The phenomena of two-phase suspension flows appear widely in nature and industrial processes. Hence, it is of great importance to understand the mechanism of the gas-solid two-phase flows. In the present study, the numerical simulation has been approached by utilizing the Eulerian-Lagrangian methodology for describing the characteristics of the fluid and particulate phases in a vertical pipe and a 90°square-sectioned bend. The continuous phase(gas phase) is described by the Eulerian formulation and a κ-ε turbulence model is employed to find mean and turbulent properties of the gas phase. The particle properties(velocity and trajectory) are then described by a Lagrangian approach and computed using the mean velocity and turbulent fluctuating velocity of the gas phase. The predictions are compared with measurements by laser-Doppler velocimeter for the validation. As a result, the calculated results show good agreements.

A hypothetical core destructive accident (HCDA) has received widespread attention as one of the most serious accidents in sodium-cooled fast reactors. This study combined recent advantages in numerical methods to realize realistic modeling of the complex fluid-structure interactions during HCDAs in a full-scale sodium-cooled fast reactor. The multi-material arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method is used to describe the fluid-structure interactions inside the container. Both the structural deformations and plug rises occurring during HCDAs are evaluated. Two levels of expansion energy are considered with two different reactor models. The simulation results show that the container remains intact during an accident with small deformations. The plug on the top of the container rises to an acceptable level after the sealing between the it and its support is destroyed. The methodology established in this study provides a reliable approach for evaluating the safety feature of a container design.

개단말뚝은 폐색정도에 따라 지지력이 다르게 나타나므로 개단말뚝 설계시 폐색효과를 고려하여야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대변형 수치해석 기법 중 하나인 Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian(CEL) 기법을 이용하여 말뚝의 항타 관입을 모사하여 사질토, 점성토 지반조건, 단일 지반의 탄성계수, 말뚝 선단지지 조건, 다층지반 조건에 대한 영향 분석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 사질토 지반에서 점성토 지반보다 폐색정도가 큰 것으로 확인되었고, 사질토의 경우 지반의 강성이 클수록 폐색정도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝 선단이 지지층에 근입된 경우, 그렇지 않은 경우보다 정지토압계수가 크게 나타나 폐색정도가 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 지반의 배열이 이질층인 경우 지반강성에 따라 정지토압계수가 다르게 결정됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 지반조건, 지층 등에 따라 정지토압계수를 다르게 적용하여 관내 내부마찰력을 산정할 필요가 있으며 이를 반영한 합리적인 지지력 산정을 할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

An Eulerian-Lagrangian hybrid modeling system to analyze physical and chemical processes during the transport of air parcels was developed. The Backward-tracking Model Analyzer (BMA) was designed to take advantages of both Eulerian and Lagrangian modeling approaches. Simulated trajectories from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration HYSPLIT model were combined with the US Environmental Protection Agency Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ)-simulated concentrations and additional diagnostic analyses. In this study, we first introduced a generalized methodology to seamlessly match polylines (HYSPLIT) and threedimensional polygons (CMAQ), which enables mass-conservative analyses of physio-chemical processes of transporting air parcels. Two applications of the BMA were conducted: (1) a long-range transport case of pollutant plume across the Yellow Sea using CMAQ Integrated Process Rate analyses, and (2) a domestic circulation of pollutants within (and near) the South Korea based on the sulfate tracking analyzer. The first episode demonstrated a secondary formation of nitrate and ammonium during the transport over the Yellow Sea while sulfate is mostly transported after being formed over the China, and the second episode demonstrated a dominant impact of boundary condition with active sulfate formation from gas-phase oxidation near the Seoul Metropolitan Area.

This paper presents a new approach to simulate fluid-solid interaction problems involving non-matching interfaces. The coupling between fluid and solid domains with dissimilar finite element meshes consisting of 4-node quadrilateral elements is achieved by using the interface element method (IEM). Conditions of compatibility between fluid and solid meshes are satisfied exactly by introducing the interface elements defined on interfacing regions. Importantly, a consistent transfer of loads through matching interface element meshes guarantees the present method to be an efficient approach of the solution strategy to fluid-solid interaction problems. An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) description is adopted for the fluid domain, while for the solid domain an updated Lagrangian formulation is considered to accommodate finite deformations of an elastic structure. The stabilized equal order velocity-pressure elements for incompressible flows are used in the motion of fluids. Fully coupled equations are solved simultaneously in a single computational domain. Numerical results are presented for fluid-solid interaction problems involving nonmatching interfaces to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology.

In the present study, the structural response of breakwaters installed on container carriers against green water impact loads was numerically investigated on the basis of the fluid-structure interaction analysis. A series of numerical studies is carried out to induce breakwater collapse under such conditions, whereby a widely accepted fluid-structure interaction analysis technique is adopted to realistically consider the phenomenon of green water impact loads. In addition, the structural behaviour of these breakwaters under green water impact loads is investigated simultaneously throughout the transient analysis. A verification study of the numerical results is performed using data from actual collapse incidents of breakwaters on container carriers. On the basis of the results of a series of numerical analyses, the pressure distribution of green water was accurately predicted with respect to wave mass and velocity. It is expected that the proposed analytical methodology and predicted pressure distribution could be used as a practical guideline for the design of breakwaters on container carriers.

본 논문은 명시적 유한요소 해석을 이용하여 군함이나 수상함 아래의 수중에서 어뢰가 폭발할 때의 파편들의 거동을 조사하기 위하여 작성되었다. 본 연구에서는 LS-DYNA에서 라그랑주-오일러 (ALE) 접근법이라 불리는 유체-구조물 상호작용(FSI) 기법을 적용하여 어뢰파편과 선체의 응답을 관찰하였다. 오일러 모델은 공기, 물, 폭약으로 구성되며, 라그랑주 모델은 파편과 선체로 이루어져 있다. 본 모델링의 핵심은 최악파편이 어뢰로부터 가까운 곳(4.5 m)에 위치한 선체에 파공을 일으킬 수 있는지 여부를 파악하는 데 있다. 시뮬레이션은 별도의 두 단계로 수행되었다. 첫 번째의 예비해석에서는 팽창하는 어뢰의 외피가 찢어지는 데 폭약에너지의 30%가 소모된다는 가정 하에 수중폭발 시의 파편속도에 대해 잘 알려져 있는 실험결과를 토대로 최악파편의 초기속도를 결정하였다. 두 번째의 총괄해석에서는 최악파편이 선체에 부딪치기 직전에 보일 것으로 예상되는 파편의 종단속도를 찾고자 하였다. 그 결과, 주어진 조건 하에서 최악파편의 초기속도는 매우 빠른 것으로 나타났다(400 및 1000 m/s). 하지만 충돌이 발생할 때의 파편과 선체 간의 속도차이는 불과 4 m/s 정도로 매우 작았다. 이 결과는 물에 의한 큰 항력의 영향도 있지만 선체에 부여한 비파괴 조건도 영향을 끼쳤을 것으로 보인다. 하지만 적어도 본 논문에서 가정한 해석조건 하에서는 최악파편의 느린 상대속도로 인하여 선체에 파공이 발생하기는 어려운 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents a fully coupled three-dimensional solver for the analysis of interaction between pulsatile flow and large deformation structure. A partitioned time marching algorithm is employed for the solution of the time dependent coupled discretised problem, enabling the use of highly developed, robust and well-tested solvers for each field. Conservative transfer of information at the fluid-structure interface is combined with an effective multi-predict-correct iterative scheme to enable implicit coupling of the interacting fields at each time increment. The three-dimensional unsteady incompressible fluid is solved using a powerful implicit time stepping technique and an ALE formulation for moving boundaries with second-order time accurate is used. A full spectrum of total variational diminishing (TVD) schemes in unstructured grids is allowed implementation for the advection terms and finite element shape functions are used to evaluate the solution and its variation within mesh elements. A finite element dynamic analysis of the highly deformable structure is carried out with a numerical strategy combining the implicit Newmark time integration algorithm with a Newton-Raphson second-order optimisation method. The proposed model is used to predict the wave flow fields of a particular flow-induced vibrational phenomenon, and comparison of the numerical results with available experimental data validates the methodology and assesses its accuracy. Another test case about three-dimensional biomedical model with pulsatile inflow is presented to benchmark the algorithm and to demonstrate the potential applications of this method.

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are crucial in building structures and they are of higher vulnerability to terrorist threat than any other structural elements. Thus it is of great interest and necessity to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the possible responses of RC columns when exposed to high intensive blast loads. The primary objective of this study is to derive analytical formulas to assess vulnerability of RC columns using an advanced numerical modelling approach. This investigation is necessary as the effect of blast loads would be minimal to the RC structure if the explosive charge is located at the safe standoff distance from the main columns in the building and therefore minimizes the chance of disastrous collapse of the RC columns. In the current research, finite element model is developed for RC columns using LS-DYNA program that includes a comprehensive discussion of the material models, element formulation, boundary condition and loading methods. Numerical model is validated to aid in the study of RC column testing against the explosion field test results. Residual capacity of RC column is selected as damage criteria. Intensive investigations using Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) methodology are then implemented to evaluate the influence of scaled distance, column dimension, concrete and steel reinforcement properties and axial load index on the vulnerability of RC columns. The generated empirical formulae can be used by the designers to predict a damage degree of new column design when consider explosive loads. With an extensive knowledge on the vulnerability assessment of RC structures under blast explosion, advancement to the convention design of structural elements can be achieved to improve the column survivability, while reducing the lethality of explosive attack and in turn providing a safer environment for the public.
