In this study, the pressure drop behavior of single- and two-phase flows of air and water through the porous beds filled with uniform and non-uniform sized spherical particles was examined. The pressure drop data in the single-phase flow experiments for the uniform particle beds agreed well with the original Ergun correlation. The results from the two-phase flow experiments were analyzed using numerical results based on three types of previous models. In the experiments for the uniform particle beds, the data on the two-phase pressure drop clearly showed the effect of the flow regime transition with a variation in the gas flow rate under stagnant liquid condition. The numerical analyses indicated that the predictability of the previous models for the experimental data relied mainly on the sub-models of the flow regime transitions and interfacial drag. In the experiments for the non-uniform particle beds, the two-phase pressure loss could be predicted well with numerical calculations based on the effective particle diameter. However, the previous models failed to accurately predict the counter-current flooding limit observed in the experiments. Finally, we propose a relation of falling liquid velocity into the particle bed by gravity to appropriately simulate the CCFL phenomenon.

가로흐름이 존재하는 수역으로 방출되는 온배수 해석에 3가지 난류모형의 사용성 평가를 위해서 근역 2차원 수치모형을 개발하였다. 적용한 난류모형은 2-방정식 난류모형인 {{{{ { k}_{ } }}}}-$\varepsilon$ 및 {{{{ { k}_{ } }}}}-ι 난류모형과 {{{{ { k}_{ } }}}}-$\varepsilon$ 난류모형에 부력생성 항 및 난류 열 플럭스 항 결정을 위한 변동온도 평균자승항 및 이의 감쇠율에 대한 전달 방정식을 추가한 4-방정식 난류모형이다. 개발된 모형은 간단한 단면을 갖는 개수로 정류 경우에 대해 적용하였으며, 계산된 결과는 기존의 실험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 4-방정식 난류모형에 의한 결과가 2-방정식에 의한 결과보다 부력에 의한 횡방향의 중력확장을 잘 나타내었으며, 흐름 양상의 계산에는 3가지 경우 모두 유사하게 흐름을 재현함을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 해저지형이 변화하는 원형의 섬 주변에서 발생하는 조석 잔차류에 대하여 3차원 수치실험을 수행했다. 본 연구에서 사용한 3차원 수치모델은 스펙트랄 모델로서 수평적으로는 유한 차분법을 적용하고 연직방향으로는 깊이에 따라 변하는 기저함수의 곱으로 확장하여 해류의 연직분포를 구하는 모델이다. 수치실험 결과 조석 잔차류 발생에 있어 수심변화의 효과와 비선형 효과가 중요한 역할을 했고 이것은 기존의 조석 잔차류 발생에 대한 2차원적 수치실험 연구결과와 일치했다. 또 조석 잔차류의 수평구조는 시계방향의 회전성 조류일 때 시계방향으로 순환하는 잔차류의 특성을 보였으며 3차원적 구조를 검토한 결과 잔차류의 수평속도 성분 즉 u, v의 연직구조는 대수함수적인 분포를 나타냈다.

빈발하고 있는 대규모 홍수와 자연재해는 정확도가 높은 하천 흐름 수치해석 모델에 대한 관심의 증대로 이어지고 있다. 현재 하천에서 발생하는 일반적인 흐름은 기존에 개발된 여러 형태의 천수방정식을 지배방정식으로 하는 수치기법에 의해 해석되고 있으나, 연속적이지 않은 형태의 흐름을 해석하거나 매우 정확한 해석을 필요로 하는 경우에는 기존의 수치해석기법은 많은 한계를 보여 주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 불연속 갤러킨 기법 기반의 흐름 모델을 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 전통적으로 1차원 천이류로 분류되는, 댐 붕괴파, 둔덕위 흐름 모의에 적용하여 기존의 수치해와 대체로 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

This paper considers the tensile strength of concrete samples in direct, CTT, modified tension, splitting and ring tests using both of the experimental tests and numerical simulation (particle flow code 2D). It determined that which one of indirect tensile strength is close to direct tensile strength. Initially calibration of PFC was undertaken with respect to the data obtained from Brazilian laboratory tests to ensure the conformity of the simulated numerical models response. Furthermore, validation of the simulated models in four introduced tests was also cross checked with the results from experimental tests. By using numerical testing, the failure process was visually observed and failure patterns were watched to be reasonable in accordance with experimental results. Discrete element simulations demonstrated that the macro fractures in models are caused by microscopic tensile breakages on large numbers of bonded discs. Tensile strength of concrete in direct test was less than other tests results. Tensile strength resulted from modified tension test was close to direct test results. So modified tension test can be a proper test for determination of tensile strength of concrete in absence of direct test. Other advantages shown by modified tension tests are: (1) sample preparation is easy and (2) the use of a simple conventional compression press controlled by displacement compared with complicate device in other tests.

Substructure pseudo-dynamic hybrid simulation (SPDHS) combining the advantages of physical experiments and numerical simulation has become an important testing method for evaluating the dynamic responses of structures. Various parameter identification methods have been proposed for online model updating. However, if there is large model gap between the assumed numerical models and the real models, the parameter identification methods will cause large prediction errors. This study presents an ANN (artificial neural network) method based on forgetting factor. During the SPDHS of model updating, a dynamic sample window is formed in each loading step with forgetting factor to keep balance between the new samples and historical ones. The effectiveness and anti-noise ability of this method are evaluated by numerical analysis of a six-story frame structure with BRBs (Buckling Restrained Brace). One BRB is simulated in OpenFresco as the experimental substructure, while the rest is modeled in MATLAB. The results show that ANN is able to present more hysteresis behaviors that do not exist in the initial assumed numerical models. It is demonstrated that the proposed method has good adaptability and prediction accuracy of restoring force even under different loading histories.

The dynamic tests of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) are carried out, the rate-dependent mechanical models of RAC are proposed. The dynamic mechanical behaviors of RAC frame structure are investigated by adopting the numerical simulation method of the finite element. It is indicated that the lateral stiffness and the hysteresis loops of RAC frame structure obtained from the numerical simulation agree well with the test results, more so for the numerical simulation which is considered the strain rate effect than for the numerical simulation with strain rate excluded. The natural vibration frequency and the lateral stiffness increase with the increase of the strain rate. The dynamic model of the lateral stiffness is proposed, which is reasonably applied to describe the effect of the strain rate on the lateral stiffness of RAC frame structure. The effect of the strain rate on the structural deformation and capacity of RAC is analyzed. The analyses show that the inter-story drift decreases with the increase of the strain rate. However, with the increasing strain rate, the structural capacity increases. The dynamic models of the base shear coefficient and the overturning moment of RAC frame structure are developed. The dynamic models are important and can be used to evaluate the strength deterioration of RAC structure under dynamic loading.

Evaluation of predictability of numerical models for tropical cyclone track was performed using along-and cross-track component. The along-and cross-track bias were useful indicators that show the numerical models predictability associated with cause of errors. Since forecast errors, standard deviation and consistency index of along-track component were greater than those of cross-track component, there was some rooms for improvement in alongtrack component. There was an overall slow bias. The most accurate model was JGSM for 24-hour forecast and ECMWF for 48~96-hour forecast in direct position error, along-track error and cross-track error. ECMWF and GFS had a high variability for 24-hour forecast. The results of predictability by track type showed that most significant errors of tropical cyclone track forecast were caused by the failure to estimate the recurvature phenomenon.

A method of numerical analysis without conducting 3D wind tunnel model tests was examined in our previous study for predicting vortex-induced oscillation of bridge girders with span-wise varying geometry. The aerodynamic damping forces measured for plural wind tunnel 2D models were used in the analysis. A further study was conducted to examine the precision of solution obtained by this method. First, the responses of vortex-induced oscillation of two rocking models and a taut-strip bridge girder model with span-wise varying geometry were measured. Next, the responses of these models were numerically analyzed by means of this method, and then a comparison was made between the obtained $Vr-A-{\delta}_a$ contour diagram of each 3D model in the wind tunnel test and the diagram in the numerical analysis. Since close correlations were observed between each two $Vr-A-{\delta}_a$diagrams obtained in the model test and in the analysis in cases where the 3D model did not have strong three-dimensionality, our findings revealed that the predicted solution proved to be reasonably accurate.

The flow of non-rotation atmosphere with uniform stratification and wind past an isolated three dimensional topography obstacle is investigated with three-dimensional hydrostatic and non- hydrostatic numerical model. The characteristic of turbulence created the back of topography obstacle is usually defined by Froude number which is the function of upstream wind speed, the height of topography obstacle, and atmospheric stability. Turbulence tends to be formed more easily at the non-hydrostatic model than hydrostatic model. Especially, the difference between flow patterns of two models generated by isolated obstacle is more clear under low Froude number. The difference of flow patterns can be only seen at relatively low altitude, but at high altitude the patterns of two models are almost same. In this research, wind velocity in the parameters related with Froude number have great sensitivity at responsibility of numerical models. and slop of obstacle is also important factor at the flow pattern regardless of the species of numerical model
