In this study, hydraulic and numerical model experiments were performed to analyze and improve the effects of flow-rate increase in the intake canal of Boryeong Thermal Power Plants on the flow condition in the circulation water pump (CWP) chambers. Based on the numerical simulation results, when the flow-rate increased in the circulation water intake canal, the velocity in the canal and vertical vorticities in the circulation water pump chambers increased and hence the vortex occurrence potential would be greatly increased. It was found by performing hydraulic model experiments that the velocity distribution near the bottom in the inlet of the circulation water pump chambers was highly non-uniform while the velocity distribution near the water surface was nearly uniform. To reduce the non-uniformity in the velocity distribution, triangular flow deflectors were devised. The installation of the flow deflectors in the inlet of circulation water pump chambers was successfully to reduce velocity non-uniformities and to remove flow reversal problems.

A computational analysis of nozzle flow characteristics and plume structure using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model was conducted to examine performance of the supersonic nozzle employed in a small liquid-rocket engine for ground firing test. Computed results and experimental outcome of 2-D converging-diverging nozzle flow were compared for verifying the computational capability as well as the turbulence model validity. Numerical computations of 2-D axisymmetric nozzle flow was carried out with the selected model. As a result, flow separation with backflow appeared around the nozzle exit. This investigation was reported as a background data for the optimal nozzle design of small liquid-propellant rocket engine for ground test.

The localized rainfall happens frequently in urban areas recently and then, he drain pipes of urban areas do not drain well when the localized rainfalls happen. Specially, the inundation by the backwater on the lowland should be solved certainly in urban planning and sewer rehabilitation. In this study, it was examined whether the carrying capacities of the drain pipe are satisfied about a current design standard of the rainfall considering the outflows of the urban areas by the rainfall analysis. Also, the backwater in the drain pipe and the inundation on the lowland were analyzed considering the water level of the discharged river and the propriety of the design standard was examined by the analysis about the rainfall frequency. Also, the results offered the basic data to decide whether the detention reservoir should be established and the scale of the pump station.

최근 도입 필요성이 계속하여 높아지고 있는 지하유입시설 유입구로는 유입구 효율과 성능으로 인하여 와류식 유입구가 많이 적용되고 있다. 그 중 나선식 유입구(spiral intake)는 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 형식으로 초기에 활용되었던 원형 유입구(circular intake)를 대신하여 사용되는 형식이다. 형상은 복잡하지만 구조물 내부에서 와류(vortex)를 안정적으로 형성시키기 때문에 많이 사용되고 있다. 나선식 지하방수로 유입구가 사용되는 가장 큰 이유는 유입구 내부에서도 수위가 안정적으로 유지되며, 유입 유량에 따른 수위의 변화가 다른 유입구 형식에 비하여 비교적 안정적으로 예측 가능하기 때문이다. 만약 지하방수로 유입구 내부에서 수위가 안정적으로 유지되지 못하고 도수 현상 등에 의한 수위 상승 현상 등이 발생할 경우 지하유입시설 내부로 안정적으로 유량을 배제하는 것이 어려워지고, 또한 도수 현상이 발생하는 동안 과도한 유량이 유입될 경우 다시 본류로 흐름이 역류할 가능성도 생각할 수 있다. 따라서 유입구 형상에 따른 수위의 변화를 정확히 예측하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서 검토할 종경사형 나선식 유입구(inclined spiral intake)는 일정한 바닥 경사를 도입하여 사류 흐름을 보다 안정적으로 가속시켜 유입구 내부에서의 도수 현상을 방지하는 형식으로 유입구 바닥의 외측 또는 중앙선을 따라서 일정한 경사를 주어 사류 유입 흐름을 안정적으로 유도함으로서 유량 배제 효율을 높인 형태라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유입구 외측을 기준으로 일정한 경사를 가진 종경사형 나선식 유입구 모형을 이용하여 경사 변화에 따른 방류 효율을 검토하였다.

양산되는 승용차용 토크 컨버터 내부의 유동을 LDV 측정 기술을 이용하여 정량화했다. 속도비 0.4와 0.8 경우에 대한 속도 측정을 통해 임펠러 유로 중간과 출구 영역의 질량 유동율 특성을 분석했다. 측정 단면의 속도 분포는 유로의 위치와 속도비에 따라 많은 차이를 보이며, 특히 속도비 0.8 조건에서 임펠러 유로 중간영역 흡입면 부근의 유동은 유동박리에 의한 재순환 현상을 나타내며, 이와는 대조적으로 출구 영역에서는 흡입면을 따라 역류 현상이 발생한다. 임펠러 유로 내부의 유동은 각 영역에서 속도비에 따라 개별적 유동 특성을 보인다. 질량 유동율은 모든 속도비와 측정단면에서 주기적인 변화를 보이며, 또한 터빈의 순간적인 위치가 임펠러 유로 측정단면의 질랑 유동율에 매우 큰 영향을 미치는 것이 밝혀졌다 따라서 토크 컨버터 임펠러의 유로 방향 유동 특성 변화는 컨버터 설계에 중요하게 고려되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

Waterhammer and slamming phenomena can occur when power is cut off due to reversal flow in pipeline and sudden close of check valve. Therefore analysis of reversal flow time, which means the time of reversal flow in pipeline due to pumping station blackout, is needed to protect facilities from waterhammer economically and efficiently. However systematic study on reversal flow time has not been done yet. So theory of reversal flow time analysis is proposed and verified with experiment using several parameters like pump specific speed, motor pole number, and characteristic curve of pipeline in this study.

Purpose : The use of cyclosporine and mitomycin in various immunologic or neoplastic disorders has been known to cause wide-ranged nephrotoxic effects including thrombotic microangiopathy. However, the mechanism of nephrotoxicity of these drugs has not been studied adequately, so that present experimental study has been undertaken to find out whether these drugs can cause direct damage to the kidney and to clarify the pathogenetic mechanism of nephrotoxic effect of these drugs. Materials and methods : Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250-300 gm were used for experimental animals and unilateral renal perfusion technique, modified from the method described by Hoyer et al was used. Isolation of left kidney from systemic circulation was made by clamping aorta and left renal vein and a hole was punctured in the anterior wall of the left renal vein. Cyclosporine (2.5 mg in 4 ml solution) and mitomycin (1.6 mg in 4ml solution) were infused through left renal artery and normal saline was used in control rats. Forty-eight hours after infusion of the drugs, animals were sacrificed and left kidney removed and processed for histologic examination. Total ischemic time of left kidney was less than 15 minutes: Results : Cyclosporine-perfused group showed severe swelling of glomerular endothelial ceil along with swelling of glomerular epithelial cell and interstitial vascular endothelial cell. Mitomycin-perfused group also showed severe swelling of glomerular endothelial and epithelial cells. And in addition to these findings, they demonstrated platelets aggregation, swelling and degranulation of platelets and fibrin accumulation in some of the capillaries, indicating occurrance of thrombotic microangiopathy. Conclusion : present experiment indicates that cyclosporine and mitomycin can cause direct toxic injury to renal endothelial cell. And this direct toxic damage to endothelial cell seems to be an important initiating event for the development of thrombotic microangiopathy.

A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model was applied to the Lake Euiam. The lake has three inflows, of which Gongji Stream has the smallest flow rate and poorest water. The dam-storage volume, watershed area, lake shape and discharge type of the Chuncheon Dam and the Soyang Dam are different. Therefore, it is difficult to analyze the water plume and mixing pattern due to the difference of the two dams regarding the amount of outflow and water temperature. In this study, we analyzed the effects of different characteristics on temperature and conductivity using the model appropriate for the Lake Euiam. We selected an integrated system supporting 3-D time varying modeling (GEMSS) to represent large temporal and spatial variations in hydrodynamics and transport of the Lake Euiam. The model represents the water temperature and hydrodynamics in the lake reasonably well. We examined residence time and spreading patterns of the incoming flows in the lake based on the results of the validated model. The results of the water temperature and conductivity distribution indicated that characteristics of upstream dams greatly influence Lake Euiam. In this study, the three-dimensional time variable water quality model successfully simulated the temporal and spatial variations of the hydrodynamics in the Lake Euiam. The model may be used for efficient water quality management.

A numerical model of flow velocity in the standing water system is presented. This model(RMA-2), based on the 2-dimensional unsteady momentum and continuity equations, uses finite element techniques to simulate the distribution of velocity over a spatial location of lakes. The present model represents an improvement over existing numerical water quality models in that it can model the unsteady state and can, therefore, cope with time with a spatial location of standing waters such as lakes and large reservoirs. The model thus allows the engineer to do more accurate estimation of water flows and thus water qualities in standing waters where directions and velocities of the flow become more important for the simulation of the water quality than in running waters. Tests for the data collected in the lake "Paldang" indicates that the model works well under limited circumstances. However, to be more accurate estimation of velocity with the present model, accumulation of data for the measurement of velocities and renovation of geometrical conditions of the lake would be needed.

Grating is an installed structure on the road for drain. This paper proposes a new product which can prevent the accumulation of earth and sand through the improvement of Grating structure. There were usually harmful insects and bad smell because of accumulated garbage in the frame of previous product. The product had a reverse-flowing sewage due to the bad draining in case of rain. The whole thing of the existing Grating installed with the one set of frame and main body should be changed when it was damaged. This study is to develop a structure which can separate grating main body from frame and grating main body can equip and separate after fixing frame to the manhole with cement. also install jig for the loss prevention and change for the better.
