This study, regarding curved channel, was performed to compare and analyze hydraulic characteristics and the speed of water and water level for left bank and right bank through hydraulic model experiments and numerical analysis. Real channels that had characteristics of curved channel were selected as objectives. In order to easily operate one and two dimensional numerical analysis and comparison for total 2.4Km model channel, measuring point was set up as 200m. HEC-RAS model was applied as one dimensional numerical analysis program and SMS model was used as two dimensional numerical analysis program. In respect of speed of water, the average speed of water for right bank recorded 8.33m/s in a model experiment and 3.08m/s, 8.57m/s were average speed of water for right bank in one dimensional and two dimensional numerical analysis. The average speed of water of two dimensional numerical analysis was quite similar to that of model experiments. Also, as for water level, maximum observational errors between one and two dimensional numerical analysis for right and left bank of model experiments were 0.66m, 0.84m and 0.28m, 0.48m for each. It was found that two dimensional numerical analysis had a similar result to hydraulic model experiments. Accordingly, from the result of this study, two dimensional numerical analysis should be used rather than one dimensional numerical analysis, when numerical analysis for curved channel is conducted.

This research investigated the way of generating the flowing of water in case of artificial fluctuation of river width by the unidimensional numerical analysis in order to reconstruct vertical and expanse features of flowing, and the problem of existing numerical analysis in accordance with local enlargement and reduction of river through hydraulic model experiments with results of numerical analysis. The result revealed that when the local section change in the same river is exist, it showed 0.93m in the case of no change of local section in the hydraulic model experiments and numerical analysis, however, it presented 1.645m on the occasion of local section changes in the hydraulic model experiments and numerical analysis. In other words, there was a significant difference in the existing numerical analysis, when there was a local section change. As a result of the experimental section for the enlargement and reduction of local river width, due to the sensitive change for fluctuation of flood discharge, there was a significant difference between numerical analysis and hydraulic model experiments. In addition, the result of comparison between the enlargement and reduction of local river width confirmed that the result of numerical analysis with hydraulic model experiments showed larger generation of deviation in case of enlargement of section than in case of reduction of section.

Generally, not only in order to design three dimensional hydraulic structures such a spillway and to investigate the hydraulic phenomena concerning hydraulic facilities, but also to grasp shape and stability, we simulate actuality phenomenon through hydraulic model experiments. However, it requires too much times, expense and space to perform hydraulic model experiments, as well as it is very difficult to measure reduced scale of actual hydraulic structures. Besides, surface tension can exert fair effect in experiment result, and occasionally an experiment of various case is impossible actually. Therefore, there is necessity to draw proper early result through numerical analysis, and if decide the case of a hydraulic model experiment through the numerical analysis and compare the result, finally economical and reasonable design hydraulic structures are available. This study performs numerical analysis of overflow spillway and an experimental study of hydraulic model tests to design the optimal spillway and suggest a better design to improve hydraulic conditions. From the measurements, revised designs for an hydraulic structure are suggested and consequent improvement effects by the new design are also investigated.

Hydraulic model experiments were conducted fur a series of regular and uni-directional irregular waves propagating over a submerged elliptic shoal. Two different sets of experiments have been studied； one considers regular wave transformation with no breaking, and the other considers uni-directional irregular wave with partial breaking on top of the shoal. The numerical experiments are also performed using a numerical model based on the parabolic approximation equation. The result of the numerical experiments are compared with that of hydraulic experiments.

Experimental studies with 4.3m and enlarged 30m in height have been conducted to investigate the flow characteristics of solid-liquid mixture in a lifting pipe and to acquire the design data for sea tests that will be performed in the future. From the results, it was observed that the more the discharged volume fraction and the solid diameter increase, the more the hydraulic gradient increases. Also, the more the diameter of the lifting pipe increases, the smaller the friction loss, and consequently, the less pressure drop and hydraulic gradient. From the enlarged hydraulic pumping experiments, it was shown that the results of the experiments were matched with those of the numerical model previously developed. On the bases of these studies, we plan to conduct further experiments and validate the hydraulic pumping model.

In this study is if the design of outlet conduit was appropriate or not by analyzing flow characteristic of outlet conduit with performing hydraulic model experiments. As the results of hydraulic model experiments, the capacity of outlet conduit of elementary design was under estimated, and the designed values of the capacity of outlet conduit of preliminary design based on the values of elementary design was nearly equal to the values of experiments, so the propriety of design was identified. In addition, as the results of examinations of negative pressure of outlet conduit, and propriety of longitudinal sections, the resulting values were within the maximum permissible limits, so it was proved that the design was appropriate. In the base of such processes, the propriety of scale and location of outlet conduit of preliminary design was examined.

The rolling stock is composed of several cars. In order to operate in combination, it is necessary to connect the device, called coupler, between the rolling stocks. When the collision occurs between cars, couplers should be able to absorb the shock. Urban railway has used only rubber absorbers. But recently, the hydraulic buffer has been considered in general railway. In order to know the performance of the buffer it should be conducted to experiments. But whenever this combination change, we should experiments to know a lot of the dynamic behavior of each coupler. These experiments are generally replaced by the simulation, since a lot of time and cost consuming. The quasi-static map of hydraulic buffer obtained by the experiments is required for the simulation. However, the experiments for obtaining such a quasi-static map is costly and time consuming. In this paper, it proposes a method for deriving the quasi-static map of hydraulic buffer from the theoretical model.

This paper discusses automation of a small-scale hydraulic shovel and its trajectory control. To move an end-effect (grinder) along a desired trajectory, the controller uses PID(proportional-integral- defferential) control and internal pressure of hydraulic cylinder. To apply PID control in the present hydraulic system, the system model is derived physically and its system parameters are obtained by actual measurement. To show the effectiveness of the PID controller and propriety of system model, the computer simulations and experiments are performed. These results of the simulations and experiments indicate that the PID trajectory control of robotic deburring by hydraulic shovel is very effective.

Baroclinic hydraulic model experiments on the time-varying states of the flow pattern and water exchange in Sagami Bay were carried out based on quasi-steady state experiments on the flow pattern. For the model experiments, density changes as well as time changes in the volume transport of the upper layer were executed to investigate the flow response of the bay in the case of a sudden inflow of low density water and variable volume transport into the Sagami Bay. The results of the model experiments showed that when the volume transport was increased frontal eddies or frontal wave streamers from the Kuroshio Through Flow were transferred to the inner part of the bay along with cyclonic circulation in the bay. In addition, density boundary currents appeared and flowed along the eastern boundary of the bay. As the upper layer density decreased, frontal eddies, frontal streamers and coastal boundary density currents occurred and proceeded along the eastern boundary of the bay at a high speed.

This study on the HwaBuk Multipurpose Dam showed that two- and three- dimensional numerical model experiments, as well as hydraulic model experiments, can be useful analysis tools for engineers. A commercially available RMA2, which solves the shallow water equations, and FLOW-3D, which solves the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations, were used to simulate the hydraulic model setup. Numerical simulation results on the following were compared with the hydraulic model results: the flow in the reservoir basin and the approaching channel; the discharge in the overflow weir; the water surface profiles in the rollway, chute, and stilling basin; and the pressure distributions in the rollway. It was shown that there is a reasonably good agreement between the numerical model and the hydraulic model for the most of computations. There were, however, some differences between the numerical simulation results and hydraulic model results for the hydraulic jump in the stilling basin because of air entrainment effect.
