In this paper, we investigate the performance improvement by applying flow control to LonWorks-based network systems which support various communication media together with interpretable class of systems. To this end, we introduce a circular queue at each node of industrial network systems usually operated in open loop. Then we utilize the feedback information of the number of data in a queue, the data arriving interval in a queue and channel error to make the overall industrial network system in closed loop. We verify the improved performance of the network systems in view of throughput and fairness measures via the experimental results conducted in several field situation.

난류흐름 거동은 지형이나 수공구조물과 같은 고체 경계면의 변화에 민감하게 반응하며 특징 또한 다양하다. 보나 여수로 등과 같은 단차 구조물을 통과하는 흐름은 구조물의 모서리 같은 흐름 경계면이 급변하는 지점에서는 흐름분리(flow separation)가 발생하는 것이 특징이다. 이러한 흐름분리로 인해 전단층이 발생하며 흐름 재순환(recirculation)이 구조물 하류부에 형성된다. 이 연구에서는 낙차공 형식의 단차 구조물 하류부에서의 흐름 거동을 이해하기 위해 CFD모델링을 통하여 계산된 3차원 유동장을 분석한다. 난류 모의는 하이브리드 LES(large-eddy simulation)/RANS 계산 기법인 IDDES(improved delayed detached-eddy simulation)기법을 적용한다. IDDES의 기본 모형으로는 k-ω SST모형과 Spalart-Allmaras모형을 이용하여 두 모형의 성능을 평가한다. 자유수면의 변동은 VoF(volume of fluid)기법을 이용하여 계산하며, 각 지배방정식은 최소의 수치분산을 유지하면서 수치해의 안정성을 확보할 수 있는 2차 정확도의 유한체적법을 이용하여 이산화하였다. 수치해석 결과는 레이놀즈수 23,400과 후르드수 0.22의 조건에서 기존에 계측된 자료와 비교하여 수치모형의 정확도를 평가하고 하상 단차 하류부에서의 흐름 거동 특성을 분석한다. 계산 결과는 공학적으로 널리 사용되는 RANS 수치모의에서 볼 수 없는 전단층과 난류구조의 동적 거동 특성과 이에 따른 레이놀즈 응력분포의 특성을 설명해준다.

PEM Fuel Cell operation mode can be classified into dead-end mode or open mode by whether the outlet port is blocked or not. Generally, dead-end type fuel cell has some merits on the pressure drop and system efficiency because it can generate more power than the open type fuel cell due to high operating pressure condition. However, the periodic purging process should be done for removing water which is formed as product of a reaction in the gas diffusion layer. In this study, cathode side dead-end type operation has been conducted. Moreover, pulsating flow generator at the outlet of cathode side has been suggested for increasing the period to purge the formed water because the pulsating flow can make formed water scattered uniformly over the whole channel. As a result, the purging period with pulsation increased by 1.5-2 times longer than that without pulsating.

A finite element model is studied to simulate unsteady free surface flow based on dynamic wave equation and collocation method. The collocation method is used in conjunction with Hermite polynomials, and resulting matrix equations are solved by skyline method. The model is verified by applying to hydraulic jump, nonlinear disturbance propagation and dam-break flow in a horizontal frictionless channel. The computed results are compared with those by Bubnov-Galerkin and Petrov-Galerkin methods. It is also applied to the North Han River to simulate the floodwave propagation. The computed results have good agreements with those of DWOPER model in terms of discharge hydrographs. The suggested model has proven to be one of the promising scheme for simulating the gradually and rapidly varied unsteady flow in open channels.

With regard to oversea mineral resources development, recent trend has been changed from a simple capital investment to a direct development of the resources. In relation to the stability of a slope in large open-pit coal mine, groundwater system was investigated and the validity of horizontal drainage hole was evaluated in Pasir coal mine, Indonesia. In this work, various field tests were carried out for a characterization of groundwater system, which included in-situ permeability measurement, tracer test and monitoring of groundwater levels. Especially, the influence of SM river on the characteristics of the groundwater flow system was mainly inspected. For the permeability measurement, Guelph permeameter was employed, and was found that sandstone was more permeable than mudstone and coal seam. From a comparison of lithological structure and the results of groundwater level monitoring, sandstone and thin coal seam with fractures were found to be a main channel for groundwater flow. In the results of tracer tests, the effect of SM river on the groundwater system depends on the geological structure of its base. To identify the effect of horizontal drainage holes, 2-D groundwater modeling was performed. Four different cases were tested, which are different from the length of drainage hole and the existence of pond on top of the slope. To enhance the drainage effect and slope stability, the drainage hole should be drilled to the depth of coal seam layer, which provides a main pathway of groundwater flow and embedded by sandstone. For this purpose, correct identification of surrounding geology should be preceded.

In order to determine the form and the length of saline wedge, it is necessary to evaluate interfacial friction factor. Hetherto one dimensional two-layer flow model which assumed pressure as the hydrostatic pressure distribution has been well used to the calculation of saline wedge form, it just then stands in need of relevant interfacial friction factor. For example, in the case where we calculate back to interfacial friction factor out of saline wedge form obtained at a laboratory open channel with comparatively narrow width, it is needed to correct the side-wall effect of a channel, if generally negligible in the river. In this study, we confirmed the influence of a side-wall upon the lateral velocity distributions at laboratory channel and then examined in detail the value of interfacial friction factor in the case where it was corrected by the side-wall effect and not corrected. And then we make clear the influence of a side-wall upon the arrested saline wedge and interfacial faction factor from these results.

Experimental study on a cross-flow air-cooled plate heat exchanger (PHE) was performed. Two types of PHEs were manufactured either with single-wave plates or with double-wave plates in parallel. Cooling air flows through the PHEs in a crosswise direction against internal hot water. The heat exchanger aims to substitute open-loop cooling towers with closed-loop water circulation, which guarantees cleanliness and compactness. In this study, prototype single-wave and double-wave PHEs were designed and tested in a laboratory scale experiments. From the tests, the double-wave PHE shows approximately 50% enhanced heat transfer performance compared to the single-wave PHE. However, the double-wave PHE costs 30% additional pressure drop. For the commercialization, a wide channel design for air flow would be essential for performance and reliability.

This study presents numerical simulations of mean flow and turbulence structure of an open channel with submerged vegetation. Filtered Navier-Stokes equations are solved using large-eddy simulation (LES). The immersed boundary method (IBM) is employed based on a Cartesian grid. The numerical result is compared with experimental data of Liu et al. (2008) and shows that simulated results coincided reasonably with experimental data within the average error of 10%. Strong vortices are generated at the interface between vegetated and non-vegetated regions with spanwise extent. The generation of turbulence induced by shear at the interface is interfered with wake turbulence, resulting turbulence intensity maximum. Turbulence produced by shear affects the flow in vegetated region and the penetration depth increases with an increase in the submergence ratio. This result can be used to understand sediment transport mechanisms in the vegetated region.

A numerical simulation of the incompressible multiphase hydraulic jump flow was performed to compare the interface prediction through the use of the three RANS turbulence models: $k-{\varepsilon}$, $RNGk-{\varepsilon}$ and SST $k-{\omega}$. A three dimensional no submerged hydraulic jump and a two dimensional submerged hydraulic jump were modeled. Both the geometry and the mesh were created using the open source Gmsh code. The project's geometry consists of a rectangular channel with length and height differences between the two dimensional and three dimensional simulations. Uniform hexahedral cells were used for the mesh. Three refining meshes were constructed to allow to verify simulation convergence. The Volume of Fluid (abbr. VOF) method was used for treatment of the air-water surface. The turbulence models were evaluated in three distinct set up configurations to provide a greater accuracy in the flow representation. In the two-dimensional analysis of a submerged hydraulic jump simulation, the turbulence model RNG RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ provided a better interface adjust with the experimental results than the model $k-{\varepsilon}$ and SST $k-{\omega}$. In the three-dimensional simulation of a no-submerged hydraulic jump the k-# showed better results than the SST $k-{\omega}$ and RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ capturing the height and length of the ledge with a better fit with the experimental results.

자연하천의 주요한 특징 중 하나인 하천의 사행은 직선수로에서 예측되는 유속분포를 왜곡시키며 매우 복잡한 흐름구조를 형성한다. 이는 하상 경계면에서 발생하는 전단응력 분포의 변화를 야기하는데 하상 경계면에서의 전단응력은 다양한 경험적 관계에 의존하는 유사이동의 한계 소류력 산정 및 오염물질 거동해석의 분산계수 산정에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. 물리적인 관측을 통한 하상 경계면에서의 전단응력의 관측은 다소 제한적이며 많은 비용을 요구한다. 따라서 하상 경계면에서 발생하는 전단응력의 경우 수심의 20% 이하의 연직 유속분포를 벽법칙에 적용하여 추정하는 방법이 주로 이루어지고 있다. 벽법칙을 이용한 하상 경계면의 전단응력을 계산하는 경우 대수중복층의 유속 분포 $u/u^*=(1/{\kappa})ln(zu^*/{\nu})+B$에서 무차원상수 ${\kappa}$와 B의 적절한 추정이 요구되어 진다. 일반적으로 무차원상수 ${\kappa}$와 B는 수리학적으로 매끄러운 벽면에서 대략 ${\kappa}=0.4$, B=5.5로서 경험적으로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 직선수로 및 다양한 사행수로의 3차원 흐름장 모의를 수행하여 벽법칙의 대수 중복층을 따르는 주흐름 방향 유속의 연직분포를 비교하였다. 수치모의 소프트웨어로서 Linux 기반의 OpenFOAM이 사용되었으며 모델의 검증을 위해 Chang(1971)에 의해 수행 된 사행수로에서의 유속장 관측 결과와 비교하였고 수치모의 결과가 실험 관측치와 잘 일치하는 것으로 판단되었다. 수치모의에 적용 된 사행수로의 형상은 Hey(1976)에 의해 제안 된 사행하천의 지형학적 인자들 간에 관계를 이용하여 사행도 1.03에서 2.42까지 총 7개의 사행수로 지형을 생성하였다. 사행도의 변화에 따라 만곡부 정점에서 대수중복층 구간의 주흐름 방향 유속의 연직분포를 비교한 결과, 본 연구에서 생성 된 모든 사행수로에서 대수중복층 구간의 무차원 유속 $u^+$와 무차원 거리 $z^+$가 로그 분포를 따르는 것으로 나타났으나 경험적으로 사용되었던 무차원상수 B의 경우 사행도가 증가 할수록 대수적으로 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 관계가 무차원 상수 B값에 미치는 영향을 반영하여 수리학적으로 매끄러운 벽면에서 적용이 가능한 수정된 대수중복층 식을 제시하고자 한다.
