Sedimentation is one of the most common and important units in conventional water treatment plant. Structure such as various baffle walls and inclined plate settler may be obstacles to the horizontal flow when it is poorly designed. Therefore, the effects of these structures on characteristics of hydraulic flow must be evaluated to improve the settling efficiency of the floc. The hydraulic characteristic of the two sedimentations at Y water treatment plant (YWTP), which have different deflector baffles inside the settling basin, were investigated by tracer (fluoride) test. The inclined plate settler installed inside settling basin caused an undesirable impact on horizontal flow and produced dead zone. Solid baffle wall under the plate settler could help to minimize the formation of density currents and flow short circuiting. NaF used as a tracer was recovered more than 90% at investigated all basins. Morill index ($t_{90}/t_{10}$), Modal index ($t_p/T-HRT$) and short-circuiting index ($[M-HRT-t_p]/M-HRT$) were determined from tracer test results performed at YWTP. Those indices ranged 2.95~3.02, 0.40~0.53 and 0.32~0.46, respectively.

Sedimentation is one of the most common and important units in conventional water treatment plants. Structure such as various baffle walls and inclined plate settler may be obstacles to the horizontal flow when it is poorly designed. Therefore, the effects of these structures on characteristics of hydraulic flow must be evaluated to improve the settling efficiency of the floc. The hydraulic characteristic of the four sedimentations at the three real WTPs (water treatment plants), which have different structural properties respectively inside the settling basin, were investigated by tracer (fluoride) test. The inclined plate settler installed inside settling basin caused a undesirable impact on horizontal flow and produced dead zone. Intermediate baffle and solid baffle wall under the inclined plate settler at GE plant help to minimize the formation of density currents and flow short circuiting. However, installing perforated baffle under the inclined plate settler at other plants could not induce even distribution of flow. NaF used as a tracer was recovered more than 90% at investigated all basin. Morill index ($t_{90}/t_{10}$), Modal index ($t_p/T-HRT$) and short-circuiting index ($[M-HRT-t_p/M-HRT$) were determined from tracer test results performed at three WTPs. Those indices ranged 2.99~3.45, 0.44~0.72 and 0.23~0.47, respectively.

This paper deals with the measurement and analysis on the scavenging performance of the oppet-valve type two-stroke engine with different shroud system. The scavenging flow characteristics is investigated by flow visualization under steady condition, in which a dye is introduced into single-cycle method using the difference of specific gravity between two working fluids is used to evaluate the scavenging efficiency and the trapping efficiency. The 90° shroud system was found to be the highest efficiency system through both flow visualization and single-cycle test, as well as the shroud system to generally be efficient for reducing a short-circuiting flow during scavenging process in a two-stoke engine.

하 폐수 처리장의 방류수 수질은 최종 침전지의 성능에 의해 직접적으로 영향을 받으므로 최종 침전지의 효율적 설계 및 운전은 하 폐수 처리에 소요되는 비용 절감과 더불어 수질보전을 위한 하수 정화의 목표를 달성할 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 장방형 최종 침전지의 성능 개선을 위하여 유입구 위치와 정류벽 설치에 따른 내부 유동특성 및 고형물질의 제거효율을 수치해석방법을 통해 평가하였다. 개발된 2차원 컴퓨터 프로그램은 방사성 추적자를 이용한 체재시간분포 곡선과의 비교를 통해 성공적으로 검증된 수치해석 모델로 수력학적 구조변경에 대한 침전지의 성능 예측을 가능하게 하였다. 최종 침전지의 유입구 위치는 낮을수록 침전지에 형성된 강력한 바닥흐름과 수표면 역흐름으로 나타나는 밀도류를 저감시켰으며 침강된 슬러지의 하류 이동을 감소시켰다. 최종 침전지 유입부에 설치된 정류벽은 유입수가 출구로 직접 흐르는 단락류를 방지하고 밀도 저류로 유입되도록 하여 방류수 수질을 향상시키나 유입구 위치가 낮은 경우에 설치된 정류벽은 오히려 방류수 수질을 떨어뜨리는 결과를 초래하였다. 결국 최종 침전지의 성능 개선을 위한 수력학적 구조변경 및 설계는 다양한 변수에 대한 조직적인 수치해석 연구가 필요하며 선행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

A prototype surface flow constructed wetland was built in the upstream area of reclaimed tidal lands to improve the water quality of Lake Sihwa by treating severely polluted stream water. In this study, a tracer test using rhodamine-WT was performed to investigate the flow characteristics and to quantify the observed hydraulic residence time (HRT) for a high-lying cell in the Banwol wetland of the Sihwa constructed wetland. The tracer test indicated that even if flow was mainly observed in the open water area of the Banwol wetland, water flowed continuously in the vegetative area and there was no dead zone. The calculated HRT (51.3 hrs), calculated by dividing the wetland volume by the wetland inflow, exceeded the observed HRT (38.7 hrs), since the short-circuiting of flux resulting from irregular topography and vegetation was not reflected in the calculated HRT. The exit tracer concentration curves were reproduced well by both the plug flow with dispersion and tanks-in-series models, indicating that the performance of the Banwol wetland can be estimated accurately using these models.

In this study, DWTP Advisor developed from U.S. EPA was adapted for performance assessment in small water treatment plant and studied for improvement advice about the problem. From results of performance assessment, the ability of each major unit process meets to Peak Instantaneous Flow(PIF) as Type I (above 95% of PIF) in N WTP. But, outlet condition in the sedimentation basin are permitting the loss of solids from the basin and the lack of proper solids removal is degrading the performance in N WTP. From results of the hydraulic analysis using fluoride tracer, flow rate in sedimentation basin is rapidly more lower than upper. The Reynolds number, Re, and Froude number, Fr which are used to predict flow condition in sedimentation basin is calculated to be 3159.98 and $2.06{\times}10^{-7}$, respectively. There is possibility of occurrence of short-circuiting and turbulence. Also, the different type of effluent trough makes unstable flow in sedimentation basin and increases carry-overing of sedimented solids.

장방형 횡류식 침전지는 정수 공정에서 일반적으로 활용되고 있는 침전지 형태로 정수공정 전체에서 탁질 제거 비중이 가장 큰 매우 중요한 공정이다. 횡류식침전지는 유입탁도, 수온 등의 변화에 의해 단락류와 밀도류가 발생하게 되는데 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 지내 정류벽을 설치하는 방안이 제안되기도 했지만 정류공에서 발생되는 제트류 등의 문제로 인해 실제 적용사례는 없는 실정이다. 본 연구는 침전지의 전단면에 수류가 일정하게 흐르도록 유도할 수 있는 이동식정류장치에 관한 연구이다. 이동식 정류장치는 부드러운 천 재질의 정류벽이 침전지 전단면에 거쳐 수류의 흐름과 동일한 속도로 이동하면서 침전지내에서 발생될 수 있는 밀도류와 단락류를 조절하여 침전지내 수류 흐름을 전단면에서 일정하게 유도하는 장치이다. 이동식 정류장치를 가동한 결과 침전지 체류시간이 1시간 연장되는 효과를 나타냈다. 즉 다시 말해 염소 이온 최고농도 유출시간이 100분에서 160분으로 연장되었다. 탁도 제거율 시험은 원수 탁도와 체류시간 변화에 따라 연속식과 회분식으로 각각 시험하였다. 탁도 개선율은 연속 운전 방식에서 36%, 회분식 운전 방식에서 58%를 각각 나타냈다. 따라서 장방형 횡류식 침전지에 본 연구에서 제안한 이동식 정류장치를 도입할 경우 30% 이상 탁도 개선이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

CFD is applied to evaluate pedestrian wind comfort at outdoor platforms in a high-rise apartment building. Model validation is focused on generic building sub-configurations that are obtained by decomposition of the actual complex building geometry. The comfort study is performed during the design stage, which allows structural design changes to be made for wind comfort improvement. Preliminary simulations are performed to determine the effect of different design modifications. A full wind comfort assessment study is conducted for the final design. Structural remedial measures for this building, aimed at reducing pressure short-circuiting, appear to be successful in bringing the discomfort probability estimates down to acceptable levels. Finally, the importance of one of the main sources of uncertainty in this type of wind comfort studies is illustrated. It is shown that the uncertainty about the terrain roughness classification can strongly influence the outcome of wind comfort studies and can lead to wrong decisions. This problem is present to the same extent in both wind tunnel and CFD wind comfort studies when applying the same particular procedure for terrain relation contributions as used in this paper.
