In the present experimental study, the regime limit and pressure drop of dry-plug flow (dry wall condition at the gas portions of plug flow) in round mini-channels has been investigated. The air-water mixture was flowed through the round mini-channels made of Teflon, where the tube diameters ranged from 1.26 to 2.06 mm. For the present experimental range, with decreasing of the tube diameter, the transition between the plug and slug flows (wet and dry) happened at the higher gas superficial velocity region, which were in good agreement with the previous flow pattern maps tested. On the other hand, the transition between the wet- and dry-plug flows was little affected by the change of the tube diameter. In the pressure drop of dry-plug flows, among the correlations tested, the Lee and Lee's (2008) correlation best fitted the measured pressure drop data within the mean deviation of 10% for the present experimental range.

In general, the choking phenomenon occurs by flow acceleration for a turbine at high pressure ratio condition. In choking condition, total pressure ratio increases without mass flow rate variation. It is hard to predict choking characteristics by using conventional meanline analysis which used mass flow inlet boundary condition. In the present study, the algorithm for predicting choking point is developed to solve the problem. Moreover, performance estimation algorithm after choking is presented by reflecting the flow behaviour of flow expansion at choked nozzle or rotor. The analysis results are compared with 3D CFD analysis and experimental data to validate present method.

최근 기후변화로 인하여 국지성 집중호우 및 태풍으로 인한 피해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 산지가 많은 국내에서는 토석류 피해 또한 급증하고 있다. 2011년 집중호우로 인해 서울시에 위치한 우면산에서 많은 토석류가 발생하였고 이로 인해 많은 인명과 재산피해가 발생하였다. 여기서, 토석류란 산악지역의 상류에서 유발된 강우와 함께 토석 및 유목 등이 섞여 계곡하류로 빠르게 이동하는 현상을 의미한다. 이러한 토석류의 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 발생가능성과 범위를 예측하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하며, 토석류 발생에 영향을 미치는 가장 큰 두 가지 원인은 강우와 지형학적인 조건이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나, 현실적으로 강우정보는 하류지역에 위치하고 있는 AWS 기상관측소의 정보만을 이용 할 수 있기 때문에 산악지역에서 시시각각 변화하는 강우정보를 얻는 데는 한계가 있다. 그러므로 시 공간적인 강우의 변동성을 관측할 수 있는 레이더 강우정보를 이용하는 것은 매우 중요하다고 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시 공간적으로 우수한 해상도를 가진 레이더 강우 정보와 토석류 2차원 수치해석 모형인 RAMMS(Rapid Mass Move Simulation)모형을 연계하여 토석류 모의를 실시하여 토석류의 유동심, 토석유속, 충격력 등을 산정하였고, 지상강우정보를 이용하여 산정된 결과와 비교함으로서 레이더 강우정보를 이용한 토석류 예측의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

In general, the choking phenomenon occurs due to the flow acceleration of a turbine under high pressure-ratio. During choking, the total pressure ratio increases without any variation in the mass flow rate. It is difficult to predict choking characteristics by using conventional meanline analysis, which utilizes mass flow inlet boundary condition. In this study, an algorithm for predicting the choking point is developed to solve this problem. In addition, a performance estimation algorithm is presented to estimate the performance after choking, based on the flow behavior of flow expansion at the choked nozzle or rotor. The analysis results are compared with 3D CFD analysis and experimental data to validate this method.

본 논문은 계속적으로 움직이는 Pan & Tilt 카메라를 가지고 객체를 안정적으로 추적하기 위해 Level Set 알고리즘과 Pan & Tilt 카메라간의 상호 유동적인 시스템을 설계하는 방법에 대하여 기술하고 있다. 특정객체를 Pan & Tilt 카메라로 계속적으로 추적하고자 할 때는 안정적인 배경영상을 얻을 수 없기 때문에 MOG 와 같은 통계적인 추적알고리즘을 쓰는 것이 불가능해진다. 본 논문에서는 배경 영상이 계속적으로 변하기 때문에 고정된 배경 영상을 가질 수 없는 문제와 이로 인해 객체의 영역을 잘 추출할 수 없다는 한계를 극복하기 위해 Level Set 에 기반한 외곽선 추적 방법을 이용한다. 이 방법은 단지 차영상만을 가지고도 어느 정도 객체의 영역을 추출할 수 있는 방법이다. Level Set 방법은 높은 복잡도를 가지기 때문에 실시간 계산이 빠른 외곽선 추적 방법을 이용하였으며, 이를 통해 실시간 영상에 대한 외곽선 추적을 가능하게 하였다. 그리고 Level Set 기반 외곽선 추출 방법에 의해 객체의 중심점을 구하는 알고리즘과 Pan & Tilt 카메라에 의해 객체를 추적하는 알고리즘 간에 유동적인 연결을 하였다.

Even if some CFD software developers and its users think that a state-of-the-art CFD software can be used to reasonably solve at least single-phase nuclear reactor safety problems, there remain limitations and uncertainties in the calculation result. From a regulatory perspective, the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS) is presently conducting the performance assessment of commercial CFD software for nuclear reactor safety problems. In this study, to examine the prediction performance of commercial CFD software with the porous model in the analysis of the scale-down APR (Advanced Power Reactor Plus) internal flow, a simulation was conducted with the on-board numerical models in ANSYS CFX R.14 and FLUENT R.14. It was concluded that depending on the CFD software, the internal flow distribution of the scale-down APR was locally somewhat different. Although there was a limitation in estimating the prediction performance of the commercial CFD software owing to the limited amount of measured data, CFX R.14 showed more reasonable prediction results in comparison with FLUENT R.14. Meanwhile, owing to the difference in discretization methodology, FLUENT R.14 required more computational memory than CFX R.14 for the same grid system. Therefore, the CFD software suitable to the available computational resource should be selected for massively parallel computations.

Self-potential (SP) is sensitive to groundwater flow and there are many causes to generate SP. Among many mechanisms of SP, pore-fluid flow in porous media can generate potential without any external current source, which is referred to as electrokinetic potential or streaming potential. When calculating SP responses on the surface due to geothermal fluid within an engineered geothermal system (EGS) reservoir, SP anomaly is usually considered to be generated by fluid injection or production within the reservoir. However, SP anomaly can also result from geothermal water fluid within EGS reservoirs experiencing temperature changes between injection and production wells. For more precise simulation of SP responses, we developed an algorithm being able to take account of SP anomalies produced by not only water injection and production but also the fluid of geothermal water, based on three-dimensional finite-element-method employing tetrahedron elements; the developed algorithm can simulate electrical potential responses by both point source and volume source. After verifying the developed algorithm, we assumed a simple geothermal reservoir model and analyzed SP responses caused by geothermal water injection and production. We are going to further analyze SP responses for geothermal water in the presence of water production and injection, considering temperature distribution and geothermal water flow in the following research.

The annular and coaxial swirl flows between which LPG is supplied was selected to study the swirling flames in double co-swirl flows. The objective of this study is to research into the effects of double co-swirl flow conditions on the stability limit, the reverse flow boundary, and the time mean temperature distributions of the swirling flames. The increase of swirl intensity of axial flow makes the stability limit decrease, but the annular swirl flow (SM>0.5) makes stability and swirl intensity of axial flow increase, And the existence of axial swirl flow makes flame intensive and small in size, and this may be applicable to the design of high power compact combustor.

One of the biggest problems in smoke control systems for high-rise buildings is stack effect, but there are no recognized methods or measures to solve the problem of stack effect as yet. The stack effect can be overcome by forming the uprising current inside the stair hall properly, but there is a limit to the height in supplying into the stair hall the smoke control air volume to be supplied to a floor in case of escape from fire. The limit to the height can be extended by over-coming the stack effect by pressurizing the stair hall and the ancillary room simultaneously. It can also be anticipated that the stack effect can be overcome by connecting the air supply shaft to the stair hall at the top. As a result of computer simulations using a network type of tool, it is found that adequate performance can be achieved by pressurizing the stair hall only for a building of 190m or less, and up to 360m when pressurizing the stair hall and the ancillary room simultaneously. In all those cases, however, an overpressure venting damper is required which operates within a suitable range for venting the overpressure outside.
