This parer presents the analysis of hot gas flow in puffer-type circuit breakers using FVFLIC method. For the analysis of arc-flow interaction, the flow field is analyzed from the equations of conservation for mass, momentum and energy with the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium state. The arc is represented as the energy source term composed of ohmic heating and radiation term in the energy conservation equation. Ohmic heating is computed by the electric field analysis only within the conducting plasma region. An approximate radiation transport model is employed for the evaluation of emission and absorption of the radiation. The analysis method was applied to the real circuit breaker model and simulation results such as pressure rise and arc voltage were compared with the experimental ones.

This study presents an analytical method of solving the behaviors of arc plasma in a nozzle constricting transferred-type torch and purposes to obtain the basic data for the design of a plasma torch, which can be obtained from the temperature, pressure, velocities and voltage distributions. We have to solve some conservation equations simultaneously and need to know the exact thermal gas properties in order to obtain the correct behaviors of arc plasma. It is also necessary to give the relevant physical or geometric boundary conditions. For the simplicity of analysis, we assumed that (a) the plasma flow is laminar, (b)the local thermodynamic equilibrium, i.e. LTE, prevails over the entire arc column region. The electrode sheath effects were neglected and the nozzle area was excluded from the analysis by assuming that the current flow into the nozzle is zero. We solved the momentum transfer equation including the self-magnetic pinch effect, and obtained the temperature distribution from the energy conservation equation. From this temperature, we could get arc voltage distribution. (author). refs., figs., tabs.

본 연구에서는 지수형 함수로 표현된 비선형 충격력을 받는 시스템의 동적 응답 정밀도를 향상시키고자 선형 충격력의 경우와 비교ㆍ검토하였다. Newmark 계열의 중앙법 알고리듬이 사다리꼴법과 같이 충격력이 없는 경우 모멘텀과 에너지 보존을 성립하도록 유도되었다. 중앙법, 사다리꼴법, 시간구간 종점 평가법((n+1)점 방법)을 선형 충격력에 적용하면 적분간격의 크기에 상관없이 보존성질을 만족하나, 비선형 충격력의 경우 모멘텀과 에너지 보존 상수값이 과소 또는 과대평가 되어졌다. 이러한 오차를 제거하고자 시간간격을 늘리면서 평가함수의 개수를 최소로 하는 다단계 방법중의 하나인 Simpson 1/3법을 사용하여 보존상수값의 정밀도를 향상시켰다. 아울러 유한회전을 포함한 유한운동을 해석할 때에도 제안된 알고리듬이 확정ㆍ적용될 가능성을 보여주고 있다.

A meshless technique using the geometric conservation least-squares method (GC-LSM) was devised to discretize the governing equation of linear elasticity. Although the finite-element method is widely used for structural analysis, a meshless method was developed because of its advantages in a moving grid system. This work is the preliminary phase for developing a fully meshless-based fluid-structure interaction solver. In this study, Cauchy's momentum equation was discretized in strong form using GC-LSM for the structural domain, and the Newmark beta method was used for time integration. The solver was validated in 1D, 2D, and 3D benchmarking problems. Static and dynamic results were obtained. The results are more accurate than those of analytic solutions.

The two-fluid model is widely used to describe two-phase flows in complex systems such as nuclear reactors. Although the two-phase flow was successfully simulated, the standard two-fluid model suffers from an ill-posed nature. There are several remedies for the ill-posedness of the one-dimensional (1D) two-fluid model; among those, artificial viscosity is the focus of this study. Some previous works added artificial diffusion terms to both mass and momentum equations to render the two-fluid model well-posed and demonstrated that this method provided a numerically converging model. However, they did not consider mass conservation, which is crucial for analyzing a closed reactor system. In fact, the total mass is not conserved in the previous models. This study improves the artificial viscosity model such that the 1D incompressible two-fluid model is well-posed, and the total mass is conserved. The water faucet and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability flows were simulated to test the effect of the proposed artificial viscosity model. The results indicate that the proposed artificial viscosity model effectively remedies the ill-posedness of the two-fluid model while maintaining a negligible total mass error.

충돌이나 폭파시 발생하는 기계적 에너지나 화학적 에너지는 응력파의 형태로 매체를 통과하게 되며, 매체의 자유면과 절리면을 따라 반사와 굴절을 거듭하는 매우 복잡한 과정을 거치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 재료특성을 달리하는 층을 통과하는 소성응력파의 전파과정을 압력 부종속 모델인 Von-Mises 모델을 사용하여 연구하였다. 응력파의 전파과정을 연구하기 위한 지배 방정식(governing equation)으로서는 물체에 종속되어 있는 라그란지안 좌표계(lagrangian coordinate system)로 표현된 운동량과 질량보존(conservation of momentum and mass)법칙식을 사용하였으며 또한 충격전면(shock front)에 연속성을 부여하기 위해 인공점성(artificial viscosity)을 운동량 보존식에 첨가하였다. 주요 방정식을 풀기 위한 수치해석법으로는 시간과 공간 좌표계로 구성된 유한차분법(finite difference method)을 사용하였으며 소성변형률을 구하기 위한 소성이론으로서는 associated normality flow rule을 사용하였다.

충격하중을 받는 구조물은 초고압에서 부터 저압까지 다양한 압력을 짧은 시간에 경험하게 된다. 따라서 이들 구조물을 해석하기 위해서는 실제 물체의 재료특성을 표현할 수 있는 구성 법칙(constitutive law)이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 압력 부종속모델(pressure independent model)인 Von-Mises 모델과 압력 종속모델(pressure dependent model)인 Drucker-Prager 모델을 사용하여 충격과 폭발 현상시 발생하는 응력파의 전파과정(propagation process)을 재료특성에 따라 비교 분석하였다. 응력파의 전파과정을 연구하기 위한 지배 방정식(governing equation)으로서는 물체에 종속되어 있는 라그란지안 좌표계(lagrangian coordinate system)로 표현된 운동량과 질량보존(conservation of momentum and mass)법칙을 사용하였으며 또한 충격전면(shock front)에 연속성을 부여하기 위해 인공점성(artificial viscosity)을 운동량 보존식에 첨가하였다. 주요 방정식을 풀기 위한 수치해석법으로는 시간과 공간 좌표계로 구성된 유한차분법(finite difference method)을 사용하였으며 소성변형률을 구하기 위한 소성이론으로서는 Associated normality flow rule을 사용하였다.

Single-blade centrifugal pumps are widely used as sewage pumps. However, the impeller of a single-blade pump is subjected to strong radial thrust during pump operation because of the geometrical axial asymmetry of the impeller. Therefore, to improve pump reliability, it is necessary to quantitatively understand radial thrust and elucidate the behavior and mechanism of thrust generating. This study investigates the radial thrust acting up on a single-blade centrifugal impeller by conducting experiments and CFD analysis. The results show that the fluctuating component of radial thrust increases as the flow rate deviates from the design flow rate to low or high value. Radial thrust was modeled by a combination of three components, inertia, momentum, and pressure by applying an unsteady conservation of momentum to the impeller. The sum of these components agrees with the radial thrust calculated by integrating the pressure and the shearing stress on the impeller surface. The behavior of each component was shown, and the effects of each component on radial thrust were clarified. The pressure component has the greatest effect on the time-averaged value and the fluctuating component of radial thrust. The time-averaged value of the inertia component is nearly 0, irrespective of the change in the flow rate. However, its fluctuating component has a magnitude nearly comparable with the pressure component at a low flow rate and slightly decreased with the increase in flow rate.

In this study, a new idea for developing a space scale for measuring mass in a microgravity environment was proposed by using the inertial force properties of an object to measure its mass. The space scale detected the momentum change of the specimen and reference masses by using a load-cell sensor as the force transducer based on Newton's laws of motion. In addition, the space scale calculated the specimen mass by comparing the inertial forces of the specimen and reference masses in the same acceleration field. By using this concept, a space scale with a capacity of 3 kg based on the law of momentum conservation was implemented and demonstrated under microgravity conditions onboard International Space Station (ISS) with an accuracy of ${\pm}1g$. By the performance analysis on the space scale, it was verified that an instrument with a compact size could be implemented and be quickly measured with a reasonable accuracy under microgravity conditions.

The two-dimensional, unsteady, laminar conservation equations for mass, momentum, energy and species transport in the gas phase and mass, momentum and energy in the liquid phase are solved simultaneously in spherical coordinates in order to study heating and vaporization of a droplet entrained in the oscillating flow. The numerical solution gives the velocity and temperature distribution in both gas and liquid phase as a function of time. When the gas flow oscillates around an vaporizing droplet, the liquid flow circulates in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction and the temperature distribution in the liquid phase changes its shapes, depending on the gas fow direction. When the gas flow changes its direction of circulating liquid flow is opposite to the gas flow, forming two vortex circulating in the opposite direction. During the heating period, the difference in the maximum and minimum temperature is large, followed by the almost uniform temperature slightly below the boiling temperature. The mass and heat transfer from the droplet depend on the droplet temperature, droplet diameter and the magnitude of relative velocity, giving the droplet lifetime different from the d$^{2}$-law.
