High-power pulsed laser ablation under atmospheric pressure is studied utilizing numerical and experimental methods with emphasis on recondensation ratio, and the dynamics of the laser induced vapor flow. In the numerical calculation, the temperature pressure, density and vaporization flux on a solid substrate are first obtained by a heat-transfer computation code based on the enthalpy method, and then the plume dynamics is calculated by using a commercial CFD package. To confirm the computation results, the probe beam deflection technique was utilized for measuring the propagation of a laser induced shock wave. Discontinuities of properties and velocity over the Knudsen layer were investigated. Related with the analysis of the jump condition, the effect of the recondesation ratio on the plume dynamics was examined by comparing the pressure, density, and mass fraction of ablated aluminum vapor. To consider the effect of mass transfer between the ablation plume and air, unlike the most previous investigations, the equation of species conservation is simultaneously solved with the Euler equations. Therefore the numerical model computes not only the propagation of the shock front but also the distribution of the aluminum vapor. To our knowledge, this is the first work that employed a commercial CFD code in the calculation of pulsed ablation phenomena.

We investigate the morphology of Active Galactic Nuclei(AGN) jets. AGN jets propagate over kpc $\~$ Mpc and their beam velocities are close to the speed of light. The reason why many jets propagate over so long a distance and sustain a very collimated structure is not well understood. It is argued that some dimensionless parameters, the density and the pressure ratio of the jet beam and the ambient gas, the Mach number of the beam, and relative speed of the beam compared to the speed of light, are very useful to understand the morphology of jets namely, bow shocks, cocoons, nodes etc. The role of each parameters has been studied by numerical simulations. But more research is necessary to understand it systematically. We have developed 2D relativistic hydrodynamic code to analyze relativistic jets. We pay attention to the propagation velocity which is derived from 1D momentum balance in the frame of the working surface. We show some of our models and discuss the dependence of the morphology of jets on the parameter.

The model experiments, which employ a charge hole and guide hole, are simulated to examine the effect of the guide hole on the crack propagation control in blasting. Crack patterns resulted from the analysis models, which consider the distance between the charge hole and guide hole, were compared. From the simulation analysis for the model experiments, it was revealed that all the guide holes used in this study were effective for controlling the crack propagation in blasting.

Hydrogen safety is one of important issues for future public usage of hydrogen. When hydrogen is released in a compartment, the occurrence of detonation must be prohibited. In order to evaluate the possibility of DDT (Deflagration to Detonation Transition) in the compartment with the hydrogen release, sigma-lambda criteria which were developed from experimental data are commonly used. But they give a little conservative results because they do not consider the detailed geometrical effect of the compartment. This is the main reason of the need to mechanistic combustion model for evaluation of hydrogen flame propagation and acceleration. In this study, sigma-lambda criteria and combustion model were systematically applied to evaluate a possibility of DDT in a IRWST compartment of APR1400 nuclear power plant during a hypothetical accident. A combustion model in an open source CFD code OpenFOAM has been applied for analyses of hydrogen flame propagation. The model was validated by evaluating the flame acceleration tests conducted in FLAME facility. And it was applied to evaluate the characteristics of a hydrogen flame propagation in the IRWST compartment of APR1400.

In this paper, crack propagation analyses in the inner diameter (ID) repair weld of the dissimilar metal weldment of a nozzle were performed using a finite element alternating method (FEAM). To calculate the theoretical solution for the crack tip stress intensity factor, a weak type singular integral equation consisted of crack surface traction and dislocation density function was constructed and solved in conjunction with the FEAM. A two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element nozzle model was prepared and ID repair welding was simulated. An initial crack, 10% depth of weld thickness, was assumed and crack propagation trajectory from the initial crack to the 75% depth of thickness was calculated using the FEAM. Crack growth versus time curve was also calculated and compared with the curves obtained from ASME code method. With the method constructed in this paper, crack propagation trajectory and crack growth time were calculated automatically and effectively.

The bedding plane has a significant influence on the effect of blasting fragmentation and the overall performance of underground mining. This paper explores the effects of fragmentation of the bedding plane and different angles by using the numerical analysis. ANSYS/LS-DYNA code was used for the implementation of the models. The models include a dynamic compressive and tensile failure which is applied to simulate the fractures generated by the explosion. Firstly, the cracks propagation with the non-bedding plane in the coal with two boreholes detonated simultaneously is calculated and the particle velocity and maximum principal stress at different points from the borehole are also discussed. Secondly, different delay times between the two boreholes are calculated to explore its effects on the propagation of the fractures. The results indicate that the coal around the right borehole is broken more fully and the range of the cracks propagation expanded with the delay time increases. The peak particle velocity decreases first and then increases with the distance from the right borehole increasing. Thirdly, different angles between the bedding plane and the centerline of the two boreholes and the transmission coefficient of stress wave at a bedding plane are considered. The results indicated that with the angles increase, the number of the fractures decreases while the transmission coefficient increases.

For the analysis of a two-phase flow, the interaction between two phases such as the interfacial momentum or heat transfer is proportional to the interfacial area. So the interfacial area concentration (IAC) is one of the most important parameters governing the behavior of each phase. This study focuses on the development of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code for investigating a boiling flow with a one-group IAC transport equation. It was based on the two-fluid model and governing equations were calculated by SMAC algorithm. For checking the robustness of the developed code, the experiment of a subcooled boiling in a vertical annulus channel was analyzed to validate the capability of the IAC transport equation. As the results, the developed code was confirmed to have the capability in predicting multi-dimensional phenomena of vapor generation and propagation in a subcooled boiling.

The research domain of underwater communication has garnered much interest among researchers exploring underwater activities. The underwater environment differs from the terrestrial setting. Some of the main challenges in underwater communication are limited bandwidth, low data rate, propagation delay, and high bit error rate (BER). As such, this study assessed the underwater acoustic (UWA) aspect and explored the expression of error performance based on t-distribution noise. Filter orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing refers to a new waveform candidate that has been adopted in UWA, along with turbo and polar codes. The empirical outcomes demonstrated that the noise did not adhere to Gaussian distribution, whereas the simulation results revealed that the filter applied in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing could significantly suppress out-of-band emission. Additionally, the performance of the turbo code was superior to that of the polar code by 2 dB at BER 10-3.

본 논문은 그림 1과 같은 네트워크 환경에서 두 송신단이 LT code를 오류정정 부호로 사용할 때, 두 송신단이 생성하는 인코딩 심볼과 수신단이 수신하는 인코딩 심볼들의 degree distribution의 관계에 대해 다룬다. LT code를 복호하기 위해 belief propagation 방법을 사용했을 때, 수신단이 받은 인코딩 심볼들의 degree distribution은 robust soliton distribution(RSD)을 따를 때, overhead 대비 가장 높은 확률로 복호에 성공한다. 하지만 그림 1과 같은 네트워크 환경에서, 두 송신단 모두 RSD에 따라 인코딩 심볼을 생성하여 송신하면, 수신단에서 수신한 심볼은 RSD를 따르지 않는다. 본 논문은 한 송신단($S_1$) 이 생성하는 인코딩 심볼의 degree distribution을 알 때, 수신단에서의 인코딩 심볼의 분포가 근사적으로 RSD를 따르도록 하는 또 다른 송신단($S_2$)에서의 degree distribution을 구하는 방법을 제시한다.

In this paper, ranging code collision probability and ranging period which are two important performance measures for code division multiple access (CDMA)-type ranging in wireless broadband (WiBro) system are mathematically derived. Based on the analysis, the appropriate ranging management solution for maintaining the ranging collision probability below a certain threshold level and correctly recognizing the transmitted ranging code against propagation delay is obtained in terms of the number of ranging codes, the number of ranging regions, and ranging period. In this analysis, user mobility features such as speed and moving direction are also considered.
