A model predictive controller is designed to control thermal power in a nuclear reactor. The basic concept of the model predictive control is to solve an optimization problem for finite future time steps at current time, to implement only the first optimal control input among the solved control inputs, and to repeat the procedure at each subsequent instant. A controller design model used for designing the model predictive controller is estimated every time step by applying a recursive parameter estimation algorithm. A 3-dimensional nuclear reactor analysis code, MASTER that was developed by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), was used to verify the proposed controller for a nuclear reactor. It was known that the nuclear power controlled by the proposed controller well tracks the desired power level and the desired axial power distribution.

본 연구에서는 MCNPX 코드를 사용하여 6 MeV 전자선의 에너지분포를 계산하였다. 이를 위하여 선형가속기(ML6M; Mitsubishi, Japan)의 헤드를 모델화하였다. 전자선의 초기에너지 분포는 가우시안으로 가정하였으며, 이 때 평균에너지는 측정과 계산으로 구한 $R_{50}$과 공기중 선량프로 파일을 평가하여 결정하였다. 결정된 빔 변수를 적용하여 선형가속기 헤드속 주요 위치에서의 전자선 에너지분포를 계산하였다. 어플리케이터 출구에서의 광자에 대한 에너지분포를 이용하여 깊이선량률에서 오염광자의 영향을 분석하였다.

The three main physiological functions of nose are air-conditioning, filtering and smelling. Knowledge of airflow characteristics in nasal cavities is essential to understand the physiological and pathological aspects of nasal breathing. Several studies have utilized physical models of the healthy nasal cavity to investigate the relationship between nasal anatomy and airflow. In our laboratory, there have been a series of experimental investigations on the nasal airflow in normal and deformed nasal cavity models by PIV under both constant and periodic flow conditions. In this time, airflow inside normal nasal cavity is investigated numerically by the FVM general purpose code. The comparisons with PIV measurement are appreciated. Heat and humidity transfer is dealt numerically. Dense CT data and careful treatment of model surface under the ENT doctor’s advice provide more sophisticated cavity models for both PIV experiment and numerical grid system. Average and RMS velocity distributions have been obtained for inspirational and expirational nasal. Temperature distribution, heat and humidity transfer through the mucosa are obtained.

To reduce the damage from the coastal disaster such as typhoon and tsunami, a possible option is the eco-friendly approach to minimize the destruction of ecological system. One of feasible idea is the forest for damage prevention artificially arranged along the beach. To understand a precise physics on the flow before and after the forest, we use a CFD method. In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical model has been constructed based on tree cases in a real forest located at Byin-myeon, Seocheon-gun, Chungnam. The CFD computation using a commercial code COMSOL multiphysics is performed for the distribution of real spatial coordinate of each tree. Through this investigation, the CFD techniques are shown to be applied to the research of forest composition plan. The physics in the regime from laminar to turbulent flow is qualitatively explained, and the obtained data are compared one another quantitatively.

This study reports numerically the characteristics of dust scattering around the coal storage pile yards, substantially affected by the windbreak wall height. The dust scattering is closely associated with the frictional effect of wind flows as well as the pressure variation that consequently affect the dust particle behavior. In the present study, with the use of the commercial code of FLUENT, the distribution of wind velocity and pressure are predicted around coal storage pile yard for four different heights of the wind break wall. From the results, it was found that for the case 1 with the outer windbreak wall height of 3 m and inner windbreak wall height of 6 m, the amount of scattering dust for a year was estimated to be 1451 kg, whereas for the case 4 where a height of outer windbreak wall is 10 m and a height of inner windbreak wall is 16 m, the amount of scattering dust for a year was 358 kg. It shows that the dust scattering can be reduced by 75%, indicating important role of windbreak wall height on particle scattering. The numerical results would be useful in decision of the appropriate height of windbreak wall for decreasing the amount of scattering dust under various environmental conditions.

The objective of present study is to assess the performance of the first stage compressor in a total 3-stage 5000 HP-level turbo compressor. CFD commercial code, CFX has been used to predict three-dimensional flow characteristics inside of the impeller. Shear Stress Transport (SST) model has been used to simulate turbulent flows through Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. Grid dependency has been also checked to get optimal grid distribution. Numerical results have been compared with the experimental test results to elucidate performance characteristics of the present compressor. In addition, flow characteristics of the impeller only have been studied for various blade configurations. Angular offset in leading edge of the blade has been selected for the optimal blade design. Performance characteristics in region of low mass flow rate and high pressure ratio between the impeller entrance and exit have been investigated for the selection of optimal blade design. Also, flow instability such as stall phenomena has been studied and anti-stall characteristics have been checked for various blade configurations in the operational window.

The present numerical study was performed to determine how the two perforated baffles( Inclined angle=$5^{\circ}$; perforation diameter=2cm) placed at a rectangular duct affect heat transfer and associated friction factors. The parametric effects of perforated baffles(3, 6 and 12 holes) and flow Reynolds number ranging from 28,900 to 61,000 on the heated target surface are explored. As for the investigation of heat transfer behaviours on the local Nusselt number with two baffles placed at $x/D_h=0.8$ and $x/D_h=0.8$ of the edge baffles, it is evident that the average Nusselt number increases with increasing number of holes, but the friction factor decreases with an increase in the hole number placed at baffles. The numerical results by commercial code CFX 10.0 are confirmed with the experimental data.

연안대수층은 주요한 지하수 공급원으로서 이용될 수 있다. 그러나 연안대수층의 개발은 해수침투에 의한 대수층 오염을 야기할 수도 있다. 이에 따라 개발과정에서는 적절한 양수량과 양수정의 배치가 매우 중요하고, 이 들의 영향은 용질이동과 유동해석이 가능한 수치해석적 기법들을 적용하여 평가할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 연안 자유면 대수층 모델에 대해 양수량 및 수리지질학적 변수들이 해수침투 특성에 미치는 영향을 SWICHA 코드를 이용하여 수치해석적으로 검토하였다. 수치해석과정에서는 유동 및 용질의 상호작용이 고려되었다. 경계 조건, 수리지질변수 등의 변화에 따른 해수담수 경계부에서의 염수 확산대 분포, 양수정 부근에서의 수두변화 등이 분석되었다.

There have been many academic researches on the aerodynamic design of wind turbine based on blade element method (BEM) and momentum theory (MT, or actuating disk theory). However, in the real world, the turbine blade design requires many additional constraints more than theoretical analysis. The standard procedure is studied in the present paper to design new blades for the wind turbine system ranged from the small size from 1 to 10 kW. From the experience of full design of a 10 kW blade, the authors tried to set up a standard procedure for the aerodynamic design based on IEC 61400-2. Wind-turbine scale, rotating speed, and geometrical chord/twist distribution at the segmented span positions are calculated with a suitable BEM/MT code, and the geometrical shape of tip and root should be modified after considering various parameters: wing-tip vortex, aerodynamic noise, turbine efficiency, structural safety, convenience of fabrication, and even economic factor likes price, etc. The evaluated data is passed to the next procedure of structural design, but some of them should still be corresponded with each other: the fluid-structure interaction is one of those problems not yet solved, for example. Consequently, the design procedure of small wind-turbine blades is set up for the mass production of commercial products in this research.

복합추진장치가 포함된 경우와 포함되지 않은 경우의 축대칭 물체 주위 유동특성을 조사하기 위한 실험적 수치적 연구가 수행되었다. 축대칭 물체주위 유동특성 파악을 위해 선박해양공학연구센터의 캐비테이션 터널에서 표면압력분포와 LDV 장치를 이용한 주위유속분포 계측 시험이 우선적으로 이루어졌으며, 비압축성 RANS 방정식을 유한체적법으로 해석하는 수치적 방법이 표준 k-${\varepsilon}$ 난류모형을 이용하여 수행되었다. 선체와 프로펠러 상호작용은 양력면이론에 의하여 계산된 유기속도를 프로펠러 면에 분포하여 경계조건으로 처리하는 방법을 택하였다. 추진장치의 여러 가지 배열변화에 따른 실험적 결과를 기반으로 타당한 수치적 방법이 개발될 수 있다고 생각된다.
