Most of surface water ways in Egypt suffer from the infestation of aquatic weeds especially submerged ones which cause lots of problems for the open channels and the water structures such as increasing water losses, obstructing the water flow, and reducing the efficiency of the water structures. Accurate simulation of the water flow behavior in such channels is very essential for water distribution decision makers. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been widely utilized in the past ten years in civil engineering applications for the simulation and prediction of the different physical phenomena and has proven its capabilities in the different fields. The present study aims towards introducing the use of ANN technique to model and predict the impact of the existence of submerged aquatic weeds on the hydraulic performance of open channels. Specifically the current paper investigates utilizing the ANN technique in developing a simulation and prediction model for the flow behavior in an open channel experiment that simulates the existence of submerged weeds as branched flexible elements. This experiment was considered as an example for implementing the same methodology and technique in a real open channel system. The results of current manuscript showed that ANN technique was very successful in simulating the flow behavior of the pre-mentioned open channel experiment with the existence of the submerged weeds. In addition, the developed ANN models were capable of predicting the open channel flow behavior in all the submerged weeds' cases that were considered in the ANN development process.

As a result of the recent water resources crisis, development of water management automation system becomes important. This system should be developed with open architecture in order to flexibly meet the spacial and time change of irrigation water demand. Thereby, water management automation system requires open architecture and suitable software program. This study presents an application of object-oriented methodology for Open Water Management Program(OWMP). Accordingly, OWMP provides a high degree of reliability which allows modification of parameters by change of region or time to be possible. OWMP consists of Data Base Management System(DBMS) and Model System. DBMS makes it possible to analyze data related with planning water schedule and establishing database. Model System calculates reservoir inflow, reservoir effluent and basin water demand. An operator decides the reservoir operation with results of Model System and DBMS. OWMP could be adapted to the planning and decision for saving water.

In recent years, propellers with various blade configurations such as highly skewed propellers are often fitted to ships from the viewpoint of reduction of vibration and noise. In the design of such propellers, design charts based on methodical series tests are to be complemented by theoretical calculations for accurate estimation of propeller open-water characteristics. The author intended to develop a method to estimate propeller open-water characteristics based on Quasi -Vortex - Lattice Method originally developed by Lan for solving planar thin wings, The Quasi - Vortex - Lattice Method has the simplicity and flexibility of Vortex - Lattice Method. Its accuracy is comparable to that of the Vortex - Lattice Method. Converged solution can be obtained with a small number of control points and further, leading edge suction force can be calculated directly. In the present paper, a numerical method to estimate propeller open-water characteristics based on the Quasi - Vortex - Lattice Method is reviewed and its application to marine propellers is described in detail. Comparison of propeller open-water characteristics obtained by the present method with experimental data showed good agreement for a wide variety of propellers including highly skewed propellers.

The field scale experiment which is constructed with four sets (0.88 ha for each set) of wetland (0.8 ha) and pond (0.08 ha) systems was performed to examine the effect of plant coverage on the constructed wetland performance and to recommend the optimum development and management of macrophyte communities. After six growing seasons of wetlands, plant coverage was about 100%. And the concentration of DO showed low value (1.0~5.4 mg/L). This is caused by a blighted plant consumed dissolved oxygen with decay in water column. As the result, water column went to be anaerobic conditions and T-N removal rate are 58~67%. Dead vegetation increased nitrogen removal during winter because it is a source of organic carbon which is an essential parameter in denitrification. However, wetland released phosphorus caused by a blighted plant and accumulation, the removal rate of phosphorus might be decreased. To rise of DO concentration, the three open-waters were constructed in cell 3 and 4. Cell 3 has two open-waters (width 10 m, depth 1.8 m) and cell 4 has one open-water (width 20 m, depth 1.8 m). As the result, DO concentration and treatment efficiency of nutrient and BOD were improved. In case that constructed wetland is operated for a long time, physical circulation structure such as open water help continuous circulation of aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Through the constructed open-water, treatment efficiency of phosphorus and nitrogen in wetland could be improved effectively.

본 연구는 국내 최대의 수질정화용 인공습지인 시화호 인공습지의 개방수역(open water)에서 식물플랑크톤에 의한 광합성특성 및 유기물생산력을 조사 평가하여 효율적인 습지관리를 위해 open water관리방안의 기초자료를 제공하기 위함이다. 식물플랑크톤의 광합성특성 및 1차 생산력은 유입수의 수질특성과 체류시간이 다른 반월천습지와 동화천습지의 open water에서 조사되었다. 조사기간 동안 시화호 인공습지내 5개 open water에서 식물플랑크톤에 의한 1차 생산력은 $481{\sim}11,275mgC\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$의 범위로 연중 부영양화 수준을 보였고 계절과 지점에 따라 변동이 컸다. 시화호 인공습지에서 식물플랑크톤의 P-I curve 모델계수를 통한 광합성특성은 두 습지로 유입되는 유입수의 상반되는 수질특성(인과 질소 농도)에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 최대광합성속도 (Pmax)는 $42{\times}1,014 mgC\;m^{-3}\;hr^{-1}$로 chi. ${\alpha}$ 농도와 양의 상관(R=0.47)을 보였다. 식물플랑크톤의 광합성효율을 나타내는 동화계수(AN)두 습지 모두 고습지와 저습지의 AN값의 차이를 보이지 않았지만 동화천습지의 AN값이 평균 8.5gC $gChl^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$로 반월천습지의 평균 5.8gC $gChl^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$보다 높은 값을 보여 인 농도가 높은 동화천습지에서 식물플랑크톤의 광합성효율이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 두 하천의 수질특성으로부터 식물플랑크톤의 광합성효율은 질소보다 인 농도 그리고 작은 TN/TP와 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다. 낮은 광도에 대한 광합성능력을 나타내는 초기기울기와 동화계수 사이에는 높은 양의 상관(R=0.81)을 보인 것으로 보아, 낮은 광조건에서 광합성능력이 큰 식물플랑크톤이 광합성효율도 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 시화호 인공습지의 open water에서 식물플랑크톤에 의한 유기물생산이 매우 높은 것으로 보아 식물플랑크톤이 습지의 수질 및 수처리효율에 영향을 미칠 것을 판단된다. 습지의 수처리효율을 향상시키기 위해서는 체류시간을 짧게 해주거나 open water의 면적을 줄여 식물플랑크톤의 증식을 억제하거나 또는 증식한 식물플랑크톤이 습지외부로 유출되지 않도록 하는 관리방안이 필요할 것으로 본다.

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.
