The simulation results of final closing by the developed model considering the flows through tide embankment of non-Darcy and through sluice gate agree well to the observed data which shows the model applicability. In comparative analysis with observed data, the simulation results by Homma(1958) are more accurate than those by Na(1987). The free flow equation with discharge coefficient, regardless of free or submerged flows, by Na based on the submergence ratio is applicable to the engineering practices. Because two simulated discharges are greater than the actual one, the correction of discharge coefficients reflecting the irregular section of actual closing gap situation is necessary. In the hydraulic analysis of final closing, the flow through tide embankment has been generally analysed by Darcy. Hydraulic analysis by the correct discharge through tide embankment of non-Darcy flow is necessary, because the ratio between flows through tide embankment and closing gap is relatively great at final closing.

In this study, the impact on the circulating water system has been analyzed due to an installation of helical turbine to develop hydro-kinetic energy at the discharge channel of the power plant. Numerical simulations of velocity and pressure variations have been performed when one set of $3.6\;m\;{\times}\;1.5\;m$ sized helical turbine is installed at the outlet of discharge culvert. In case of mean sea level, change of downstream water surface elevation does not affect upstream elevation of the weir because its propagation is blocked by the seal well weir. However in case of highest high water level, change of downstream elevation affects upstream elevation because flow pattern in discharge culvert becomes the full pipe flow with submerged weir. Although an unstable pressure change occurs in upstream of the weir during the intial 10 minutes after beginning of the discharge, it becomes stable after that time. In addition, a rise of water surface elevation by 0.2 m is observed but it is concluded that it hardly affects the safety of circulating water pump (CWP) although its required power is increased more or less. Therefore, the increase of required power of CWP needs to be considered for evaluation of the helical turbine applicability.

본 논문에서는 전기적인 도전율이 다른 도전성수용액에 침적된 고분자 표면의 연면방전 현상에 대해 연구하였다. 실험용 고분자로는 몰드변압기의 주재로 사용되는 필라충진 에폭시 수지를 사용하였으며, 서로 다른 도전성 수용액을 분사한 후 전압을 인가하여 접지선전류, 방전개시전압 및 연면방전전압 등을 측정하였다. 실험결과, 두 전극간의 거리가 멀어질수록 방전개시전압이 상승하였으며, 도전성수용액의 도전율이 높을수록 방전개시전압이 낮아지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 파형분석결과 극간거리와 도전성수용액의 도전율에 상관없이 특정 주파수영역에서 고주파가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 연면방전이 발생하였을 때 특정주파수에 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to analyze the operation of the sluice gates by taking Sabkyo Reservoir as the model, and to examine the formulae of the design criteria for the Agricultural Land Improvement Project by hydraulic model experiments. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. According to the records of gate operation for 9 years, the mean height of the opened gates was 4.13 m, the mean number of operated gates were 4.04, the average annual number of operation were 67 times, the average annual operating time were 192.5 hours, and the average operating time were 2.88 hours. 2. The water supplied through Sabkyo Reservoir was 88.15 megatons per year, which was about 1.4 times the effective storage capacity. And the annual volume of pumping in May, which is the most water demanding season, was 29.56 megatons in average. 3. As the submerged orifice was transformed into the surface orifice, the suggested formulae for the orifice flow on the design criteria for the Agricultural Land Improvement Project showed a discontinuous line on the transition zone. It should be improved, because it is different from the real hydraulic phenomena. 4. The formulae for the orifice flow which are divided into the submerged and surface orifices are being used. However, these formulae could be substituted for the formular, $q=C{\cdot}W\sqrt{2gH_1}$, if the discharge coefficient considering the reservoir water level, the sea water level, and the gate opening height is used.

The water quantity by intake station as well as the tributary flow discharge acting as sink or source were added to the main flow rate in the present study and RMA-2 and RMA-4 models were applied to the reach from Pal-dang dam to Jam-sil submerged weir to investigate the influence of water supply withdrawal on the river flow and water quality. The numerical results revealed that the water supply withdrawal from 5 intake stations located upstream of Jam-sil submerged weir changed the total flow rate and therby induced different hydraulic characteristics in terms of water surface elevation and velocity. The changed flow field by the inclusion of water intake quantity led to the variation of water quality. By the consideration of the water supply withdrawal, the velocity structure was significantly disturbed by the outflowing flow condition nearby Gu-ui, Ja-yang, and Pung-nap intake stations. Furthermore, the mean velocity was lowered by 25% and the stage upstream of Gu-ui station rose upto 1.5 cm compared with the result by exclusion of water intake. In case of no water withdrawal, the distribution of BOD concentration was parallel throughout the domain. However, when the water withdrawal is considered, the distribution of BOD concentration nearby the Gu-ui, Am-sa, and Ja-yang station was signifiantly changed. In addition, the BOD concentration including the intake stations showed higher value at the downstream of the reach due to the loss of the discharge by water withdrawal effect. It is concluded that both the inflow and outflow discharges from tributaries and water intake stations should be included in the numerical simulation to analyze the hydrodynamic behaviors and mixing characteristics more accurately.

This research was to develope the economical treatment processes of the landfill leachate to meet the legal discharge standards. To achieve this purpose, experiments were conducted in laboratory to choose the optimum process and to obtain the design factors before a pi!ot-scale test. The concept of the process developing in this research was using the reverse osmosis system. The submerged membrane bio-reactor was used to achieve pre-treatment of reverse osmosis system and the concentrate was treated by evaporator with land fill gas as a fuel. The results of the research showed that SS, $BOD_5$, $COD_{cr}$, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and T-N were removed 99.0%, 43.0%, 12.9%, 48.5% and 18.7% respectively in the submerged membrane bio-reactor. The reverse osmosis system could remove $BOD_5$, $COD_{cr}$, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and T-N as an efficiency of97.5%, 97.6%, 79.7% and 85.4% respectively. The evaporator could remove $COD_{cr}$, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and T-N as an efficiency of 90.5%, 50.6% and 63.3% respectively. However the condensed water of the evaporator was not satisfied the legal standard and should be treated in reverse osmosis with the pre-treated leachate.

The existing gate operation rule of Paldang hydroelectric plant has been used since the construction of the dam in 1973 except partial modification due to the construction of Chungju multipurpose dam in 1985. The water level near the downstream of Paldang dam has been lowered about 3 m because of the channel maintenance of Han River development project. Thus, the discharge estimation formula based on the submerged orifice type spillway has to be re-evaluated by considering various patterns of the gate operation rules and lowered channel bed. In this study, three types of gate openings were tested to select the proper gate operation rules through the hydraulic model test for various discharges and opening heights. Also, the numerical analysis has been performed to simulate the flow patterns of downstream. As a result, the gate operation rule, which opens 5 gates each time from the left side, was selected as the proper gate operation rule of Paldang dam.

Parshall flume is more practical one of hydraulic structures for measuring flowrate in open channels and also has more advantages when the magnitude of flow velocity is relatively lower or much more sediments are brought from upstream. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has suggested the empirical formulas standardized by the sizes and dimensions of Parshall flume. However, the related studies using the numerical simulations and experiments are relatively rare. Therefore, in this study, it was examined whether the numerical simulation was adequacy for reproducing the hydraulic characteristics of Parshall flume as much as laboratory experiments by comparing the results from numerical simulations and empirical equation. And for arbitrary Parshall flume, that is unlisted in the ISO standards due to environmental conditions, constructional difficulties etc, thus, the hydraulic experiments should be conducted to obtain the empirical formulas for it, the results from numerical simulations were compared with those of laboratory experiments. Consequently, it was convinced that the numerical simulation about Parshall flume was simulated appropriately instead of experimental approach. And the dimensionless discharge equation of arbitrary ones was suggested using the results of numerical simulations, and the equation was validated by comparing with laboratory experimental results showing the maximum relative error of 2.3%. If the actual topography, the shape of inlet and submerged flow, which is excluded in this study, were carefully considered, it would be possible to supply a simple empirical discharge equation based on numerical results. Also, it can replete hard works for hydraulic experiment being error-prone with complex procedures to a minimum of economic effort.

The behavior of a plane buoyant jet within the zone of flow establishment(ZFE) which is discharged vertically upward into a stagnant uniform environment, is analyzed by the integral equations of mass, momentum and tracer conservation. The analysis includes the spreading ratio with Froude number and geometry of the potential core of ZFE and the length of ZFE. The central velocity at the end of ZFE is found to be influenced significantly by buoyancy, especially at low discharge Froude number. The results provide the necessary initial conditions for the investigation of the zone of established flow.

A laboratory-scale submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) was continuously operated for 100 d at an infinite sludge retention time (SRT) with the aim of identifying possible relation between the filterability of mixed liquor and sludge properties, such as extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), soluble microbial products (SMP), viscosity of mixed liquor, zeta potential of flocs and particle size distributions (PSD). Research results confirmed that MBR can operate with a complete sludge retention ensuring good treatment performances for COD and $NH_3-N$. However, the long term operation (about 40 d) of MBR with no sludge discharge had a negative influence on sludge filterability, and an increase in membrane fouling rates with the time was observed. There as a strong correlation between the sludge filterability and the fouling rate. Among the different sludge properties parameters, the concentration SMP and EPS had a more closely correlation with the sludge filterability. The concentrations of SMP, especially SMP with MW above 10 kDa, had a strong direct correlation to the filterability of mixed sludge. The protein fractions in EPS were biodegradable and available for microorganism metabolism after about 60 days, and the carbohydrates in EPS had a significantly negative effect on sludge filterability in MBR at an infinite SRT.
