  • In general, the hollow jet valve, the fixed cone valve had been used for the urgency released or maintenance of the flow rate. Nowadays, the butterfly valve, the gate valve are applied in economic performance and operation maintenance more than the hollow jet valve, the fixed cone valve. However, in the case of butterfly valve, it should be required the strict application standard to the cavitation coefficient because the structural axis and disk were situated in pipe channel and the occurring the shock problem by Karman Vortex. And, the judgment data for choice were slight lowdown in water supply and drainage facilities standard or Japanese penstock technology standard, various standard of KOWACO etc. Therefore. there were investigated the valve inside phenomenon (cavitation, disk chattering, vibration) by velocity of flow and the stability examination of body by high velocity of flow through flow scale model test using the numerical analysis and PIV to establish the applicable extensibility of the butterfly valve for the urgency released valve.

  • The objective of the present work is to improve numerical predictions of unsteady turbulent swirling flows in the draft tubes of hydraulic power plants. We present Large Eddy Simulation (LES) results on a simplified draft tube consisting of a straight conical diffuser. The basis of LES is to solve the large scales of motion, which contain most of the energy, while the small scales are modeled. LES strategy is here preferred to the average equations strategies (RANS models) because it resolves directly the most energetic part of the turbulent flow. LES is now recognized as a powerful tool to simulate real applications in several engineering fields which are more and more frequently found. However, the cost of large-eddy simulations of wall bounded flows is still expensive. Bypass methods are investigated to perform high-Reynolds-number LES at a reasonable cost. In this study, computations at a Reynolds number about 2 $10^5$ are presented. This study presents the result of a new near-wall model for turbulent boundary layer taking into account the streamwise pressure gradient (adverse or favorable). Validations are made based on simple channel flow, without any pressure gradient and on the data base ERCOFTAC. The experiments carried out by Clausen et al. [1] reproduce the essential features of the complex flow and are used to develop and test closure models for such flows.

  • Sixty seven regular wave tests were performed in a wave-current flume to investigate proper-ties of waves breaking on irregular slope profiles. In these tests, 1/10, 1/20 beach slopes were made using angles and plywoods. A little differences were found in such properties as breaker depth and height indices. runup for plane slopes comparing with other laboratory experiments. however. for smaller deepwater wave steepness, measured breaker height and depth data values were smaller than other formulas. On wave runup agreement was good between experiments and Hunt formula. however. measured data values were influenced by number of breaking. Significant differences were found in breaker depth index for plane and barred slopes. Wave height decay after breaking was found to be smaller than Dally et al.'s formula (1984).

  • Check valve failure is one of the worst problems in nuclear power plants. Recently, many researches have been based on new technology using accelerometers and ultrasonic and magnetic flux detection have been carried out. Here, we have suggested a method that uses acoustic emission sensors for detecting the failures of check valves through measuring and analyzing backward leakage flow, a system that works without disassembling the check valve. For validating the suggested acoustic emission sensor methodology, we designed a hydraulic test loop with a check valve. We have assumed in this study that check valve failure is caused by disk wear or by the insertion of a foreign object. In addition, we have developed diagnostic algorithms by using a neural network model to identify the type and size of the failure in the check valve. Our results show that the proposed diagnostic algorithm with acoustic emission sensors is a good solution for identifying check valve failure without necessitating any disassembly work.

  • Recently, a new port reserves deep water depth for safe navigation and mooring, following the trend of larger ship building. Larger port facilities include long and huge breakwaters, and mainly adopt vertical type considering low construction cost. A vertical breakwater creates stem waves combining inclined incident waves and reflected waves, and this causes maneuvering difficulty to the passing vessels, and erosion of shoreline with additional damages to berthing facilities. Thus, in this study, the researchers have investigated the response of stem waves at the vertical breakwater near the entrance channel and applied numerical models, which are commonly used for the analysis of wave response at the harbor design. The basic equation composing models here adopted both the linear parabolic approximation adding the nonlinear dispersion relationship and nonlinear parabolic approximation adding a linear dispersion relationship. To analyze the applicability of both models, the research compared the numerical results with the existing hydraulic model results. The gap of serial breakwaters and aligned angles caused more complicated stem wave generation and secondary stem wave was found through the breakwater gap. Those analyzed results should be applied to ship handling simulation studies at the approaching channels, along with the mooring test.

  • 지진해일은 주기가 긴 파랑으로 방파제나 방호구조물에 의한 에너지 감소가 작은 특성이 있다. 또한, 범람구역의 구조물 밀집도 및 지형적 요인에 따라 범람영역, 침수심, 파력 등이 상이하게 나타나므로 유체흐름의 입체적 변화양상을 고려하여야 한다. 본 수리모형실험은 임원항을 대상으로 구조물에 작용하는 지진해일의 파력특성을 3차원수리모형실험을 통해 검토하고, 파력산정계수(${\alpha}$)를 제시한다. 3차원 수리모형실험은 1983년 동해 중부 지진해일 발생 시 국내에서 가장 큰 피해를 입은 임원항을 대상으로 배후부지의 구조물과 인근 해안의 지형을 1/100으로 재현하여 실험에 임하였다. 입사파랑은 고립파(solitary wave)로 재현하였으며, 천수(shoaling)에 의한 파고변화를 측정하고 그에 따른 배후부지의 침수심, 구조물에 작용하는 파력을 측정하였다. 분석된 파력 산정계수(${\alpha}$)는 임원항 인근 해역 및 배후부지의 방재대책 수립을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

  • 본 연구는 기후변화에 따른 돌발홍수 및 집중호우 대비 댐 및 저수지의 보조 여수로로서 국내 최초로 적용되는 Piano key weir에 대한 수리모형실험 연구이다. 최근 기후변화에 따른 이상기후로 국지성 집중호우 및 돌발홍수가 빈번히 발생하고, 댐 설계홍수량의 설계기준 200년 빈도 홍수량에서 가능최대홍수량(Probably Maximum Flood)으로 변경됨에 따라 과거 건설된 대부분의 댐 및 저수지들이 현재의 설계기준을 만족하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 상기 이유로 규모가 작은 저수용량 100만톤 이상의 댐들에 대해서도 비상대처계획(EAP) 수립을 의무화하고 있으나 홍수예방을 위한 적극적인 대책 수립 및 예산지원은 미미한 수준이다. 치수능력증대를 위한 구조적인 보강대책으로 댐 증고, 보조여수로 신설, 여수로 확장, 상류에 홍수조절용 댐 신설 등의 방안이 적용되고 있다. 본 연구의 대상지인 불갑저수지에서는 치수능력확대사업의 일환으로 Piano key weir와 수문 2련을 복합적으로 운영하는 보조여수로를 건설하는 것을 계획하였다. Piano key weir는 국내에서는 프랑스, 벨기에, 베트남 등에서는 실제 많은 적용사례를 확인할 수 있지만, 국내에서는 처음으로 도입되는 여수로 형식으로 레버런스 웨어와 같이 월류언의 길이를 길게 연장함으로서 월류 수심이 낮은 경우에 일반적인 웨어 형식에 비해 많은 유량을 통수할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 불갑저수지에 신설되는 Piano key weir 형식의 보조여수로에 대한 수리모형실험을 수행하여 Piano key weir의 수위별 방류량, 접근흐름, 월류 유황 등에 대해 검토하였다. 검토결과, PMF홍수량에 대해 충분한 방류가 가능함을 확인하였으며, 접근흐름, 월류 유황이 매우 안정적인 것으로 평가되었다.

  • In this study, a series of laboratory experiments are carried out to analyze fluid behaviors around multi-arranged (2 pieces) floating breakwaters with various parameters such as distance between structures, wave periods and steepness. The rate of wave transmission is shown to be affected directly by wave periods of incident waves and the breakwaters with multi-arranged structures show the highest rate of wave protection compared with other cases. The velocity fields around the breakwaters are measured by using the Laser Doppler Velocimetry system. The transmission coefficients are also measured in laboratory experiments. Finally, laboratory observed data are compared with numerical experimental results and analyzed in detail.

  • Subsea power cables are subjected to various external loads induced by environmental and mechanical factors during manufacturing, shipping, and installation. Therefore, the prediction of the structural strength is essential. In this study, experimental and theoretical analyses were performed to investigate the axial stiffness of subsea power cables. A uniaxial tensile test of a 6.5 m three-core AC inter-array subsea power cable was carried out using a 10 MN hydraulic actuator. In addition, the resultant force was measured as a function of displacement. The theoretical model proposed by Witz and Tan (1992) was used to numerically predict the axial stiffness of the specimen. The Newton-Raphson method was employed to solve the governing equation in the theoretical analysis. A comparison of the experimental and theoretical results for axial stiffness revealed satisfactory agreement. In addition, the predicted axial stiffness was linear notwithstanding the nonlinear geometry of the subsea power cable or the nonlinearity of the governing equation. The feasibility of both experimental and theoretical framework for predicting the axial stiffness of subsea power cables was validated. Nevertheless, the need for further numerical study using the finite element method to validate the framework is acknowledged.

  • A phenomenological study on CHF in a bilaterally heated annulus with equal heat flux on both sides was experimentally performed. The working fluid of the present test was R-134a. Variation characteristics of CHF and transition of CHF occurrence location were investigated under different pressure, mass flux and quality conditions. With the increase of critical thermodynamic quality, it was found that CHF first occurred on the outer surface of the annulus, then simultaneously occurred on both sides, and finally occurred on the inner surface at relatively high critical quality. After the CHF location transitioned to the inner rod, the sharp fall of CHF in the limiting critical quality region was observed. The critical quality corresponding to the CHF location transition decreased with the increase of mass flux and pressure. Besides, CHF in tube, internally heated, externally heated and bilaterally heated annuli were compared under the same hydraulic diameter conditions. The present study is conducive to improving the understanding of complicated CHF mechanism in bilaterally heated annulus, enriching the experimental database, and providing evidence for developing accurate CHF mechanism model for annuli.
