Reduction Rate of the Total Runoff Volume though Installing a Rainfall Storage Tank in the Sub-Surface

본 연구에서는 지하 빗물저류시설 설치에 따른 유출저감 효과를 분석하기 위하여 실험실내 모형 빗물저류장치를 설치하여 강우강도 변화, 표층의 피복상태 변화, 표면경사 변화에 따른 유출량 변화 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 대상하천인 승기천의 토양조건하에서 강우강도가 40mm/hr-100mm/hr일 때 총유출량 감소는 42.3-52.9%로 나타났으며, 지하 빗물저류시설을 설치하는 경우 총유출량과 첨두유량의 감소를 가져올 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 경사변화에 따른 총유출량의 변화는 완만한 경사에서는 매우 크게 나타났으나 3%이상의 급경사에서 침투에 의한 저류량에 변화가 적고, 이는 산지와 같은 급경사지역에 빗물저류시설을 설치하는 경우 장기간의 홍수에 대하여 상당한 효과를 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 시스템은 하천이나 산지의 급경사에도 큰 결과를 기대할 수 있다. 【In this paper, the experiments with installing a rainfall storage tank in the sub-surface were conducted and the reduction rates of the total runoff volume were investigated. The analysis were conducted based upon the variations of the rainfall intensity, surface coverage and surface slope. The reduction rate of the runoff volume was varied from 42.3% to 52.9% with the soil in the bank of the Seung Gi stream. In the experiments, the rainfall intensities were varied from 40mm/hr to 100mm/hr and the results indicate that the direct runoff reduction can be obtained with the installation of the rainfall storage tank in the sub-surface. The variation of the stored volume in the tank is very large in the mild slope but very small in the steep slope with over 3% slope. With this results, the reduction of the direct runoff volume for the longtime flood is expected with the installation of the rainfall storage tank in the region haying the steep slope such as the mountain area.】

The Analysis of Hydraulic Characteristics at Channel Junctions through Hydraulic Model Tests

In this study, the hydraulic characteristics at junction are studied through the variation of approaching angle, discharge in the upstream channel and the discharge ratio between the main channel and the tributary. The maximum velocity as well as the position of the maximum velocity is included in the hydraulic characteristics. The maximum velocity is increased by increasing of approaching angle, discharge in the upstream channel and the discharge ratio between the main channel and the tributary. The length from the channel junction to the point of maximum velocity is increasing by increasing of approaching angle, discharge in the upstream channel and the discharge ratio between the main channel and the tributary.ࠀȀ耀Ѐ

Hydraulic Analysis of Air Entrainment by Weir Types

This paper presents the hydraulic analysis of the air entrainment by the weir types. For the weir types, the stepped weir, the labyrinth weir and the gate underflow weir were selected, and the oxygen transfer efficiency was estimated by the site investigation and the hydraulic model tests. The most effective type for the oxygen transfer was stepped weir The more steps the stepped weir had, the higher efficiency it revealed. Oxygen transfer was proportional to the flow velocity, the Froude number, and the flow discharge in order. Hydraulic model tests showed that a nappe flow occurred at small flow rates. The concurrent condition of a nappe flow and a skimming flow occurred as flow rate increases, nappe flow at the upper part and skimming flow at the lower part. In the region of nappe flow, air inception occurred from the step edges due to flow separation, and air entrainment was made through a free-falling nappe, an air pocket, a nappe impact and a subsequent hydraulic jump. In the region of skimming flow, air entrainment occurred by the variation of water surface over the steps, but it was relatively small compared with nappe flow.

The Change of Flow depending upon the Discharge and Approaching Angle at Channel Junctions

In this paper, the hydraulic model tests are conducted for the hydraulic characteristics at channel junctions. The experiments are examined through the variation of approaching angle, discharge in the upstream main channel and the discharge ratio between the main channel and the tributary. The experiments are conducted in the channel model having the length of 450cm, the widths of 40cm and 32cm. Four water tanks and pumps are installed in the experimental channel. The length of stagnation zone is increased by Increasing of approaching angle and the discharge in the upstream channel. The length of stagnation increase with the discharge ratio between the main channel and the tributary. However, the variation of the stagnation zone near the channel junctions is little at the same approaching angles and the discharge ratioes between the main channel and tributary. However, the variation of the stagnation zone near the channel junctions is little at the same approaching angles and the discharge ratioes between the main channel and tributary. Accelerating zone of the velocity is occurred in the middle of the channel in the small approaching angle. However, the influence zone of the accelerating velocity is increased by increasing the approaching angle.

Estimation of Water Purification Ability with Applying Porous Concrete to Weir and Riverbed Materials

This study was performed to improve water quality of stream by applying hydraulic structures (weir and river bed material) made of porous concrete. The physical and chemical characteristics of porous concrete were measured to estimate application possibility of it in hydraulic structures and it was considered as a proper material for the hydraulic structures. In the results of comparison for the component of matters attached on the hydraulic structures made of porous and ordinary concrete, DW (dry weight) amount attached on porous concrete was 1.6 times higher than that on ordinary concrete under the condition of the same flow rate but influence by flow rate (difference of 10 times) was not shown. Therefore, we could understand that the material of media was more important in DW amount than flow rate. The rate of AFDM (ash free dry mass) to DW also was more at porous concrete than at ordinary concrete. Especially, the high rates of nitrogen and phosphorous in matters attached on porous concrete verify that they were removed by assimilation, adsorption and metabolism of periphyton. The removal percentage of SS, BOD, COD, T-N and T-P by hydraulic structures applying porous concrete compared with ordinary concrete was increased by 34.6%, 36.9%, 33.9%, 18.3% and 21.6%, respectively. Therefore, applying porous concrete to hydraulic structure is expected to contribute to improvement of stream water quality.
