In this study hydraulic experiment was carried out to investigate the flow characteristics in the submerged outlet structure of Boryeong power plant and the efficiency of bubble reduction by installing horizontal porous plate in the outlet structure. The cross-sectional mean velocity in the submerged outlet structure was smaller than 1 m/s, the target value at the design stage to prevent bubble outflow to the open sea area. In addition, it was found that the maximum depth of bubble penetration is reduced 30 to 50% by installing the horizontal porous plate at the second falling location in the submerged outlet structure. It is expected that the total bubble amount entrained in the water will be most efficiently reduced by installing square-hole-shape porous plate of 20 cm hole size and making its central section as non-porous structure to dissipate the energy of falling water.

Techniques for selectively separating molecules of gas and liquid states using various separation membranes have been widely used in variety of applications such as chemical, biological, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industries. As the nanochannel diameter, inter-channel distance and length of the nanochannel of the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes can be precisely controlled, various studies to effectively separate mixture of various molecules using AAO membrane have been widely carried out. In this study, we fabricated AAO membranes of cylindrical nanochannels of various diameter sizes and of through-hole structure, that is, nanochannels of which both ends of each nanochannel are open. Using those AAO membranes of through-hole nanochannel structure, we studied the selective permeation polymer chains dissolved in a solvent based on hydraulic volume of the polymer chains. We found a precise, quantitative relationship between the radius of gyration of polymer chains that permeated through nanochannels inside AAO membrane and the diameter of nanochannels. In addition, we demonstrate that the behavior of the polymer solution flowing through nanochannel of the AAO membrane can be successfully described with the Hagen-Poiseuille relationship. It is, therefore, possible to theoretically interpret the nanoflow of the solution flowing inside the cylindrical nanochannel.

Changes in political and economic environments require a new concept of 'culture' and a paradigm shift in cultural policies. Especially, broadcasting is needed to construct a productive infra-structure in order to play its role as culture industry in multi-channel environments caused by the progress of digital technology. In addition, Korea-USA FTA Agreement and a subsequently expected open policy of broadcasting market raise issues of a flow of foreign capital and a compatibility of cultural diversities and cultural identities. From this perspective, this study attempts to suggest alternatives for cultural diversity of program contents in new global media environments. More specifically, these alternatives examine the meaning and achievements of co-production of broadcasting programs as an active and direct method to preserve cultural identities and universalities of cultural contents at the same time. Details of this study are as follows: thorough review of internation co-production and program format industries and their possibilities to overcome cultural harriers and to provide local alternatives.

The analysis performed here is aimed to increase the familiarity of hydrologic process especially for the small basins which are densely gaged. Kyung An and Mu Shim river basins are selected as a representative basin according to the criteria which UNESCO has established back in 1964 and being operated under the auspice of Ministry of Construction. The data exerted from these basins is utilized for the determination of characteristics of procipitation and runoff phenomena for the small basin, which is considered as a typical Korean samall watershed. The study found that the areal distribution of preciptation did not show any significant deviation from the point rainfall. Since the area studied is less than 20 km#, the pointrainfall may be safely utilized as a representative value for the area. Also the effect of elevation on the precipitation has a minor significance in the small area where the elevation difference is less than 200m. The methodology developed by Soil Conservation Service for determination of runoff value from precipitation is applied to find the suitability of the method to Korean river basin. The soil cover complex number or runoff curve number was determined by comsidering the type of soil, soil cover, land use and other factors such as antecedent moisture content. The average values of CN for Kyung An and Mushim river basins were found to be 63.9 and 63.1 respectively under AMC II, however, values obtained from soil cover complex were less than those from total precipitation and effective precipitation about 10-30%. It may be worth to note that an attention has to be paid in application of SCS method to Korean river basin by adjusting 10-30% increase to the value obtained from soil cover complex. Finally, the design flood hydrograph was consturcted by employing unit hydrograph technique to the dimensionless mass curve. Also a stepwise multiple regression was performed to find the relationship between runoff and API, evapotranspiration rate, 5 days antecedentprecipitation and daily temperature.

식생된 개수로에서 식생의 영향을 파악하기 위해 k-$\in$ 난류 모형을 이용하여 수치모의를 하였다. 식생의 영향을 고려하기 위해 항력항을 추가한 지배방정식을 구성하였으며, 지배방정식을 해석하기 위하여 유한체적법을 사용하였다. 수치모의에서 구한 식생된 개수로의 흐름구조를 기존의 수리실험 결과와 비교하여 비교적 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있다. 난류의 생성과 소멸을 수치모의한 결과, 부분구간 식생된 경우 식생높이 보다 낮은 구간에서는 후류에 의한 난류 생성이 지배적이며, 식생높이보다 높은 구간에서는 주로 마찰에 의한 난류 생성이 지배적임을 보였다. 기존의 연구들은 식생의 영향을 고려하여 개수로의 흐름을 연구한 예는 드물며, 현재까지 진행되어진 국내의 연구는 난류모형을 이용하여 식생된 개수로에서의 흐름 구조를 모의하였다. 따라서 난류흐름을 모의하는데 가장 보편적인 k-$\in$ 난류모형을 이용하여 식생된 개수로에서 수직방향으로의 흐름구조와 식생의 영향을 해석하는 것은 그 자체로도 의미 있는 연구이며, 앞으로의 환경수리 문제를 해결하기 위해 선행되어야 하는 연구이다. 식생된 개수로에서의 난류구조와 부유사 이동에 대한 식생의 영향을 비정상 1차원 수직모형으로 해석하였으며, 폐합문제를 위해 2-방정식인 k-$\in$ 난류모형을 사용하였다. k-$\in$ 난류모형에 식생에 의한 항력항을 더하여 지배방정식을 구성하였다. 수직방향에 대해 흐름방향 유속 u, 난류에너지 k, 그리고 난류에너지 소산율 $\in$의 분포를 구하고, 부유사에 대한 수송방정식을 풀었다. 식생된 개수로와 식생되지 않은 개수로에서의 유속분포, 난류강도, 레이놀즈 응력 분포와 난류의 생성과 소멸을 구하여 식생이 난류흐름에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

자연하천에 존재하는 식생은 동식물에게 주거지를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 영양염류 흡착 및 정화작용을 통해 수질을 개선시키는 역할을 한다. 이러한 식생하천에 오염물질이 유입될 경우 식생에 의한 흐름 교란 작용으로 인해 오염물의 확산거동에 큰 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 식생하천에서의 오염물질 혼합특성을 분석하기 위해 식생모형 실험을 수행하였고, Fischer et al (1979)이 제시한 이론식을 실험결과에 적용하여 종분산계수를 산정하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 자연하천을 재현하기 위해 실험수로에 수중식생 모형을 설치한 후 ADV-Vectrino유속계를 이용하여 유속을 측정하였으며 실험을 통해 식생흐름에서의 유속분포 자료를 취득하고 이를 바탕으로 종분산계수를 산정하였다. 먼저 수중 식생흐름에서 연직유속분포를 측정한 결과, 식생이 존재하는 바닥근처에서는 유속이 느리다가 비식생 구간으로 가면서 유속이 증가하는 분포를 나타낸다. 또한 이 설치된 테스트 구간에 밀도와 유량변화에 따른 케이스를 적용하여 비교 및 분석을 한 결과 식생 밀도를 고정시키고 유량을 증가 시켰을 때 식생구간과 식생이 없는 구간에서의 유속도 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 유량을 고정시키고 식생의 밀도를 순차적으로 높였을 경우 식생구간에서의 유속이 점차적으로 줄어드는 경향을 보였다. 다음으로 분산계수를 결정하는 방법에는 농도자료를 이용하는 방법과 유속자료를 이용하는 방법이 있는데 본 연구에서는 유속자료를 Fischer et al. (1979)의 이론식에 적용하여 분산계수를 산정하는 방법을 적용하였다. Fischer et al. (1979)가 제시한 식에서 먼저 전단 유속 값을 산정하기 위해 벽법칙 (Karman, 1930), 레이놀즈 전단응력 그리고, 난류운동에너지 (Graf, 1998) 방법을 사용한 후 복잡한 난류 흐름에 적용하기 가장 적합하다는 난류운동에너지 방법을 적용하여 전단 응력이 가장 크게 나온 식생모델 끝단에서의 값을 사용하였다. 그 결과, 수중 식생이 존재하는 흐름에서 무차원화 시킨 종분산계수는 6.89-9.78로 나타났다, 이는 Elder (1959)의 수심 적분을 통해 제시한 종분산계수 값 5.93보다 크다. 즉, 수중 식생이 존재할 경우 종분산계수는 식생이 존재 하지 않을 때 보다 증가하는 것으로 보여 진다.

Incheon Bridge, 18.4 km long sea-crossing bridge, will be opened to the traffic in October 2009 and this will be the new landmark of the gearing up north-east Asia as well as the largest & longest bridge of Korea. Incheon Bridge is the integrated set of several special featured bridges including a magnificent cable-stayed girder bridge which has a main span of 800 m width to cross the navigation channel in and out of the Port of Incheon. Incheon Bridge is making an epoch of long-span bridge designs thanks to the fully application of the AASHTO LRFD (load & resistance factor design) to both the superstructures and the substructures. A state-of-the-art of the geotechnologies which were applied to the Incheon Bridge construction project is introduced. The most Large-diameter drilled shafts were penetrated into the bedrock to support the colossal superstructures. The bearing capacity and deformational characteristics of the foundations were verified through the world's largest static pile load test. 8 full-scale pilot piles were tested in both offshore site and onshore area prior to the commencement of constructions. Compressible load beyond 30,000 tonf pressed a single 3 m diameter foundation pile by means of bi-directional loading method including the Osterberg cell techniques. Detailed site investigation to characterize the subsurface properties had been carried out. Geotextile tubes, tied sheet pile walls, and trestles were utilized to overcome the very large tidal difference between ebb and flow at the foreshore site. 44 circular-cell type dolphins surround the piers near the navigation channel to protect the bridge against the collision with aberrant vessels. Each dolphin structure consists of the flat sheet piled wall and infilled aggregates to absorb the collision impact. Geo-centrifugal tests were performed to evaluate the behavior of the dolphin in the seabed and to verify the numerical model for the design. Rip-rap embankments on the seabed are expected to prevent the scouring of the foundation. Prefabricated vertical drains, sand compaction piles, deep cement mixings, horizontal natural-fiber drains, and other subsidiary methods were used to improve the soft ground for the site of abutments, toll plazas, and access roads. Light-weight backfill using EPS blocks helps to reduce the earth pressure behind the abutment on the soft ground. Some kinds of reinforced earth like as MSE using geosynthetics were utilized for the ring wall of the abutment. Soil steel bridges made of corrugated steel plates and engineered backfills were constructed for the open-cut tunnel and the culvert. Diverse experiences of advanced designs and constructions from the Incheon Bridge project have been propagated by relevant engineers and it is strongly expected that significant achievements in geotechnical engineering through this project will contribute to the national development of the longspan bridge technologies remarkably.

An experimental study is performed in order to catch the characteristics of the flow field at arrested salt wedge, using a rectangular open channel. Arrested salt wedge is generally so stable that the observations are easy, but velocities and interfacial waves are measured with the aid of visualization method, by injection of fluorescent dyes. The density interface, which is defined as the zone of maximum density variation with depth, exists in about 0.5 cm below the visual interface, and vertical density profile is quite well satisfied with Homeborn model. Interfacial layer has high turbulent intensity and its thickness decreases as the overall Richardson number increases and has magnitude of roughly 17% of upper layer. Cross-sectional velocity distribution just shows the influence of a side-wall friction and in the upper layer vertical velocity profile also becomes uniformly as Reynolds number increases, but in the lower layer it shows nearly parabolic type. Supposes that we divide salt wedge into three domains, that is, river mouth, intermediate and tip zone, entertainment coefficient is small at the intermediate zone and large at the river mouth and the tip zone. River mouth or intermediate zone has comparatively stable interface and capillary wave therefore s produced and propagated downstream. On the other hand, tip zone is very unstable, cusping ripple or bursting ripple is then produced incessantly. Arrested salt wedge form is nearly linear and has no relation to densimetric Froude number and Reynolds number.

An hydraulic experiment was carried out in an open channel flume in order to improve the technique of designing shape of the sluice used for tidal power generation, which greatly affects the economical efficiency of the construction of a tidal power plant. To predict the influence of change in the major design parameters relating to the sluice shape on the water discharge capability of the sluice, it was necessary to perform a precise experiment that is discriminated to previous feasibility studies or design projects. For this purpose, by installing various flow straighteners and rectifying structures inside the water supply system and the rectifying tank, the flow in the flume was stabilized as tranquil as possible. In addition, the measuring instruments and the location of installing them were carefully determined so as to minimize the errors intervened during the measurement of water discharge and water level. The method of estimating head difference between upstream and downstream of the sluice was also developed by taking account of the head loss due to the friction at the bottom and side walls in the flume.

The 99.1% of small dam and most of the levees in Korea are soil dam which can be constructed with lower cost and less effort compared with ones made of concrete. However, they are so vulnerable to overflow. Sudden collapses of these strucrues lead to increase flow rate rapidly, which may cause catastrophic problems in downstream regions. In this study, the experimental study on the collapse delay effect of riprap that was laid on slope of soil levee was carried out. A prismatic rectangular open channel was used and three different sizes of the riprap were installed on slope of a scaled earth dam. A new formula for the collapse time of the levee with the installation of riprap was presented, using the previous researches and the dimensional analysis. In this process, an unsteady flow condition was considered to derive the deviation time of the riprap. And additional experiments were conducted to understand the effect of reinforcement of riprap, and it was found that the reinforcement of riprap was more effective than twice sizing of intial riprap. If the collapse time is delayed, EAP (Emergency Action Plan) and forecasting can greatly reduce the degree of flood damage. Also, it will be meaningful that the results of this study are used for river design.
