When designing structures to the wind action, the variation of the mean wind velocity and turbulence parameters with the height above the ground must be taken into account. This paper presents the numerical simulation results of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) airflows, in a numerical domain with no obstacles and with a cubic building. The results of the flow characterization, obtained with the FLUENT CFD code were performed using the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model with the MMK modification. The mean velocity and turbulence intensity profiles in the inflow boundary were defined in accordance with the Eurocode 1.4, for different conditions of aerodynamic roughness. The maintenance of the velocity and turbulence characteristics along the domain were evaluated in an empty domain for uniform incident flow and the ABL Eurocode velocity profiles. The pressure coefficients on a cubic building were calculated using these inflow conditions.

There is world wide concern for safety of nuclear power installations after the terrorist attack on World Trade Center in 2001 and several other civilian structures in the last decade. The nuclear containment structure in many countries is a double shell structure (outer shell a RCC and inner a prestressed concrete). The outer reinforced concrete shell protects the inner shell and is designed for external loading like impact and blast. A comparative study of non-linear response of reinforced concrete nuclear containment cylindrical shell subjected to impact of an aircraft (Phantom) and explosion of different amounts of blast charges have been presented here. A material model which takes into account the strain rate sensitivity in dynamic loading situations, plastic and visco-plastic behavior in three dimensional stress state and cracking in tension has been developed earlier and implemented into a finite element code which has been validated with published literature. The analysis has been made using the developed software. Significant conclusions have been drawn for dissimilarity in response (deflections, stresses, cracks etc.) of the shell for impact and blast loading.

Ample research effort has been oriented into developing damage indices with the aim of estimating in a reasonable manner the consequences, in terms of structural damage and deterioration, of severe plastic cycling. Although several studies have been devoted to calibrate damage indices for steel and reinforced concrete members; currently, there is a challenge to study and calibrate the use of such indices for the practical evaluation of complex structures. The aim of this paper is to introduce an energy-based damage index for multi-degree-of-freedom steel buildings that accounts explicitly for the effects of cumulative plastic deformation demands. The model has been developed by complementing the results obtained from experimental testing of steel members with those derived from analytical studies regarding the distribution of plastic demands on several steel frames designed according to the Mexico City Building Code. It is concluded that the approach discussed herein is a promising tool for practical structural evaluation of framed structures subjected to large energy demands.

Numerical analysis is done to investigate the effects of pulse bias on the plasma processing characteristics like ion doping and ion nitriding by using fluid dynamic code with a 2D axi-symmetric model. For 10 mTorr of Ar plasma, -1 kV of pulse bias was simulated. Maximum sheath thickness was around 20 mm based on the electric potential profile. The peak electron temperature was about 20 eV, but did not affect the averaged plasma characteristics of the whole chamber. Maximum ion current density incident on the substrate was 200 $A/m^2$ at the center, but was decreased down to 1/10th at radius 100 mm, giving poor radial uniformity.

최근 정부에서는 영산강 하구역 수질환경의 현재 상황 파악 및 미래 상황 예측을 위하여 모니터링 및 모델 연구를 진행 중에 있다. 그러나 모니터링 및 모델 자료는 대부분 수치 및 문자 형태로 이루어져 있어 사용자들의 이해도가 떨어지는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하구역 수질환경의 현재 상황 파악 및 미래 상황 예측을 지원할 수 있는 GIS기반 통합정보시스템을 개발하였다. 시스템 개발을 지원하기 위하여 모니터링 및 모델 DB 수집, 모델 연계 방안 마련, 시스템 GUI 및 개발환경 정의, 시스템 구성 등을 수행하였다. 모니터링 자료는 2010 ~ 2012년 영산강 하구역을 대상으로 실시된 관측값을 사용하였으며, 모델 자료는 유역 지역을 모의하기 위한 HSPF(Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran) 모델과 하천 및 하구 지역을 모의하기 위한 EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) 모델 자료를 사용하였다. 최종적으로 모니터링 및 모델 자료를 시스템에 적용하여 관리 및 표출 방안에 대하여 제시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 시스템은 영산강 하구역 수질환경을 정량적으로 파악 및 예측하는데 지원할 수 있으며, 지도 기반 환경에 모니터링 및 모델 자료를 표출함으로써 사용자의 공간적 이해도를 높였다. 향후에는 영산강 하구역 수질환경 문제점에 대처 가능한 의사결정지원시스템으로 고도화하여 환경 평가 및 정책 수립에 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Fluid-elastic instability and turbulence-induced vibration of steam generator U-tubes of a nuclear power plant are studied numerically to investigate the effect of design changes of support structures in the upper region of the tubes. Two steam generator models, Model A and Model B, are considered in this study. The main design features of both models are identical except for the conditions of vertical and horizontal support bars. The location and number of vertical and horizontal support bars at the middle of the U-bend region in Model A differs from that of Model B. The stability ratio and the amplitude of turbulence-induced vibration are calculated by a computer program based on the ASME code. The mode shape with a large modal displacement at the upper region of the U-tube is the key parameter related to the fretting wear between the tube and its support structures, such as vertical, horizontal, and diagonal support bars. Therefore, the location and the number of vertical and horizontal support bars have a great influence on the fretting wear mechanism. The variation in the stability ratios for each vibrational mode is compared with respect to Model A and Model B. Even though both models satisfy the design criteria, Model A shows substantial improvements over Model B, particularly in terms of having greater amplitude margins in the turbulence-excited vibration (especially at the inner region of the tube bundle) and better stability ratios for the fluid-elastic instability.

For the cassion type of breakwater under the condition of large wave loads, stability about lateral movement of breakwater was investigated by performing centrifuge model experiments. Prototype of breakwater was modelled by scaling down to centrifuge model and the soft ground reinforced with grouting was also reconstructed in the centrifuge model experiments. Sandy ground beneath breakwater was prepared with a soil sampled in field so that identical value of internal friction angle could be obtained. Centrifuge model experiments were carried out to reconstruct the construction sequence in field. Lateral static wave load was applied to the model caisson after the final stage of construction sequence was rebuilt and the measured lateral movement of caisson was compared with allowable value by the code to assess the stability about lateral movement of the breakwater.

본 논문에서는 MIMO-OFDM 시스템의 성능 분석을 위해 실제 측정된 채널 데이터를 사용한 수중 채널 모델을 기반으로 OFDM 파라미터들을 설정하였다. 또한, 선형 보간법을 이용한 least square (LS) 채널 추정기법을 이용하여 채널의 상태 정보를 획득하였다. Alamouti code를 이용한 space-time block code (STBC) 및 space-frequency blcok code (SFBC)를 적용하여 그 성능을 평가 및 분석 하였으며, 동시에 $1{\times}2$ maximum ratio combining (MRC)을 적용하여 성능을 비교 분석한 결과, SFBC의 경우 수중 채널의 심각한 주파수 선택적 특성으로 인하여 유효한 BER 특성을 보이지 못하였으나, STBC의 경우 4-column 파일럿 구조를 적용하였을 때, SISO 시스템과 비교하여 약 7dB 정도의 향상된 성능을 나타내고 있음을 확인하였다.

In order to suggest the methodology for achieving anti-vortex within multi pump intake well, the field test and CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation were conducted. The filed test were carried out for domestic W_multi pump intake well according to usual operation condition through the naked observation. From the results, operating #4, #5, #8 and 9# pumps, the vortex and swirl occurred above #4 and #9 intake pipe within two wells. For qualitative analysis, a commercial CFD code, using sump model, was used to predict the vortex generation within the selected pump intake facility accurately. The analysed results by CFD show that the vortex structure and location are in accordance with the results of the field test.
