Pipe-cutting machines have been used in many fields. Recently, an automatic pipe-cutting machine that uses magnet has born developed. In this paper, a magnetic-type automatic pipe-cutting machine that attaches itself and performs unmanned cutting process is proposed. It is designed that there is a room at the bottom of its body to contain a magnet. And it uses magnetic force between the magnet and the pipe surface to prevent slip and to attach the machine to the pipe against gravity. Also the magnetic force is adjustable by changing the gap between the magnet and the pipe. This machine is, however, necessary to control cutting velocity for the elevation of work efficiency and the adjustable faculties. During pipe cutting process, the gravity acting on the pipe-cutting machine widely varies. That is, the cutting machine gets fast when moving from the top to the bottom of the pipe and slow when moving from the bottom to the top. Actually the system is kind of a non-linear system where the gravity is function of climbing angle of the cutting machine along the pipe. Especially jerking motion is critical. Therefore, authors design the non-linear controller that estimates the current position of the machine along the pipe and compensates the effect of gravity in this paper. It receives the feed back signal from the encoder.

The YGN Units 3&4 plant conditions during shutdown operation were reviewed to identify the possible event scenarios following the loss of shutdown cooling (SDC) event. For the five cases of typical reactor coolant system (RCS) configurations under the worst event sequence, such as unavailable secondary cooling and no RCS inventory makeup, the thermal hydraulic analyses were performed using the RELAP5/MOD3.2 code to investigate the plant behavior following the event. The thermal hydraulic analyses include the estimation of time to boil, time to core uncovery, and time to core heat up to determine the containment closure time to prevent the uncontrolled release of fission products to atmosphere. The result indicates that the containment closure is recommended to be achieved within 42 minutes after the loss of SDC for the steam generator (SG) inlet plenum manway open case or the large cold leg open case under the worst event sequence. The containment closure time is significantly dependent on the elevation and size of the opening and the SG secondary water level condition. It is also found that the containment closure needs to be initiated before the boiling time to ensure the survivability of the workers in the containment. These results will provide useful information to operators to cope with the loss of SDC event.

A spatial interpolation scheme incorporating local geographic potential for cold air accumulation (TOPSIM) was used to test the feasibility of operational frost warning in Chatancheon basin in Yeoncheon County, where the introduction of new crops including temperate zone fruits is planned. Air temperature from April to June 2003 was measured at one-minute intervals at four locations within the basin. Cold-air accumulation potentials (CAP) at 4 sites were calculated for 3 different catchment scales: a rectangular area of 65 x 55 km which covers the whole county, the KOWACO (Korea Water Corporation) hydrologic unit which includes all 4 sites, and the sub-basins delineated by a stream network analysis of the digital elevation model. Daily minimum temperatures at 4 sites were calculated by interpolating the perfect prognosis (i.e., synoptic observations at KMA Dongducheon station) based on TOPSIM with 3 different CAPs. Mean error, mean absolute error, and root mean square error were calculated for 45 days with no precipitation to test the model performance. For the 3 flat locations, little difference was detected in model performance among 3 catchment areas, but the best performance was found with the CAPs calculated for sub-basins at one site (Oksan) on complex terrain. When TOPSIM loaded with sub-basin CAPs was applied to Oksan to predict frost events during the fruit flowering period in 2004, the goodness of fit was sufficient for making an operational frost warning system for mountainous areas.

In this study, three different unit hydrograph methods (NRCS, Snyder and Clark) in the HEC-HMS were compared to find better fit with the observed data in the Namgang-Dam watershed. The Sancheong, Shinan, and Changchon in Namgang-Dam watershed were selected as the study watersheds. The input data for HEC-HMS were calculated land use, digital elevation map, stream, and watershed map provided by WAter Management Information System (WAMIS). Sixty six storms from 2004 to 2011 were selected for model calibration and validation. Three unit hydrograph methods were compared with the observed data in terms of simulated runoff volume, and peak runoff for the selected storms. The results showed that the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) for the peak runoff was 0.8295~0.9999 and root mean square error (RMSE) was 0.029~0.086 mm/day for calibration stages. In the model validation, $R^2$ for the peak runoff was 0.9061~0.9916 and RMSE was 0.030~0.088 mm/day which were more accurate than calibrated data. Analysis of variance showed that there was no significant difference among the three unit hydrograph methods.

Most grid-based distributed hydrologic models are complex in terms of data requirements, parameter estimation and computational demand. To address these issues, a simple grid-based hydrologic model is developed in a geographic information system (GIS) environment using storage-release concept. The model is named GIS Storage Release Model (GIS-StoRM). The storage-release concept uses the travel time within each cell to compute howmuch water is stored or released to the watershed outlet at each time step. The travel time within each cell is computed by combining the kinematic wave equation with Manning's equation. The input to GIS-StoRM includes geospatial datasets such as radar rainfall data (NEXRAD), land use and digital elevation model (DEM). The structural framework for GIS-StoRM is developed by exploiting geographic features in GIS as hydrologic modeling objects, which store and process geospatial and temporal information for hydrologic modeling. Hydrologic modeling objects developed in this study handle time series, raster and vector data within GIS to: (i) exchange input-output between modeling objects, (ii) extract parameters from GIS data; and (iii) simulate hydrologic processes. Conceptual and structural framework of GIS StoRM including its application to Pleasant Creek watershed in Indiana will be presented.

하천의 하상고 측량은 하상변동 분석, 서식처 구조 등을 이해하는데 매우 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 하지만, 현재까지 대부분의 하상고 측량은 일정한 간격의 하천 단면 측량에 의해서 행해져 왔다. 최근 GPS와 다중 빔 측심기를 이용하여 하상의 3차원적 형상을 조밀하게 측량하고 있으나 비용이 많이 들기 때문에 긴 하천 구간을 전부 측량하지는 못하고 특정한 부분에 대해서만 집중하고 있다. 항공 LiDAR의 경우 넓은 지역에 대해 신속하고 고해상도로 지형을 측량할 수 있으나 수중 투과 장비가 고가이며, 일반 적색 레이져 기반 LiDAR는 수중을 측정하지 못하여 하상 측량에 한계가 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 활용할 수 있는 방법은 광학 기반의 원격 탐사에 의한 수심 측량 방법이다. 이 방법은 얕은 수심의 하천에 대한 활용되었는데, 광학 센서 이미지나 항공사진 등을 이용한다. 본 연구에서는 저고도에서 촬영한 고해상도 디지털 항공사진을 이용하여 모래하천의 수심을 추정하였다. 이 방법은 항공사진의 적색 및 녹색 색상값과 현장에서 정밀한 측위 하에 측량한 수심값 사이의 관계를 이용한다. 이를 통해 보정식을 수립하고 검사 자료를 이용하여 검증한 후 항공사진의 해당 지역에 대해 수심 부분을 마스킹 처리하여 하상고를 구축하였다. 검사 자료에 대한 RMSE는 약 12 cm로 나타났다. 이를 활용하여 대상 구간의 3차원적 지형 형상을 구축하였다.

홍수 예·경보 시에는 시간-단위 또는 그 이하의 시간 척도에서 작용하는 강우에 대한 고도의 영향이 중요하게 되며, 특히 상대적으로 더 드문 관측 밀도가 있는 산악지역에서 강우의 공간분포에 대한 산악 효과의 중요도가 더 높아지게 된다. 일반적으로 1시간 시간스케일에서 강우-고도의 관계를 살펴보기 위해서는 대략 5km 내외의 관측 밀도를 가져야 하는 것으로 알려져 있으나 이러한 지역은 매우 드물다. 최근 기상 예측 수치모델로부터 모의된 강우량의 품질이 눈에 띄게 향상됨에 따라 국내에도 다양한 연구가 수행된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 WRF를 이용하여 남강댐 지역의 과거 호우 사상을 재현한 후, 이로부터 생산된 공간적인 강우장을 이용하여 시간-단위의 시간 척도에서 강우량과 고도 사이의 관계를 고려할 수 있는 WREPN(WRF Rainfall-Elevation Parameterized Nowcasting) 모형을 제안한다. 홍수량 분석을 위해 WREPN 모형을 이용하였으며, 비교군으로 실무적으로 많이 사용되는 IDW, Kriging 기반 격자강우가 사용되었다. 격자기반 분포형 강우자료로부터 홍수량을 분석하기 위해 Mod-Clark 모형이 적용되었으며, 입력된 강우자료별매개변수의 불확실성을 분석하기 위해 베이지안 기법이 적용되었다. 매개변수의 불확실성 분석으로부터 강우-고도 관계가 고려된 WREPN 모형의 강우자료가 상대적으로 불확실성이 낮다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Access to accurate spatial precipitation in many hydrological studies is necessary. Existence of many mountains with diverse topography in South Korea causes different spatial distribution of precipitation. Rain gauge stations show accurate precipitation information in points, but due to the limited use of rain gauge stations and the difficulty of accessing them, there is not enough accurate information in the whole area. Weather radars can provide an integrated precipitation information spatially. Despite this, weather radar data have some errors that can not provide accurate data, especially in heavy rainfall. In this study, some location-based variable like aspect, elevation, plan curvature, profile curvature, slope and distance from the sea which has most effect on rainfall was considered. Then Automatic Weather Station data was used for spatial training of variables in each event. According to this, K-fold cross-validation method was combined with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System. Based on this, 80% of Automatic Weather Station data was used for training and validation of model and 20% was used for testing and evaluation of model. Finally, spatial distribution of precipitation for 1×1 km resolution in Gwangdeoksan radar station was estimates. The results showed a significant decrease in RMSE and an increase in correlation with the observed amount of precipitation.

고해상도 시공간적 격자 형태의 레이더 강수는 돌발홍수(flash flood)와 같은 기상재해에 대비하기 위하여 실시간 예측정보로 활용된다. 그러나 대부분의 레이더 강수는 과소 추정되는 경향이 있어 정량적인 보정 과정인 QPE (Quantitative Precipitation Estimation)가 필요하다. 일반적으로 레이더 강수자료 보정은 지점 관측자료를 활용하지만, 본 연구에서는 지상 강수량 기반의 고해상도 격자 강수자료를 생산하여 레이더 강수자료와 직접적으로 비교하고자 한다. 이에 고도와 지형적 특성을 고려한 PRISM(Precipitation-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model) 방법을 사용하여 고해상도 격자기반의 자료를 생성하였다. PRISM 방법은 고도와 지리정보를 독립변수로 갖는 회귀모형 기반의 기후인자 추정 모형이다. 생산된 고해상도 격자 강수자료와 레이더 강수자료를 QPF (Quantitative Precipitation Forecast) 모델의 입력자료로 사용하여 예측결과를 비교하였다. 해당 QPF 모델은 이류(advection)와 확률론적 섭동(stochastic perturbation)을 기반으로 하며, 강수 앙상블 자료를 생산한다. QPF 모델에 대해 투 트랙(two-track) 방법으로 생산된 예측정보를 통해 레이더 강수자료의 격자별 후처리 보정이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
