Particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) is introduced and applied to the fall-velocity measurement. The fall velocities of sediment particles were measured using PTV in the still water and compared with the values presented in the existing literature. Comparison shows that PTV measures the fall velocities accurately. This result enables the measurement of fall velocity in the turbulent flows, which was not possible with conventional methods.

The powder properties and sinterability of ZrO2-8m/o Y2O3 prepared by coprecipitation were investigated. The specific surface area and the total pore volume were increased with increasing pH of sediment and using of ethyl alcohol for washing. The powders of prepared by freeze drying method were showed the smallest particle size and lowest agglomerate rate, and the powders obtained from spray drying method were showed porous structure. At 130$0^{\circ}C$, their relative density were 94-96%, so these sintered bodies have revealed high sinterability in spite of low sintering temperature.

We evaluated the quality characteristics of adzuki bean sediment according to variety. The moisture, crude protein, and crude ash contents of the various adzuki bean varieties were 8.2~11.1, 15.4~20.6 and 3.3~3.6 g/100 g, respectively. The potassium contents of Chilbo-pat (CB) and Hongeon-pat (HE) were 875.1 and 873.1 mg/100 g, respectively. The calcium contents of Jungbu-pat (JB) and Kumsil-pat (KS)were 73.6 and 73.2 mg/100 g, respectively. A high level of magnesium (131.4 mg/100 g) was found in Yeonkeum-pat (YK). The yields of adzuki bean sediment according to variety were no different either wet (188.3~204.7%) or dry (62.1~66.0%). The L-values on sediment of YK and KS were 67.0 and 68.0, respectively; however, the CB L-value was low at 54.0. A high level of a- (6.6) and b-value (12.8) was found in YK; however, the values for CB were much lower at 3.8 and 5.9, respectively. There was no difference in particle-size distribution, water binding capacity, and solubility of adzuki bean sediment according to variety. High levels of peak (3.79 RVU), trough (3.75 RVU), final (7.33 RVU), and setback viscosity (3.54 RVU) were found in JB. The sensory properties of products in food processing are important, and the variety of adzuki bean sediment should be chosen depending on desired product characteristics.

Grain size distributions of sediment samples were analyzed by the different methods, and the results were compared. Reported data of the bottom sediments from the Korean seas show significant deviations among the institutes, and the inter-lab comparison and calibration procedures are considered to be necessary. Grain size data by different methods show different results. Laser diffraction method provides good precision in replicate analysis, but underestimates the amounts of finer (smaller than 2-3 ${\mu}m$) fraction. Data from particle settling method, on the other hand, represent significant errors in the coarse silt (5-6 ${\phi}$) fraction, and slightly overestimate the clay fraction. In the sieve and pipette methods, best results were taken in 0.5 ${\phi}$ interval of analysis. Especially in the coarse silt fraction, pipette analysis is suggested to be made with 0.5 ${\phi}$ interval. During the dry sieving procedure in 1 ${\phi}$ interval, serious errors occur when large amounts of sample materials were concentrated in a particular sieve.

In order to recycle sewage dredging soil, we analyzed particle size distribution and organic content of dredged sewage sediments. Based on this, it was determined that particles with relatively low organic content of 1.0 mm or more could be recycled as fine aggregate. Although it was inorganic at the size of 5 mm or more, it contained a number of foreign substances other than fine aggregate, which were needed to be removed with a sieve. Since there are volatile suspended solids between 1.0 and 5.0 mm size, they were removed by means of flotation. Fine aggregate was obtained from dredging soil by screening followed with flotation method, and the proportion of fine aggregate obtained in this study was around 38 %.

In this study, physico-chemical properties and pollution degree of surface sediments collected at 5 stations(S1~S5) of Incheon H wharf in March 2014 were investigated. From particle size, surface area, XRD and XRF analyses, the sediment samples consisted of similar oxides and minerals. Considering total score of COD, AVS and IL, pollution level ranged between 2 and 3 based on domestic standards. In case of heavy metal contamination, Cd, Ni and Pb were classified as moderately polluted by USEPA standards. However, Cu, Zn and Cr were classified as heavily polluted. With geoaccumulation index value($I_{geo}$), Cd contamination was estimated as class 3. In addition, the calculated enrichment factors of Cd, Pb and Zn were exceeded a value of 1. Site S4 was high as 3.1 in total enrichment factor.

하천에서 주로 부유사의 형태로 이송되는 유사는 크게 점착성 유사와 비점착성 유사로 구분된다. 입자의 크기가 약 $63{\mu}m$이하인 유사는 입자 표면의 전자기적 점착력의 영향이 우세하여 유사입자들은 지속적인 응집현상을 겪는다. 응집 현상을 통해 유사의 가장 단위인 일차입자(Primary Particle)들은 하나의 커다란 덩어리인 플럭(Floc)을 형성한다. 응집현상이 중요한 이유는 형성된 플럭의 크기 및 밀도가 끊임없이 변화하는 데 있다. 크기와 밀도의 지속적인 변화로 인하여 유사의 부유에 직접적으로 관계하는 침강속도가 변화한다. 우리나라의 금강 및 낙동강의 하구는 점착성 유사가 지배적인 환경으로, 하구에서의 유사 이동을 살펴보기 위해서는 흐름 방향 및 연직방향으로의 흐름 특성(Hydrodynamics)변화와 응집 모형을 통한 응집 현상의 고려가 필수적이다. 이에따라, 본 연구에서는 흐름 방향 및 연직방향으로의 2차원 점착성 유사 이동모형에 관한 개념적 틀(Framework)을 제시한다. 2차원 점착성 유사 이동 모형의 개념적 틀은 기존의 1차원 연직 점착성 유사 이동 모형을 근간으로 한다. 모형에서 흐름을 구성하는 지배 방정식은 오일러-오일러 이상방정식(Eulerian-Eulerian Two-Phase Equation)을 통해 얻는다. 유사상(Sediment Phase, Dispersed Phase)와 유체상(Fluid Phase, Continuous Phase)는 혼합물 이론(Mxiture Theory)를 통해 하나의 혼합물 상(Mixture Phase)의 지배방정식으로 대표된다. 난류의 계산은 와점성 모형 중 -${\varepsilon}$모형을 통해 수행되며, 부유사의 농도는 유사의 이송-확산 방정식을 통해 모의된다. 입력된 흐름 조건을 따라 초기 흐름이 모의되면, 유체 내에서 시간에 따른 플럭의 크기가 계산된다. 플럭의 크기가 계산되는 과정에서 밀도와 침강 속도가 계산되며, 그 이후에 유체 내 유사의 농도가 계산된다. 난류 모의가 수행되고 난 이후에, 유속이 재계산 된다. 이러한 과정을 통해 흐름 방향 및 연직 방향으로의 유사 이동 모의가 가능한 2차원 점착성 유사 이동 모형이 개발될 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.

To investigate the characteristics of sand sediment topography in the Yeonggwang coastal area of Chonnam and to collect evidence of the past extreme events causing coastal flooding, three sites were surveyed among the sediments of Baeksoo-eup Hassari. In this study, the changes of particle characteristics, chemical composition, and the age of deposition of sediments were investigated. The sediments near Baeksoonam Elementary School at the elevation of 10m near the paleo-coastline are estimated to have been deposited at about 3,400 years ago and the grain size of the upper part of the sandy layer is in the range of $2.47-2.11{\varphi}$. The burial age of the sediment layer at Sadeung junction(BSN-B) was about 100 years. Considering the distance from the current coastline, the sands forming the dune are estimated to have been moved or deposited from the nearby area or the other dune on the front side. The mean grain size is observed to be fining upward. Especially, the mean of the upper part is about $2.3{\varphi}$, which is similar to other survey points. The averaged grain size of the lower part of the BSNC (Hasari-1 Gu) was $2.196{\varphi}$ and the upper part was $2.16{\varphi}$. The sorting showed that the upper part was slightly poorer than the lower, and it was difficult to specify the change of the environment. The burial age of the lower layer, which contains shells, was about 300 years. Considering previous studies, this shell layer is presumed to have formed by coastal flooding, such as a storm surge.

Particle fluxes were measured with a time-series sediment trap from July 2003 to June 2005 at the St. KOMO(KOMO; Korea Deep-Sea Environmental Study Long-Term Monitoring Station, $10^{\circ}30'N,\;131^{\circ}20'W$) in the northeastern Pacific. Total mass fluxes at a depth of 4,960 m showed distinct seasonal variations with high values in the winter(December-February) and spring(March-May) and low values in the summer(June-August) and fall(September-November). Biogenic origin fluxes also displayed distinct seasonal variations similar to total mass fluxes. Particularly, calcium carbonate fluxes in winter and spring were more than two times greater than those in summer and fall. The prominent seasonal variations of total mass and biogenic fluxes were closely related with the seasonal changes of primary production in the surface waters; in winter and spring, primary production increased due to the enhanced supply of nutrients below the surface mixed layer by strong wind and less stratification, whereas it decreased as a result of the less supply of nutrient by reduced wind speed and strong stratification in summer and fall. The seasonal variations of total mass and biogenic fluxes in this study were higher than the differences of total mass and biogenic fluxes caused by the environmental changes such as El $Ni\tilde{n}o$ and La $Ni\tilde{n}a$ events in the previous studies. In order to understand the effects of El $Ni\tilde{n}o$ and La $Ni\tilde{n}a$ on the particle flux, therefore, the seasonal variation of particle flux in the northeastern equatorial Pacific needs to be well defined.
