In this paper, 3-D reciprocating compressor is taken into flow-structure interaction analysis. The full cycle process consisted of cylinder expansion and compression has been modeled without considering flow leakage through cylinder wall. Fully-coupled FSI analysis of this compressor model was iteratively solved and gives sufficient result with the experimental test. The study is emphasized to thoroughly investigate discharge valve motion, opening and closing, in order to determine discharge valve region which is prone to have high effective stress. The cylinder pressure is successfully validated before conducting impact analyses between discharge valve and other susceptible supported structure. Velocity profile has been obtained in FSI analysis is used as initial condition to carry out further impact analyses. Stress result of discharge valve and valve spring gives preliminary estimation of higher stress area due to its impact phenomena.

Mechanical loading to bone cells using simple sine wave or constant wave fluid flow has been widely used for in vitro experiments. Human gait is characterized by a complex loading to bones of lower extremities which results from a series of events consisting of heel strike, foot flat and push-off during the stance phase of the gait cycle. Telemetric force analyses have shown that human femora are subject to multiphasic loading. Therefore, it would be ideal if the physiologic loading conditions during human walking can be used for in vitro mechanotransduction studies. Here, for a mechanotransduction study, we develop it fluid flow system (FFS) in order to simulate human physiologic mechanicalloading on bone cells. The development methods of the FFS including the COR (Center for Orthopedic Research), monitor program are presented. The FFS could generate various multiphasic loading conditions of human gaits with output flow. Wall shear distribution was very uniform, with 81 % of the effective loading area of the culture on a glass slide. Our results demonstrated that the FFS, provide a new translational approach for unveiling molecular mechanotransduction pathways in bone cells.

In 3D ultrasound color Doppler imaging (CDI), 8-16 pulse transmissions (ensembles) per each scanline are used for effective clutter rejection and flow estimation, but it yields a low volume acquisition rate. In this paper, we have evaluated three flow estimation methods: autoregression (AR), eigendecomposition (ED), and autocorrelation combined with adaptive clutter rejection (AC-ACR) for a small ensemble size (E=4). The performance of AR, ED and AC-ACR methods was compared using 2D and 3D in vivo data acquired under different clutter conditions (common carotid artery, kidney and liver). To evaluate the effectiveness of three methods, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated. For 2D kidney in vivo data, the AC-ACR method outperforms the AR and ED methods in terms of the area under the ROC curve (AUC) (0.852 vs. 0.793 and 0.813, respectively). Similarly, the AC-ACR method shows higher AUC values for 2D liver in vivo data compared to the AR and ED methods (0.855 vs. 0.807 and 0.823, respectively). For the common carotid artery data, the AR provides higher AUC values, but it suffers from biased estimates. For 3D in vivo data acquired from a kidney transplant patient, the AC-ACR with E=4 provides an AUC value of 0.799. These in vivo experiment results indicate that the AC-ACR method can provide more robust flow estimates compared to the AR and ED methods with a small ensemble size.

Feedwater heaters of many nuclear power plants have recently experienced severe wall thinning damage, which will increase as operating time progresses. Several nuclear power plants in Korea have experienced wall thinning damage in the area around the impingement baffle inside feedwater heater installed downstream of the turbine extraction stream line. At that point, the extract steam from the turbine is two phase fluid at high temperature, high pressure, and high speed. Since it flows to reverse direction after impinging the impingement baffle, the shell wall of feedwater heaters may be affected by flow-accelerated corrosion. In this paper, to compare degree of shell wall thinning mitigation rate to squared type with mitigation rate of other type baffle plate, four different types of impingement baffle plate-squared, curved, mitigating type and multi-hole type-applied inside the shell. With these comparison data, this paper describes operation of experiments and numerical analysis which is composed similar condition with real feed water heater. And flow visualization is operated for verification of experiments and numerical analysis. In conclusion, this study shows that mitigating type and multi-hole type baffle plate are more effective than other baffle plate about prevention of pressure concentration and pressure value decrease.

Urban sewer systems are designed to operate in open-channel flow regime and energy loss at square manholes is usually not significant. However, the energy loss at surcharged manholes is considered as one of the major causes of inundation in urban area. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the head loss associated with manholes, especially in surcharged flow. Hydraulic experimental apparatus which can change the manhole inner profile(CASE I, II, III, and IV) and the invert types(CASE A, B, C) were installed for this study. The experimental discharge was $16{\ell}/sec$. As the ratio of b/D(manhole width/inflow pipe diameter) increases, head loss coefficient increases due to strong horizontal swirl motion. The head loss coefficients for CASE I, II, III, and IV were 0.46, 0.38, 0.28 and 0.37, respectively. Side covers increase considerably drainage capacity at surcharged square manhole when the ratio of d/D(side cover diameter/inflow pipe diameter) was 1.0. The head loss coefficients for CASE A, B, and C were 0.45, 0.37, and 0.30, respectively. Accordingly, U-invert is the most effective for energy loss reduction at surcharged square manhole. This head loss coefficients could be available to evaluate the urban sewer system with surcharged flow.

This study investigated the transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in a free-water surface flow constructed wetland. Pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) coupled with preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC) was used to analyze the compositions of biopolymers (polysaccharides, amino sugars, proteins, polyhydroxy aromatics, lipids and lignin) in DOM according to the molecular size at three sampling points of the water flow: inflow, midflow, and outflow. The prep-HPLC results verified the decomposition of DOM through the decrease in the number of peaks from three to one in the chromatograms of the sampling points. The Py-GC/MS results for the degradable peaks indicated that biopolymers relating to polysaccharides and proteins gradually biodegraded with the water flow. On the other hand, the recalcitrant organic fraction (the remaining peak) in the outflow showed a relatively high concentration of aromatic compounds. Therefore, the ecological processes in the constructed wetland caused DOM to become more aromatic and homogeneous. This indicated that the constructed wetland can be an effective buffer area for releasing biochemically stable DOM, which has less influence on biological water quality indicators, e.g., biochemical oxygen demand, into an aquatic ecosystem.

Ventilation of the marine engine room is very important for the health of the workers as well as the normal operation of machines. To find proper ventilation conditions of this engine room, numerical simulation with standard k-${\epsilon}$ model was carried out. In the present study, the marine engine room is separated to two floors with porus horizontal partition and considered as a closed space with a heat source and forced ventilation ducts. The porosity of horizontal partition is found to be important. For the engine room with 2 supply ports & 2 exhaust ports, the increasing of the porosity of horizontal partition is effective to reduce the recirculation flow zone in the second floor. When the engine room is ventilated with three supply air ports & one exhaust port, the increasing of the porosity of horizontal partition is effective to reduce the recirculating flow zone in the exhaust air area, but there is a possibility of local extreme heating at the lower side of engine near bottom.

As the water-cycle is transformed by increasing of the impermeable area in process of urbanization, decentralized rainwater management facilities(infiltration, harvesting and retention facilities) as source control are considered to be a method of restoring water-cycle of urban and reducing runoff. SWMM model was used to analyse the change of water-cycle structure before and after development in A new town watershed. Modified SWMM code was developed to apply infiltration facilities. The modified SWMM was used to analyse the change of water-cycle before and after infiltration trench setup in AJ subcatchment. Changes of the impervious area by development and consequent increase in runoff were analyzed. These analyses were performed by a day rainfall during ten years from 1998 to 2007. According to the results, surface runoff increased from 51.85% to 65.25 %, and total infiltration volume decreased from 34.15 % to 21.08 % in A newtown watershed. If more than 80 infiltration trenches are constructed in AJ subcatchment, the low flow and the drought flow increases by around 47%, 44%, separately. The results of this study, infiltration trench is interpreted to be an effective infiltration facility to restore water-cycle in new town.

A CFD simulation of airflow and temperature field in a heated room has been described in this paper. The thermal wall jet created by a radiator greatly influences the airflow pattern, temperature distribution. The area close La a heat source has a higher risk of air-borne contamination and imposes a harmful effect on occupants in that area. The predicted flow field, temperature results show good agreement with the measured data. As the results were compared with experimental data, the applicability of CFD was satisfactorily verified. Also, the CFD simulation can capture the natural convective flow features. If a CFD simulation is applied ventilation design with a heat source, An effective design will be attained. Further study is required to improve the accuracy of CFD simulation.

육상구조물의 대형화재는 특수한 소방장비와 그에 적합한 방법에 의해서 소방관에 의해서 진압된다. 하지만 해양구조물은 육상으로부터 어떠한 도움없이 승무원에 의해서 진압되고 이들은 선박의 구조적 특성과 선박의 충돌 및 화재와 같은 여러 가지 원인에 의하여 신속한 탈출이 어렵다. 일반적으로 화재에 의한 인명손상의 경우에는 연기에 의한 질식사가 대부분을 차지하므로 탈출 시간의 단축은 생존율을 향상에 아주 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 화재 분석 전용 프로그램인 FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulator)를 이용하여 화재 발생 시 승무원 생존율 분석을 위한 거주 공간내의 온도 및 연기유동에 의한 가시거리를 분석한다. 기존의 선박은 화재 경보 발령 시 방화문이 자동으로 폐쇄되도록 설계되어 있다. 이는 화재가 발생한 구역에 승무원이 없을 경우에는 화재의 확산 및 연기의 유동 지연에 아주 효과적이다. 그러나 대피시간이 지연될 경우에는 방화문 안쪽에 위치한 승무원들에게는 치명적일 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 화재로 인해 방화문이 폐쇄되어 승무원들이 이 방화문을 열고 탈출하는 경우와 연구에서 제안하는 차단막을 설치했을 경우의 화재 구역의 온도상승 및 연기유동 속도를 비교 분석한다.
