The Objectives of this paper were to develop a modified tank model that is capable of simulating daily streamflow from a small watershed using daily watershed evapotranspiration and to test the applicability of the model to different watersheds. Tank model was restructured to consist of three series of tanks, each of which may mathematically reflect watershed runoff mechanisms from different components of surface runoff, interflow, and baseflow. And pan evaporation was correlated to potential evapotranspiration estimated from a combination method, and was multiplied by monthly crop and landuse coefficients, and watershed storage coefficient to estimate the watershed evapotranspiration losses. Ten watersheds were selected to calibrate model parameters that were defined using an optimization scheme, and the results were correlated with watershed parameters. Simulated daily runoff was compared to the observed ones from the tested watersheds. The simulating results were in good agreement with the observed values when optimal and calibrated parameters were used. Ungaged conditions were also applied to compare simulated values to the observed. And the results were in fair conditions for all the tested watersheds which differ considerably in their sizes, landuse types, and physiological features.

Recently, a number of equipments related with electricity, electronics, and communication in the same building are needed to the grounding system for safety from unexpected accidents. When the faulted electric current flows into a certain grounding system, the potential rise in that system takes place and it might induce the potential rise to other grounding system. This potential interference was strongly affected by the surface potential, which was deeply related with the electrode shape. In this paper, the fundamental formula was deduced on the basis of surface potential of two grounding electrodes. Which corresponds to source of the potential interference and other grounding electrode, respectively. Therefore, the degree of potential interference in this mesh grounding electrode system was verified by the simple model simulation. In addition, in order to identify the difference between the grounding resistance in the realistic construction site and the expected value from the corresponding simulation, the experiment was performed with model on a reduced scale about the realistic grounding system. It consists of stainless steel hemisphere electrodes in a water tank. From this work, the grounding resistance in the mesh grounding electrode showed the good coincidence results between those. Consequently, it is confirmed that the grounding resistance in the mesh electrode is possible to be estimated by performing the experiment using the water tank model.

When freezing is present on ballast water, it can impose additional loads on the hull and effect on stabilization of ship. The anti-icing techniques of ballast water, therefore, are key criteria for ship safety. The existing anti-icing techniques of ballast tank are hull heating, water circulation and air bubble system etc. In this research, anti-icing performance tests for the ballast water using micro-bubble system and sea water circulation system have been carried out at two temperature conditions($-10^{\circ}C$ and $-25^{\circ}C$). Ambient temperature, sea water temperature and temperature of the inner parts of the ballast tank are measured and also ballast water conditions are checked during the model test. The applied anti-icing techniques of ballast water, such as micro-bubble system and sea water circulation system show good performance in the low temperature conditions.

Good cold start characteristics are essential for satisfactory operation of fuel cell vehicles. In this study, the melting process has been numerically investigated for a water tank used in fuel cell vehicles. The 2-D model of the tank containing ice and plate heaters was assumed and the unsteady melting process of the ice was calculated. The enthalpy method was used for the description of the melting process, and a FVM code was used to solve the problem. The feasibility study compared with other experiment showed that the developed program was able to describe the melting process well. From the numerical analysis carried out for different wall temperatures of the pate heaters, some important design factors could be found such as local overheating and pressurization in the tank.

본 연구에서는 개념적인 강우-유출모형인 Tank 모형에 대하여 유역의 다양한 유출특성을 잘 반영할 수 있는 매개변수를 산정하는 데에 그 목적을 두었다. 이를 위한 최적화 알고리즘은 다목적 유전자 알고리즘인 NSGA-II를 선정하여 Tank 모형과 결합하였으며, 4가지의 목적함수를 대상으로 다양한 함수값을 나타내는 비지배관계의 최적군을 생산하였다. 수 백개로 나타나는 최적군의 다양한 해들 중, 특정 목적함수에 대하여서만 정도가 높거나 낮은 편협한 해들을 배제하고 두루 정도가 높은 값을 나타내는 소수의 비지배해들을 추출하기 위하여 선호적 순서화 기법이 적용되었다. 그 결과 많은 해들 중 단 4개의 해가 최우선해의 위치를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 방법론으로 최적화된 해의 적합성을 살펴보고자 국부최적화 기법인 Powell 방법과 기존에 널리 쓰여온 유전자 알고리즘인 SGA(Simple Generic Algoritm)의 결과와 비교 검정을 수행하였다. 비교한 결과 NSGA-II를 적용하여 산정된 매개변수가 4가지 목적함수 및 관측유량과의 통계치에서 두루 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 관측유량과 함께 도식하여 살펴본 결과, NSGA-II의 최우선해가 타 자동보정 기법에 비하여 상대적으로 관측치에 보다 잘 부합되는 모의유량을 계산하는 것으로 나타났다.

수자원 계획 수립이나 관리를 위한 강우-유출 현상 해석에는 장기 유출 모형이 이용된다. 장기 유출 모형은 모형의 보정 과정이 요구되며, 유역별로 특성이 다르기 때문에 유역에 적합하게 매개변수를 보정하여야 한다. 모형의 매개변수를 추정하기 위해서는 주로 연속된 실측 유량자료가 필요하다. 하지만 일부 측정망에서는 일별 유출량 자료가 아닌 불연속적인 유량자료만을 획득할 수 있으며, 이러한 불연속적인 유량자료의 매개변수 보정의 적용에 관한 연구는 다소 미흡하게 진행되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수정 3단 TANK 모형을 대상으로 불연속적인 유량 자료를 이용하여 매개변수 최적화를 수행하고 모의결과를 비교 분석하여 성능을 평가하고자 한다. 유량자료는 국토교통부에서 측정하는 일별 유량자료를 이용하여 2일, 4일, 6일 8일, 10일, 15일 간격의 자료를 생성하여 적용하였으며, 최적화 기법으로는 SCE-UA(Shuffled Complex Evolution method developed at University of Arizona) 기법을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 수문 측정망의 운영에 있어 효율적 측정 주기 설정과 총량측정망 유량자료와 같은 불연속적 유량자료의 장기유출모형 최적화에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Vessels receive stress during their navigations as well as during their cargo operations. This stress may cause damages to the hull and may result in accidents. So the hull stress monitoring system(HSMS) is recommended in order to prevent these accidents. In this paper, we manufactured fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensor and the model ship for towing tank experiments. The strain characteristics of the model ship on the water wave were measured through the towing tank experiment. The FBG sensors and electric strain gauges were attached on the connection jig, and then the characteristics of the FBG sensor were compared with those of the electric strain gauge. The strain of model ship was increased according to the increment of the amplitude of water wave. In particular, the largest strain was measured in the center of the model ship. As the wave period increased, the strain of model ship was decreased.

Purpose: In general, We discharged radioactive wastewater and sewages less than $8.1{\times}10^{-13}$ Ci/ml in a exclusive water-purifier tank. Our hospital operating three exclusive water-purifier tank for radioactive wastewater and sewages of 60 tons capacity respectively. In order to meet the criteria it need a enough decay more than 125 days per each exclusive tank. However, recently we fell into the serious situation that decay period was decreased remarkably, owing to the wastewater amount increased rapidly by enlarge the therapy ward. For that reason, in this article, I'd like to say the way that reducing of radioactive wastewater and sewages rationally. Materials and Methods: From January, 2006 to October, four hundred and two cases were analyzed. They were all hospitalized during 3 days and 2 nights. We calculated the average amount of water used (include toilet water used, shower water used, washstand water used, $\cdots$), each exclusive water-purifier tank's decay period, as well as try to search the increased factors about water-purifier tank inflow flux by re-analysis of the procedure of radioisotope therapy step by step. Results: We could increase each exclusive water-purifier tank's decay period from 84 days to 130 days through the improvement about following cause: (1) Improvement of conventional toilet stool for excessive water waste $\rightarrow$ Replacement of water saving style toilet stool (2) Prevention of unnecessary shower and wash (3) Stop the diuretics taking during hospitalization (4) Analysis of relationship between water intakes and residual dose of body (5) Education about outside toilet utilization before the administration (6) Changed each water-purifier tank's maximum level from85% to 90% Conclusion: The originality of our efforts are not only software but hardware performance improvements. Incidentally the side of software's are change of therapy procedures and protocols, the side of hardware's are replacement of water saving style toilet stool and change of each water-purifier tank's maximum level. Thus even if a long lapse of time, problem such as return to the former conditions may not happen. Besides, We expect that our trials become a new reasonable model in similar situation.
