Labyrinth weir is a hydraulic structure that can maintain constant water depth and increase overflow rate by increasing overflow width of weir through complicated displacement of its cross section. The labyrinth weir can be widely applied to various hydraulic facilities such as dam spillway, irrigation facilities, and canal structures. To date, however, few labyrinth weirs were applied to hydraulic facilities in Korea. Hence, in-depth research on labyrinth weir is highly required to efficiently apply the labyrinth weir to hydraulic facilities. This study was performed to analyze the hydraulic characteristics according to triangle labyrinth weir using hydraulic model experiments. The hydraulic characteristics provided in this study, which make it feasible to increase the overflow rate, and are expected to be widely applied to design of hydraulic facilities such as dam spillway and irrigation system.

최근 들어 지구 온난화 및 이상기후 현상에 의해 전 세계적으로 국지성 호우가 빈번히 발생되어 댐과 같은 수공구조물의 월류량 증대를 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 외국에서는 이러한 월류량 증대를 위해 Labyrinth 위어를 이용하고 있다. 또한 labyrinth 위어는 이외에 수질개선 및 수심유지 효과가 있다. Labyrinth 위어는 평면상의 단면 형상이 직선이 아닌 위어로 정의된다. 본 연구에서는 실무에서 가장 많이 이용되고 있는 사다리꼴 labyrinth 위어의 유량특성을 분석하여 월류량 증대효과를 분석하고자 한다. labyrinth 위어의 복잡한 흐름현상을 구현하기 위해 수리모형실험을 수행하였다. 수리모형실험은 사다리꼴 labyrinth 위어의 다양한 형상을 고려하기 위해 벽체와의 사이 각($\alpha$)을 $6^{\circ}$, $8^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $25^{\circ}$, $35^{\circ}$로 적용하였다. 또한, 수리모형실험에서 수심 변화는 전수두와 위어 높이의 비를 0.05에서 0.75범위로 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 수리모형실험 결과를 유량비와 유량계수 곡선을 이용하여 월류량 증대효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 사다리꼴 labyrinth 위어의 유량비는 $\alpha$가 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 전수두 비($H_t/P$)가 증가할수록 작아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 즉, 일반 선형 위어보다 월류량 증대하는 효과가 낮은 전수두 비에서 발생하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 월류량 증대를 위한 수공구조물 설계의 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것이다. 향후, 유량계수를 예측하는 관련 식이나 기법을 개발하여 효과적으로 labyirnth 위어의 유량을 산정할 수 있을 것이다.

Labyrinth 위어는 평면상의 단면 형상이 직선이 아닌 위어로 정의된다. 이러한 labyrinth 위어는 월류량 증대, 수질개선, 수심유지 효과가 필요한 수공구조물에 이용되고 있다. 특히, labyrinth 위어의 수심유지 효과는 운하 및 하천에 적용될 경우, 관련 수공구조물의 수심 확보 측면에서 기여할 수 있다. 또한, 향후 운하 및 주운에 관심이 증대되고 있어 연구 가치가 충분하다. 본 연구에서는 주로 실무에서 이용되고 있는 사다리꼴 형상의 labyrinth 위어의 접근 수심변화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 복잡한 labyrinth 위어의 흐름현상을 고려하기 위해 수리모형실험을 실시하여 분석하였다. 수리모형실험 조건은 labyrinth 위어의 다양한 형상을 고려하기 위해 벽체와의 사이 각($\alpha$)을 $6^{\circ}$, $8^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $25^{\circ}$, $35^{\circ}$로 적용하였다. 또한, 수리모형실험에서 수심 변화는 전수두와 위어 높이비를 0.05에서 0.75범위로 수행하였다. 본 연구의 실험조건에서 연구된 결과, 사다리꼴 labyrinth 위어의 수심유지 효과는 일반 선형 위어에 비해 길게 나타났으며, 수심유지효과의 범위를 제시하였다. 이러한 결과는 수심 확보가 필요한 수공구조물의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다. 향후 연구가 더 진행된다면, 수심유지 효과를 효과적으로 예측할 수 있는 관련 식이나 기법을 개발할 수 있다.

In contemporary society, Labyrinth and maze are used with the same meaning. They are also used by translating various meanings. But labyrinth and maze are exactly different meaning. The purpose of this study is to inquire about difference for understanding essential meaning between labyrinth and maze. First of all, this study is to grasp composition principles and the characteristics of space through example of labyrinth and maze from ancient to contemporary, prescribe about essential meaning between labyrinth and maze and examine contemporary architecture which is fit for essential meaning. As compositional Principle in labyrinth and maze applied to comtemporary architecture, the labyrinth are centrality, property of one-sideness, determinable space, on the contrary the maze are out of centrality, property of multi-sideness, indeterminable space. Finally, The aim of this paper is analyze exhibition space that suit to the characteristics of composition principle and find the characteristics in labyrinth and maze. Examples of exhibition space are Aldo Van Eyck's 'Sculpture Pavilion', Kazuyo Sejima's '21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art', Ben van berkel's'Museum Het Valkhof'. These research we studied the visitor's circulation and the architectural structure in exhibition space with the spatial characteristics and the compositional principle in labyrinth and maze.

In this study, the numerical study has carried out to analyze the leakage in a steam turbine labyrinth seal. We modified tooth shape of the labyrinth seal and finds out difference of leakage in this study. Original model is straight labyrinth seal and its modified model is slant labyrinth seal. The numerical analyses are implemented on two models. The numerical results show that each leakage of tooth shape are found 0.4781 kg/s and 0.4485 kg/s, respectively. Slant labyrinth seal seals in a steam better than straight labyrinth seal. Since, actual clearance of the stream function in the slant model is smaller than the straight model.

Labyrinth seal is most common way to protect the bearings installed in Reaction wheel. In spite of wide applications, no such research was found about the sealing utility of the Labyrinth seal in the condition of vacuum and high temperature. In this research, we tried to verify the utility of Labyrinth seal. Numerical analysis had been executed to predict the benefit of the Labyrinth seal and also experiments were performed to verify the utilization. Two Bearings were installed at the vacuum chamber, one was assembled with Labyrinth seal and the other was stand alone. After executing the vacuum test, it was found to be the stand alone bearing had lost more weight than the one that was assembled with the labyrinth seal. In this result, it is verified that the Labyrinth seal has useful function to preserve the lubricant that affects to the life-cycle of the Bearing.

The governing equations are derived for the analysis of a stepped labyrinth gas seal generally used in high performance compressors, gas turbines, and steam turbines. The bulk-flow is assumed for a single cavity control volume set up in a stepped labyrinth cavity and the flow is assumed to be completely turbulent in the circumferential direction. The Moodys wall-friction-factor model is used for the calculation of wall shear stresses in the single cavity control volume. For the reaction force developed by the stepped labyrinth gas seal, linearized zeroth-order and first-order perturbation equations are developed for small motion about a centered position. Integration of the resultant first-order pressure distribution along and around the seal defines the rotordynamic coefficients of the stepped labyrinth gas seal. The resulting leakage and rotordynamic characteristics of the stepped labyrinth gas seal are presented and compared with Scharrers theoretical analysis using Blasius wall-friction-factor model. The present analysis shows a good qualitative agreement of leakage characteristics with Scharrers analysis, but underpredicts by about 20%. For the rotordynamic coefficients, the present analysis generally yields smaller predictied values compared with Scharrers analysis.

An experimental investigation on the leakage characteristics of a labyrinth seal, high-low seal, is studied. Pressure distribution and leakage flow rate are measured along with the shaft speed and the pressure difference between the entrance and the exit. Pressure distribution vanes almost linearly along the seal and the leakage flow rate increases as the increase of the pressure difference. Furthermore, it is found that both the shaft speed and the shaft vibration have no influence on the leakage of the labyrinth seal.

Governing equations and numerical solution methods are derived for the analysis of a combination-type-staggered-labyrinth seal used in high performance steam turbines. A bulk flow is assumed for each combination-type-staggered-labyrinth cavity. Axial flow through a throttling labyrinth strip is determined by Neumann's leakage equation and circumferential flow is assumed to be completely turbulent in the labyrinth cavity. Moody's wall-friction-factor formula is used for the calculation of wall shear stresses. For the reaction force developed by the seal, linearized zeroth-order and first-order perturbation equations are developed for small motion near the centered position. Integration of the resultant first-order pressure distribution along and around the seal defines the rotordynamic coefficients of the combination-type-staggered-labyrinth seal. Theoretical results of leakage and rotordynamic characteristics for the IP4-stage seal of USC (ultra super critical) steam turbine are shown with the effect of sump pressure, the number of throttling labyrinth strip, and rotor speed.
