In this paper, we adapt a modified internal energy non-equilibrium first-order extrapolation thermal boundary condition to the thermal lattice Boltzmann model (TLBM). This model is the double populations approach to simulate hydrodynamic and thermal fields. The bounce-back boundary condition which is a traditional boundary condition of lattice Boltzmann method has only a first order in numerical accuracy at the boundary and numerical instability. A non-equilibrium first-order extrapolation boundary condition has been verified to be of better numerical stability than the bounce-back boundary condition and this boundary condition is proved to be of second-order accuracy for the flat boundaries. The two-dimensional natural convection flow in a square cavity with Pr=0.71 and various Rayleigh numbers are simulated. The results are found to be in good agreement with those of previous studies.

하천은 여러 하천의 연결망으로 구성되어 있으며, 연결부는 절점으로 이루어져 있고, 이 절점은 하천이 합류하는 곳으로서 하천의 시스템을 구성하는 가장 중요한 요소이다. 최근에 친자연 하천 복원 등의 많은 사업을 하고 있음에도 불구하고 이에 대한 검토가 거의 이루어지지 않고 있으며, 이를 검토하고 이해하는 것이 하천을 복원하고 관리하는데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 본류와 지류의 하상경사 및 하상고가 다르고, 유사 유입조건이 다른 비평형 유입조건을 갖고 있으며, 하폭이 넓고 수심이 상대적으로 얕은 합류부에서 흐름 및 하상변동에 관하여 수치모의를 수행하여 그 특성을 파악하는데 그 목적이 있다. 적용 대상지역은 금강과 미호천의 합류부로서, 흐름 특성 및 하상변동을 모의하기 위하여 RMA-2와 SED2D를 이용하였다. 유량의 증가에 따라 흐름에 대한 유속이 증가하며, 전단층의 길이가 증가하고, 합류부의 우안의 정체수역에서 발생하는 와(vortex)의 크기도 증가하였다. 부유사의 농도는 실제 상황에 맞도록 비평형 유입조건을 사용하였으며, 미호천에서 유입되는 유사의 농도에 영향을 받아, 합류직후에도 유사의 농도가 높으며, 전단층을 경계로 하여 농도 띠가 하류로 유지되었으며, 합류 후에는 우안에서는 하상이 상승되었다.

In this study, we have fabricated nonequilibrium $Fe_{85.6}Zr_{3.3}B_{5.7}Ag_{5.4}$ thin film, which contains an additional insoluble element Ag, by using DC magnetron sputtering method. We have investigated the magnetic properties of amorphous $Fe_{85.6}Zr_{3.3}B_{5.7}Ag_{5.4}$ thin film as a function of rotational field annealing(RFA). After deposition, the amorphous $Fe_{85.6}Zr_{3.3}B_{5.7}Ag_{5.4}$ thin film annealed by rotational field annealing method at $350^{\circ}C$ for an hour was founded to have high permeability of 8680 of 100 MHz, 0.2 mOe, low coercivity of 0.86 De and very low core loss of 1.3 W/cc at 1 MHz, 0.1T.

The present study investigates numerically nonequilibrium energy transfer between electrons and phonons in metal thin films irradiated by ultrashort pulse lasers and it also provides the temporal and spatial variations of electron and phonon temperatures using the well-established two-temperature model(TTM) on the basis of the Boltzmann transport equation(BTE). This article predicts the crater shapes in gold film structures, and compares the results by using two-dimensional energy transport equation. From the results, it is found that nonequilibrium energy transfer between electrons and phonons takes place, and the equilibrium time increases with the increase of laser fluence. On the other hand, above threshold fluence the ablation time doesn't change nearly with increasing fluences. Compared with one-dimensional TTM, it also reveals that the temporal distributions of electron and phonon temperatures at the top surface estimated by using two-dimensional TTM have a similar tendency. The results show that two-dimensional TTM can simulate the crater shape of metals during the irradiation of femtosecond pulse lasers and the absorbed energy is propagated to z-direction faster than to r-direction.

A nonequilibrium molecular dynamics(NEMD) simulation method is developed and applied to study shock waves propagating through argon gas. In this simulation method, shock waves are generated by pushing a piston at a constant speed from one side of a simulation box filled with argon molecules. A linear relationship between piston speeds and shock speeds is observed. Thermodynamic properties including density, temperature, and pressure before and after the shock front are obtained from the simulations and compared with the well-known Rankine-Hugoniot equations based on ideal gases. The comparison shows an excellent agreement, indicating that this NEMD simulation method can be employed to investigate various physical properties of shock waves further.

This study was conducted to explore the flow contamination in the $CH_4-O_2$ vitiated air heater. Non-equilibrium and equilibrium calculation were made of the flow processes in the heater and nozzle assuming the inviscid and one dimensional flow. The results were compared with the measurement data. The overall results of this study showed additional non-equilibrium calculation should be considered to assess the presence of NO, which species could yield the combustion delay or no reaction, as a contaminant.

The initial condition of a core transient should be consistent with real core state for the simulation of the core tansient. The initial xenon distribution, which can not be measured in the core, has a significant effect on the transient with xenon dynamics. In the simulation of the transient starting from non-equilibrium xenon state, the accurate initialization of the non-equilibrium xenon distribution is essential for the prediction of the core transient behavior. In this study, a xenon initialization method to predict the core transient more accurately was developed through the equivalent pre-xenon-oscillation which represents the tenon oscillation before the transient and verified by the application of the simulation for a startup test of Yonggwang Unit 3.

For the purpose of preventing the flow undulation in the cascade of steam turbine, the blades are made into a constant expansion rate in static pressure. And the flow in those cascades is transonic or supersonic in the range of 0.7-2.0 in Mach number. As a consequence, an oblique shock wave, known as inner or outer edge shock wave, arises in the flow of cascades. Especially when the steam in cascades is in a state of high wetness, nonequilibrium condensation and condensation shock wave occur, and they give rise to an interference with oblique shock wave. In the present study the case of expansion of moist air through a supersonic nozzle of constant expansion rate, which behaves similar to that of wet steam, was adopted. The effect of nonequilibrium condensation on the oblique shock wave generated by placing the wedge into the supersonic part of the nozzle was investigated. Furthermore, the relationship between nonequilibrium condensation zone and incident point of the oblique shock wave, oblique shock wave angle, the variations of angles of incident and reflected shock waves due to the variation of initial stagnation supersaturation and the relationship between the height of Mach stem and initial stagnation supersaturation are discussed.

Intracavity frequency doubling of a single-mode Nd:YAG laser by using a nonplanar ring cavity is demonstrated. The nonplanar ring cavity consists of a Brewster-angled Nd:YAG crystal placed in a magnetic field, a KTP crystal, and two spherical mirrors. In this design the Nd:YAG block acts as both a nonreciprocal polarization rotator and a partial polarizer, and the nonplanar portion of the ring cavity, which is formed by a relative twist angle between the Brewster-angled end surfaces of the Nd:YAG block, serves as a reciprocal polarization rotator. An eigenpolarization theory for the cavity configuration is presented and suitable values of the relative twist angle for unidirectional operation are estimated. A single-mode output power of 22 ㎽ at 532 nm and an optical to optical conversion efficiency of 1.8% are obtained with a 1.2 W diode laser at 809 nm.

In the paper, we propose an improved mobility method of modular robots by physical docking in the uneven environments. The modular robot system consists of autonomous docking device, 3 DOF robotic arm, motion controller, and main controller. Real-time location and direction of the robot are estimated using inner GPS and they are used to control direction and path of each robot for physical docking between modular robots. We design a navigation algorithm of modular robot using physical docking and cooperative navigation in the environment with broken road and low stair. The proposed method is verified by navigation experiments of three developed modular robots in the uneven environments.
