Purpose: The architectural structures in the engineering field include more than one material, and the heat transfer through these multiple materials becomes complicated. More or less, the analytic solutions obtained by the hand calculation can provide the limited information of heat transfer phenomena. However, the engineers have generally been forced to obtain reliable results than those of the hand calculation. The numerical calculation such as a finite volume methods with the unstructured grid system is only the suitable means of the analysis for the complex and arbitrary domains that consists of multiple materials. In this study, a new numerical code is developed to provide temperature distributions in the multiple material domains, and the results of this code are compared with the validation cases in ISO10211. Method: Finite volume methods with an unstructured grid is employed. In terms of numerical methods, the heat transfer conduction coefficient is not defined on the surface of the cell between different material cells. The heat transfer coefficient is properly defined to accurately mimic the heat transfer through the surface. The boundary conditions of heat flux considering radiation or heat convection are also developed. Result: The comparison between numerical results and ISO 10211 cases. We are confirmed that the numerical method provides the proper temperature distributions, and the heat transfer equation and its boundary conditions are developed properly.

Demands for semiconductor devices are dramatically increasing, and advancements in fabrication technology are allowing a step-up in the number of devices per unit area. As a result, semiconductor devices require higher heat dissipation, and thus, cooling solutions have become important for guaranteeing their operational reliability. In particular, in chip-in-board packages, in which chips and passives are embedded in the substrates for efficient device layout, heat dissipation is of greater importance. In this study, a thermal model for layers of different materials has been proposed, and then, the heat transfer has been simulated by imposing a set of appropriate boundary conditions. Heat generation can be predicted based on the results, which will be utilized as practical data for actual package design.

In this study, the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics within sandwich panels are investigated using computational fluid dynamics. Within the sandwich panels having periodic cellular cores, air can freely move inside the core section so that the structure is able to perform multi-functional roles such as simultaneous load bearing and heat dissipation. Thus, there needs to examine the thermal and flow analysis with respect to design variables and various conditions. In this regard, ANSYS Fluent was utilized to explore the flow and heat transfer within the pyramidal truss sandwich structures by varying the truss angle and inlet velocity. Without the entry effect in the first unitcell, the constant rate of pressure and the constant rate of Nusselt number was observed. As a result, it was demonstrated that Nusselt number increases and friction factor decreases as the inlet velocity increases. Moreover, the rate of Nusselt number and friction factor was appreciable in the range of V=1-5m/s due to the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Regarding the effect of design variable, the variation of truss angle did not significantly influence the characteristics.

A research was conducted to develop a 2-D nonlinear Galerkin finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures subjected to high temperature with experiments. Algorithms for calculating the closed-form element stiffness for a triangular element with a fully populated material conductance are developed. The validity of the numerical model used in the program is established by comparing the prediction from the computer program with results from full-scale fire resistance tests. Details of fire resistance experiments carried out on reinforced concrete slabs, together with results, are presented. The results obtained from experimental test indicated in that the proposed numerical model and the implemented codes are accurate and reliable. The changes in thermal parameters are discussed from the point of view of changes of structure and chemical composition due to the high temperature exposure. The proposed numerical model takes into account time-varying thermal loads, convection and radiation affected heat fluctuation, and temperature-dependent material properties. Although, this study considered standard fire scenario for reinforced concrete slabs, other time versus temperature relationship can be easily incorporated.

A numerical method is presented which can solve the steady flow and heat transfer from a rotating and heated circular cylinder in a uniform flow for a range of Reynolds number form 5 to 100. The steady response of the flow and heat transfer is simulated for various spin parameter. The effects on the flow field and heat transfer characteristics known as lift, drag and heat transfer coefficient are analyzed and the streamlines, velocity vectors, vorticity, temperature distributions around it were scrutinized numerically. As spin parameter increases the region of separation vortex becomes smaller than upper one and the lower region will vanish. The lift force, a large part is due to the pressure force, increases as the Reynolds number and it increases linearly as spin parameter increases. The pressure coefficient changes rapidly with spin parameter on the lower surface of the cylinder and the vorticity is sensitive to the spin parameter near separation region. As spin parameter increases the maximum heat coefficient and the thin thermal layer on front region are moved to direction of rotation. However, with balance between the local increase and decrease, the overal heat transfer coefficient is almost unaffected by rotation.

토목구조물 및 사면의 붕괴는 집중호우가 내리는 경우 많이 발생하고 있으며, 특히 사면에서는 붕괴까지의 변형이 급속히 진행되어 이를 사전에 예방하기는 매우 어려운 현실이다. 침투 및 배수과정에서의 사면 붕괴는 강우침투로 인한 지반의 물리적 특성변화가 직접적으로 사면의 안전계수 변화에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되며, 이때 발생하는 물리적 특성변화로는 침투시 사면 내 지반의 단위 중량은 증가하여 전단응력의 증가 및 전단강도 감소현상이 발생하며, 이와 반대로 사면 내 배수로 인하여 전단응력의 감소 및 전단강도의 증가현상이 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강우침투로 발생하는 지반의 포화도 변화를 지반 내 투수계수의 함수로 설명하여 강우로 인한 지반의 침투 및 배수과정을 규명하고자 한다. 일반적으로 지반 내 지하수의 침투과정은 라플라스 공식을 적용한다. 그러나 라플라스 공식은 정상 상태(Steady State)일 경우에만 사용할 수 있고, 강우 등으로 인한 지하수의 수두 변화가 발생한 비정상 상태(Unsteady State)의 경우에는 부적합하므로 사면과 옹벽 등의 토질구조물에서는 안전성 변화를 계산할 수 없다. 이를 위해 사면 내 지반의 침투 및 배수과정을 투수계수의 함수로 나타내어, 강우의 침투과정을 Fourier Series, 변수분리법 및 섭동함수를 사용하여 식으로 유도함으로서 강우에 의한 지반의 침투 및 배수과정에 따른 사면 내 지하수의 분포를 예측한다. 침투과정 해석을 위하여 지표에서 포화대까지의 깊이 10m의 모델사면 및 지표부터 포화대까지의 포화도는 직선으로 비례한다는 가정을 적용한다. 먼저 푸리에 급수를 이용, 시간에 따른 온도를 열전달에 관하여 편미분하여 발생하는 열확산계수를 투수계수로 변환함에 따라 지하수의 시간과 수직방향거리에 대한 지반의 포화도를 산정한다. 변수분리법은 산정된 포화도에 지반의 초기조건과 경계조건를 고려하기 위해 적용하며, 변수분리법에 의해 산정된 지하수 분포를 섭동함수법으로 과도 및 정상상태로 분류한다. 본 연구의 수행으로 인해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, Fourier Series와 변수분리법, 섭동함수를 이용하여 강우에 의한 지반의 포화도 변화를 수식적으로 나타낼 수 있으며 둘째, 지반에서의 강우침투과정을 식으로 표현함으로서, 깊이별 시간에 따른 포화도의 영역이 상부로부터 하부로 전이되는 과정을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 푸리에 급수를 이용한 지반의 침투계산으로 강우로 인한 지반의 포화영역 및 불포화영역을 명확히 구분할 수 있으며, 각 깊이별 포화도를 계산하여 각 구간에서 불포화구간의 전단강도에 대한 보다 정확한 계산이 가능하리라 판단된다.

The braking system is one of the most important components in vehicles and machines. It must exert a reliable braking force when they are brought to a halt. Generally, frictional heat is generated by converting kinetic energy into heat energy through friction. As the kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, high temperature heat is generated which affects the mechanical behavior of the braking system. Frictional heat affects the thermal expansion and friction coefficient of the brake system. If the temperature is not controlled, the brake performance will be decreased. Therefore, it is important to predict and control the heat generation of the brake. Various numerical analysis studies have been carried out to predict the frictional heat, but they assumed the existence of boundary conditions in the numerical analysis to simulate the frictional heat, because the simulation of frictional heat is difficult and time consuming. The results were based on the assumption that the frictional heat is different from the actual temperature distribution in a rotating brake system. Therefore, the reliability of the cooling effect or thermal stress using the results of these studies is insufficient. In order to overcome these limitations and establish a simulation procedure to predict the frictional heat, this study directly simulates the frictional heat generation by using a thermal-structure coupling element. In this study, we analyzed the thermo-mechanical behavior of a brake model, in order to investigate the thermal characteristics of brake systems by using the Finite Element method (FEM). This study suggests the necessity to directly simulate the frictional heating and it is hoped that it can provide the necessary information for simulations.

Because the inner environment of greenhouse has a direct impact on crop production, many studies have been performed to develop technologies for controlling the environment in the greenhouse. However, it is difficult to apply the technology developed to all greenhouses because those studies were conducted through empirical experiments in specific greenhouses. It takes a lot of time and cost to develop the models that can be applicable to all greenhouse in real situation. Therefore studies are underway to solve this problem using computer-based simulation techniques. In this study, a model was developed to predict the inner environment of glass greenhouse using CFD simulation method. The developed model was validated using primary and secondary heating experiment and daytime greenhouse inner temperature data. As a result of comparing the measured and predicted value, the mean temperature and uniformity were 2.62℃ and 2.92%p higher in the predicted value, respectively. R² was 0.9628, confirming that the measured and the predicted values showed similar tendency. In the future, the model needs to improve by applying the shape of the greenhouse and the position of the inner heat exchanger for efficient thermal energy management of the greenhouse.

This study investigated the natural convection and radiation in a rectangular enclosure with ceiling vent experimentally and numerically. A heat source is located on the center of the bottom surface. The analysis was peformed a pure convection and is combination of natural convection and radiation. The shape of the considered two dimensional model is a square whose center of ceiling($30\%$) is opened. The numerical simulations are carried out for the pure natural convection case and the combined heat transfer case by using the SIMPLE algorithm. For the turbulent flow, Reynolds stresses are closed by the standard $k-{\epsilon}$ model and the wall function is used to determine the wall boundary conditions. The experiment was performed on the same geometrical shape as the computations. The radiative heat transfer is analized by the S-N discrete ordinates method. The results of pure natural convection are compared with those of combined heat transfer by the velocity vectors, stream lines, isothermal lines. The results obtained are as follows 1. Comparing the results of pure convection with those of the combined convection-radiation through the shape of stream lines, isothermal lines are similar to each other. 2.
