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

  • 낙동강 하구 새섬매자기 식생지역의 수리역학적 퇴적환경을 알아보기 위하여 명지와 을숙도 조간대에서 6개의 퇴적물 코어를 채취하여 퇴적물 입도와 원소분석 (주원소, 미량원소, 희토류 원소)을 수행하였다. 명지 조간대의 퇴적환경은 낙동강 하구둑 좌측 수문의 영향 때문에 퇴적물 상부 (~ 15 cm)에서 분급도가 불량하고 왜도 및 첨도는 양의 값을 보였다. 반면에 을숙도 조간대는 주 수문뿐만 아니라 좌측 수문의 방류 영향으로 정점 별로 서로 다른 퇴적상을 보였다. 퇴적환경의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 분급도, 왜도 및 첨도 등을 이용하여 Linear Discriminate Function (LDF) 분석을 진행하였으며, 그 결과 퇴적물 상부에서 주로 에너지가 강한 퇴적환경이 나타났다. 을숙도 조간대의 ES05 (식생지역)와 ES11 (비 식생지역) 정점의 원소분포는 크게 Al, Fe 및 Ca 주요원소들의 분포와 관련하는 광물구성의 영향을 받는다. 알루미노실리케이트(Aluminosilicate)를 포함하는 쇄설성 광물들은 퇴적물의 희토류 함량을 희석시키며, 특히 ES05 정점 퇴적물의 원소조성을 결정하는 주요 요인으로 작용하였다. 반면에 ES11 정점의 원소조성은 점토광물과 철수산화물, 그리고 희토류 함량이 높은 중광물에 의해 조절되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 새섬매자기 조간대 퇴적물의 원소조성은 광물 분별 과정의 영향을 받으며, 이는 담수-해수 혼합 지역의 퇴적환경을 반영한다.

  • 기후 변화로 인하여 국내뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 녹조류 번무 현상이 잦아지면서 유해 녹조의 독성에 대한 위험성이 최근 대두된 바 있다. 대표적인 유해 조류인 남조류는 수온, 체류시간 및 영양염류 이렇게 3가지 요소의 교집합으로 발생한다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 내성천 내 영주댐의 완전개방으로 체류시간 감소에 따른 수질 변화 분석을 위해 준3차원 수치모델인 EFDC를 활용하여 수질모의를 수행하였다. 실제 2021년 여름철 영주댐 내 엽록소-a의 농도는 상당하여 과거 조류경보제 기준으로 '조류경보'를 오랜 기간 동안 상회하였다. 반면 댐 수문을 완전 개방한 조건으로 모의를 수행한 결과, 모의기간 동안 엽록소-a 농도가 대부분 '조류경보' 수준 이하로 저감되었다. 내성천의 흐름을 복원하여 체류시간을 감소시키는 것이 영주댐 내 녹조를 즉각적으로 저감시키는 방안임을 확인하였다.

  • In analyzing the operational characteristics of a rice whitening machine, the internal radial pressure of the machine was measured using strain gage equipment. Changes in cylinder and feed screw configurations, screen type, cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels were examined to determine their impact on the quality and quantity of milled rice and the performance of the machine. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The internal radial pressure in the whitening chamber varied with the surface condition of the grain being processed. During the first or second pass through the machine, pressure was relatively low, reached a maximum after two to three passes with combinations I and II, three to six with combination III and then began to fall. 2. The pitch of the feed screw and the size of the feed gate opening which determine the rate of entry of grain into the whitening chamber, appeared to be the most important factor aff-::cting the degree of radial pressure, quality and quantity of milled rice and the efficiency of the machine. Using a feed screw with a wide pitch (4.8cm), radial pressure was relatively high and head rice recovery ratio \vere quite low. In this case capacity and machine effic?iency were much higher than obtained when using a feed screw with a narrow pitch (2.3cm). Very significant responses in radial pressure, head rice recovery rates and machine capacity were observed with changes in cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels when using the wide pitch feed screw. 3. The characteristics of the screen which surrounds the whitening chamber had an important effect on whitening efficiency. The existence of small protuberances on the original screen resulted in significant increases in both machine capacity and efficiency but without a significant decrease in head rice recovery or development of excessive radial pressure. Further work is required to determine the effects of screen surface conditions and the shape of the cylinderical steel roller on the rate of bran removal, machine efficiency and recovery rates. The size of the slotted perforations 0:1 the screen affects total milled rice recovery. The opening size on the original screen was fabricated to accommodate the round shape of Japonica rice varieties but was not suitable for the more slender Indica type. Milling Indica varieties with this screen resulted in a reduction in total milled rice recovery. 4. An increase in cylinder speed from 380 to 820 rpm produced a positive effect on head rice recovery for all machine combinations at every level of counter-pressure used in the tests. Head rice recovery was considerably lower at 380rpm using a wide screw pitch when compared to the results obtained at speeds from 600 to 820 r.p.m. The effects of cylinder speed On radial pressure, capacity and machine efficiency showed contrasting results, depending on the width of the feed screw pitch. With a narrow feed screw pitch (2.3cm), a direct proportional relationship was observed bet?ween cylinder speed and both radial pressure and machine efficiency. In contrast, using a 4.8 centimeter pitch feed roller produced a series of inverse relationships between the above variables. Based on the results of this study it is recommended when milling Indica type long grain rice varieties that the cylinder speed of the original machine be increased from 500-600 rmp up to a minimum of 800 rpm to obtain a greater abrasive effect between the grain and the screen. The pitch of the feed screw should be also reduced to decr?ease the level of internal radial pressure and to obtain higher machine efficiency and increased quality of milled rice with increased cylinder speeds. Further study on the interaction between cylinder speed and feed screw pitch is recommended. 5. An increase in the counter pressure level produced a negative effect On the head rice recovery with an increase in radial pressure, capacity, and machine efficiency over all combinations and at every level of cylinder speed. 6. Head rice recovery rates were conditioned primarily by the pressure inside the whitening chamber. According to the empirical cha racteristics curve developed in this study, the relationships of head rice recovery ($Y_h$) and machine capacity ($Y_c$/TEX>) to internal radial pressure ($X_p$) followed an inverse quadratic function and a linear function respectively: $$Y_h^\Delta=\frac{1}{{1.4383-0.2951X_p^\ast+0.1425X_p^{\ast\ast}}^2} , (R^2=0.98)$$$$Y_c^\Delta=-305.83+374.37X_p^{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.88)$$The correlation between capacity and power consumption per unit of brown rice expressed in the following exponential function: $$Y_c^\Delta=1.63Y_c^{-0.7786^\{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.94)$$These relationships indicate that when radial pressure increases above a certain range (1. 6 to 2.0 kg/$cm^2$ based On the results of the experiment) head ricerecovery decrea?ses in a quadratic relation with a inear increase in capacity but without any decrease in power consump tion per unit of brown rice. On the other hand, if radial pressure is below the range shown above, power consumption increases dramatically with a lin?ear decrease in capacity but without significant increases in head rice recovery. During the operation of a given whitening machine, the optimum radial pressure range or the correct capacity range should be selected by controlling the feed rate and/or counter-pressure keeping in mind the condition of the grain, particulary the hardness. It was observed that the total number of passes is related to radial pessure level, feed rate and counter-pressure level. The higher theradial pressure the fewer num?ber of pass required but with decreased head rice recovery. In particular, when using high feed rates, the total number of passes should be increased to more than three by reducing the counter-pressure level to avoid decreaseases in head rice recovery (less than 65 percent head rice recovery on the basis of brown rice) at every cylinder speed. 7. A rapid rise in grain temperature seemed to have a close relationship with the pressure generated inside the whitening chamber and, subsequently with head rice reco?very rates. The higher the rate of increase, the lower were the resulting head rice recoveries.
