The paper proposes a model-based measurement of unsteady flow rate by using distributed parameter pipeline model and the measured pressure values at two distant points along the pipeline. The distributed parameter model of hydraulic pipeline is applied with consideration of frequency dependent viscosity friction and unsteady velocity distribution at a cross section of a pipeline. By using the self-diagnostics functions of the measurement method, the validity is investigated by comparison with the measured and estimated pressure and flow rate wave forms at the halfway section on the pipeline. The results show good agreement between the estimated flow rate wave forms and theoretical those under unsteady laminar flow conditions. The method proposed here is useful in estimating unsteady flow rate through an arbitrary cross section in hydraulic pipeline and components without installing an instantaneous flowmeter.

The measurement of unsteady flow rate is of vital importance to clarify and improve the dynamic characteristics in pipeline, hydraulic components and system. There is also demand for a real time flow sensor of ability to measure unsteady flow rate with high accuracy and fast response to realize feedback control of flow rate in fluid power systems. In this paper, we propose an approach for estimating unsteady flow rate through a pipeline and components under high pressure condition. In the method, unsteady flow rate is estimated by using hydraulic pipeline dynamics and the measured pressure values at two distant points along the pipeline. The distributed parameter model of hydraulic pipeline is applied with consideration of frequency dependent viscosity friction and unsteady velocity distribution at a cross section of a pipeline. By using the self-checking functions of the method, the validity is investigated by comparison with the measured and estimated pressure waveforms at the halfway section on the pipeline. The results show good agreement between the estimated flow rate waveforms and theroetical those under unsteady laminar flow conditions. the method proposed here is useful in estimating unsteady flow rate through an arbitray cross section in hydraulic pipeline and components without installing an instantaneous flowmeter.

유량 측정을 위해 도섭법, 횡측선법 등의 인력에 의한 방법이 적용되고 있으나, 이는 야간 및 휴일 측정, 인력 부족 등 여러 제약으로 인해 고수위 홍수를 측정하는 데에 한계가 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 시공간적 제약이 없는 도플러 방식 초음파유속계(Acousitc Doppler Velocity Meter, ADVM)와 자동유속관측시스템(Portable Automatic Velocity Observation System; PAVOs)이 제안되었다. 이 방법들은 교량에 설치된 장치를 통해 실시간으로 유속이 계측되어 시공간적 제약이 없으며 홍수 관리에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 실시간으로 계측된 유속 데이터는 오·결측 값이 발생하며 ADVM의 경우 수위-유량관계식을 활용하는 등 전처리 방법이 활용되고 있지만 전자파표면유속계를 활용한 PAVOs 데이터의 전처리 방법에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PAVOs에서 실시간으로 계측된 유속 데이터의 전 처리 과정(Pre-processing)을 개발하였다. PAVOs를 통해 측정된 데이터는 5분 단위로 10개의 유속이 한번에 측정되며 비정상성(Non-stationary)인 특징을 가진다. 이 데이터의 전처리 과정으로 오·결측값에 대한 처리 및 보간법 적용 이후 10개 값 중 실제 유속을 판단하고 잡음제거(Denoising)를 수행하였다. 이를 강원도 홍천강에 위치한 홍천교에서 계측된 유속 데이터에 적용하였다. 그 결과 데이터의 상승부와 하강부에서 일정한 경향성을 파악할 수 있다. 이 데이터를 통해 산정한 유량과 실측 기반의 평균유속과 관계를 통해 계산한 유량을 비교해 보았을 때 낮은 편차율을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 전 처리 된 실시간 유속 데이터를 활용한다면 최고수위가 발생하였을 경우 홍수량을 산정할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 강우 또는 하천 공사에 의해 변동하는 수위-유량관계곡선식을 실시간으로 개발할 수 있을 것이며 이는 효과적인 홍수관리에 큰 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다.

Numerical analysis and experimental verification of a thermal liquid mass flow meter (LMFM) were performed. The configuration of the LMFM was the same as a gas mass flow meter (GMFM), but the opposite results in temperature difference between upstream and downstream thermistors occurred. In the case of the gas, the convection depending on the flow of thermal mass was small and comparable to the conduction through the sensor tube wall. The temperature difference was proportional to the mass flow rate due to their interaction. For the liquid flow, the convection overwhelmed the wall conduction because of the large flow of thermal mass caused by high density. The temperature difference in this case was inversely proportional to the mass flow rate. The tube diameter and heater wiring width are important design parameters, and the optimized sensor can be used to measure and control the infinitesimal liquid flow rate.

다목적댐의 홍수조절운영에 있어서 댐유입량은 직접 관측의 어려움과 오차로 인해 정확한 유량을 산정하는데 한계가 있다. 남강댐 유역의 경우 유역면적대비 과소한 저수용량으로 말미암아 급격한 홍수유입이 발생할 경우 유출률이 비정상적 수치를 보이는 경우가 종종 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 물리기반의 격자형 유출모형을 댐 직상류 잔유역에 적용하여 유출률을 산정 후 남강댐 계측유입량의 타당성을 간접적으로 검증할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하고자 한다. 댐유역에서 잔유역은 직상류 수위표지점 하류의 유역을 일컬으며, 이들 수위표지점에서 홍수시의 배수영향은 최소화될 만큼 이격되어 있고, 댐체 혹은 취수탑에 부착된 수위표와는 달리 기계적 진동의 영향이 최소화되어 있다고 가정한다면, 수위계측지점의 유량을 경계조건으로 활용하여 작은 면적에 대한 정밀한 수문학적 유출모델링을 통하여 비교적 신뢰성있는 유출값을 추정할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 남강댐 잔유역은 유역 내 산청, 신안, 창촌 수위관측소를 기준으로 상류의 유역을 제외한 부분으로 설정하였다. 본 연구에서는 210m 격자에 대하여 모든 입력자료를 가공하였으며, 입력자료 중 지형자료는 WAMIS에서 제공한 DEM, 토지피복도, 토양도를 활용하였다. 강우자료는 유역 내 위치한 25개 강우관측소의 시단위 강우자료를 활용하였고, 강우사상은 진주 기상관측소의 일우량 100mm 이상을 기준으로 총 8개의 강우사상을 선정하였다. 남강댐 유역의 유출률을 산정하기 위해 산청, 창촌, 신안 등 3개의 수위관측소의 관측유량을 경계조건으로 사용하였고, 모의된 수문곡선의 총유량과 첨두유량을 관측값과 비교하였다. 유출률을 산정하기 위한 기준시간은 강우시작부터 강우종료 후 48시간으로 설정하였다. 유출률은 강우사상별로 편차가 심한 특성을 보이고 있었으며, 전체적으로는 계측유량기준 106~39.1%의 유출률이 보정된 유량을 통해서는 85~33%의 유출률로서 계측유량이 전반적으로 과대추정 되는 경향이 있었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이들 중 2010년 7월 강우사상은 관측 유입량 기준 95.6%의 유출률을 보여, 추정유량 58.5%대비 상당한 과대추정 경향을 보인 사례로 판단할 수 있었다. 수문학적 유입량 추정방법은 현장계측을 대체할 수 있는 기법으로는 무리가 있으나 현장계측의 신뢰도를 평가하기 위한 목적으로는 유용한 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In liquid-fuel spray combustion, an experimental study was conducted to observe the effect of ultrasonic excitation on the ultrasonically-atomized liquid fuel flame by controlling pressure field through an ultrasonic standing wave. Flame of the ultrasonically-atomized kerosene aerosol was visualized by using a high speed camera, DSLR, and Schlieren photography. The amount of fuel consumed was obtained by a precise flow-rate measurement technique during combustion, through which the ratio of carrier gas (air) to fuel mass was able to be obtained, too. As a result, it could be found that the combustion reaction-rate of the liquid-fuel aerosol was increased by applying an ultrasonic standing wave to the secondary flame zone of the flame.

In hydraulic control system turbine and gear motor type flowmeters are widely used to measure the flow rate under steady flow conditions. With the recent growth of interest in the measurement of instantaneous values of unsteady flow rate the test of the transient response of these flowmeters are in some significance. however an unsteady flow rate mea-surment and its calibration method with a fast response and a high accuracy have not beendeveloped. In this research particularly the dynamic characteristics of turbine and gear motor type flowmeters are investigated experimentally and simple mathematical models are proposed. The measured flow rate waveforms are compared with those by remote instan-taneous flow rate measurement method(RIFM) which has been developed by author and used for calibration As the result of frequency response test gain and phase between the measured flow rate waveforms by turbine type flowmeter and those estimated by RIFM are in good agreement up to 70Hz For the gear motor type flowmeter th simulated results by a math-ematical model proposed here agree well with the experiment nearly up to 100Hz. Also it if sound that the pressure drop across the flowmeter is increased in proportion to the frequency of the flow rate variation in a high frequency region of more than 100Hz. It can be explained that the dealy of gear motor type flowmeter in high frequency regionis mainly attributed to a first order delay consisting of the inertia of gears and internal leakage of the gear motor.

Leakage in water distribution system causes social and economic losses by direct water loss into the ground, and additional energy demand for water supply. This research suggests a leak detection model of using adaptive Kalman filtering on real-time data of pipe flow. The proposed model takes into account hourly and daily variations of water demand. In addition, the model's prediction accuracy is improved by automatically calibrating the covariance of noise through innovation sequence. The adaptive Kalman filtering shows more accurate result than the existing Kalman method for virtual sine flow data. Then, the model is applied to data from two real district metered area in JE city. It is expected that the proposed model can be an effective tool for operating water supply system through detecting burst leakage and abnormal water usage.

Nowadays, the field hydraulic test is still an only method to evaluate groundwater characteristics in subsurface. The results of hydraulic test are very important for the concept model of fracture hydrogeology as well as the geometric pattern of fractures. The hydraulic tests performed in Korea are generally analysed under such assumption as steady radial flow in homogeneous aquifer or along simple geometry of fractures. Also the transmissivity measured in a fixed interval length is equivalent to a sum of individual fracture transmissivities in test legth. The boundary effects of weH hydraulics and the geometry of flow paths are hardly obtained from the test results analysed by a steady flow method. To circumvent this problem, the flow dimensional analysis was attempted from the results of constant pressure injection test carried out in a fractured granite area. A comparison of the hydraulic conductivity values from the transient and steady analysis shows that the latter is about a factor of 2~3 higher than the former. However, it was possible to analyse a flow dimension of each test interval from flow rate variation with time. The upper part of the bedrock(<10m deep) indicates an open boundary and the flow dimension shows nearly steady states, while the lower part of the bedrock(>25m deep) is characterized as sublinear flow dimension with a dosed boundary. In one of the test sections(15m deep), the flow dimension was changed from linear flow to spherical flow. From the experience of this study, one of the immediate problems to be solved is to enhance the field testing equipments, i.e., an accurate flowmeter with autorecording and a pressure detecting device to be able to install in the test section.
