In this paper, we describe a case study of the film 'Sector 7' which was produced by technologies applied fluid simulation. For the CG scenes in the movie which include highly detailed fluid motions, we used smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) technique to express subtle movements of seawater from a crashed huge tank, and used hybrid simulation method of particles and levelsets to describe bursting water from a submarine's broken canopy. We also used detonation shock dynamics(DSD) technique for detailed flame simulations to produce a burning monster, the film"s main character. At this point, the divergence-free vortex particle method was applied to conserve the incompressible property of fluids. In addition, we used an upsampling method to achieve more efficient video production. Consequently, we could produce the high-quality visual effects by using the domestic technologies.

This study was conducted to develop self-repairing ability for concrete so that inspection could be available even in the event of minute cracks, for more economic concrete structure maintenance and longevity. This is a basic attempt to develop self-repairing concrete using the biochemical reaction of bacteria through an innovative method. In this study, the characteristics and problems posed by self-repairing concrete as proposed in international scientific journals were examined, and the potential of new concrete reformation and performance improvement using bio-mineralization was explored. Bio-mineralization, which is an action of creating bio-minerals using an organism, was proposed. A new concept of bacteria such as bacillus pasteurii using bio-mineralization that precipitates calcium carbonate, as well as the possibility of mechanical performance and durability of concrete and repair of cracks, was introduced. Directions for further study through basic experiments and developmental feasibility of self-repairing concrete were also presented.

Nondestructive damage sensitivity on single-basalt fiber/epoxy composites was evaluated by micromechanical technique and acoustic emission (AE). Piezoelectric lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) copolymer were used as AE sensor, respectively. In single-fiber composite, the damage sensing with different sensor types were compared to each other. Piezoelectric PVDF polymer sensor was embedded in and attached on the composite, whereas PZT sensor was only attached on the surface of specimen. In case of embedded polymer sensors, responding sensitivity was higher than that of the attached case. It can be due to full constraint inside specimen to transfer elastic wave coming from micro-deformation. For both the attached and the embedded cases, the sensitivity of P(VDF-TrFE) sensor was almost same as that of conventional PVDF sensor.

This research is intended to investigate the behavior of the jointed rock under various loading conditions: static or dynamic load. The distributed state concept (DSC) is based on the idea that the response of the joint can be related to and expressed as the response of the reference states : relative intact (RI) and fully adjusted (FA) states. In the DSC, an initially RI joint modifies continuously through a process of natural self-adjustment, and a part of it approaches the FA state at randomly disturbed locations in the joint areas. In this study, based on the DSC concept, RI state, FA state, and disturbance function (D) are defined for characterizing the behavior of rock joint. From the results of this research, it can be stated that DSC model is capable of capturing the physical behavior of jointed rock such as softening and hardening and considering the size of joint and roughness of joint surface.

최근 우리나라에서는 기상이변과 기후변화에 의한 국지성 집중호우의 발생으로 인해 인명 및 재산 피해가 증가하는 추세이다. 따라서 이러한 기상현상을 좀 더 정확하게 예측하고 이를 대응하고자 악기상 모형의 개발과 구축 및 활용에 대한 연구들이 활발하게 진행 중에 있다. GCM이 제공하고 있는 많은 유용한 정보에도 불구하고 대부분의 모델이 시 공간 분해능과 물리 과정의 한계점으로 인해 지역적인 기후 특성이나 변화를 예측하기에는 많은 문제점들이 나타나고 있다. GCM의 한계점을 극복하기 위한 방법으로 세밀한 규모의 기후 정보를 얻기 위해 복잡한 지형과 해안선, 호수, 식생, 지표특성과 같은 아격자 규모의 강제 효과를 반영할 수 있는 고해상도 지역 기후 모델(Regional Climate Model, RCM)의 필요성이 제기되었다. 본 연구에서는 전지구 20km 격자자료를 입력장으로 하여 8km 격자로 한반도를 포함하는 도메인에 대해 비정역학 완전 압축성 중규모 모델인 WRF를 이용하여 상세예측자료를 생산하고자 하였다. 강수 예측의 경우 돌발적으로 발생하는 경우가 많아, 이를 예측하기 위해서는 상세한 강수량 정보를 빠른 시간 내에 정확히 제공할 수 있는 모델을 사용하여야 한다. 강수의 경우 온도와는 달리 공간적 편차가 매우 커 지역적으로 정확한 강수량을 예측 하는데 어려움이 있다. 상세강수 예측을 위해 미세 격자 규모의 비 정역학 모형을 사용할 경우 계산양이 매우 늘어나기 때문에 장시간의 모형 적분 시간뿐 아니라, 상당한 컴퓨터 자원을 필요로 하므로 이에 대한 대안으로 지형효과를 포함한 강수량 진단 모형인 QPM(Quantitative Precipitation Model)을 사용하였다. 최종적으로 한반도의 복잡한 지형적 영향을 반영하기 위해 1 km의 수평해상도를 가지는 고해상도 강수량 진단 모형(QPM)과 상세한 지리적, 공간적 분석을 할 수 있는 ARCGIS를 이용하여 한반도 도별 상세 강수자료를 생산하고자 한다.

In recent times, the lack of good quality natural aggregate has led to the alternative use of recycled aggregate. However, the adhered mortars in recycled aggregate lower the performance of the concrete, such as by reducing its strength and causing deterioration and cracking. In this study, the effects of nylon fiber (NF) on the mechanical and durable performance of recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RAC) were experimentally examined. Concrete specimens with natural coarse aggregate (NA) or RA were produced by adding 0, 0.6 and $1.2kg/m^3$ of NF. Various mechanical properties and the durability of the RAC were measured and compared with those of the NAC. In addition, in order to observe the hydrates and ITZ, SEM observations were made of the 28-day concrete samples. From the test results, as expected, it was found that the RAC exhibited lower performance than the NAC. However, the addition of NF to the concrete was effective in significantly enhancing the performance of the RAC due to the bridge effect of the NF.

Recently, the production of circulating fluidized bed combustion ash has been increased in thermal power plants. The addition of limestone for the desulfurizing effect of circulating fluidized bed boiler ash increases the content of CaO and $SO_3$ contained in ash, which is higher than the free fly ash in general fly ash. Unlike conventional fly ash, the circulating fluidized bed combustion ash has a high reactivity when it comes into contact with water due to its hydraulic properties and high free-CaO content. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of non-sintered binder by using self-cementing properties of circulating fluidized bed combustion ash. The mechanical and hydration characteristics were investigated according to the content of CFBC ash. In addition, the effects of gymsum type and content on the compressive strength and micro-structure of non-sintered binder pastes.

The flow in a microchannel is usually characterized as a low Reynolds number (Re) so that good mixing is quite difficult to be achieved. In this regard, we developed a novel chaotic micromixer, named Serpentine Laminating Micromixer (SLM) in the present study, Part 1. In the SLM, the higher level of chaotic mixing can be achieved by combining two general chaotic mixing mechanisms: splitting/recombination and chaotic advection. The splitting and recombination (in other term, lamination) mechanism is obtained by the successive arrangement of 'F'-shape mixing units in two layers. The chaotic advection is induced by the overall three-dimensional serpentine path of the microchannel. Chaotic mixing performance of the SLM was fully characterized numerically. To compare the mixing performance, a T-type micromixer which has the same width, height and length of the SLM was also designed. The three-dimensional numerical mixing simulations show the superiority of the SLM over the T-type micromixer. From the cross-sectional simulation results of mixing patterns, the chaotic advection effect from the serpentine channel path design acts favorably to realize the ideal lamination of fluid flow as Re increases. Chaotic mixing mechanism, proposed in this study, could be easily integrated in Micro-Total-Analysis-System, Lab-on-a-Chip and so on.

This study analysed error of measurement and reproducibility for particle size analysis by the laser diffraction spectrometer. Laser diffraction spectrometers has become a very important method of particle size analysis. This measuring method has the advantage of simple operation, good reproducibility and rapid analysis. A feeding and dispersing system have been developed, which allows mass throughputs between 0.1~23 g/min in flowing air and 1.4~35% in flowing liquid. It has been used as a feeder unit for wet and dry particle size analysis from diffraction patterns. Relevant parameters, such as particle shape, particle size, dispersion, flow rate, concentration were analysed for measuring error. And system parameters of instruments for measurement of dynamic processes, eg, measuring time, focal plane, injection pressure drop and dispersion effect by the ultrasonic and mixing of preliminary treatment, were also discussed.

Cement has been traditionally used as a main binding material of high ductile fiber reinforced cementitious composites. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of using alkali-activated slag and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers for manufacturing high ductile fiber reinforced cementless composites. Two mixture proportions with proper flowability and mortar viscosity for easy fiber mixing and uniform fiber dispersion were selected based on alkali activators. Then, the slump flow, compression, uniaxial tension and bending tests were performed on the mixes to evaluate the basic properties of the composites. The cementless composites showed an average slump flow of 465 mm and tensile strain capacity of approximately 2% of due to formation of multiple micro-cracks. Test results demonstrated a feasibility of manufacturing high ductile fiber reinforced composites without using cement.
