The concentration of cohesive suspended sediment is determined by the circulation of water and the material dispersion. The equations of the two-dimensional, depth-integrated dispersive transport are the Reynolds equation, continuity equation, and advection-dispersion equation based on the Fick's law. A finite difference method has been applied to two models of circulation and dispersion transport. The circulation model is solved by the explicit scheme and the dispersion transport model is solved by multi-operational scheme. It is investigated wheter advective terms are included when the equation of circulation is applied to the model. For advection-dispersion equation, it was also investigated about variations of suspended sediment concentration with respect to the critical shear stresses.

Two-phase flow is frequently observed in many industries such as nuclear power plants and oil transportation. Two-phase flow regime depends on the flow rates, the fluid properties and the structure of flow channels. Since the identification of the flow regime is of great importance in the system design and the safety analysis, a number of theoretical and experimental investigations have been performed. This paper presents a basic research on the characteristics of each flow regime and transition boundary in the two-phase flows. The flow regime of the upward air-water flow in the vertical tube, 30 mm in the inner diameter, is distinguished by using the high-speed camera and the Wire-mesh sensor(WMS). The identified experimental data are compared with the flow regime maps proposed by Taitel et al, Mishima and Ishii. Even though there is slight difference in the transition boundary, the experimental data show general agreement with these flow regime maps.

This paper introduces a non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH for simulating wave interactions with porous structures. This model calculates the flow in porous media based on volume-averaged Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (VARANS) in ${\sigma}$-coordinate. The empirical coefficients of resistance used to account for the flow in a porous media often need to be measured or calibrated. In this study, the empirical resistance coefficients used in the model are calibrated and validated using laboratory experiments, involving dam-break flow through porous media, and solitary wave interactions with a porous structure. It is shown that the agreement between experimental and numerical results is generally satisfactory. It is also confirmed that non-hydrodynamic model, SWASH, is computationally much more efficient than the three-dimensional porous flow models based on VOF approach.

샌드댐은 하천 또는 계곡에 보를 설치하여 저류공간을 확보하고 여기에 공극이 큰 모래를 인위적으로 채우거나 상류에서 공급된 토사로 자연적으로 채워지게 한 취수구조물로서 아프리카 등 건조지역에서 물공급 시설로 활용되고 있다. 국내에서는 아직까지 이와 같은 샌드댐 축조 사례는 없지만, 토사유출저감을 위해 설치한 사방댐을 개조하여 취수원으로도 활용하거나 산간 계곡 인근 지중에 차수벽을 설치하여 모래저류조 형태의 물공급 시설을 운영하고 있는 곳이 일부 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 춘천시 북산면 물로리에 실제로 위치한 지중저류조를 대상으로 물수요량을 만족시키는 지를 지하수 유동모델링을 통해 평가하였고, 증가하는 물수요와 가뭄시 물공급 능력 증대를 위한 저류조의 규모 확대 등 구조적 개선 방안을 제시하였다.

In the unlikely of nuclear reactor meltdown, the leaked core melt or corium must be contained in a device called core-catcher so that the corium can be cooled and stabilized. The ex-vessel behavior of corium involves complex physical and chemical mechanisms of flow propagation, heat transfer, and reactions with sacrificial substrates. In this study, the detailed characteristics of corium flow and heat transfer were investigated by using a commercial CFD code for VULCANO VE-U7 test reported in the literature. The volume-of-fluid (VOF) model was used to predict the interfacial surface formation of corium and the surrounding air, and the discrete ordinate model was adopted to calculate radiation between corium and the surroundings. It was found that cooling via radiation through the top surface of corium had a dominant effect on the temperature and viscosity profiles at the front of the corium flow.

The validity of friction factor theory, based upon conventional-sized passages for microchannel flows, is an active area of research. The high surface to volume ratio of a microchannel offers many advantages over macroscale devices and processes. This study focused on the laminar flow (16$161{\mu}m$ to $664{\mu}m$ for single-phase liquid flow. A controllable syringe pump was used to provide flow while a differential pressure transducer was used to record the pressure drop. These results demonstrated that a 3D printer can drastically simplify custom microchannel fabrication and still support complex features, which are typically only accessible with advanced fabrication techniques.

The amount of generated Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion ash (CFBC ash) is annually increasing, but most CFBC ash has been landfilled and discarded due to the limited utilization. The major chemical compositions of CFBC ash are $SiO_2$, CaO and $CaSO_4$, which could form hydration products by reacting with water as self-cementing property such as cement. The purpose of the this study is to derive the optimal mix proportions to improve polymer-modified mortar with the use of CFBC ash which has the self-cementing property. In order to develop polymer-modified mortar, three mix proportions were determined, and fundamental properties for the mixtures were obtained. As a result, the optimal mixture containing 10 percent of silica fume, 1.0 percent of polymer and 3.5 percent of expansive additives were proposed in this study.

최근 울진 1,2호기의 급정지 제어봉 E.C.T(Eddy Current Test) 결과 Fretting Wear가 심한 것이 관찰되었다. 이는 유동유발 진동에 의해 제어봉과 그 지지물 간의 접촉으로 인한 손상이 주요인으로 추정되고 있다. 제어봉 손상은 제어봉 교체로 인한 비용뿐만 아니라 마모금속의 방사화로 인한 냉각재의 오염을 수반한다. 따라서 본 연구는 원자로의 유동유발진동을 선별하여 파손 위치 및 형태, 유동조건, 제어봉과 안내관의 기하학적 구조 등을 분석한 결과 지배적인 손상원인을 Turbulence Excitation과 Fluidelastic Instability로 선정하였다. 특히 안내관내의 6번째 card 위치에서 발생하는 높은 마모현상이 난류도 증가에 의한 손상임을 제시하였다

교량의 케이블이나 송전선같은 원형 구조물들은 유동의 불안정성에 의해 물체 후방에 Vortex가 발생한다. 이렇게 발생한 Vortex는 구조물에 진동과 소음을 발생시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 원형 구조물들의 배열에 따른 해석을 진행하였다. 같은 크기의 두 원형 실린더를 주 유동 방향으로 정렬시킨 배열을 EDISON 전산열유체 시스템을 이용하여 해석하였다. 두 원형 실린더의 중심의 거리를 1.5 D부터 5 D까지 변화시켜가며 거리에 따른 각 실린더의 Drag coefficient에 초점을 맞추어 연구를 진행하였다. 두 원형 실린더 사이의 거리가 감소할수록 후류 쪽에 위치한 실린더의 Drag coefficient의 값이 감소하는 양상을 보였다.

Recently, there have been many construction projects on soft ground with growth of industry and economy. Therefore foundation piles of abutments and(or) buildings had been suffering from a lot of stability problems of inordinary displacement due to lateral flow of soft ground. Although many researches about lateral flow have been carried out, it is still difficult to assess the mechanism of lateral flow in soft ground quantitatively. And reasonable design method for judgement of lateral flow occurrence in soft ground is not established yet. In this study, six PNN (Probabilistic Neural Network) models were developed according to input variables and database compiled from Korea and Japan for the judgment of lateral flow occurrence. PNN models were compared with present empirical methods. It was found that the developed PNN models can give more precise and reliable judgment of lateral flow occurrence than empirical methods.
