2004년 12월 2일부터 8일까지 한국 남해의 표층 부유물질의 분포를 초겨울의 해황과 관련하여 조사하였다. 쓰시마와 제주도를 잇는 지선을 중심으로 전선이 형성되었으며, 이 전선을 중심으로 한국 남해의 연안수와 외양의 쓰시마난류수로 구분되었다. 연안역은 표층에서 저층까지 거의 균일한 수괴 분포를 보였으며, 외양은 성층이 형성되어 있었다. 그리고 부유물질은 연직혼합된 연안역에서는 5.0-6.5 mg/l였으며, 성층이 형성된 외양역은 4.5-5.0 mg/1의 분포를 나타내었다. 초겨울 한국 남해는 표면 냉각 효과와 바람에 의해서 저층의 부유물질이 충분히 재부유할 수 있는 환경이었음을 나타내고 있었다. 또한 관측 기간동안 비록 조류가 비교적 약한 소조기 이었음에도 불구하고 열플럭스에 의한 냉각효과와 바람에 의한 혼합 효과가 강하여 표층과 저층이 혼합하기에 용이하였음을 나타내었다. 이에 따라 수심이 얕은 연안역에서는 저층 퇴적물의 재부유에 의해서 부유 물질이 증가될 수 있음을 시사하고 있었다.

We validated the performance of RELAP MOD3.3 code regarding the hybrid SIT with available experimental data. The concept of the hybrid SIT is to connect the pressurizer to SIT to utilize the water inside SIT in the case of SBO or SB-LOCA combined with TLOFW. We investigated how well RELAP5 code predicts the physical phenomena in terms of the equilibrium time, stratification, condensation against Separate Effect Test (SET) data. We also conducted the validation of RELAP5 code against Integrated Effect Test (IET) experimental data produced by the ATLAS facility. We followed conventional approach for code validation of IET data, which are pre-test and post-test calculation. RELAP5 code shows substantial difference with changing number of nodes. The increase of the number of nodes tends to reduce the condensation rate at the interface between liquid and vapor inside the hybrid SIT. The environmental heat loss also contributes to the large discrepancy between the simulation results of RELAP5 and the experimental data.

The dynamics of water quality with the storm events were analyzed in a small reservoir for irrigation, Lake Wangkung. Water quality of the inflowing stream fluctuated seasonally with the variation of flow rate. Thermal stratification was consistent from April to October below 2 m depths and anoxic layer was developed below 2 m depth in summer. The unique feature of temperature showed that thermal stratification was disrupted by a heavy rain event during monsoon, but hypolimnetic hypoxia were reestablished after a few days. Phosphorus and nitrogen increased immediately following storm events. The marked increase may be due to the input of P-rich storm runoff from the watershed. Internal phosphorus loading can be one of the explanations for TP increases in summer. When there was a storm, total populations of phytoplankton and zooplankton was reduced immediately following the storm, indicating possible flushing of algae and zooplankton. After a lag period of low-density the plankton population bloomed to a peak again within five days after the storm. Turbid water in lake became clear again which coincided with the time of the phytoplankton buildup. The results demonstrate that water quality is regulated greatly by rainfall intensity in Lake Wangkung.

This paper aims at presenting the state of the art, the recent progress, and the perspective for the future, in the modelling of two-phase flow in the horizontal legs of a PWR. All phenomena relevant for safety analysis are listed first. The selection of the modelling approach for system codes is then discussed, including the number of fluids or fields, the space and time resolution, and the use of flow regime maps. The classical two-fluid six-equation one-pressure model as it is implemented in the CATHARE code is then presented and its properties are described. It is shown that the axial effects of gravity forces may be correctly taken into account even in the case of change of the cross section area or of the pipe orientation. It is also shown that it can predict both fluvial and torrential flow with a possible hydraulic jump. Since phase stratification plays a dominant role, the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and the stability of bubbly flow regime are discussed. A transition criterion based on a stability analysis of shallow water waves may be used to predict the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. Recent experimental data obtained in the METERO test facility are analysed to model the transition from a bubbly to stratified flow regime. Finally, perspectives for further improvement of the modelling are drawn including dynamic modelling of turbulence and interfacial area and multi-field models.

Membrane fouling in membrane bioreactor (MBR) remains a primary challenge for its wider application. The focus of this study to investigate the influence of iron distribution in activated sludge on gel layer fouling in MBR. Significant reduction in the transmembrane pressure (TMP) rise rates was observed in the presence of iron as result of retarding the gel layer formation time. The spatial distribution of iron had a significant impact on the stratification structure of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) fractions, such as proteins (PN) and polysaccharides (PS). A mitigation of PN or PS from the supernatant to the EPS inner layers was observed in the presence of iron. Compared with the control reactor, the reduction in PN and PS of the supernatant and lower PN/PS rates of the LB-EPS were beneficial to decrease the membrane fouling potential during the gel layer formation. Consequently, the iron addition managed to control gel layer fouling could be a useful strategy in MBR.

The effects of thermal stratification on the flow past a heated circular cylinder with various heating rates were examined in a wind tunnel. Turbulent intensities, r.m.s.values of temperature and turbulent convective heat flux distributions in the cylinder wakes with and without thermal stratification were measured by using a hot-wire and cold-wire combination probe. The phase averaging method was also used to estimate coherent contributions to the turbulent flow field in the near wake. The results show that the scalar mixing process is very different according to the mean temperature fields especially in the upper part of the wake. The coherent structure of the temperature field makes a large contribution to the time mean value like velocity components. However, the coherency of the temperature fluctuation is very different with the change of mean temperature fields, though the velocity coherent motions are quite similar in all experimental conditions.

Internal solitary waves occur due to density stratification and are nonlinear in nature. These waves have been observed in many parts of the world including the South China Sea, Andaman Sea and Sulu Sea. Their effect on floating systems has been an emerging field of interest and recent offshore developments in the South China Sea where several offshore oil and gas discoveries are located have confirmed adverse effects including large platform motions and riser system damage. A valid numerical model conforming to the physics of internal waves is implemented in this paper and the effect on a spar platform is studied. The physics of internal waves is modeled by the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, which has a general solution involving Jacobian elliptical functions. The effects of vertical density stratification are captured by solving the Taylor Goldstein equation. Fully coupled time domain analyses are conducted to estimate the effect of internal waves on a typical truss spar, which is configured to South China Sea development requirements and environmental conditions. The hull, moorings and risers are considered as an integrated system and the platform global motions are analyzed. The study could be useful for future guidance and development of offshore systems in the South China Sea and other areas where the internal wave phenomenon is prominent.

본 연구는 2010년 보돌바다의 수온과 염분 분포를 파악하여 수괴 특성을 조사했다. 조사 정점은 보돌바다 내측과 외측을 중심으로 총 3 정점에 대하여 2010년 7월 29일, 8월 13일, 8월 30일에 각각 조사했다. 조사 시기는 전류시에 모두 해당되고 조사 시간은 오전 11시부터 오후 3시까지 조위가 낮아지는 시기로 조사 조건은 모두 동일하게 실시했다. 정점 1의 경우 7월 29일만 수심 4m에서 수온약층이 발견되었으나, 8월 13일과 8월 30일에는 약층을 볼 수 없고 표층과 저층간의 수온차는 정점 2와 3에 비하여 큰 차이가 없었다. 정점 2와 3은 7월 29일 수온약층이 강하게 형성되어 8월 30일까지 지속적으로 나타났다. 특히 수심 15m부터 저층까지의 냉해수 수괴는 매우 강력하게 유지되고 있는 것으로 보인다. 수온에 비하여 염분은 정점 2와 3에서 8월 13일과 8월 30일 수심이 깊어짐에 따라 농도가 높아지는 경향을 보인 반면에 정점 1은 조사기간 동안 균일한 염분농도를 보였다. 투명도는 정점 2을 기준으로 하여 정점 1과 정점 3은 조사 회수에 따라 변동폭이 매우 큰 반면에 정점 2는 균일하게 나타났다. 따라서 정점 2는 정점 1과 정점 3의 경계 수역임을 알 수 있고 보돌바다는 내 측 상이한 수괴를 형성하고 있으며 보돌바다 외측의 뚜렷한 성층화는 많은 일조량과 약한 풍속 및 8월부터 보돌바다 외측에 고염의 외양수 유입으로 인하여 이러한 성층화 발달의 주요 요인으로 생각된다.

Purpose: While several prognostic models for the stratification of death risk have been developed for patients with advanced gastric cancer receiving first-line chemotherapy, they have seldom been tested in the Chinese population. This study investigated the performance of these models and identified the optimal tools for Chinese patients. Materials and Methods: Patients diagnosed with metastatic or recurrent gastric adenocarcinoma who received first-line chemotherapy were eligible for inclusion in the validation cohort. Their clinical data and survival outcomes were retrieved and documented. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and calibration curves were used to evaluate the predictive ability of the models. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted for patients in different risk groups divided by 7 published stratification tools. Log-rank tests with pairwise comparisons were used to compare survival differences. Results: The analysis included a total of 346 patients with metastatic or recurrent disease. The median overall survival time was 11.9 months. The patients were different into different risk groups according to the prognostic stratification models, which showed variability in distinguishing mortality risk in these patients. The model proposed by Kim et al. showed relative higher predicting abilities compared to the other models, with the highest χ² (25.8) value in log-rank tests across subgroups, and areas under the curve values at 6, 12, and 24 months of 0.65 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.59-0.72), 0.60 (0.54-0.65), and 0.63 (0.56-0.69), respectively. Conclusions: Among existing prognostic tools, the models constructed by Kim et al., which incorporated performance status score, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, and tumor differentiation, were more effective in stratifying Chinese patients with gastric cancer receiving first-line chemotherapy.
