The characteristics of mean velocity and turbulence have been analyzed in the circular open channel flow using PIV measurement data for a wide range of water depth. The measured data are fitted to a velocity distribution function over the whole depth of the open channel. Reynolds shear stress and mean velocity in wall unit are compared with the analytic models for fully-developed turbulent boundary layer. Both the mean velocity and Reynolds shear stress have different distributions from the two-dimensional boundary layer flow when the water depth increases over 50% since the influence of the side wall penetrates more deeply into the free surface. The cross-stream Reynolds normal stress also has considerably different distribution in view of its peak value and decreasing rate in the outer region whether the water depth is higher than 50% or not.

The powered missiles with very high thrust level can make highly underexpanded jet plume downstream of tile exhaust nozzle exit so that strong interactions between the exhaust plume and a free stream occur around the body at transonic or supersonic speeds. The interactions result in extremely complicated flow phenomena, which consist of plume-induced boundary layer separation, strong shear layers, various shock waves, and interactions among these. The flow characteristics are inherent nonlinear and severe unstable during the flight at its normal speed as well as taking-off and landing. Eventually, the induced boundary layer separation and pitching and yawing moments by the interactions cause undesirable effects ell the static stability and control of a missile.

Ventilation of the marine engine room is very important for the health of the workers as well as the normal operation of machines. To find proper ventilation conditions of this engine room numerical simulation with a standard k-$\varepsilon$model was carried out. In the present study the marine engine room is considered as a closed space with a heat source and forced ventilation ducts. The injection angle of air supply is found to be important. Injection with a downward angle depresses recirculation flow causing a strong stream in the wider space of the room Ventilation and removal of the released heat are promoted with this pattern, There is a possibility of local extreme heating at the upper surface of the engine when supply and exhaust ports of air are in bilateral symmetry.

In this study, the breakup characteristics of mono disperse droplets were studied with various fuels, ethanol, diesel fuel, biodiesel fuel extracted from soybean oil, and pure water. In order to investigate the droplet behavior in air cross-flow conditions, the experimental equipment was composed of a droplet generator with an air nozzle, and a high-magnification photo detecting system. Droplets produced by the droplet generator were injected into the air stream flowing normal to a direction of liquid drop jet. Digital images of the droplet behavior in air flow field were recorded by controlling the air flow rate. From the inspections, droplet breakup mechanism is primarily classified into the two kinds of stage, first breakup stage and second breakup stage. At the first breakup stage, droplet deformation rate seems to be affected by the force induced by the surface tension and the viscosity. On the other hand, at the second breakup stage, droplet is broken up mainly induced by the surface tension, so the breakup transition can be divided by the regular Weber number.

Some selected hydraulic characteristics including the average velocitv, geometry of the channel cross-section, and water temperature, and sediment-characteristics including suspended sediment concentration , and the size distributions of suspended and bed-sediments were collected at two measuring stations in the Cheongmi-Stream during a flood period. The river bed investigated for this study is composed completely of sands, and it can be considered a typical alluvial channel. The major results obtained from the analysis of the date collected are as follows: 1) Only during floods, a substantial sediment transport occurs in the river; 2) The stage-discharge relations are changed frequently, especially for low flows; 3) The friction in the flow increases with an increase in the flow discharge; 4) Slits and clays are dominant in suspended sediments during normal flows, while sands are dominant during floods; 5) The vertical distributions of the flow velocity and suspended sediment concentration can be described, respectively, by Prandt1-von Karman's log-law and Rouse's exponential law. It is judged that the above results are commonly adapted for other alluvial rivers, although they were obtained from a limited number of data collected from a specific river reach.

The target site, Goejeongcheon flows through downtown of Saha-gu, Busan and it connects to the Nakdong-gang estuary. But non-point pollutants and sewage sludge are partially flowing into the stream and deposited. As a result, dissolved oxygen concentrations of the stream were observed close to the anaerobic condition. Multistage Vortex Aerator was applied for restoring this urban stream. It dissolves oxygen by repeatedly causing collisions between water and oxygen by vortex flow. The changes in water quality and odor were monitored for 2 months while circulating 1 m³/min of water with 22 ppm dissolved oxygen. As a result of the operation, the dissolved oxygen was improved from slightly Bad (4)~Bad (5) to Good (1b)~Normal (3) grade, and the total phosphorus concentration was decreased by 76 % on average. In the case of complex odor, a maximum reduction of 84.5 % was observed on the day the entire river was anaerobic. Through this study, we evaluated the feasibility of applying pure oxygen and Vortex Aerator for the the stream restoration. It is expected that the results of this study can be used for full-scale design.

The Han River serves as an important water resource for the city of Seoul, Korea and in the neighboring metropolitan areas. From the Paldang dam to the Jamsil submerged weir, the 4 water intake stations that are located for the Seoul metropolitan population were under review in this study. Therefore the water quality management in this section is very important to monitor, analyze and review to rule out any safety concerns. In this study, a 3-D hydrodynamic model, EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code), was applied to the downstream of the Paldang Dam in the Han River, which is about 23 km in length, to determine issues related to water resource management. The 3-D grid was composed of 2,168 horizontal grids and three vertical layers. In this case, the hydrodynamic model was calibrated and verified with an observed average daily water surface elevation, water temperature and flow rate data for 3 years (2013~2015). The developed EFDC model proved to reproduce the hydrodynamics of the Han River well. The composition ratios of the noted incoming flows at the monitored intake stations for 3 years and their flow patterns in the river were analyzed using the validated model. It was found that the flow of the Wangsuk Stream depended on the Paldnag dam discharge, and it was noted that the composition ratios of the stream at the intake stations changed accordingly. In a word, the Wangsuk Stream moved mainly along the right bank of the Han River under the condition of a normal dam flow. As can be seen, when the dam discharge rate was low, the incidence of lateral mixing was often seen. The scenario analyses were also conducted to predict the transport of conservative pollutants as in the case of a chemical spill accident. Generally speaking, when scenarios were applied, the arrival time and concentration of pollutants at each intake station was thus predicted.

In this study the evaluation method for riverine naturalness proposed previously by other researcher has been modified to assess stream naturalness of small scaled streams. Two evaluation items have been added to the previously proposed method. That is, the modified method for evaluating naturalness of small scaled streams contains 16 evaluation items with two categories - river morphology and river environments. The three evaluation items have been improved based on the results of stream configuration and characteristics investigation. To prepare evaluation index for channel configuration of small scaled stream, 55 small scaled streams have been selected to analyze sinuosity, wavelength, etc. It has been shown that the values of sinuosity are around 1.2 and one wavelength appears approximately every 500 m in the sample streams. An equation implied diversity for width of normal flow has been proposed to add the evaluation index for diversity of channel width. The every 500 m 1,000 m along small scaled stream is also recommended through the investigation as the interval of evaluation unit. The modified method has been applied to the DangWang stream to estimate the effect of stream rectification project. It has shown that the proposed method would appropriately reflect channel morphology and environments before and after the rectification project.

The increase of the impermeable area due to industrialization and urban development distorts the hydrological circulation system and cause serious stream drying phenomena. In order to manage this, it is necessary to develop a technology for impact assessment of stream drying phenomena, which enables quantitative evaluation and prediction. In this study, the cause of streamflow reduction was assessed for dam and weir watersheds in the five major river basins of South Korea by using distributed hydrological model DrySAT-WFT (Drying Stream Assessment Tool and Water Flow Tracking) and GIS time series data. For the modeling, the 5 influencing factors of stream drying phenomena (soil erosion, forest growth, road-river disconnection, groundwater use, urban development) were selected and prepared as GIS-based time series spatial data from 1976 to 2015. The DrySAT-WFT was calibrated and validated from 2005 to 2015 at 8 multipurpose dam watershed (Chungju, Soyang, Andong, Imha, Hapcheon, Seomjin river, Juam, and Yongdam) and 4 gauging stations (Osucheon, Mihocheon, Maruek, and Chogang) respectively. The calibration results showed that the coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.76 in average (0.66 to 0.84) and the Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency was 0.62 in average (0.52 to 0.72). Based on the 2010s (2006~2015) weather condition for the whole period, the streamflow impact was estimated by applying GIS data for each decade (1980s: 1976~1985, 1990s: 1986~1995, 2000s: 1996~2005, 2010s: 2006~2015). The results showed that the 2010s averaged-wet streamflow (Q95) showed decrease of 4.1~6.3%, the 2010s averaged-normal streamflow (Q185) showed decreased of 6.7~9.1% and the 2010s averaged-drought streamflow (Q355) showed decrease of 8.4~10.4% compared to 1980s streamflows respectively on the whole. During 1975~2015, the increase of groundwater use covered 40.5% contribution and the next was forest growth with 29.0% contribution among the 5 influencing factors.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the flow field around the wing having a circular damage hole. The damage was represented by a circular hole passing through the model with 10% airfoil chord diameter and normal to the chord. The hole was centered at quarter or half chord. The PIV flow fields and static pressure measurements on the wing upper and lower surface were carried out at Rec=2.85×105 based on the chord length. The PIV results showed the two types of flow structures around a damage hole were formed. The first one was a weak jet that formed an attached wake behind the damage hole. The second one resulted from increased incidence; this was a strong jet where the flow through the hole penetrates into the free-stream resulting in extensive separation of oncoming boundary layer flow and development of a separated wake with reverse flow. The surface pressure data showed a big pressure alteration near the circular damage hole. The severity of pressure alteration was increased as a damage hole located nearer to the leading edge.
