Liquid fossil fuel contaminated by water can cause trouble in the combustion processes and affect the endurance of a combustion system. Using an optical sensor to monitor the water content instantaneously in a fuel pipeline is an effective means of controlling the fuel quality in a combustion system. In two component liquid flows of oil and water, the flow pattern and characteristics of water droplets are changed with various flow conditions. Additionally, the light scattering of the optical sensor measuring the water content is also dependent on the flow patterns and droplet characteristics. Therefore, it is important to investigate the detailed behavior of water droplets in the pipeline of the fuel transportation system. In this study, the flow patterns and characteristics of water droplets in the turbulent pipe flow of two component liquids of gasoline and water were investigated using optical measurements. The dispersion of water droplets in the gasoline flow was visualized, and the size and velocity distributions of water droplets were simultaneously measured by the phase Doppler technique. The Reynolds number of the gasoline pipe flow varied in the range of $4{\times}10^{4}\;to\;1{\times}10^{3}$, and the water content varied in the range of 50 ppm to 300 ppm. The water droplets were spherical and dispersed homogeneously in all variables of this experiment. The velocity of water droplets was not dependent on the droplet size and the mean velocity of droplets was equal to that of the gasoline flow. The mean diameter of water droplets decreased and the number density increased with the Reynolds number of the gasoline flow.

Costal regions in Korea often suffer severe damages due to wave-induced disasters, storm surge disasters and so on. therefore, many engineers and researchers have devoted their energy to prevent these costal disasters. The development of artificial reefs including sunken vessels is one of their remarkable achievements and various kind of these artificial upwelling structures have been designed and applied. However, the flow characteristics around a Tetrapod under the water has not been investigated experimentally. So in this article, in uniform flow of circulating water channel and some different velocities, PIV measurement has been conducted on the flow characteristics behind a Tetrapod. The results were analyzed on the flow characteristics of both cases of a Tetrapod. Therefore, it can be concluded that the both cases have its own distinctive flow characteristics behind the bluff body; Case A has an steep upstream flow pattern. On the contrary, Case B has an developed downstream flow pattern in the near wake of the Tetrapod. The velocity gradient at position x=150mm of Case-A appears gently up and down But, the velocity gradient at the same position of Case-B appears better highly up and down.

하천 유량관측은 수자원의 관리를 위해 활용되는 기초적이고 대표적인 자료로 하천에서 정확한 유량을 관측하는 것은 중요하다. 따라서 최근에는 다양한 첨단 장비들이 개발되어 전통적인 하천의 유량관측을 대체하거나 보완하고 있다. 여러 최신 장비들 중 전자파표면유속계는 홍수기와 같이 하천에 접근하여 직접유량계측이 위험하고 정확도 확보가 어려울 경우전자파를 이용하여 비접촉식으로 유량을 계측하는 장비로 홍수기 및 평갈수기에도 하천 유량계측에 활용되기 시작하였다. 전자파표면유속계는 사용법이 간단하고 간접적으로 유속을 측정하기 때문에 기존의 직접측정 방법에 비해 안전한 장점이 있어 현재 국내에서는 홍수기 또는 접근이 어려운 하천의 유속 측정을 위해 사용되고 있다. 국내에서는 1993년 유량측정 장치 개발을 위해 전자파표면유속계(MWSCM; Microwave Water Surface Current Meter)를 개발을 연구를 수행하였고, 최근에는 국내에서 개발된 전자파표면유속계을 활용하여 유량측정을 위해 사용되고 있다. 하지만 국내에서 개발된 전자파표면유속계가 실제 하천에서 유속측정의 정확도에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 전자파표면유속계는 기기로부터 전자파를 이용해 유속을 측정하기 때문에 수직각과 편각과 같은 각도 변화에 따라 측정정확도가 바뀔 수 있고, 전자파표면유속계 본체에서 발사되는 전자파의 측정영역에 따라 유속측정에 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 개발 전자파표면유속계의 측정정확도를 분석하기 위해서 실제하천과 유사한 실규모 하천수로에서 수직각과 편각을 변화시키며 측정을 수행하여 수직각과 편각에 변화에 따른 유속측정 정확도를 분석하였다. 그리고 전자파표면유속계의 측정영역의 고려를 통해서 측정영역에 따른 유속측정결과를 분석하였다. 유속측정 결과를 통해서 수직각 15° 이하에서는 유속측정의 오차가 커지게 되는 것으로 나타났고, 편각이 커질수록 유속측정의 결과의 변동계수가 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 편각에 따른 오차의 영향은 전자파표면유속계의 측정영역에 따라 결과가 달라지는 것으로 나타났다.

A two-dimensional flow model is newly developed. Two-dimensional shallow-water equations are discretized by the finite volume method. A nonorthogonal coordinate system is then employed. The developed model is applied to simulations of flows in a 180 degree curved bend flow. Numerical prediction are compared to available laboratory measurement. A good agreement is observed.

Venturi meter is frequently used in feed water flow control system in a nuclear power plant. Its accurate measurement plays a vital role in the safe operation of the plant. This paper firstly investigates the influence of the length of each section of pipeline, the throat inner diameter of Venturi and the flow characteristics in a single-phase flow on the accuracy of Venturi measurement by numerical calculation. Then the flow and the accuracy are discussed in a multi-phase flow. Numerical results show that the geometrical parameters and the characteristics of complex turbulent flow in the single-phase flow have little impact on the accuracy of Venturi flow rate measurement. In the multi-phase flow, the calculated flow rate of Venturi deviated from the actual flow rate and this deviation value is closely related to the amount of steam in the pipeline and increases sharply with the increase of the amount of steam. The over-reading of Venturi flow rate is present.

This study investigates the effects of sediment on the flow characteristics such as velocity distribution, friction velocity, turbulent intensities, Reynolds stress, etc. Particle tracking velocimetry (PTY) is used to measure the vertical flow field. Results show that flow over the high bed-load concentration region has larger values of mean velocity and friction velocity and smaller values of turbulence intensities, compared to those for flow over the low bed-load concentration region.

최근 정부는 SOC디지털화 계획의 하나로 스마트 물관리 및 홍수 예방을 위해 배수시설 자동·원격제어체계를 국가하천 57%에 도입(1,800억원)하고 실시간 모니터링체계(300억원)를 구축하며, 댐 11개소에 빅데이터를 기반으로 한 스마트 댐 안전관리 체계(150억원)를 마련할 계획입니다. 이러한 스마트 물관리 및 홍수 예방을 위해서는 하천의 실시간 유속 측정을 통해 중간단면법을 적용하여 유량을 정확히 계산할 수 있는 시스템의 연구가 필요합니다. 이러한 시스템의 구현과 정확도를 높이기 위해서 가장 중요한 것은 실시간 유속 측정의 정확도를 확보하는 것입니다. 현재 실시간 유속 측정을 위해 미국, 유럽 등의 전자파 표면 유속 측정용 레이다 센서를 도입하여 시스템에 적용하고 있으나 고가의 가격, 유속 측정 범위의 한계 및 기술 지원 미흡 등의 문제로 인해 시스템의 개선 요구가 지속되고 있는 상황입니다. 따라서 실시간 유속 측정을 위한 전자파 표면 유속 측정용 레이다 센서를 자체 개발하여 개선된 유량 측정 및 홍수 예측 시스템을 제시하고자 합니다.

An experimental investigation was performed to study the characteristics of laminar water flow in a horizontal circular tube by using liquid crystal. A simultaneous measurement technique has been employed to measure the temperature field in a two-dimensional cross section of fluid flow. This study found the temperature distribution for Re =900~1,500 along longitudinal sections and the results appear to be physically reasonable. To determine some characteristics of the laminar flow, 2D PIV technique is employed for temperature measurement and liquid crystal is used for heat transfer experiments in water. The experimental rig was manufactured from an acryle tube. The test tube diameter of 25mm, and a length of 1200mm. The used algorithm is the gray level cross-correlation method by using Kimura et al. in 1986.
