유량 환산에 이용되는 수위-유량 관계곡선식은 하천의 흐름을 정상 등류상태로 가정하고 유속계를 하천에 투입하여 년간 정해진 횟수의 유량측정을 실시하여 이로부터 갱신하여 작성하고 있다. 평수기에는 이렇게 기기를 이용하여 유량측정이 가능하지만 홍수기나 갈수기에는 접촉식 유속계를 이용한 하천유량 측정이 불가능한 실정이다. 홍수기에는 기기 손상과 관측자의 안전이 위협받는 실정이고, 갈수기에는 유속이 너무 느려서 (0.1 m/s 이하) 프로펠러 유속계의 경우 유속의 정확한 관측이 힘들다. 또한 전지구적 빈번한 이상기후의 현실정에서 가장 중요한 기초 수문자료인 홍수량의 정확한 측정 자료는 많지 않다. 홍수유량을 측정하기 위해서 현재에도 기존의 봉부자를 이용하거나 유비쿼터스 센서를 장착한 봉부자를 이용하는 유량측정 기법이 향해지고 계속적으로 소개되고 있는 실정이지만 봉부자의 특성상 정확한 유량을 계산하기에는 어려움이 많다. 현재 선진국에서는 흐름과 비접촉식 방법을 이용한 하천유량측정 방법이 지난 10 여년간 꾸준이 연구되어 왔다. 그중 대표전인 것이 전자파를 이용한 방법과 영상해석에 의한 방법이다. 전자의 경우 국내에서는 수자원공사에서 10년 이상 연구 개발하여 상품화 시킨바 현업에서 이를 이용하여 홍수유량측정을 실시하고 있다. 후자의 방법은 유체역학 분야에서 흐름해석에 주로 이용되어지던 PIV(particle image velocimetry) 기법을 하천과 같이 대규모의 흐름영역에 적용가능하도록 개발된 기술로 LSPIV (large-casle particle image velocimetry)라 불리우는 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 미국 Iowa 대학에서 개발한 LSPIV를 이용하여 홍수파의 진행시 수위와 유량의 두 변수 사이에 나타나는 Loop rating curve의 이론적인 관계를 하천현장에서 일정시간 간격으로 실측을 통하여 파악하고자 하였다. 현장실험을 위한 대상지점으로 미국 Iowa주 Coralville 시내 Clear Creek의 USGS (US Geologival Survey) 수위관측소 지점을 선택하여 본 연구에서 실시한 유량측정 결과의 비교가 가능토록 하였다. LSPIV는 그 특성상 야간에는 적용하는데 어려움이 있어 아침시간부터 해가 지기 직전까지의 자연채광 조건의 영상취득이 가능한 시간대에서 표면유속을 측정하였고 이에 수심평균유속환산계수를 적용하여 유량을 계산하였다. 강우의 발생으로 인한 홍수파의 진행시 총 43회의 유량을 측정하였는바 이를 이용하여 이 지점의 수위-유량 관계식과 비교한 결과 거의 일치하는 결과를 나타냈다. 특히 홍수파의 진행시 고수위 영역에서의 측정한 결과는 수위의 상승기에는 최고로 7.5% 까지 측정유량이 수위-유량관계식에서 계산한 유량보다 컸으며, 수위의 하강기에는 반대로 최고 5.4% 정도까지 측정유량이 수위-유량관계식에서 계산한 유량보다 작게 나타났다. 또한 최대유량의 발생시기는 최고수위 발생직전의 수위라는 것이 파악되었다. 이러한 경향은 수위-유량 관계곡선의 이론과 잘 일치하는 것이다.

The aim of this study was to measure the dentinal tubular fluid flow (DFF) during and after amalgam and composite restorations. A newly designed fluid flow measurement instrument was made. A third molar cut at 3 mm apical from the CEJ was connected to the flow measuring device under a hydrostatic pressure of 15 $cmH_2O$. Class I cavity was prepared and restored with either amalgam (Copalite varnish and Bestaloy) or composite (Z-250 with ScotchBond MultiPurpose: MP, Single Bond 2: SB, Clearfil SE Bond: CE and Easy Bond: EB as bonding systems). The DFF was measured from the intact tooth state through restoration procedures to 30 minutes after restoration, and re-measured at 3 and 7days after restoration. Inward fluid flow (IF) during cavity preparation was followed by outward flow (OF) after preparation, In amalgam restoration, the OF changed to IF during amalgam filling and slight OF followed after finishing. In composite restoration, application CE and EB showed a continuous OF and air-dry increased rapidly the OF until light-curing, whereas in MP and SB, rinse and dry caused IF and OF, respectively. Application of hydrophobic bonding resin in MP and CE caused a decrease in flow rate or even slight IF. Light-curing of adhesive and composite showed an abrupt IF. There was no statistically significant difference in the reduction of DFF among the materials at 30 min. 3 and 7 days after restoration (p > 0.05).

The propagation of impact wave induced by landslide and debris flow occurred on the slope of lake, reservoir and bays is a three-dimensional natural phenomenon associated with strong interaction of debris flow and water flow in complex geometrical environments. We carried out 3D numerical modeling of such impact wave in a bay using a multiphase turbulence flow model and a rheology model for non-Newtonian debris flow. Numerical results are compared with previous experimental result to evaluate the performance of present numerical approach. The results underscore that the reasonable predictions of both thickness and speed of debris flow head penetrating below the water surface are crucial to accurately reproduce the maximum peak height and free surface profiles of impact wave. Two predictions computed using different initial debris flow thicknesses become different from the instant when the peaks of impact waves fall due to the gravity. Numerical modeling using relatively thick initial debris flow thickness appears to well reproduce the water surface profile of impact wave propagating across the bay as well as wave run-up on the opposite slope. The results show that the maximum run-up height on the opposite slope is not sensitive to the initial thickness of debris flows of same total volume. Meanwhile, appropriate rheology model for debris flow consisting of inviscid particle only should be employed to more accurately reproduce the debris flow propagating along the channel bottom.

This study introduces a method to easily fabricate highly monodisperse pectin hydrogel microfibers in a microfluidic device by using partial gelation. The hydrodynamic parameters between the pectin aqueous solution and the calcium ions containing oil solution are precisely controlled to form a stable elongation flow of the pectin aqueous solution, and partial gelation of the pectin aqueous solution is performed by the chelating of the calcium ions at the interface between the two phases. The partially gelled pectin aqueous solution is phase-separated from the oil solution in an aqueous calcium chloride solution outside the microfluidic device and is completely gelled to produce monodisperse pectin hydrogel microfibers. The thickness of the pectin hydrogel microfiber is controlled in a reproducible manner by controlling the volumetric flow rate of the initially injected pectin aqueous solution. The pectin hydrogel microfibers were 200 to 500 micrometers in diameter and had a coefficient of variation below 5% under all thickness conditions, indicating that the pectin hydrogel microfibers produced by partial gelation are highly monodisperse. In addition, biomaterials can be immobilized to the pectin hydrogel microfibers produced by a single process, demonstrating the possibility that our pectin hydrogel microfiber can be used as carriers for biomaterials or tissue engineering.

In this paper, the correlation of Pressure drop about the Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid was investigated experimentally for vibrating intravascular lung assist device (VIVLAD) and we determined correlation equation to make a prediction about Pressure drop for designing VIVLAD. Design conditions to predict the pressure drop of the modules were studied through an experimental modeling before inserting the artificial lung assist device into as venous. Experiments were performed by distilled water, glycerol/water mixed solution(40% glycerol) of Newtonian fluids. and the bovine blood of non-Newtonian fluids. These fluids were flowed outside and parallel of hollow fiber membranes. Also we measured pressure drop according to the number of the fiber membranes which ware inserted into the inside diameter of shell of 3 cm, and developed the prediction equations by curve fitting method based on correlation between the experimental pressure drop and the frontal area or the packing density of device. The result showed that the Pressure drop and the friction factor of the water/glycerol mixed solution were similar to that of bovine blood. It was showed that the water/glycerol mixed solution (40% glycerol) could be used for measuring the pressure drop and the friction factor instead of the bovine blood. Also, we could estimate the prediction equation of pressure drop and friction factor as the function of Packing density at the number of hollow fibers. We obtained the reliance of the prediction equations because the pressure drop and the friction factor measured from the experiments were similar to that from the prediction equation. These results may be used to further usefulness for the design of VIVLAD.

This study relates to a device that increases efficiency by reducing air bubbles in a hydraulic system used in hydraulic machinery. The reverse design and product production of the bubble reduction device, which is a commercial product overseas, was carried out. Overseas commercial products were set as the base model, a rotary rotor and an inclined rotor were added to increase the surface area of the fluid, and an annular equal distribution part with a slot in the lower part was additionally applied to distribute the fluid evenly. In addition, internal flow trends were analyzed and a system that evenly distributes the linear flow of fluid was selected as the first improvement model. Based on the first improvement model, a case where the angle of the inclined rotor is 45° was selected as the second improvement model. Based on this, as a result of setting the exit width of the annular equally distributed part as a variable, the bubble reduction efficiency was highest when the lower slot diameter of the annular part was 10mm. Finally, the system in which the average cross-sectional flow velocity decreased by 147% compared to the Base Model was derived as the final improved model.

This paper is the scattering beam measurement of the red blood cell (RBC) and the fabrication of the micro cell biochip using the bio micro electro mechanical system (Bio-MEMS) process technology. The Major process method of Bio-MEMS technology was used the buffered oxide etchant (BOE), electro chemical discharge (ECD) and ultraviolet sensitive adhesives (UVSA). All experiments were the 10 times according to the process conditions. The experiment and research are required the ultraviolet expose, the micro fluid current, the cell control and the measurement of the output voltage Vpp (peak to peak) waveform by scattering angles. The transmitting and receiving of the laser beam was used the single mode optical fiber. The principles of the optical properties are as follows. The red blood cells were injected into the micro channel. The single mode optical fiber was inserting in the guide channel. The He-Ne laser beam was focusing in the single mode optical fiber. The transmission He-Ne laser beam is irradiating to the red blood cells. The manufactured guide channel consists of the four inputs and the four outputs. The red blood cell was allowed with the cylinder pump. The output voltage Vpp waveform of the scattering beam was measured with a photo detector. The receiving angle of the output optical fiber is $0^{\circ}$, $5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$. The magnitude of the output voltage Vpp waveform was measured in the decrease according to increase of the reception angles. The difference of the output voltage Vpp waveform is due differences of the light transmittance of the red blood cells.

Soil-water characteristic curve, which is called soil retention curve, is required to explore water flows in unsaturated soils, relative permeability of water in multi-phase fluids flow, and change to stiffness and volume of soils. Thus, the understanding of soil-water characteristic curves of soils help us explore the behavior of soils inclduing fluids. Biopolymers are environmental-friendly materials, which can be completely degraded by microbes and have been believed not to affect the nature. Thus, various biopolymers such as deacetylated power, polyethylene oxide, xanthan gum, alginic acid sodium salt, and polyacrylic acid have been studies for the application to soil remediation, soil improvement, and enhanced oil recovery. PAA (polyacrylic acid) is one of biopolymers, which have shown a great effect in enhanced oil recovery as well as soil remediation because of the improvement of water-flood performance by mobility control. The study on soil-water characteristic curves of sandy soils containing PAA (polyacrylic acid) has been conducted through experimentations and theoretical models. The results show that both capillary entry pressure and residual water saturation dramatically increase according to the increased concentration of PAA (polyacrylic acid). Also, soil-water characteristic curves by theoretical models are quite well consistent with the results by experimental studies. Thus, soil-water characteristic curves of sandy soils containing biopolymers such as PAA (polyacrylic acid) can be estimated using fitting parameters for the theoretical model.

In order to investigate the circulation dynamics of the Keum River estuary, 300velocity fields obtained at six sites over two tidal cycles by using instantaneous profiling technique were analyzed in detail. In this investigation, the variability of shear velocity, bottom shear stress, drag coefficient, and roughness length scale were confirmed. The measured values of the bottom boundary drag coefficient show wide range of variations, i.e., C$\_$100/=6.78${\times}$10$\^$-5/∼1.15${\times}$10$\^$-1/, and the mean of 300 measurements is 1.6${\times}$10$\^$-2/. The relationship between U* and C$\_$100/ also show the scatter in values. However, overall mean values over two tidal cycles at 6 stations show that if U* 1cm/s, C$\_$100/ is unpredictable, if U* 1cm/s, C$\_$100/ increase with U*. The values of Re$\_$100/ and C$\_$100/ have scatter. But the overall mean values over two tidal cycles show that if Re$\_$100/ 3.6${\times}$10$\^$5/, C$\_$100/ is unpredictable, if Re$\_$100/ 3.6${\times}$10$\^$5/, C$\_$100/=1.4${\times}$10$\^$-2/. Finally the flow regime of the Keum River estuary was classified as "subcritical fully turbulent" flow.

As the problems of global warming are brought up recently, many skillful solutions for developing new renewable energy are suggested. One of the most remarkable things is ocean energy. Korea has abundant ocean energy resources owing to geographical characteristics surrounded by sea on three sides, thus the technology of commercialization about tidal current power, wave power is demanded. Especially, Tidal energy conversion system is a means of maintaining environment naturally. Tidal current generation is a form to produce electricity by installing rotors, generators to convert a horizontal flow generated by tidal current into rotating movement. According to rotor direction, a tidal current turbine is largely distinguished between horizontal and vertical axis shape. Power capacity depends on the section size crossing a rotor and tidal current speed. We therefore investigated three dimensional flow analysis and performance evaluation using commercial ANSYS-CFX code for an 100 kW class horizontal axis turbine for low water level. Then We also studied three dimensional flow characteristics of a rotating rotor and blade surface streamlines around a rotor. As a result, We found that torque increased with TSR, the maximum torque occurred at TSR 3.77 and torque decreased even though TSR increased. Moreover we could get power coefficient 0.38 at designed flow velocity.
