River restoration or rehabilitation should be conducted in a way to maximize the channel stability with natural river configuration close to the equilibrium condition considering divers aspects of fluvial hydraulics, erosion and sedimentation, fluvial geomorphology, and ecological environment and to minimize the maintenance work. Therefore, the channel stability evaluation for present condition based on the equilibrium channel concept should be preceded for the river restoration project. Methods for equilibrium channel theory have generally been developed following either analytical regime theory or empirical regime theory. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the stability of present channel condition for the section of abandoned channel restoration in Cheongmi Stream using the Stable channel Analytical Model (SAM) and equilibrium hydraulic geometry equations. The results of analytical and empirical regime theories should provide fundamental and essential information to design the stable channel geometry. As a calculation result of Copeland's method for the study reach, the equilibrium channel has a narrower channel width, deeper water depth, and more gentle slope than the present channel geometry. As results of equilibrium hydraulic geometry equations, predicted equilibrium widths are less than the channel width in the field. It is represented that the current bed slope must be gentle to reach the equilibrium condition according to the results of Julien and Wargadalam method.

Petrov-Galerkin finite element model for analyzing dynamic wave equation is applied to gradually and rapidly varied unsteady flow. The model in verified by applying to hydraulic jump, nonlinear disturbance propagation in frictionless horizontal channel and dam-break analysis. It shows stable and accurate results compared with analytical solutions for various cases. The model in applied to a surge propagation in a frictionless horizontal channel. Three-dimensional water surface profiles show that the computed result converges to the analytical one with sharp discontinuity. The model is also applied to the Taehaw River to analyze unsteady floodwave propagation. The computed results have good agreements with those of DWOPER model in terms of discharge and stage hydrographs.

지금까지의 하천 설계는 하천의 유량, 유사량, 하상토 입도분포, 강턱의 입자 또는 하도 표면의 특성, 하곡의 경사 등을 고려하여 안정한 횡단면을 결정하기 위한 목적으로 발전되어 왔다. 하지만, 하천 복원에 있어서 이동 하상의 안정 하도 및 하천을 설계하는 작업은 수리학적, 하천 형태학적, 그리고 유사 수리학적 측면에서 매우 복잡한 문제들을 포함하고 있으며 더 나아가 다양한 생태서식처 및 환경을 제공할 수 있는 측면까지도 고려하도록 요구되어 지고 있다. 자연하천 복원 설계시 가장 선행되어야 할 작업은 복원하고자 하는 현재의 하천 및 하도의 안정성에 대한 평가이며 이러한 과정에서 평형 하천의 개념을 반드시 고려해야 한다. 안정하도 및 평형하천 형태를 계산하는 방법들이 여러 연구자들에 의해 제안되어 왔고 여러 해석적 방법들 중 Copeland의 방법은 실제로 충적하천에서의 안정 하도 평가 및 설계에 가장 많이 이용되고 있으며 미공병단에 의해 개발된 SAM(Stable Channel Analysis Model) 모형에서 채택하고 있는 해석적 방법 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 Copeland의 해석적 안정하도 분석 방법을 기본 모듈로 채택하고 있는 미공병단에서 개발한 SAM(Stable Channel Analysis Model)의 기본적인 특성과 활용도에 대해서 알아보고 이를 남한강 제1지류인 청미천의 구하도 복원 예정 구간에 적용시켜 현재하도의 안정성을 평가하였다. 분석 결과, 안정하도 경사는 현재 하도 경사보다 완만한 것으로 나타났으나 SAM에서 예측하고 있는 청미천의 안정 하폭은 현재 하도의 하폭보다 훨씬 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 현재 청미천의 복원 구간에서 사주가 많이 발생하는 이유를 뒷받침 하는 결과라고 할 수 있다. 안정수심은 현재 하도의 수심보다 깊은 것으로 계산되었다. SAM을 이용한 계산 결과들은 현재하도의 안정성 평가뿐만 아니라 복원 구간의 안정하도 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.

A parametric study is conducted for the design of segmented arc plasma torch with the input power and current of 0.4 MW and 300 A, respectively. For this purpose, we use the analytical relationship between input power, current condition, plasma temperature, inner diameter (R) and length (L) of the torch constrictor based on arc channel model. The results reveal that arc plasma temperatures increase monotonically as ��L increases or R decreases for the ranges of R ${\leq}$ 7.5 mm and L ${\leq}$ 1.25 m. For larger valuse of ��R and L than 7.5 mm and 1.25 m, respectively, however, they show non-linear behavior corresponding to the variations of ��L, which stands for the generation of unstable arc plasma. From this parametric study, optimum ranges of R and L are suggested as 5.5 mm ${\leq}$ R ${\leq}$ 7.5 mm and 0.25 m ${\leq}$ L ${\leq}$ 0.5 m for 0.4 MW class segmented arc plasma torch, under which stable arc plasma can be achieved at the input currents of ~300 A.

A parametric study is conducted for the segmented arc plasma torch with the input power and current of 0.4 MW and 300 A, respectively. For this purpose, we use the analytical relationship equations between plasma temperature, inner diameter (R) and length (L) of the torch constrictor at the given input power and current conditions based on the arc channel model. The results reveal that arc plasma temperatures show non-linear behavior or absence corresponding to the variations of L and R when their values become larger than 1.25 m and 7.5 mm, respectively. For L < 1.25 m and R < 7.5 mm, however, they can increase monotonically as L increase or R decrease when one of both parameters is fixed. From these parametric study results, optimum ranges of R and L are suggested as $5.5mm{\leq}R{\leq}7.0mm$ and $0.5m{\leq}L{\leq}1.0m$ for 0.4 MW class segmented arc plasma torch, under which stable arc plasma with the temperatures of ~15,000 K can be achived at the input currents of ~300 A.

The object of this study is to develop the model that solves the numerically difficult problems in hydraulic engineering and to demonstrate the applicability of this model by means of various test examples, such as, verification in the gradually varied unsteady condition, three steady flow problems with the change of bottom slope with exact solution, and frictional bed with analytical solution. The governing equation of this model is the integral form of the Saint-Venant equation satisfying the conservation laws, and finite volume method with the Riemann solver is used. The evaluation of the mass and momentum flux with the HLL Riemann approximate solver is executed. MUSCL-Hancock scheme is used to achieve the second order accuracy in space and time. This study introduce the new and simple technique to discretize the source terms of gravity and hydrostatic pressure force due to longitudinal width variation for the balance of quantity between nonlinear flux and source terms. The results show that the developed model's implementation is accurate, robust and highly stable in various flow conditions with source terms, and this model is reliable for one-dimensional applications in hydraulic engineering.
