Dissolved air flotation (OAF) is a solid-liquid separation system that uses fine bubbles rising from bottom to remove particles in water. In this study, we investigated the effect of L/W (L; Length, W; Width) on the hydro-dynamic behavior in DAF system using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry) technique. The factual full-scale DAF system, L/W ratio of 1:1, was selected and various L/W ratio (2:1, 3:1, 4:1 and 5:1) conditions were simulated with CFD. For modelling, 2-phase (gas-liquid) flow equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and turbulence quantities were solved using an Eulerian-Eulerian approach based on the assumption that very small particle is applied in the DAF system. Also, for verification of CFD simulation results, we measured the factual velocity at some points in the full-scale DAF system with ADV technique. Both the simulation and the measurement results were in good accordance with each other. As the results of this study, we concluded that L/W ratio and outlet geometry play important role for flow pattern and fine bubble distribution in the flotation zone. In the ratio of 1:1, the dead zone is less than those in other cases. On the other hands, in the ration of 3:1, the fine bubbles were more evenly distributed.

The objective of this study is to examine the three-dimensional turbulent flows occurring in the meandering channel with presence of a groyne. A series of laboratory experiments are carried out in a meandering channel with trapezoidal cross sections. The channel is a 24.4 m long, 1.5 m wide, and the bottom slope in the longitudinal direction is 0.02. Two cases with and without the groyne are considered in the experiment. Three-dimensional velocity fields are measured using an acoustic Doppler velocimetry (ADV) at approximately sixty locations in each cross section. The measured velocity fields are averaged in time, and the time-averaged flow revealed that the mean velocity magnitude along the outer bank of the channel was reduced significantly and the direction of the primary flow was directed toward the center of the channel due to the presence of the groyne.

In this study we carried out laboratory experiments to investigate the three-dimensional turbulent flows around a spur dike installed in a straight open channel flume. The experiments are conducted under the two different Froude numbers, 0.100 and 0.185. The three-dimensional instantaneous velocities are measured using the Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry (ADV) to obtain the time-averaged velocities and the turbulence stresses. The measured flow field reveal the existence of the recirculation zones downstream of the dike, which is characterized by high turbulence stresses near its boundaries. The results show that although the overall mean flow patterns between the low and high Froude number cases are very similar to each other, there exist moderate changes in the maximum dimensionless turbulence stresses and the maximum dimensionless bed shear stress with the increase of the Froude number.

In this study, we conducted flume experiments to investigate the three-dimensional flow structures around a half-submerged spur dike in a straight open channel flume. The experiments were carried out under the two different Froude numbers, 0.10 and 0.18. The results were compared with the previous experimental result conducted for non-submerged spur dike. Three-dimensional instantaneous velocities were measured using Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry (ADV) and water elevation data were collected using ultra sonic distance sensor. The results show that submergence conditions of the spur dike largely influence the three-dimensional flow structures around a spur dike.

개수로에서 혹은 수리구조물 주변에서의 흐름 및 난류 특성을 파악하기 위해서는 연직유속분포 및 수심별 평면유속분포의 측정이 필요하다. 유속분포를 측정하기 위한 방법은 음파 도플러 유속계(ADV:Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry)를 사용하는 방법과 PIV 기법을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 일반적으로 ADV는 한 지점의 유속을 시간변화에 따라 연속적으로 측정할 수 있어 난류특성의 정량적인 해석에 장점이 있으나 동시간에 여러 지점을 측정할 수 없기 때문에 난류의 공간적인 문제를 해석함에 있어서 한계가 있다. 그러나, 입자영상유속계(PIV:Particle Image Velocity)는 측정하고자 하는 단면에서 연직 횡단면의 유속분포 및 수심별 평면 유속분포 흐름장 측정이 가능하여 난류흐름의 공간적인 문제를 해석하는데 효과적일 뿐만 아니라 영상간의 시간간격을 짧게 하고, 촬영시간을 충분히 길게 한다면 개수로 내 난류특성 분석도 가능하다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 PIV 기법을 이용하여 매끄러운 하상의 개수로에서 연직유속분포를 측정하고 그 특성을 정량적으로 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 첫째, PIV 기법을 이용하여 측정한 연직유속분포와 3차원 전자식 유속계를 이용하여 측정한 연직유속분포를 비교 분석하였다. 둘째, 후류법칙에 의해 계산된 연직유속분포와 PIV 기법을 이용하여 측정한 연직유속분포의 비교를 위해 각각의 무차원 유속분포(지점 유속/지점 마찰속도)를 계산하고 비교하였다. 마지막으로 각 흐름 조건에 따라 수심의 변화를 주어 연직유속분포를 PIV 기법으로 측정한 후 개수로의 수심변화에 따른 연직유속의 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, PIV 기법을 이용하여 측정한 연직유속 성분에 비해 3차원 전자식 유속계로 측정한 연직유속 성분이 작게 나타났고 바닥에서부터 0.2h 지점까지는 무차원 유속분포(지점 유속/지점 마찰속도)가 후류법칙과 잘 맞는 경향을 보였으나 0.2h 지점부터 수표면까지는 유속이 감소하는 현상이 나타났다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the launder type on settling performance and hydrodynamic behavior within the two certain full-scale sedimentation basins (each flow rate/one basin; $10,000m^3/d$); one is the transverse typed launder(existing basin) and the other is building the finger type launder in combination with the longitudinal baffle. Comparative experimental investigations have been carried out through residual turbidity and particle concentration measurements in each effluent from two basins with the transverse and the finger type launders, respectively. From the experimental results, we could observe that turbidity removal rate in the finger type launder basin (modified basin) is about 30% higher than that in the transverse type launder basin (existing basin). Also, from the measurement of total particle concentration in each effluent, the removal efficiency was improved about 27% within modified basin compared to the existing basin. In order to explain the comparative experimental results and investigate the hydridynamic behavior within each basin in more detail, we conducted computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and verified simulation results with acoustic Doppler velocimetry (ADV) technique. From the CFD simulation, it was investigated that extreme upward flow occurs underneath of the transverse launder. On the other hand, in the case of modified basin, the upward flow, which occurred in the beneath of launder, was much less than that in the existing basins.

The effects of the Froude numbers on turbulent flow patterns downstream of a non-submerged spur dike were investigated in a laboratory flume. Three-dimensional velocities and water depths were measured using Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry and distance sensors under three Froude number conditions ($Fr_d=0.31$, 0.38, and 0.46). The results show that there are marginal differences in the velocity fields downstream of a spur dike due to the change of the Froude number. However, an increase of the Froude number was found to reduce cross-sectional area in the flow and to increase the strength of the jet-like flow. The jet-like flow was observed to displace the location of the maximum turbulence kinetic energy within a cross section toward the inner bank in the transverse direction.
