수격현상(Waterhammer)으로 인한 과도압력하중은 월성원자력발전소 비상노심냉각계통 (Emergency Core Cooling System : ECCS) 설계의 주요 고려사항이다. 비상노심냉각계통은 특수안전계통으로서 냉각재상실사고(Loss of Coolant Accident : LOCA)후 일차열수송계통을 다시 채워주고 핵연료 손상을 막기위해 노심으로부터 잔열 및 붕괴열을 제거한다. 일차열수송계통으로의 비상냉각수 주입은 고압주입, 중압주입, 저압주입 3 단계로 주입된다. 과도압력이 발생될 것으로 예상되는 고압주입과 중압주입에 대한 6가지 사례들이 ECCS의 배관과 지지대 설계를 위해 고려되었다. 모든 사례에 대한 비상노심냉각계통의 과도압력 현상은 PTRAN 코드에 의해 해석 되었고 해석된 최고과도압력은 설계압력보다 작음을 알게 되었다. 모든 사례의 최고압력과 최고차압은 비상노심냉각계통 배관 및 지지대 설계를 위한 응력해석 자료로서 사용될 것이다.

Flow control range of valve, which is installed on pipeline, varies according to valve type, pipe diameter, pipe length, roughness, and elevation difference of both ends of pipeline. A lot of computation efforts and knowledge are needed to estimate flow control range of valve, considering above many parameters. The table of flow control range of each valve type is presented for convenience of pipeline design engineers who must make decision of valve size and type in this study. Also the reason that butterfly valve is recommended for flow control, and gate valve is forbidden is presented via quantification and figures in this study.

The purpose of this study is to develope the computer program to compute the unsteady, transient flow conditions in a hydraulic system. The unstready flow condition may be brought about due to power failure to pump motors, pump start-up or modulation of control valve. The program was written specially for analyzing the water-hammer in the pumping system. The pumping system which can be simulated by the program can contain pipelines, tunnel, surge tanks, branched lines, reservoirs, dead end pipes and valve controls. The use of a computer program to analyze haydranlic transients is of great benifit to the designers of transmission main and distribution systems. Advantages include time savings, the ability to analyze complex piping systems, and increased accuracy. The author outlines a pogram developed for the above system.

Linear curve or hyperbolic curve interpolation equations have been used to represent loss coefficient of butterfly valve according to a certain opening(for example, each 10 degree up to 90 degree) so far, and these equations are not precise and inconvenient to use with computer programming. Method of representing loss coefficient of butterfly valve using experiment data with several equations is presented and It is verified that log equation is most precise and convenient to use with computer programming in this research.

In this study, an expansion joint that is susceptible to waterhammer was tested for its vibration durability. The operation data for the hydraulic actuator was the expansion length of the expansion joint when the waterhammer occurred. In the case of the vibration durability test, the internal temperature status of the expansion joint was assumed to be a stress factor and a lifespan prediction model was assumed to follow the Arrhenius model. A test was carried out by increasing the internal temperature status at $30^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, and $65^{\circ}C$. By a linear transformation of the lifespan data for each temperature, a constant value and activation energy coefficient was induced for the Arrhenius equation and verified by comparing the value of a lifetime prediction model with the experimental value at $85^{\circ}C$. The failure modes of the ongoing or finished test were leakage, bellows separation, and internal deformation. In the future, a composite lifespan prediction model, including two more stress factors, will be developed.

This study was conducted to evaluate the applicability and efficiency of water supply using hydraulic ram pump. Study area is the Imgok-ri, Hwanam-myeon, Sanju-si, Kyeongsangbuk-do. There is an abandoned coal mine, where groundwater is discharged from its entrance with a flow rate of approximately $260m^3/day$. Hydraulic ram pump uses the waterhammer phenomenon and utilizes the power of falling water for pumping part of that water to a higher elevation than the water sources without electric power. To determine the efficiency of hydraulic ram pump, the flow rate was measured at three points according to the altitude difference (${\Delta}h=19m$ (point 1), 30 m (point 2), 40 m (point 3)). Flow rate measured at 1, 2, and 3 were about $8.6{\sim}10.8m^3/day$, $3.98{\sim}4.39m^3/day$, and $2.35{\sim}2.59m^3/day$, respectively. The current results suggested that, hydraulic ram pump could be applicable for the water supply system in mountain areas without external power supply.

Maintaining adequate residual chlorine concentration is an important criteria to provide secure drinking water. The chlorine decay can be influenced by unstable flow due to the transient event caused by operation of hydraulic devices in the pipeline system. In order to understand the relationship between the transient event and the chlorine decay, the probability density function based on the water demand curve of a hypothetical water distribution system was used. The irregular transient events and the same number of events with regular interval were assumed and the fate of chlorine decay was compared. The chlorine decay was modeled using a generic chlorine decay model with optimized parameters to minimize the root mean square error between the experimental chlorine concentration and the simulated chlorine concentration using genetic algorithm. As a result, the chlorine decay can be determined through the number of transients regardless of the occurrence intervals.

A total of 17 experimental data for the onset of slugging, which is assumed to be the precursor of the condensation-induced waterhammer (CIWH), have been obtained for various How rates of water Incorporating the most recent correlations of interfacial heat transfer and friction factor developed for a circular geometry and using an improved criterion of transition from stratified to a slug flow, two existing analytical models to predict lower and upper bounds for CIWH have been upgraded. Applicability of the present as well as existing CIWH models has been tested by comparison with two sets of CIWH data. The result of this comparison shows that the applicability of the present as well as existing models is reasonably good. Based on the present models for CIWH, a computer code entitled as“KAIST-CIWH”has been developed and sample guide charts to find CIWH free regions for a given combination of major flow parameters in a long horizontal pipe have been presented along with the results of parametric studies of major parameters (D, P, $T_{f,in}$, and L/D) on the critical inlet water flow rate（$W_{f,in}_crit$ for both lower and upper bounds. In addition, two simple formulas for lower and upper bounds that can be used in an emergency for quick results have been presented.

This study used HILS to test an expansion joint, which is vulnerable to the water hammer effect. The operation data for the HIL simulator was the length rate of the expansion joint by the water hammer, which was used for life prediction based on the vibration durability. For the vibration durability test, the internal pressure of the expansion joint was assumed to be a factor of the durability life, and the lifetime prediction model equation was obtained by curve fitting the lifetime data at each pressure. During the test, the major failure modes of crack and water leakage occurred on the surface of the bellows part. The lifetime prediction model typically follows an inverse power law model. The pressure is a stress factor, and the model is effective in only a specific environment. Therefore, another stress factor such as temperature will be added and considered for a mixed lifetime prediction model in the future.

An accurate analysis of pipeline transient is important for proper management and operation of a water distribution systems. The computational accuracy and its cost are two distinct components for unsteady flow analysis model, which can be strength and weakness of three-dimensional model and one-dimensional model, respectively. In this study, we used two-dimensional unsteady flow model with Five-Region Turbulence model (FRTM) with the implementation of interaction between liquid and air Since FRTM has an empirical component to be determined, we explored the response feature of two-dimensional flow model. The relationship between friction behaviour and the variation of undetermined parameter was configured through the comparison between numerical simulations and experimental results.
