This study is aimed to analyze the hydrodynamic characteristics of the cage net in the circulating water channel. It visualized wake flows using a PIV (paricle imaging velocimetry) and analyzed the flow velocity distribution. In addition, the vorticity and turbulence intensity were analyzed from the wake flow distribution and compared changes by flow velocity. Results showed that the average turbulence intensity in the circulating water channel was very stable showing less than 1% in the range between 0.2 and 0.8 m/s. The drag coefficient affecting to the netting was estimated to be 1.35. The flow decreasing rate of the wake in the middle of the netting was 2.1% at the range of 0.2 m/s and it was constant at 6.6―6.9% over the range of 0.4 m/s irrespective of velocity increases. Finally, the change of turbulence intensity by netting and knot mesh could be confirmed. These results can be utilized as a basic information for the future research of flow characteristics by fishing nets and meshes.

As a fish way is a structure for fish migrating well toward upper stream due to breaking river flow by a dam or dammed pool, the specific fish's swimming ability is one of the main factors in making a plan and managing it. In addition, it also needs to understand the current field in fish road to evaluate its performance. This study is aimed to analyze the swimming patterns with current velocity changes using a Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) in order to understand the swimming ability of silver fish (Plecoglossus altivelis) that is one of the fishes migrating through the fish way of Nakdong River, and to analyze the 2 dimensional current field near to silver fish at swimming momentum. The results showed that average values of tail beat frequencies for continuous swimming with current velocity were 2.8 Hz at 0.3 m/s, 3.2 Hz at 0.4 m/s, 3.8 Hz at 0.5 m/s, respectively. The wake would be produced by direction turning of fish's tail fin and its magnitude would be verified by the difference of pressure. The pressure turbulent flow produced by its tail beat would be made in both sides, and then, the magnitude of wake should be the source of moving direction. The swimming momentum will help to support the primary factor in making a suitable design for specific fish species migrating toward the district river.

Bubble boom may be a good alternative for the prevention of oil spill pollution due to its easy deployment and clean post-process tasks. The present work is focused on the experimental investigation of air bubble movement for the bubble boom by visualization and quantitative PIV measurements. Bubble plume was generated by adjusting the pressure of pressure vessel ranging 6.7 kpa to 14.7 kpa. The results showed at lower inlet velocity and higher supply air flow rate that bubble boom maintained its containing capability reasonably well up to the maximum containing limit.

표면영상유속계는 PIV의 상호상관법을 이용한 유속 산정 원리를 기초로 하여 Fujita and Komura(1994)와 Aya et al(1995)이 수리모형실험이나 일반 하천에서의 유속측정에 적용 할 수 있도록 응용한 것이다. 표면영상유속계가 간편하고 효율적인 유속측정 방법임에도 불구하고 아직까지 표면영상유속계의 상호상관법에 대한 표준적인 방법과 성능 및 측정 불확도가 정립되어 있지 않아 표면영상유속계를 일반인들이 이용하기 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 표면영상유속계의 상관영역 크기 변화에 따른 오차 분석을 위해 인공영상을 이용한 오차 분석 방법을 제시하였으며 영상내 입자수와 입자크기를 변화시킨 영상들을 제작한 후 상관영역의 크기를 다양하게 변화시키면서 영상 분석을 수행하였고 유속 산정값의 오차를 분석하였다. 또한 각 상관영역내 명암값 분포를 이용하여 최소 상관영역 크기 결정 기준을 제시하고자 한다. 분석 결과 영상내 입자밀도 평균이 0.5 이상일 경우에는 입자 크기 보다 상관영역의 크기를 크게 결정한다면 오차를 크게 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 입자수 밀도 평균이 0.5 보다 작은 경우는 가능한 상관영역의 크기를 크게 하여 상관계수가 1에 가깝도록 결정하면 오차를 줄일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
