We present an explicit numerical algorithm for surface reconstruction from unorganized points using the Gaussian filter. We construct a surface from unorganized points and solve the modified heat equation coupled with a fidelity term which keeps the given points. We apply the operator splitting method. First, instead of solving the diffusion term, we use the Gaussian filter which has the effect of diffusion. Next, we solve the fidelity term by using the fully implicit scheme. To investigate the proposed algorithm, we perform computational experiments and observe good results.

The methods and performance of a pin-level nuclear reactor core thermal-hydraulics (T/H) code ESCOT employing the drift-flux model are presented. This code aims at providing an accurate yet fast core thermal-hydraulics solution capability to high-fidelity multiphysics core analysis systems targeting massively parallel computing platforms. The four equation drift-flux model is adopted for two-phase calculations, and numerical solutions are obtained by applying the Finite Volume Method (FVM) and the Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equation (SIMPLE)-like algorithm in a staggered grid system. Constitutive models involving turbulent mixing, pressure drop, and vapor generation are employed to simulate key phenomena in subchannel-scale analyses. ESCOT is parallelized by a domain decomposition scheme that involves both radial and axial decomposition to enable highly parallelized execution. The ESCOT solutions are validated through the applications to various experiments which include CNEN $4{\times}4$, Weiss et al. two assemblies, PNNL $2{\times}6$, RPI $2{\times}2$ air-water, and PSBT covering single/two-phase and unheated/heated conditions. The parameters of interest for validation include various flow characteristics such as turbulent mixing, spacer grid pressure drop, cross-flow, reverse flow, buoyancy effect, void drift, and bubble generation. For all the validation tests, ESCOT shows good agreements with measured data in the extent comparable to those of other subchannel-scale codes: COBRA-TF, MATRA and/or CUPID. The execution performance is examined with a mini-sized whole core consisting of 89 fuel assemblies and for an OPR1000 core. It turns out that it is about 1.5 times faster than a subchannel code based on the two-fluid three field model and the axial domain decomposition scheme works as well as the radial one yielding a steady-state solution for the OPR1000 core within 30 s with 104 processors.

In this work the numerical results of the flow around a 5:1 rectangular cylinder at Reynolds numbers 3 000 and 40 000, zero angle of attack and smooth incoming flow condition are presented. Implicit Large Eddy Simulations (ILES) have been performed with a high-order accurate spatial scheme and an implicit high-order accurate time integration method. The spatial approximation is based on a discontinuous Galerkin (dG) method, while the time integration exploits a linearly-implicit Rosenbrock-type Runge-Kutta scheme. The aim of this work is to show the feasibility of high-fidelity flow simulations with a moderate number of DOFs and large time step sizes. Moreover, the effect of different parameters, i.e., dimension of the computational domain, mesh type, grid resolution, boundary conditions, time step size and polynomial approximation, on the results accuracy is investigated. Our best dG result at Re=3 000 perfectly agrees with a reference DNS obtained using Nek5000 and about 40 times more degrees of freedom. The Re=40 000 computations, which are strongly under-resolved, show a reasonable correspondence with the experimental data of Mannini et al. (2017) and the LES of Zhang and Xu (2020).

The characteristic response of a structure to blast load may be divided into two distinctive phases, namely the direct blast response during which the shock wave effect and localized damage take place, and the post-blast phase whereby progressive collapse may occur. A reliable post-blast analysis depends on a sound understanding of the direct blast effect. Because of the complex loading environment and the stress wave effects, the analysis on the direct effect often necessitates a high fidelity numerical model with coupled fluid (air) and solid subdomains. In such a modelling framework, an appropriate representation of the blast load and the high nonlinearity of the material response is a key to a reliable outcome. This paper presents a series of calibration study on these two important modelling considerations in a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian framework using a hydrocode. The calibration of the simulated blast load is carried out for both free air and internal explosions. The simulation of the extreme dynamic response of concrete components is achieved using an advanced concrete damage model in conjunction with an element erosion scheme. Validation simulations are conducted for two representative scenarios; one involves a concrete slab under internal blast, and the other with a RC column under air blast, with a particular focus on the simulation sensitivity to the mesh size and the erosion criterion.

본 우리나라 철도 영업 구간중 철도교량은 2012년 기준 약 25%를 차지한다. 이러한 교량 구조들은 시공 직후부터 열차의 충격하중, 태풍, 선박 및 차량 충돌 등 다양한 하중을 받게 된다. 특히 고속 철도 교량의 경우, 열차의 속도로부터 전가되는 매우 큰 충격하중을 받게 되며, 이러한 교량에 가해지는 충격 응답을 분석하는 것은 교량의 안전성 평가에 매우 중요하다. 최근 무선 센서를 이용해 교량의 건전성을 평가하는 연구들이 주목받고 있다. 무선 센서는 가격 및 설치의 용이성으로 인해 교량의 응답계측에 유용하게 적용되고 있다. 하지만 고속철도 교량에서 발생하는 충격 하중은 그 지속시간이 10초 내외로 매우 짧게 발생하므로, 기존 무선 센서의 시스템의 자체 실행 후 시간 지연으로 인해, 이러한 충격하중의 계측은 매우 어렵게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 철도 교량의 충격하중에 의한 구조물의 응답을 계측하기 위한 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 프레임워크를 제안한다. 구체적으로 1) 초저전력 가속도계를 이용한 구조물의 과도응답 감지 및 평가, 2) 무선 센서 네트워크의 트리거링 후 계측이 시작되는 지연 시간의 단축, 그리고 네트워크의 시간 및 데이터 동기화 기법을 개발하였다. 최종적으로 제안된 프레임 워크에서 소수의 진동 감지 센서 노드들이 상시진동을 계측하며, 열차의 진입으로 인한 진동이 감지될 시, 전체 센서 네트워크의 계측을 시작한다. 시간 지연을 최소화하기 위해 모든 센서는 다른 시작시간을 가지며, 이를 제어하기 위해 후처리 기반 시간 동기화를 한다. 제안된 프레임워크는 실내실험 및 수치해석을 통해 그 효용성을 입증하였다.
