In this study, to investigate the effect of cylindrical countermeasure on the flow characteristics of debris flow, a series of small-scale tests were conducted using a flume with cylindrical baffles. Various heights and row numbers of installed baffles were considered as a test condition. High speed cameras and laser level sensors were also installed at the top and side of the channel, respectively, to capture the debris flow dynamics before and after baffles. Based on test results, the energy dissipation of debris flow due to baffles was analyzed. Test results showed that baffles can significantly reduce the velocity and flow depth of debris flows. The energy dissipation effect of baffles also increase as the increase of height and row number of baffles.

최근 기후 변화에 따라 국내 하천은 급격한 유량 증가로 인해 하상의 변화에 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히, 홍수시 하상의 변화에 영향을 미치는 유량 및 유속, 하상재료의 종류 및 대표입경, 입자의 특성 등이 있으며, 이런 요인들은 하상재료의 유실에 영향력을 미치고 있다. 또한, 하상재료의 유실에 영향을 미치는 하상재료의 단위중량, 대표입경, 재료의 특성과 관련이 있으나, 현재 까지 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 하상재료의 한계조건에 영향을 미치는 관련된 연구는 국내에서 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 하상의 재료의 종류, 입자의 특성, 입자의 크기에 따라 재료가 가지는 한계 유속과 한계 소류력의 영향력을 파악하고자 진행하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 실험 수로는 인제대학교에서 개발한 무경사형 고속수로(Jung. 2019)는 수조 제원 가로 1.5 m, 세로 0.95 m, 높이 2.4 m, 수로는 개수로의 형태로 총 길이 10 m, 폭과 높이는 각각 0.3 m인 무경사 고속수로에서 진행되었으며, 사용된 재료는 일반 하천에서 사용되고 있는 모래, 황토를 이용하여 적정 비율을 섞어 시료를 제작하였다. 제작된 시료는 하천설계기준에 제시되어 있는 재료에 대한 등급을 비교했을시, 2-3등급 사이의 재료로 판단되며, 모래와 황토의 비율이 50:50 일때 입도 분포가 가장 좋은 재료로 나타났으며, 제작된 시료를 수로에 삽입하여 유하 전후를 수위센서를 통해 세굴율을 측정하였다. 세굴 측정시 모래 100%로 제작된 시료가 가장 많은 세굴이 일어났으며, 모래 25%, 황토 75%로 이루어진 시료가 가장 적은 세굴이 일어났다. 바이오폴리머의 강도 증진을 보기 위해 세굴이 가장 심하거나, 세굴이 적은 재료에 바이오 폴리머를 섞어 추가 실험을 진행 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 친환경적인 하상재료의 한계유속, 한계소류력에 대한 안정성평가를 진행하여 재료의 안전성에 대해 평가하고 기초자료로 기여하고자 한다.

In the high convective gas flow condition, irregular shaped water waves from which droplet entrainment occurs are generated under horizontally stratified two-phase flow condition. KAERI proposed a new mechanistic droplet entrainment model based on the momentum balance equation consisting of the shear stress, surface tension, and gravity forces. However, this model requires correlation or experimental data of several physical parameters related to the wave characteristics. In the present study, we tried to measure the physical parameters such as wave slope, wave hypotenuse length, wave velocity, wave frequency, and wavelength experimentally. For this, an experiment was conducted in the horizontal rectangular channel of which width, height, and length are, respectively, 40 mm, 50 mm, and 4.2 m. In the present test, the working fluids are chosen as air and water. The PIV technique was applied not only to obtain images for phase interface waves but also to measure the velocity field of the water flow. Additionally, we developed the parallel wire conductance probe for the confirmation of wave height from PIV image. Finally, we measured the physical parameters to be used in the validation of new droplet entrainment model.

The optical fiber cable acting as a sensor was embedded in the underground research tunnel and portal area in order to monitor their stability and the spatial temperature variation. This system includes two types of sensing function to monitor the distributed strain and temperature along the line, where sensor cable is installed, not a point sensing. According to the results of one year monitoring around the KURT, there is no significant displacement or movement at the tunnel wall and portal slope. However, it would be able to aware of some phenomena as an advance notice at the tunnel wall which indicates the fracturing in rockmass and shotcrete fragmentation before rock falls accidently as well as movement of earth slope. The measurement resolution for rock mass displacement is 1 mm per 1 m and it covers 30 km length with every 1m interval in minimum. In temperature, the cable measures the range of $-160{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ with $0.01^{\circ}C$ resolution according to the cable types. This means that it would be applicable to monitoring system for the safe operation of various kinds of facilities having static and/or dynamic characteristics, such as chemical plant, pipeline, rail, huge building, long and slim structures, bridge, subway and marine vessel. etc.

This study proposes a new method for automatic recording of snowfall by a mass unit which is required in weather forecast and hydrology research. In this method the weight of a buoyancy bar submerged in a liquid is measured by a strain-gauge loadcell. Field test results of the strain-gauge loadcell showed good stability as well as high accuracy. Indoor tests of the instrument using a large tank of 120 cm diameter and 25 cm height connected to a small tank measured the liquid level with a good stability, showing a measurement error of less than 0.1 mm in a 100 mm range. This method of water depth measurement is very useful in measuring snowfall because it has no limitation on the funnel size of the instrument. In addition, an antifreezing solution instead of water used in the tank makes a heating system for melting snow unnecessary.

Landslides occur frequently due to the effects of heavy rainfall and typhoons caused by climate change. Erosion control measures are needed to effectively prevent landslide damage. In order to improve their efficiency, it is necessary to quantitatively measure the sediment discharge from the mountain stream. In this study, a load cell sensor was installed in a mountain stream and the measured values were compared according to the applicability and load test type in the mountain stream. The result of the load test showed that the effect of the loading type (load test 1, 2) was low at average (loadings) of 0.4kgf and 0.6kgf at sites 1 and 2, respectively. The load factor was also derived by regression analysis to increase the accuracy of the measured values. According to the results of the load factor (normalized) to the load-cell measurement value, the output value increased by 14.8% and 24.6% in sites 1 and 2, respectively, and was calculated to be similar to the reference value. The load cell sensor enabled us to quantitatively estimate the amount of sediment discharge in the mountain stream through time series analysis with the water level and rainfall information. If the monitoring is carried out for a long time, it can be used to find the sediment discharge mechanism for the mountain stream. In addition, applying sensors such as load-cells to a mountain stream is expected to contribute to the development of related industries, such as the manufacturing of measurement sensors.

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of disaster victims locally due to climate change and a variety of frequently occurring natural disasters. The damage caused by abrupt weather change in local area by typical weather forecasting techniques is very limited and difficult. Recently local area weather monitoring system using wireless sensor network technology has been very actively studied. Thus an IEEE 802.15.4-based weather field server to measure and monitor the local weather changes was designed and developed in this study. The proposed weather field server utilizes a wireless sensor node and weather sensors to collect weather information such as temperature, humidity, illumination, dew point, barometric pressure, and water level. The integrated weather sensor board was designed to respond quickly to weather changes, and provide feedback to the server PC. Each weather information is analyzed in the server PC to establish a program to monitor and analyze the local area or the area of abrupt climate change in order to provide warning signals in case of disaster events in local.

The purpose of this study is to propose the basic data for the development of a sensor capable of simultaneously measuring the liquid-level, concentration and temperature of a urea tank using ultrasonic and electrical conductivity sensors for diesel vehicles with a urea-SCR system. It was found that the liquid-level of the urea tank using the ultrasonic sensor showed a good linearity with the actual liquid-level, and the urea concentration maintained good linearity in the range of 32.5 wt% to 10 wt%. It was an effective measurement of urea concentration to use the electrical conductivity sensor in the temperature range of $-10{\sim}22^{\circ}C$ and to use the ultrasonic sensor at $22^{\circ}C$ or more. Simultaneous measurement of concentration, liquid-level and temperature of the urea tank will be possible by attaching the electrical conductivity sensor and the ultrasonic sensor (split-type) to one sensor together.
