특정 극치사상 자료에 대한 특성 분석 시 수문자료에 대한 빈도해석은 일반적으로 단일 확률 변수를 기준으로 이루어지는 단변량 해석 방법이 활용된다. 그러나 두 가지 이상의 변량이 서로 상관성을 가지는 경우 다변량 빈도해석이 요구되며, 이를 단변량으로 해석하는 경우 재현기간의 과소추정 등의 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. 최근 이러한 점을 개선하기 위하여 다변량 빈도해석에 관한 연구가 지속적으로 진행되고 있다(Kwon and Lall, 2016; Vaziri et al., 2018). 특히, 가뭄의 경우, 강도(intensity)뿐만 아니라 지속기간, 심도도 매우 중요한 인자로 고려되고 있다. 특히, 가뭄지속기간과 심도의 경우 두 인자 간의 상관성이 매우 크기 때문에 단변량(univariate) 가뭄빈도해석 보다 다변량으로(multivariate) 가뭄빈도해석을 수행하는 것이 가뭄위험도 평가 측면에서 유리하다고 알려져 있다(Shiau and Shen, 2001; Kim et al., 2017). 따라서 이 둘을 결합한 빈도 해석을 위해 Copula Function을 이용한 다변량 빈도 해석에 관한 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 홍수의 경우 지속시간별 연최대강수량 계열을 이용한 빈도해석 과정이 지침으로 정립되어 수자원 설계 실무에서 활용되고 있으나, 가뭄은 실무에서 활용할 수 있는 지침 및 분석 도구가 없는 실정이다. 이에 환경부와 국가가뭄정보분석센터에서는 '20년도에 단변량 가뭄빈도 해석을 위한 프로그램을 제작·배포하였다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄의 특성을 대변하는 상관도 높은 두 인자인 가뭄 심도(severity)와 가뭄 지속기간(duration)이라는 두 가지 특성을 함께 고려해 이변량(bivariate) 가뭄 빈도를 해석할 수 있는 도구를 개발하는 것을 목표로, 다양한 확률분포형을 이용한 최적 주변 확률분포형 선정과 최신 Copula Function들을 이용한 최적 결합확률분포 추정을 통해 신뢰도 높은 2변량 가뭄빈도 해석을 수행할 수 있는 프로그램을 제작하였으며, 테스트 버전 배포 등을 거쳐 누구나 사용할 수 있도록 공개할 예정이다.

Design parameters required for Methane/oxygen bipropellant small-rocket-engine were derived through a theoretical performance analysis. The theoretical performance of the rocket engine was analyzed by using CEA and optimal propellant mixture ratio, characteristic length, and optimal expansion ratio were calculated by assuming chemical equilibrium. A coaxial-type swirl injector was chosen because of its outstanding atomization performance and high combustion efficiency compared to other types of injector and also a bell nozzle with 80% of its full length was designed. The rocket engine configuration with 1.72 MPa of chamber pressure, 0.18 kg/s in total propellant mass flow, and O/F ratio of 2.7 was proposed as a ground-firing test model.

Abnormal condition inevitably occurs during operation of water distribution system (WDS) and requires the isolation of certain areas using isolation valves. In general, the determination of the optimal location of isolation valves considered minimization of hydraulic failures as isolation of certain areas causes a change in hydraulic states (e.g., flow direction, velocity, pressure, etc.). Water quality failure can also be induced by changes in hydraulics, which have not been considered for isolation valve system design. Therefore, this study proposes a new isolation valve system design methodology to prevent unexpected water quality failure events. The new methodology considers flow direction change ratio (FDCR), which accounts for flow direction changes after isolation of the area, as a constraint while reliability is used as the objective function. The optimal design model has been applied to a synthetic grid network and the results are compared with the traditional design approach. Results show that considering FDCR can eliminate flow direction changes while average pressure and coefficient of variation of pressure, velocity, and hydraulic geodesic index (HGI) outperform compared to the traditional design approach. The proposed methodology is expected to be a useful approach to minimizing unexpected consequences by traditional design approaches.

Product array approach which is used in the Taguchi parameter design has a number of advantages by considering the noise factor. However, a disadvantage of this method is that it requires an excessively large number of experiments. So combined array approach have been proposed to reduce the number of experiments. Taguchi has used the signal-to-noise ratio to find the optimum conditions in the Taguchi parameter design. In analyzing the data from the parameter design various problems tends occur by using an SN. In this paper, we propose an alternative solution for reducing the number of experiments without depending on the signal-to-noise ratio to overcome the shortcomings of the parameter design. Two examples illustrate this procedure in the two different experimental design (product array, combined array) approaches.

Optimum design conditions of rapid mixing impellers for an effective Water Treatment Plant operation were experimentally studied by thorough examination of parameters, such as impeller type and detention time. which govern the removal efficiency of turbidity. It was found that the impeller type is one of the major parameters governing the economic power consumption and the efficiency of turbidity removal. The experimental results showed that not only the velocity gradient G but also a new design guide. so called mixing energy per unit volume of raw water, could be used as a design and operation guides for rapid mixing in W.T.P.

In general, shape optimization design of the flow system has done to obtain the effects, which are required in the engineering fields. Most of these designs are accomplished by empirical or numerical analysis. But, in empirical analysis case, it is difficult to obtain an optimal shape in the feasible design region. And, in numerical method case, it usually needs many design parameters, because of the required object-function. In this paper, we present a newly numerical analysis, the growth-strain method having only one design parameter. That optimizes a shape by distributing a design parameter such as dissipation energy to be uniformed in the flow system. Also, we apply this shape design process to the three-flow systems, and then we identify that the resulting shape approaches the known optimal shape in the numerical values. Consequently, we confirm that the proposed method is very efficient and practical in the shape optimization of the flow system.

Marine sea water pump with impeller using carbon fiber block was developed to prevent the impeller corrosion by the salinity. A numerical analysis was carried out in order to optimize the impeller and volute design for marine sea water pump and to investigate the sensitivity of the related parameters(impeller thickness, surface roughness) using CFD commercial code. The impeller thickness is limited because of the weight. Since the impeller using the carbon fiber lights, the thickness which has a maximum efficiency can be used. The results show that the surface roughness leads to an 7% reduction in pump efficiency.

This study aimed to assess runoff reduction performance and determine installation priorities for Permeable Pavement (PP) and Rain Barrel (RB) within the Mokgam Stream basin. Optimal design parameters were determined to maximize the effectiveness of PP and RB in reducing runoff. Furthermore, the optimal parameters were incorporated to compare the runoff reduction performance of PP and RB. Analysis of the runoff curve at the basin outlet indicated that PP demonstrated superior performance in reducing runoff during the rising limb of the curve. At the same time, RB excelled within the falling limb. Comparisons of total runoff and peak runoff reduction by sub-catchment revealed that in larger sub-catchment areas, PP outperformed RB in runoff reduction. In contrast, RB exhibited higher performance in areas with a higher impervious ratio. Based on the evaluation of runoff reduction performance for PP and RB, installation priorities were determined within the Mokgam Stream basin. The results showed that PP and RB installations were prioritized for sub-catchments with larger areas and a higher impervious ratio. Furthermore, the correlation between the ranking of runoff reduction performance and sub-catchment characteristics showed a high correlation with both the impervious area ratio and sub-catchment geometrical properties in sub-watersheds exhibiting the top 25% runoff reduction performance. These results emphasize that when determining the priority for installing LID facilities in developed urban areas, it is necessary to consider not only the impervious area ratio but also the geometrical properties of the sub-catchment.
