Chattering phenomenon is still a large drawback of VSS. To overcome this problem, various approaches have been reported. A new notion of sliding sector has been proposed recently. In this paper, fuzzy control with time-varying boundary layer using the sliding sector theory with continued input function in the sector is proposed. This paper analyzes the stability, using Lyapunov function on the sliding sector. Computer simulation for inverted pendulum results in elimination of the chattering phenomenon.

The control rod assemblies do freely fall into the reactor core by the gravity from the control rod drive mechanism. In order to achieve a rapid shutdown and control the reactor power, it is required to insert control rod assemblies as soon as possible. In this paper, we evaluated the drop time and flow characteristics caused around guide tube for SMART(System-integrated modular advanced reactor) control rod assembly. Numerical analyses are carried out with FLUENT program of computational fluid dynamics. This study results show that the drop time of the control rod assembly in the operating condition of SMART is more 20 percent rapidly than the drop time of the room temperature and ambient atmosphere condition.

The blade leading edge is modified to control the secondary flow generated in the turbine cascade with fence by intensifying the suction side branch of the horseshoe vortex. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are numerically solved with a high Reynolds number k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence closure model for investigating the vortical flows in the turbine cascade. The computational results of total pressure loss coefficients in the wake region are first compared with experiments for validation. The structure and strength of the passage vortex near the suction surface are examined by testing various geometrical parameters of the turbine blade leading edge.

Variability in vertical ozone and meteorological profiles was measured by 2Z electrochemical concentration cells (ECC) ozonesonde at Bangyi in Seoul ($37.52^{\circ}N$, $127.13^{\circ}E$) during June $6{\sim}9$, 2003 in odor to identify the vertical distribution of ozone and its relationship with the lower-atmospheric structure resulted in the high ozone concentrations near the surface. The eight profiles obtained in the early morning and the late afternoon during the study period clearly showed that the substantial change of ozone concentrations in lower atmosphere(${\sim}5\;km$), indicating that it is tightly coupled to the variation of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) structure as well as the background synoptic flow. All profiles observed early in the morning showed very low ozone concentrations near the surface with strong vertical gradients in the nocturnal stable boundary layer due to the photochemical ozone loss caused by surface NO titration under very weak vertical mixing. On the other hand, relatively uniform ozone profiles in the developed mixing layer and the ozone peaks in the upper PBL, were observed in the late afternoon. It was noted that a significant increase in ozone concentrations in the lower atmosphere occurred with the corresponding decrease of the mixing height in the late afternoon on June 8. Ozone in upper layer did not vertically vary much compared to that in PBL but changed significantly on June 6 that was closely associated with the variation of synoptic flows. Interestingly, heavily polluted ozone layers aloft (a maximum value of 115 ppb around 2 km) were formed early in the morning on 6 through 7 June under dominant westerly synoptic flows. This indicates the effects of the transport of pollutants on regional scale and consequently can give a rise to increase the surface ozone concentration by downward mixing processes enhanced in the afternoon.

For an efficient sliding mode control system stability and chattering avoidance should be guaranteed. A continuation method using boundary layer is well known as one solution for this. However since not only model uncertainties and disturbances but also control task itself is variable. it is practically impossible to set controller parameters - control discontinuity, control bandwidth, boundary layer thickness - in advance. In this paper first an adaptation law of control discontinuity is introduced to assure system stability and then fuzzy logic based tuning algorithm of design parameters is applied based on monitored performance indices of tracking error, control chattering, and model precision. In the end maximum control bandwidth not exciting unmodeled dynamics and minimum control discontinuity, boundary layer thickness making system stable and free of chattering are found respectively. This eliminates control chattering and enhances control accuracy as much as possible under given control situation. In order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm safe headway maintenance control for autonomous transportation system is simulated. The control results show that the proposed algorithm guarantees system stability all the time and tunes control parameters consistently and in consequence implements an efficient control in terms of both accuracy and actuator chattering.

최근 화학, 연소, 동력, 제철 등의 각종 플랜트에서 조업압력이 고압화되어 가고 있으며, 이에 수반하여 배관계를 통하는 고압가스 유동에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 배관계를 통하는 고압가스의 유동에 있어서 유량의 적절한 제어, 유동에 의하여 야기되는 배관계의 소음·진동, 그리고 배기가스의 적절한 처리법 등은 공학적으로 매우 중요한 문제로 알려져 왔다. 일반적으로 정상운전을 하는 플랜트에서 고압 배기가스의 문제는 배기가스 Expander에 의하여 에너지를 회수하는 방법이 생각될 수 있으나, 실제 공업현장에서는 배기가스를 안전하고, 또 소음·진동을 발생시키지 않도록 적절하게 처리하는 것이 매우 중요한 기술적 과제로 남아 있다. 일반적으로 배기가스의 압력이 임계압력(critical pressure) 이상으로 되는 경우(실제 대부분의 플랜트에서 배기가스의 압력은 임계압력보다 매우 높다), 배관계 내부에서 충격파(shock-wave)가 발생하여 난류와동 혹은 난류경계층과 간섭하게 됨으로써 강력한 공기역학적 소음이나 진동을 발생시키게 된다. 이와 같은 소음·진동에 대한 대책으로는 현재 가스배출부에 감압밸브를 직렬로 설치하거나, 유로에 다공판(porous plates)들을 삽입하여 감압과정을 공간적으로 분산시킴으로써, 충격파가 발생하지 않도록 하는 방법을 주로 채택하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법을 적용하는 경우 배기가스 유동에 대한 유량의 제어기능이 저하되는 문제가 발생한다.

The Free surface influenced the wake behind a circular cylinder and its effects were investigated experimentally in a circulating water channe with the variation of water depth Instantaneous velocity fields were measured in this paper. the measured results has been compared with each other to investigate the flow characteristics of the circular cylinder's 2-dimensional section at $Re=1.0\times10^3$ using 2-frame grey level cross correlation PIV method. The flow around the circular cylinder with free surface affected the wake structure. especially, in case of d=1.0D, the boundary layer was measured in the whole area. The separation point and boundary layer of the circular cylinder could be controlled by the water depth.

The near-wall flow structures of turbulent boundary layer over riblets having semi-circular grooves were investigated experimentally for the drag decreasing ($s^+=25.2$) and drag increasing ($s^+=40.6$) cases. The field of view used for tho velocity field measurement was $6.75{\times}6.75mm^2$ in physical dimension, containing two grooves. One thousand instantaneous velocity fields over the riblets were extracted for each case of drag increase and decrease. For comparison, five hundreds instantaneous velocity fields over a smooth flat plate were also obtained under the same flow conditions. To see the global flow structure qualitatively, the flow visualization was also performed using the synchronized smoke-wire technique. For the drag decreasing case ($s^+=25.2$), most of the streamwise vortices stay above the riblets, interacting with the riblet tips. The high-speed in-rush flow toward the riblet surface rarely influences the flow inside tho riblet valleys submerged in the viscous sublayer. The riblet tips seem to impede the spanwise movement of the longitudinal vortices and induce secondary vortices. The turbulent kinetic energy in the riblet valley is sufficiently small to compensate the increased wetted area of the riblets. In addition, in the logarithmic region, the turbulent kinetic energy are small or almost equal to that of a smooth flat plato. For the drag increasing case ($s^+=40.6$), however, the streamwise vortices move into the riblet valley freely, interacting directly with the riblet inner surface. The penetration of the high-speed in-rush flow on the riblets increases tho skin-friction. The turbulent kinetic energy is increased in the riblet valleys and even in the outer region compared to that over a flat plate.

해안지역 지하수 개발에 있어 이익을 최대화하는 동시에 개발로 인한 부정적 영향을 최소화하는 4단계 확보방안이 제시되었다(박남식 등, 2004). 4단계 확보 방안 중 처음 3단계 방안에 대한 의사 결정 지원 도구역할을 할 수 있는 해안지하수 최적개발 모델이 개발되었다(박남식 등, 2003, 홍성훈, 2004). 개발된 모델은 대상 관정의 양수량과 위치에 대한 최적해 뿐만이 아니라 해수침투를 방지 및 제어에 대하여서도 최적화가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 모델의 민감도 분석 결과를 다루고 있다. 민감도 분석의 목적은 불확실성을 내포하고 있는 대수층의 주요 매개변수, 경계조건 등에 의해 야기될 수 있는 모델의 불확실성을 정량화하는 것이다(Anderson 등, 1992). 따라서 민감도 분석은 모델의 특성에 대한 이해뿐만이 아니라 모델에 있어 매개변수들의 영향 및 거동을 고찰하는데 중요한 연구이다. 구축된 최적개발 모델을 이용하여 수리전도도, 함양율, 대수층 두께와 같은 주요 매개변수들이 최적양수량 그리고 관정의 최적위치에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 그 결과 회수율은 함양율 증가에 따라 증가하는데, 높은 수리전도도에서는 함양율과 선형관계를, 낮은 수리전도도에서는 비선형관계를 보였다. 관정의 최적위치는 수리전도도에 가장 민감하였으며, 함양율 증가에 따라 해안으로 이동하였다. 마지막으로 최적개발량과 최적위치를 동시에 고려할 경우 최적개발량만을 고려한 경우보다 회수율이 향상되었다.

Of late, the thrust vectoring control, using fluidic co-flow and counter-flow concepts, has been received much attention since it not only improves the maneuverability of propulsive engine but also reduces an additional material load due to the trailing control wings, which in turn reduce the aerodynamic drag. However, the control effects are not understood well since the flow field involves very complicated non: physics such as shock wave/boundary layer interaction, separation and significant unsteadiness. Existing data are not enough to achieve the effectiveness and usefulness of the thrust vectoring control, and systematic work is required for the purpose of practical applications In the present study, computational study has been performed to investigate the effects of the thrust vector control using the fluidic co-and counter-flow concepts. The results obtained show that, for a given pressure ratio, the thrust deflection angle has a maximum value at a certain suction flow rate, which is at less than $5\%$ of the mass flow rate of the primary jet. With a longer collar, the same vector angle is achievable with smaller mass flow rate.
