The problem of non-ideal detonation propagation velocities in heterogeneous hybrid mixtures is studied in the case of a high explosive with suspended fine aluminum (Al) particles. Since there exist difference in the time scales of the characteristic induction and combustion of High Explosives and solid particles, the process of energy release behind the leading shock front occurs over an extended period of time. The problem is analyzed by the theory of the mechanics of multiphase media with mass, momentum and heat exchanges between particles and gases. The numerical results match the available experimental results of heavily aluminized (5~25% Al weight) HMX explosive obtained previously.

The concentration and hydrodynamic radius of nano-sized fluorescence particles diffusing in solution were compared by using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), which can measure the variation of the correlation function of a fluorescence signal by size and number of particles. The used nano-sized fluorescence particles are Alex Fluor 647, quantum dots, and fluorescence beads, and three kinds of sample solutions with different concentrations were prepared by dilution to 1/10 and 1/100 with distilled water for each kind of particles. The effective focal volumes were calculated by using the known diffusion coefficient of Alexa Fluor 647 particles, and the diffusion time, number of particles in focal volume, and variation of concentration according to the dilution could be measured by the FCS system. Through this study, we determined that the concentrations of arbitrarily diluted sample solutions can be measured by a home-built FCS setup in the range of 0.1 nM ~ 10 nM and that the diffusion coefficient of the quantum dot was $27{\pm}1{\mu}m^2/s$.

흔히 진흙으로 대표되는 점착성 유사는 모래와 같은 비점착성 유사와 달리 응집 현상으로 인해 지속적으로 유사 입자의 크기가 변화한다. 응집 현상은 점착성 유사 입자의 응집 과정과 파괴과정으로 구성된다. 응집 현상 중 응집 과정은 유사 입자 간의 충돌로 인해 발생하는 것으로 이해되며, 충돌을 야기하는 메커니즘으로는 브라운 운동(Brownian Motion), 차등침강(Differential Settling), 난류 전단 (Turbulent Flow Shear)이 있다. 파괴 과정은 입자간 충돌로 인해 깨지는 것이 아닌 난류 전단(Turbulent Shear)로 인한 덩어리 분리(Massive Splitting)가 발생하는 것으로 이해한다. 이러한 유체의 특성, 흐름 특성 (난류 거동) 뿐만 아니라 유사 입자의 특성 모두의 영향을 받으며 지속적인 응집 현상을 겪는 점착성 유사 입자들은 하나의 커다란 덩어리인 플럭(Floc)을 형성한다. 형성된 플럭의 구조는 프랙탈 기하학을 따르는 것으로 이해된다. 따라서 플럭의 구조는 자기 유사성을 띠며, 플럭의 밀도는 형성된 플럭 크기의 함수가 된다. 플럭의 크기가 증가할수록 플럭의 프랙탈 차원이 감소하며, 플럭의 밀도는 감소한다. 많은 이전의 연구에서 플럭의 침강 속도를 농도에 따른 함수로 가정하고 경험식을 이용하여 산정하나, 유사 입자의 침강 속도는 크기와 밀도의 함수임을 Stokes Law를 통해 생각해 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 응집 현상의 결과물로 형성된 응집물의 크기와 밀도를 각각 산정하고, Stokes Law를 이용하여 침강 속도와 응집물 크기의 관계에 대한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 보다 심도 있는 연구를 위해서는 응집 현상을 야기하는 메커니즘에 대한 이해가 필수적이다. 간소화된 응집 모형으로부터 얻어진 플럭 크기를 이용하여 프랙탈 차원, 플럭의 밀도를 산정한다. 형성된 응집물의 크기와 침강 속도의 관계에 대한 이해를 통해 보다 정확한 플럭의 침강 속도 산정이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

세굴은 유체와 유사의 상호작용으로 발생하는 중요한 자연 현상 중 하나로, 구조 및 지반 붕괴, 홍수, 생태계 파괴 등의 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 이러한 세굴 현상을 예측하기 위해 많은 수치적 연구가 진행되어왔지만, 대부분의 연구가 기존 격자기반방법인 유한체적법 (FVM)과 개별요소법 (DEM)이 연성된 모델을 이용하였고, 이는 격자 의존도로 인한 정확도와 효율성의 문제점을 보였다. 해결책으로 입자기반 유체해석 방법인 약압축성 SPH (WCSPH)와 개별요소법의 결합모델을 이용한 모의가 연구되어 왔지만, 단순 밀도차를 활용한 유체해석방법이 압력의 불안정성을 야기하여 유사의 운동에도 영향을 주는 결과를 보였다. 또한, 개별요소법의 특성상 모의 입자의 크기를 실제 실험 입자의 크기와 동일하게 설정하면서 입자수가 지나치게 증가해 계산의 효율성이 현저히 낮아지게 되었고, 이로 인해 실제 자연 지형에 적용하는데 어려움을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서는 향상된 세굴 수치모의해석을 위해 반복법을 통해 안정적인 유체 압력을 계산하는 비압축성 SPH (ISPH)와 개별요소법을 연성한 ISPH-DEM 모델을 사용하였다. 또한, 계산속도 향상을 위해 하나의 입자가 다수의 작은 입자의 움직임을 대표하는 Coarse-grained 방법을 적용하여 기존 모델을 개선하였다. 개선된 모델을 NFLOW ISPH PURPLE 소프트웨어를 이용하여 세굴 현상을 수치 모의하였고 실험 결과와 검증을 진행한 결과, 세굴의 깊이, 너비, 형상 등을 비교하였을 때 약 10% 이내의 오차를 보였고, Coarse-grained 방법을 통한 입자 수 감소로 최소 13배 증가된 해석 속도를 보였다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서 제시된 모델이 실제 자연 지형에서의 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) with high degree of hydrolysis of above 98% was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO), and the shear viscosity was measured up to $C{\simeq}0.14\;g/mL$ in the semi-dilute solution regime. Next, as probe particle, polystyrene(PS) latex was introduced into this matrix system and its delayed diffusion due to polymer concentration was investigated by means of dynamic light scattering. When the solution viscosity of PVA/DMSO was plotted against the reduced concentration $C[{\eta}]$, which is scaled by the intrinsic viscosity, the molecular weight dependence was strongly appeared at C$[{\eta}]$ >2. Some heterogeneties in polymer solution were considered as its source. Contrary, the diffusion of probe particle in the matrix solution was observed as a single mode motion at whole concentration range but its ratio of its diffusion coefficient at solution to that at solvent, D/Do did not show any molecular weight dependence at all. However, the application limit of the stretched exponential function was disclosed at C$[{\eta}]$ >2.5.

A three dimensional random walk particle tracking method is applied to the Saemangeum area in order to find stepwise environmental changes according to long term construction. Flow regime around Mangyeong, Dongjin and Geum river estuary changed greatly due to dike construction. It is distinctive that reduction of Byeonsan area's flow field and stagnant change in the northern part of the inner reservoir. Similar characteristics are found through the tidal excursion analysis. By analysis of the vertical mixing structures according to density stratification based on temperature and salinity variation, a salt wedge and very strong stratification arises in the inner part of the reservoir after final closure, while it has been well mixed or partially mixed estuary during construction. Shrinking of horizontal dispersion and vertical mixing capability may cause adverse effect on water quality not only inner part but also outer region of the Saemangeum reservoir.

The results of experimental investigation of coherent structures beneath wind-generated waves in deep water are presented. Vorticity fields of deepwater wind waves were visualized by analyzing the velocity fields obtained by PIV measurements under different wind and fetch conditions. In addition, spatio-temporal evolution of the coherent structures and subsequent changes in vertical profiles of the instantaneous vorticity were qualitatively examined. It was found that a coherent structure is formed right underneath the wave crest and traveled in phase with the surface wave. The direction of rotation of the coherent structure was contrary to the wave orbital motion when wind speed is less than 10 m/s, while was same as the wave orbital motion when wind speed is approximately 13 m/s and wave breaking occurs at the wave crest. In the near-surface region, complex vortex-vortex interactions were observed according to the traveling of the coherent structure. In contrast, coherent structures far below the water surface changed little due to weak influence of orbital motion by the surface waves.

This paper presents the experimental and theoretical results of the dynamic responses of a pendular energy extractor in a two-dimensional wave channel. By adopting a wave maker with varying wave height and period, the dynamic responses of the pendular buoy were experimentally obtained. Furthermore, with the aid of the co-simulation of moving particle analysis and rigid dynamic analysis, the dynamic responses of the pendular system were evaluated. In order to validate the feasibility of the proposed wave power generator, the force tuning of the pendular system with restoring energy was carried out. The results provide proof of concept data for the development and design of a commercial model for horizontal wave power generators in the shoreline area.

In this study, we investigate the dispersion behavior of debris and debris cloud generated by high-velocity impacts using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. The projectile and target plate were made of aluminum, and we confirm the validity of the SPH technique by comparing the measured major and minor axis lengths of the debris cloud in the reference with the predicted values obtained through the SPH analysis. We perform high-velocity impact and fracture analysis based on the verified SPH technique within the velocity ranges of 1.5~4 km/s, and we evaluate the dispersion behavior of debris induced by the impact in terms of its kinetic energy. The maximum dispersion radius of the debris on the witness plates located behind the target plate was increased with increasing impact velocity. We derive an empirical equation that is capable of predicting the dispersion radius, and we found that 95％ of the total kinetic energy of the debris was concentrated within 50％ of the maximum dispersion radius.

This study was investigated the effect of the morphology change of copper (Cu) powders under the different rotational speed and milling time by using three kinds of grinding media with different size and materials, and performed DEM simulations of ball behavior. In order to clarify the mechanism of grinding by three - dimensional simulations of the ball behavior in a traditional ball mill, the force, kinetic energy, and medium velocity of the grinding media were calculated. In the simulation, the amount of change of the input energy was also calculated by adjusting the rotational speed, ball material, kinetic velocity, and friction coefficient in the same as the actual experimental conditions. The scanning electron microscope results show that the particle morphology changes from irregular to spherical when the ball size is small.
