The thrust force created by a propeller depends on the incoming flow velocity and the rotational velocity of the propeller. The performance of the propeller can be described by dimensionless variables, advanced ratio, thrust coefficient, and power coefficient. This study included the application of the immersed boundary lattice Boltzmann method (IBLBM) with the stereo lithography (STL) file of the rotating object for performance analysis. The immersed boundary method included the addition of the external force term to the LB equation defined by the velocity difference between the lattice points of the propeller and the grid points in the domain. The flow by rotating a 4-blade propeller was simulated with various Reynolds numbers (Re) (including 100, 500 and 1000), with advanced ratios in the range of 0.2~1.4 to verify the suggested method. The typical tendency of the thrust efficiency of the propeller was obtained from the simulation results of different advanced ratios. It was also necessary to keep the maximum mesh size ratio of the propeller surface to a grid size below 3. Additionally, a sufficient length of the downstream region in the domain was maintained to ensure the numerical stability of the higher Re and advanced ratio flow.

A 0.5 t/h class non-furnace boiler has been developed with the aim of achieving a high efficiency and compactness. A metal fiber burner has been adopted so that a stable flame can be obtained. The tube banks are installed downstream of the burner. Bare tubes are used upstream, while finned tubes are installed downstream. The heat-transfer characteristics of the non-furnace boiler have been studies on the basis of the results of the numerical simulation as well as those of the experiment. Important design parameters such as the bulk temperature along the streamwise direction and the temperature of the fin tips have been evaluated using the CFD results and compared with the experimental data and the empirical correlations typically used for the design of the boiler.

The purpose of this study is to propose appropriate model for 3 staged Didimsae movement to Jajinmori rhythm and to provide information for ideal foot step movements. For the locational change of body center, the height of body center is lowered at the moment of forward step and during forward intersection of the feet, forward direction linear motion is converted to vertical motion to maintain stability. Speed change of body center reduces flow of body on step forward moment and controls rapid forward movement for stabled movement and position when preventing fast forward horizontal direction movement of centroid speed while knee joint and foot joint are vertically risen for heel bone contacts the ground. For angle changes of joints, in order to prevent hyperextension of lower leg, hip joint is extended and knee joint is curved to secure stability of movement for smooth curves and extension. When centroid of foot joint is moved from top of the feet to whole foot sole and when left foot makes dorsal curve, stabled movement is accomplished.

In general, the circulation path of the fluidized particles in a CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) boiler is such that the particles entrained from a combustor are collected by a cyclone and recirculated to the combustor via a sealpot which is one of non-mechanical valves. However, when a fluidized bed heat exchanger (FBHE) is installed to additionally absorb heat from the fluidized particles, some particles in the sealpot pass through the FBHE and then flow into the combustor. At this time, in the FBHE operated in the bubbling fluidization regime, if the heat flow is not evenly distributed by poor mixing of the hot particles (800~950 ℃) flowing in from the sealpot, the heat exchanger tubes would be locally heated and then damaged, and the agglomeration of particles could also occur by formation of hot spot. This may affect the stable operation of the circulating fluidized bed. In this study, the unevenness of heat flow arising from structural problems of the FBHE of the domestic D-CFB boiler was found through the operating data analysis and the CPFD (Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics) simulation using Barracuda VR. Actually, the temperature of the heat exchanger tubes in the FBHE showed the closest correlation with the change in particle temperature of the sealpot. It was also found that the non-uniformity of the heat flow was caused by channeling of hot particles flowing in from the sealpot. However, it was difficult to eliminate the non-uniformity even though the fluidizing velocity of the FBHE was increased enough to fluidize hot particles vigorously. When the premixing zone for hot particles flowing in from the sealpot is installed and when the structure is changed through the symmetrization of the FBHE discharge line for particles reflowing into the combustor, the particle mixing and the uniformity of heat flow were found to be increased considerably. Therefore, it could be suggested that the structural modification of the FBHE, related to premixing and symmetric flow of hot particles, is an alternative to reduce the non-uniformity of the heat flow and to minimize the poor particle mixing.

This study is to suggest specialty contractors with countermeasures to construction orders falling off, one of the construction business indicators for the construction industry, by analyzing the impact of dwindling construction orders to business performance indicators of specialty contractors as well as identifying inter-relationships between those performance indicators. For specialty contractors of civil construction, it is analyzed that their current ratio is significantly affecting obtention of construction orders, which in turn greatly affecting the ratio of owner's equity. It seems that the amount of construction orders has a direct relationship with the corporate stability. Therefore, this type of specialty contractors are determined to be able to obtain more orders for construction by improving current ratio.

In this studs, hydraulic routing model has been developed to predict the water level and discharge in each river section with considering the full interaction between surface runoff and river flow. It improved the computation of flood runoff by reflecting the shape of hydrograph that was determined by the geological and flood characteristics, and the excessive computation of the peak discharge was eliminated by considering the effect of infiltration. The Inflow from surface runoff to river flow was applied to the equation of continuity by implementing effectively the flow in a number of river section, and resulted in a numerical stability at the rapid variation of rainfall. Measurements were conducted during heavy rain in the watershed area of Yang-Yang Namdae-Chun. The present model was tested to the field, and the computed results were compared to the observed data. Its applicability was confirmed with its verification.

In this study, the centrifuge tests were performed to investigate the lateral flow behavior and stability of the ground improved by SCP. The centrifuge tests were fulfilled in the case of the back of abutment filled by EPS (case 1) and soil (case 2), and the potentiometer was installed on the abutment and embankment to measure the vertical and horizontal displacement at the top of abutment. As a result, the vertical displacement measured at the back of abutment was maximum 2.1 m, which was about 12% if compared with the height of embankment. In the case of the back of abutment filled by soil, the vertical and horizontal displacement measured at the top of abutment was 10 cm and 1.1 m, respectively, which exceeded the allowable horizontal displacement. On the other hand, in the case of the back of abutment filled by EPS, the vertical displacement of abutment did nor occur and the horizontal displacement was 1.4 cm. Therefore, the effect of SCP improvement with EPS method adopted to prevent the lateral flow and assure the stability of embankment on the soft ground was far superior.
