Quest for reliability of hydraulic runners is a concern for all mature electricity producers. The fatigue damage caused by dynamics loads is frequently the root cause of runner failure. This paper presents the damage tolerance approach based on fracture mechanics as the method chosen by Alstom and Hydro-Qu$\acute{e}$bec to predict effects of damage on runner lifetime and consequently to be use as a design method. This is sustained by a research on fracture mechanics properties of runner materials and by recommendations on the strategy to define a safety margin for design. The acquired knowledge permits to identify potential improvement of the runner lifetime without significant cost increase, like being more specific on some chemical composition or heat treatment.

A numerical study to investigate the effect of intake vortex occurrence on the performance of an axial hydraulic turbine for generating tidal power energy in Sihwa-lake tidal power plant, Korea, is performed. Numerical analysis of the flow through an sxial hydraulic turbine is carried out by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes dquations with the shear stress transport turbulence model. In the real turbine operation, the vortex flows are occurred in both the side corners around the intake of an axial hydraulic turbine due to the interaction between the inflow angle of water and intake structure. To analyze these vortex phenomena and to evaluate their impacts on the turbine performance, the internal flow fields of the axial hydraulic turbines with the different inflow angles are compared with their performances. As the results of numerical analysis, the vortex flows do not directly affect the turbine performance.

The interfacial area transport equation dynamically models the changes in interfacial structures along the flow field by mechanistically modeling the creation and destruction of dispersed phase. Hence, when employed in the numerical thermal-hydraulic system analysis codes, it eliminates artificial bifurcations stemming from the use of the static flow regime transition criteria. Accounting for the substantial differences in the transport mechanism for various sizes of bubbles, the transport equation is formulated for two characteristic groups of bubbles. The group 1 equation describes the transport of small-dispersed bubbles, whereas the group 2 equation describes the transport of large cap, slug or chum-turbulent bubbles. To evaluate the feasibility and reliability of interfacial area transport equation available at present, it is benchmarked by an extensive database established in various two-phase flow configurations spanning from bubbly to chum-turbulent flow regimes. The geometrical effect in interfacial area transport is examined by the data acquired in vertical fir-water two-phase flow through round pipes of various sizes and a confined flow duct, and by those acquired In vertical co-current downward air-water two-phase flow through round pipes of two different sizes.

유사발생 잠재성 및 토양침식으로 인한 유사발생 위험성이 높은 것으로 평가된 내성천유역을 대상으로 강우-유출-토양침식-유사이송으로 이어지는 유역단위의 분포형 모형을 구축하였으며 유출과 유사농도 모의 결과에 주요한 영향을 미치는 조도계수 및 투수계수의 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 모의결과, 내성천유역의 토지 피복이 숲인 지역의 조도계수를 0.4에서 0.45로 변경하여 지표수 유출 유속을 감소시킴으로써 향석 지점에서의 유출곡선에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으나 유출수문곡선의 변화에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으며 평균 유사농도 값과 유사농도의 범위에 있어서도 모의 결과가 근소하게 증가하나 유의한 변화는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 투수계수에 대한 민감도 분석 결과, 투수계수 값을 저감 시킬수록 총 유출량 및 첨두 유출량은 점차 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 유사농도 모의의 경우에도 투수계수를 저감시킬수록 모든 지점에서 평균 유사농도 및 유량에 따른 유사농도 범위가 증가하였으며, 향석 지점의 경우 투수계수를 50% 저감하였을 때 유사 농도 모의 값이 유량-유사량 관계식에 의해 계산된 값과 가장 근사한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 침식성 파랑의 내습조건에 대해 인공리프의 길이(Lr), 개구폭(W), 개구부 수의 변화가 인공리프 주변 지형에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 하였다. 구조물 주변에서의 표사이동 양상은 이동상실험을 통하여 검토하였으며 인공리프의 설치조건과 발생 유속 및 파랑변형, 지형변동과의 관계에 대해 고찰하였다. 실험결과 인공리프의 설치로 인하여 배후 침식량은 감소하였으나 개구부내에서의 세굴은 복수의 개구부를 갖는 구조에 비하여 단일 개구부를 갖는 조건에서 증가되었으며, Lr/W의 변화와 깊은 연관성을 보이는 것으로 확인되었다.

Colloid Formation and Migration (CFM) project is being carried out within the Grimsel Test Site (GTS) Phase Ⅵ. Since 2008, the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has joined CFM to investigate the behavior of colloid-facilitated radionuclide transport in a generic Underground Research Laboratory (URL). The CFM project includes a long-term in-situ test (LIT) and an in-rock bentonite erosion test (i-BET) to assess the in-situ colloid-facilitated radionuclide transport through the bentonite erosion in the natural flow field. In the LIT experiment, radionuclide-containing compacted bentonite was equipped with a triple-packer system and then positioned at the borehole in the shear zone. It was observed that colloid transport was limited owing to the low swelling pressure and low hydraulic conductivity. Therefore, a postmortem analysis is being conducted to estimate the partial migration and diffusion of radionuclides. The i-BET experiment, that focuses more on bentonite erosion, was newly designed to assess colloid formation in another flow field. The i-BET experiment started with the placement of compacted bentonite rings in the double-packer system, and the hydraulic parameters and bentonite erosion have been monitored since December 2018.

심층토 내에서의 흐름과 이동과정을 포함하는 연구와 관리 측면에서 수학모델에 대한 관심도가 점점 증가하고 있다. 로제타는 토성이나 용적밀도 자료와 같은 대체 토양자료로부터 불포화수리특성에 대한 자료를 추정하는 프로그램이다. 이와 같은 형태의 모델은 애초 기본 토양자료를 수리특성자료로 전환하기 시작한 이래 대체 측정수단으로서 PTF라 불리워졌다. 이러한 기능은 유사-실험모델을 사용하여 예측한 자료를 근간으로 하여 직간접적으로 토양수분을 추정할 수 있다.

Two numerical models of the shoreline change and sediment transport rates, explicit and implicit, are simulated with shore structures such as breakwaters, a jetty, groins and a seawall. The applied study area is songdo Beach, Youngil bay, Korea since it has all the shore structures mentinoed above. The two models investigate the beach line changes and sedimen transport rates for the beach before design of three groins with and without an offshore breakwater. In order to estimate the shoreline changes after three groins were built, the beach response inside the three groin compartiments and the offshore barrier are also investigated. The simulation based on the initial shoreline conditions surveyed by the Hydrographic office, Koreai 1979 and 1984. The breaking wave characteristics are introduced into the models by calculation from the empirical equations and modification from the numerical and hydraulic model test results developed for waves behind an offshore breakwater. The numerical simulation describes well the tendencies of the sand transport and shoreline changes affected by wave diffraction behind a detached breakwater and by interruption of sand transport at three groins.

This research conducted concerning measures for the influence reduction to an investigation in the structure of offshore breakwater maintenance, an evaluation, a reexamination of the forecast, and a peripheral sediment transport environment. Furthermore, it aimed at the establishment of the beach transformation forecast method based on a hydraulic model study and a numeric simulation. A good result was obtained from a hydraulic model experiment and a numeric simulation as part of the basic research. And a qualitative evaluation of the flow field around the structure became possible since a numeric simulation examined flow field characteristics.
