In this study, the numerical analysis of propellant supply manifold of a sub-scale model combustor with the same combustion and acoustic resonance conditions as the real combustor was carried out. The analysis of the results is based on the shape of the manifold and the number and type of inflow channels. The manifold form of the main propellant was rounded so that the recirculation area was small and easy to manufacture. The liquid oxygen mainfold included a distributor to uniformly supply the flow, and since the kerosene manifold was directly in contact with the flame side, the inflow channel was formed at a radial $360^{\circ}$ so as to minimize the recirculation region. The liquid nitrogen manifold was configured as a radial inflow channel to reduce the velocity difference near the injector.

In order to demonstrate the flow properties of the river bed and the design of hydraulic structures, the estimation of friction velocity is essentially required. However, existing friction velocity equations such as Log method and Power law have trouble to estimate the friction velocity because a boundary condition and various hydraulic properties are changed constantly in near the wall. In the present study, therefore, a new friction velocity equation that can minimize the parameters and reduce an error was suggested. To verify accuracy and reliability for the proposed equation, Clauser method, $\sqrt{gRI}$ method, reynolds stress method by Dr. Song were compared with the proposed method by estimated entropy parameter M for each channel. Consequently, the results show that uniform flow condition as well as non-uniform flow condition with highly accuracy nearly matched in case of accelerating non-uniform condition of $R^2=0.9621$, Decelerating Non Uniform condition of $R^2=0.9274$, Uniform condition of $R^2=0.8865$.

The main subject to become a hub port is automation. The automated container terminal has already operated in advanced ports and it has been planned for the basic planning and operation design in domestic case. The key of automated container terminal is effective operation of both ATC(automated transfer crane) and AGV(automated guided vehicle) which is automated handling equipments. This is essential to poductivity of automated container terminal. This study suggests the most optimal method of equipment operation in order to minimize loading time using each three types of effective ATC operation methods and AGV dispatching rules in automated container terminals. As the automated equipment operation causes unexpected deadlocks or interferences, it should be proceeded on event-based real time. Therefore we propose the most effective ATC operation methods and AGV dispatching rules in this paper. The various states occurred in real automated container terminals are simulated to evaluate these methods. This experiment will show the most robust automated equipment operation method on various parameters(the degree of yard re-marshaling, the number of containers and the number of AGVs)

Fire-driven flow and temperature distribution in a ventilated tunnel was analyzed by Large Eddy Simulation using FDS code. The simulated tunnel is 182m length, 5.4m wide and 2.4m height. A pool fire was located 112m from tunnel entrance and was taken as a heat source of $0.89m^2$. The heat is assumed to be released uniformly throughout the whole simulated time. The fire strength was 2.76MW and the fuel burnt was octane. The parallel computational method was employed to accelerate the computing time and manage the large grid points which is not possible to handle in the one CPU. The total grid points used were $2.4{\times}10^6$ and 7 CPUs were used to calculate the momentum and energy equations. The simulated results were well compared with the experiments.

An experimental study is performed in order to catch the characteristics of the flow field at arrested salt wedge, using a rectangular open channel. Arrested salt wedge is generally so stable that the observations are easy, but velocities and interfacial waves are measured with the aid of visualization method, by injection of fluorescent dyes. The density interface, which is defined as the zone of maximum density variation with depth, exists in about 0.5 cm below the visual interface, and vertical density profile is quite well satisfied with Homeborn model. Interfacial layer has high turbulent intensity and its thickness decreases as the overall Richardson number increases and has magnitude of roughly 17% of upper layer. Cross-sectional velocity distribution just shows the influence of a side-wall friction and in the upper layer vertical velocity profile also becomes uniformly as Reynolds number increases, but in the lower layer it shows nearly parabolic type. Supposes that we divide salt wedge into three domains, that is, river mouth, intermediate and tip zone, entertainment coefficient is small at the intermediate zone and large at the river mouth and the tip zone. River mouth or intermediate zone has comparatively stable interface and capillary wave therefore s produced and propagated downstream. On the other hand, tip zone is very unstable, cusping ripple or bursting ripple is then produced incessantly. Arrested salt wedge form is nearly linear and has no relation to densimetric Froude number and Reynolds number.

This numerical study investigates seismicity and fault slip induced by fluid injection in deep geothermal reservoir with pre-existing fractures and fault. Particle Flow Code 2D is used with additionally implemented hydro-mechanical coupled fluid flow algorithm and acoustic emission moment tensor inversion algorithm. The output of the model includes spatio-temporal evolution of induced seismicity (hypocenter locations and magnitudes) and fault deformation (failure and slip) in relation to fluid pressure distribution. The model is applied to a case of fluid injection with constant rates changing in three steps using different fluid characters, i.e. the viscosity, and different injection locations. In fractured reservoir, spatio-temporal distribution of the induced seismicity differs significantly depending on the viscosity of the fracturing fluid. In a fractured reservoir, injection of low viscosity fluid results in larger volume of induced seismicity cloud as the fluid can migrate easily to the reservoir and cause large number and magnitude of induced seismicity in the post-shut-in period. In a faulted reservoir, fault deformation (co-seismic failure and aseismic slip) can occur by a small perturbation of fracturing fluid (<0.1 MPa) can be induced when the injection location is set close to the fault. The presented numerical model technique can practically be used in geothermal industry to predict the induced seismicity pattern and magnitude distribution resulting from hydraulic stimulation of geothermal reservoirs prior to actual injection operation.

Purifying leachate discharged from animal carcass disposal sites requires decisions regarding the locations and numbers of boreholes. An electrical resistivity survey, known to be effective for investigating leachate distribution, was performed to evaluate the range extent of contamination due to local hydrological properties, such as groundwater flow direction, and geological structure. Results of the survey at four sites at a landfill near Icheon and Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, showed low-resistivity zones (20-200 ohm-m) at a depth of 8 m from the surface. Sites 1-4, which contain 5, 2, 4, and 2 boreholes, respectively, were estimated to have a contaminated groundwater acquisition capability of 12.9 m, 13.7 m, 10.1 m, and 18.0 m, and measured pumping capacity of 2,040 m³, 479.8 m³, 1,492.3 m³, and 691.9 m³, respectively.

In this study, fundamental properties such as fresh and hardened performance of concrete mix(specification : 25-24-18) added fluorine-silicate hybrid based crack reducing agent(FS) were measured. Addition of FS ranged from 0.5% to 2.0% at intervals 0.5% based on cement weight. Adequate dosage(0.5%) of FS derived from basic properties measurements applied and compared resistance for shrinkage crack. The permeability of concrete in the absence(24-S-0.0) and presence(24-S-0.5) of evaluated at a mock-up sized concrete. Concrete added FS improved resistance for shrinkage crack and consequently crack number, length and area decreased to $50{\sim}74.4%$ compared non-added. As well, by the addition of FS, the resistance for permeability and penetration depth to concrete surface region increased 67% and 40%, respectively. Therefore it was confirmed that shrinkage crack resistance and permeability of concrete could be improved by the addition of FS.

Purpose: We wanted to evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) for treating early gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 11 consecutive patients who underwent TLTG after being diagnosed with early gastric cancer at Incheon St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea from February 2005 to September 2009 were retrospectively reviewed and their clinicopathologic characteristics and the surgical results wereinvestigated. Results: The mean operation time was $385.6{\pm}94.1$ minutes, the mean time for creating an intracorporeal anastomosis was $97.5{\pm}60.0$ minutes and the mean number of the harvested lymph nodes was $46.6{\pm}15.4$ The mean number of days after operation until starting a liquid diet was the $6.1{\pm}7.6^{th}$ postoperative day and the mean hospital stay after surgery was $14.2{\pm}11.9$ days. There was no case of open conversion, but there were 2 cases of intraoperative complication and 3 cases of postoperative complication. There was one case of postoperative mortality. The patient suffered from thrombocytopenia of an unknown cause, which was refractory to platelet transfusion, on $4^{th}$ postoperative day and the patient died of intraabdominal bleeding on the $6^{th}$ postoperative day. Conclusion: TLTG was a technically feasible and relatively safe procedure. However, a long time for creating the intracoproeal anastomosis and a long operation time are still problems to be solved.
