  • Watershed delineation is the process of tracing surface water flow across a landscape to identify hydrologic basins. Manual and automated techniques have been developed to trace surface waters and locate watersheds on a variety of landscape. Low topographic relief landscapes, however, are particulary problematic for automated watershed delineation techniques. Therefore, this study aims at focusing the watershed delineation algorithm of low topographic relief landscape. By using topogrid, which manages enforcement drainage algorithms and incorporates topographic data into stream data, this study delineates watershed boundary in low relief landscape. Based on this research, in a low topographic relief landscape, enforcement drainage algorithms using topogrid generate better source grid to delineate watershed boundary than using only TIN. Also, comparing automated watershed delineation which incorporates contours and elevations into stream data with manual watershed delineation, we can know that the incorporation of both elevation and stream data generate more effective results.

  • The flow field structures of dual jet-in-cross-flow were examined experimentally for in-lined perforated damage holes configuration using particle image velocimetry. Ensemble averaged in-plane velocity and vorticity data in the jet were determined to study the mean jet structure. Jets are formed by pressure differences between upper and lower airfoil surface. The flow structure of vicinity of the thru holes consist of a vortical structure that wrap around the jets like a horseshoe and develop further downstream through a pair of stream-wise vortices. The shape, size and location of the horseshoe vortex were found to be dependent on the angle of attack. In spite of the existence of battle damage holes, the effect on the control force was insignificant when the damage size was not large enough.

  • The movement of fish to the upper and the lower parts of a mountain stream was investigated based on the installation of specific types of structures within the stream. The results indicated that as the flow rate increases after a rain, the height of the drop in an open-type structure, such as a concrete box, is decreased so that the floating fishes, such as the Chinese minnow fish, move relatively easily from the upper to the lower parts and from the lower to the upper parts of the stream. In contrast, the fishes released from an upper point of a wall-type structure with <1 m, such as rocks drop works and stone masonry for stream-grade stabilization, were trapped in the lower part of the stream and, even after the rainy season, it was difficult for the fish to move from the lower to the upper parts of the stream. In particular, the barrier-type structures ${\geq}3m$ limit the movement of fish, even when there are few drainage holes at the lower end of the dam, and there is no space for the fishes to communicate with each other, even when the flow rate is high; therefore, although the fish are active, they are restricted to move according to the type and characteristics of the structures. When installing structures in a mountain stream, the height of the structure must be low enough to allow the fish to communicate with each other or an open-type structure must be installed. The fish habitat and water conditions within the stream must be considered when designing the type and height of the in-stream structures.

  • In the present study, hydrologic data and topographical data from 2010 to 2019 were collected from three gauging stations placed in the watershed of Naeseong stream to determine changes and rates of changes in rainfall, water level & mean velocity, and water level & discharge, together with changes in rates of erosion and deposition at cross-sections of the river. Besides, effects of regulated and non-regulated rivers according to the presence of artificial regulation of flow rate of the river via artificial structure located at Seo stream (Yeongju si (Wolhogyo) station), the tributary free from construction of dams, were compared and analyzed. Results of analyses conducted in the present study revealed vegetational establishment and landforming due to increasing area of vegetational sandbar evolved in the flood plain (intermediate- or high- water level) by the drought sustained from 2013 to 2015. Continuous erosion of river bed was appeared because of narrowed flow area with low water level and increased velocity and tractive force on river bed.

  • This study analyzed and assessed the water quality of a small urban stream in the apartment complex of Yewol-Dong, Buchun-Si at Korea. The flows in the stream due to the interceptions of sewage and normal flow are usually low and the water quality and offensive odor problems by inflows of the sewage and other pollutants are occurred in the study area. Therefore we intended to monitor and identify the water quality conditions. Based on this, we simulated water quality using QUAL2E model and investigated water quality characteristics for the future. As the results, we found that the water quality depended on the inflows of point and non-point sources and so it is important to maintain instream flow for improvement of water quality problem and to intercept point and non-point sources in this study area.

  • It has been long suspected that the transition region may give rise to local pressure fluctuations and radiated sound that are different from those created by the fully-developed turbulent boundary layer at equivalent Reynolds number. Experimental investigation described in this paper concerns the characteristics of pressure fluctuations at the transition. Flush-mounted microphones and hot wires are used to measure the pressure fluctuations and local flow velocities within the boundary layer in the low noise wind tunnel. From this experiment we could observe the spatial and temporal development process of T-S wave using Wigner-Ville method and find the relations between the characteristic frequency of T-S wave and free stream velocity and the boundary layer thickness based on nondimensional pressure spectra scaled on outer variables.

  • In this paper, dynamic modeling and its analysis for the PIG flow through $90^{\circ}$ curved pipe with compressible and unsteady flow are studied. The PIG dynamics model is derived by using Lagrange equation under assumption that it passes through 3 different sections in the curved pipeline such that it moves into, inside and out of the curved section. The downstream and up stream flow dynamics including the curved sections are solved using MOC. The effectiveness of the derived mathematical models is estimated by simulation results for a low pressure natural gas pipeline including downward and upward curved sections. The simulation results show that the proposed model and solution can be used for estimating the PIG dynamics when we pig the pipeline including curved section.

  • In this paper, the peristaltic flow of Psedoplastic fluid with variable viscosity in an asymmetric channel is examined. The bionic effects by means of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are taken into account. The assumptions of long wave length and low Reynolds number are taken into account. The basic equations governing the flow are first reduced to a set of ordinary differential equation by using appropriate transformation for variables and then solve by using perturbation method. The effect of physical parameters on the pressure rise, velocity and pressure gradient are illustrated graphically. The trapping phenomenon is analyzed through stream lines. A suitable comparison has also been made as a limiting case of the considered problem.

  • An experimental method, based upon wall visualizations, has been developed to observe air flow near a plane wall around a row of five $45^{\circ}$ inclined jets discharging into a cross stream. This study concerns the variation of injection rate R which is one of the most important parameters governing this flow type. The Results are concentrated on the spatial evolution of two lobes with R. These structures are fastened to jets downstream edge and exist for very low injection rate values which are an indication of jets takeoff at the immediate downstream of injection orifices. The velocity rate of 0.42 marks a change in the structure alimentation system.

  • In the present investigation, we have studied the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) heat transfer of peristaltic flow in a tube. The analysis is made without imposing any assumption to obtain the streamline and isothermal line directly. Galerkin's finite element method has been used on the governing Navier-Stoke's equation in the form of ${\psi}-{\omega}$. The graphs of the computed longitudinal velocity, temperature and pressure are plotted against different value of the emerging parameter by using the stream function and vorticity. The results are valid beyond the long wavelength and the low Reynolds number limits. We conclude that higher values of the parameters are not independent of the time mean flow rate.
