In this paper, making the best use of the features of the electro-rheological (ER) valve, a two-port pressure control valve using ER fluids is proposed and manufactured. The ER-Valve characteristics are evaluated by changing the intensity of the electric field and the number of electrode. As only with electrical signal change to the ER-Valve in which ER fluid flowing, ER fluid flow is controlled, so development of simple ER-Valves have been tried. The ER-Valves and pressure drop check method are considered to be applied to the fluid power industry. Using the manufactured pressure control valve, a one-link manipulator with FHA (Flexible Hydraulic Actuator) is driven. As a result, it is experimentally confirmed that the pressure control valve using ER fluids is applicable to use in driving actuator. If it applies characteristics of the ER fluids, it will be able to apply in the control system for the ER Valve which occurs from industrial controller. After having durability test, shear stress increased regularly because of starch particles crushed by pump and particle size that was almost the same. Moreover, Ra of copper electrode increased about 1.56 times rather than before those of performing durability test, and Rz increased about 2.2 times.

This paper presents the details of indigenous development of the piezovibrocone and calibration chamber. The developed cone has a cylindrical friction sleeve of $150cm^2$ surface area, capped with a $60^{\circ}$ apex angle conical tip of $15cm^2$ cross sectional area. It has a hydraulic shaker, coupled to the cone penetrometer with a linear displacement unit. The hydraulic shaker can produce cyclic load in different types of wave forms (sine, Hover sine, triangular, rectangular and external wave) at a range of frequency 1-10 Hz with maximum amplitude of 10 cm. The piezovibrocone can be driven at the standard rate of 2 cm/sec using a loading unit of 10 ton capacity. The calibration chamber is of size $2m{\times}2m{\times}2m$. The sides of the chamber and the top as well as the bottom portions are rigid. It has a provision to apply confining pressure (to a maximum value of $4kg/cm^2$) through the flexible rubber membrane inlined with the side walls of the calibration chamber. The preliminary static as well as dynamic cone penetration tests have been done sand in the calibration chamber. From the experimental results, an attempt has been made to classify the soil based on friction ratio ($f_R$) and the cone tip resistance ($q_c$).

Marine reactor systems experience platform movement, and therefore, the system thermal-hydraulic analysis code needs to reflect the motion effect on the fluid to evaluate reactor safety. A moving reactor model for MARS-KS was developed to simulate the hydrodynamic phenomena in the reactor under motion conditions; however, its applicability does not cover the MULTID component used in multidimensional flow analyses. In this study, a moving reactor model is implemented for the MULTID component to address the importance of multidimensional flow effects under dynamic motion. The concept of the volume connection is generalized to facilitate the handling of the junction of MULTID. Further, the accuracy in calculating the pressure head between volumes is enhanced to precisely evaluate the additional body force. Finally, the Coriolis force is modeled in the momentum equations in an acceleration form. The improvements are verified with conceptual problems; the modified model shows good agreement with the analytical solutions and the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation results. Moreover, a simplified gravity-driven injection is simulated, and the model is validated against a ship flooding experiment. Throughout the verifications and validations, the model showed that the modification was well implemented to determine the capability of multidimensional flow analysis under ocean conditions.

Constitutive equations in a nuclear reactor safety analysis code are mostly empirical correlations developed from experiments, which always accompany uncertainties. The accuracy of the code can be improved by modifying the constitutive equations fitting wider range of data with less uncertainty. Thus, the sensitivity of the code with respect to the constitutive equations is evaluated quantitatively in the paper to understand the room for improvement of the code. A new methodology is proposed which first starts by dividing the thermal hydraulic conditions into multiple sub-regimes using self-organizing map (SOM) clustering method. The sensitivity analysis is then conducted by multiplying an arbitrary set of coefficients to the constitutive equations for each sub-divided thermal-hydraulic regime with SOM to observe how the code accuracy varies. The randomly chosen multiplier coefficient represents the uncertainty of the constitutive equations. Furthermore, the set with the smallest error with the selected experimental data can be obtained and can provide insight which direction should the constitutive equations be modified to improve the code accuracy. The newly proposed method is applied to a steady-state experiment and a transient experiment to illustrate how the method can provide insight to the code developer.

상수관망시스템의 운영목적은 탄력성을 높여 각종 비정상상황에 유연하게 대처할 수 있는 방향으로 점차 변화하고 있으며 이에 따라 비정상상황에 따른 단수구역 발생에 대한 사후대책 대비를 통한 탄력성 향상이 필수적이다. 이를 위한 가장 효율적인 방법은 수계전환에 따른 비상공급 수원확보이며, 비상관로를 통하여 인접 배수블록으로부터 단수된 구역에 용수를 공급할 수 있다. 성공적인 비상연계 운영을 위해서는, 수리학적 해석을 통하여 시공간적인 측면에서의 공급성능을 평가해야 한다. 비상연계 시, 공간적인 범위를 결정하는 주요 요소는 관경, 위치 및 관저고와 같은 비상관로에 해당하는 제원이며, 시간적인 범위를 결정하는 주요 요소는 연계배수지의 용량과 정수장에 공급 가능한 추가수량이다. 본 연구에서는 A시의 상수관망에 대하여 배수지 1지에 문제가 발생하여 타 배수지들로부터 비상연계를 받는 시나리오에 대하여 모의를 진행하였다. 배수지의 저류량 및 유입량에 대한 모의를 위하여 Advanced-Pressure Driven Analysis 모형을 사용하였으며, 수리해석 결과를 바탕으로 공급범위기준지표 및 공급시간기준지표를 산정하여 연계공급성능에 대한 다각도적인 평가를 진행하였다. 이에 비상연계에 대하여 소비자들이 실제 체감하는 공급성능을 시공간적인 측면에서 파악할 수 있었으며, 설계제원의 타당성에 대한 검토가 가능하였다. 이는 비상연계 성능향상을 위한 구조적 대책 및 비구조적 대책 수립에 대한 의사결정에 용이하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Numerical simulation on marine wind and sea surface elevation was carried out using both three-dimensional hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic models and a simple oceanic model from 0900 LST, August 13 to 0900 LST, August 15, 1995. As daytime easterly meso-scale sea-breeze from the eastern sea penetrates Kangnung city in the center part as basin and goes up along the slope of Mt. Taegullyang in the west, it confronts synoptic-scale westerly wind blowing over the top of the mountain at the mid of the eastern slope and then the resultant wind produces an upper level westerly return flow toward the East Sea. In a narrow band of weak surface wind within 10km of the coastal sea, wind stress is generally small, less than l${\times}$10E-2 Pa and it reaches 2 ${\times}$ 10E-2 Pa to the 35 km. Positive wind stress curl of 15 $\times$ 10E-5Pa $m^{-1}$ still exists in the same band and corresponds to the ascent of 70 em from the sea level. This is due to the generation of northerly wind driven current with a speed of 11 m $S^{-1}$ along the coast under the influence of south-easterly wind and makes an intrusion of warm waters from the southern sea into the northern coast, such as the East Korea Warm Current. On the other hand, even if nighttime downslope windstorm of 14m/s associated with both mountain wind and land-breeze produces the development of internal gravity waves with a hydraulic jump motion of air near the coastal inland surface, the surface wind in the coastal sea is relatively moderate south-westerly wind, resulting in moderate wind stress. Negative wind stress curl in the coast causes the subsidence of the sea surface of 15 em along the coast and south-westerly coastal surface wind drives alongshore south-easterly wind driven current, opposite to the daytime one. Then, it causes the intrusion of cold waters like the North Korea Cold Current in the northern coastal sea into the narrow band of the southern coastal sea. However, the band of positive wind stress curl at the distance of 30km away from the coast toward further offshore area can also cause the uprising of sea waters and the intrusion of warm waters from the southern sea toward the northern sea (northerly wind driven current), resulting in a counter-clockwise wind driven current. These clockwise and counter-clockwise currents much induce the formation of low clouds containing fog and drizzle in the coastal region.

상수관망의 용수는 수용가가 사용하기에 불편함이 없는 적절한 유량과 압력으로 사용성이 충분히 만족된 상태에서 공급되어야 한다. 상수도 시스템의 수리학적 해석 방법으로 사용되는 Demand Driven Analysis (DDA) 방법은 관망의 수리학적 상태가 변화했을 때 부압이 발생하는 등 비현실적인 결과를 발생시킬 수 있다. Pressure Driven Analysis (PDA) 방법은 비정상상태에서의 압력 및 공급량의 변화를 알기 위하여, 절점수두-용수공급량 관계 (Head-Outflow Relationship, HOR)를 이용하는데, 이는 실측자료의 부족으로 인하여 대부분의 연구에서는 HOR이 가정되어 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 PDA 분석에서 단점을 가진 HOR 대신, 절점에서 실제 사용성을 만족시키면서 공급이 가능한 용수량인 유효유량을 제안하였다. 그리고 Subsystem이 격리되었을 때 유효유량의 변화를 산정함으로써 격리된 부분의 관망에 대한 영향을 평가하여 이를 Subsystem 중요도 지수(Subsystem Importance Index, SII)로 정의하였다. 이를 위해 최적화 기법 중 하나인 Harmony Search와 상수관망 해석 프로그램인 EPANET을 결합하여 모형을 구축하였다. 제안된 모형을 대규모 상수관망에 적용하였으며, 본 모형은 상수관망의 유지, 보수 시에 관거 혹은 밸브 등의 처리 우선순위 산정 및 상수관망 신뢰도 평가로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 유효유량산정을 통하여 상수관망이 실제로 사용함에 불편함이 없을 정도로 용수공급이 얼마나 가능한가를 종전에 비하여 보다 정량적으로 산정 가능하다.

해저지하수와 지하수 기원 영양염류 유입량의 시간적 변화특성을 알아보기 위해 2009년 9월부터 2010년 9월까지 2-3개월 간격으로 제주도의 방두만에서 지하수의 유출속도와 영양염류 농도를 측정하였다. 해저지하수의 유출속도는 0~330 cm/day(평균 약 170 cm/day)였으며 조석주기 동안 육상 지하수면과 해수면사이의 수리학적 압력경사의 변화로 인해 고조에서 저조로 갈수록 빨라지는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 해저지하수의 유입량은 겨울철에 비해 여름철에 상대적으로 높았다. 지하수 기원 영양염류 유입량은 방두만내 전체 영양염류 유입양의 용존무기질소는 90~100%, 용존무기인은 70~95%, 용존무기규소는 65~100% 이었으며, 이는 0.9~33 g $carbon/m^2/day$의 유기탄소 생성에 기여를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 해저지하수를 통한 영양염류의 유입은 제주도 연안의 부영양화 및 생물생산에 매우 중요한 역할을 담당하는 것으로 보인다.

Piezoelectric-based hydraulic actuator is a hybrid device consisting of a hydraulic pump driven by piezoelectric stacks that is coupled to a conventional hydraulic cylinder via a set of fast-acting valves. Nowadays, such hybrid actuators are being researched and developed actively in many developed countries by requirement of high performance and compact flight system. In this research, a piezoelectric hybrid actuator has been designed and tested. To achieve bi-directional capabilities in the actuator, solenoid valves were used to control the direction of output fluid. The experimental testing of the actuator in uni-directional and bi-directional modes was performed to examine performance issues related to the solenoid valves. The results showed that the bi-directional performance was slightly lower than uni-directional performance due to air bubble developed in the valve system. A new design to solve the vacuum problem has been proposed to improve the performance of the hybrid actuator.
