Fuel cells are devices that convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy. Owing to the high efficiency of the fuel cells, a large number of research work have been done during these years. Among many kinds of the fuel cells, a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is such kind of thing which works under low temperature. Because of the specialty, it stimulated intense global R&D competition. Most of the major world automakers are racing to develop polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell passenger vehicles. Unfortunately, there are still many problems to be solved in order to make them into the commercial use, such as the thermal and water management in working process of PEMFCs. To solve the difficulites facing the researcher, the analysis of the inner mechanism of PEMFC should be implemented as much as possible and mathematical modeling is an important tool for the research of the fuel cell especially with the combination of experiment. By regarding some of the assumptions and simplifications, using the finite element technique, a two-dimensional electrochemical mode is presented in this paper for the further comparison with experimental data. Based on the principals of the problem, the equations of electronic charge conservation equation, gas-phase continuity equation, and mass balance equation are used in calculating. Finally, modeling results indicate some of the phenomenon in a unit cell, and the relationships between potential and current density.

Truss structures are widely used in many space structures, such as large antenna systems, space stations, precision segmented telescopes because they are light in weight and amenable in assembly or deployment. But, due to the low damping capacity, they remain excited for a long time once disturbed. These structural vibrations can reduce life of the structures and cause unstable dynamic characteristics. In this research, vibration suppression experiment has carried out with a three-dimensional 15-member truss structure using two piezoelectric actuators. Piezoelectric actuators which consist of stacks of thin piezoelectric material disks are directly inserted to the truss structure collocated with the strain sensors. Each actuator is controlled digitally in decentralized manner, based on local integral and proportional feedback. The optimal positions of the actuators are determined by the modal damping ratio and the control force. Numerical simulation has carried out to determine optimal position of each actuator.

The propagation of the impulse wave discharged from the Inclined exit of a pipe is investigated through shock tube experiment and numerical computations. The pressure histories and directivities of the impulse wave propagating outside from the exit of pipe with several different configurations are analyzed for the range of the incident shock wave Mach number between 1.1 and 1.4. In the shock tube experiments, the impulse waves are visualized by a Schlieren optical system for the purpose of validation of computational work. Computations using the two-dimensional. unsteady, compressible, Euler equations are carried out to represent the experimented impulse waves. Computed Schlieren images predict the experimented impulse waves with a good accuracy. The results obtained show that for the radial direction the peak pressure of the impulse wave discharged depends upon the Inclined angle of the exit of the pipe. but for the axial direction it is almost constant regardless of the inclined angle of the pipe exit.

댐붕괴흐름은 댐이 갑자기 붕괴하여 제어가 어려운 상태의 고속흐름이 방출되는 현상이다. 이 연구에서는 3차원의 댐붕괴흐름을 모의하기 위해 OpenFOAM을 사용하여 층류 및 난류 모델을 적용하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 난류 모의를 위해 레이놀즈 평균 나비에-스토크스 (Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) 모델, 구체적으로 k-ε 모델을 사용하였다. 수리모형실험과 함께 수정된 다층 블록 장애물 시나리오를 대상으로 두 가지 모델을 평가하였다. 두 모델 모두 댐붕괴흐름을 효과적으로 재현하였으며, 난류 모델은 흐름의 변동성을 감소시키는 역할을 보여줬다. 그러나 난류 모델에서의 과도한 에너지소산은 수위를 과소 평가하게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 수치기법 및 격자 해상도를 개선하여 적용한 결과 흐름재현성이 향상되었는데 이는 특히 구조물 근처의 난류흐름에서 두드러졌다. 모델 안정성의 경우 난류모델의 사용여부보다는 수치기법 및 격자 해상도의 개선에 더 크게 영향을 받았다. k-ε 모델에 내재된 시간평균처리의 특성은 불연속성과 불안정성이 두드러진 댐붕괴흐름을 재현하는 데 한계가 있음을 나타냈다. RANS 모델을 포함한 난류모의는 방대한 계산자원이 필요하지만, 층류 모델과 비교하여 성능 향상이 제한적이었다. 댐붕괴흐름을 정확히 재현하기 위해 LES (Large Eddy Simulation) 및 DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation)과 같은 고급 난류 모델의 사용이 권장되며, 이를 위해서는 미세한 공간 및 시간 스케일의 구성이 필수적이다. 이 연구를 통해 댐붕괴흐름을 모의할 때 기본적으로 사용할 수 있는 주요 접근법과 적용가능성을 측정하였으며, 구조물 근처에서 난류흐름에 대한 정확한 표현의 중요성을 강조할 수 있었다.

Computations of the mean and turbulence flows over three-dimensional hill of conical shape have implemented. Beside the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ , two other modifications proposed by Detering & Etling and Duynkerke for atmospheric applications were also considered. These predictions were compared with the data of a wind tunnel experiment. From the comparison, it was concluded that all three models predict the mean flow velocities equally well while only the Duynkerke's model accurately predicts the turbulence data statistics. It also concluded that there are large discrepancies between model predictions and the measurements near the ground surface. The flow field, which was obtained by using the Duynkerke's modification, was used to simulate gas dispersion from an upwind source. The calculation results are verified based on the measurement data. Modifications of the turbulent Schmidt number were carried out in order to match the measured results. The code was used to investigate the influence of the recirculation zone behind a building of cubical shape on the transport and dispersion of pollutant. For a stack behind and near the obstacle, some conclusions about the effect of the stack height and stack location were derived.

A heat transfer analysis for the two-dimensional (2-D) steady state using finite difference method (FDM) is performed to predict the thermal behavior of the primary first-wall (FW) system of fusion reactor under various geometric and thermo-hydraulic conditions, such as the beryllium (Be) armor thickness, pitch of cooling tube, and coolant velocity. The FW consists of authentic steel (type 316 stainless steel solution annealed) for cooling tubes, Cu for cooling tubes embedding material, and Be for a protective armor, based on the International Thermonuclear Experiment Reactor (ITER) report. The present 2-D analysis, the control volume discretized with hybrid grid (rectangular grid and polar grid) and Gauss-Seidel iteration method are adapted to solve the governing equations. In the present study, geometric and thermo-hydraulic parameters are optimized with consideration of several limitations. Consequently, it is suggested that the adequate pitch of cooling tube is 22-32mm, the beryllium armor thickness is 10-12mm, and that the coolant velocity is 4.5m/s-6m/s for $100^{\circ}C$ of inlet coolant temperature. The cooling tube should locate near beryllium armor. But, it would be better for locating the center of Cu wall, considering problems of material and manufacturing. Also, 2-D analysis neglecting the axial temperature distribution of cooling tube is appropriate, regarding the discretization error in axial direction.

For investigating rubber pad sheet metal forming process, the rubber pad deformation characteristics as well as the contact problem of rubber pad-sheet metal has been analyzed. In this paper, the behavior of the rubber deformation is represented by hyper-elastic constitutive relations based on a generalized Mooney-Rivlin model. Finite element procedures for the two-dimensional responses, employing total Lagrangian formulations are implemented in an implicit form. The volumetric incompressibility condition of the rubber deformation is included in the formulation by using penalty method. The sheet metal is characterized by elasto-plastic material with strain hardening effect and analyzed by a commercial code. The contact procedure and interface program between rubber pad and sheet metal are implemented. Inflation experiment of circular rubber pad identifies the behaviour of the rubber pad deformation during the process. The various form dies and scaled down apparatus of the rubber-pad forming process are fabricated for simulating realistic forming process. The obtaining experimental data and FEM solutions were compared. The numerical solutions illustrate fair agreement with experimental results. The forming pressure distribution according to the dimensions of sheet metal and rubber pads, various rubber models and rubber material are also compared and discussed.

컴퓨터 기술의 발달과 더불어 수치해석을 이용한 파랑변형에 대한 연구는 꾸준히 발전하고 있으며 점점 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있다. 하지만 수치모형을 이용한 연구에는 다양한 문제점이 발생할 우려가 있는데, 그 중 가장 빈번하게 발생하는 문제 중의 하나가 파랑의 조파지점에서 발생하는 수치수조내로의 재반사 문제이다. 재반사를 막기 위한 방법으로는 내부조파 기법을 이용하는 것이 일반적이다. Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형에서는 질량 원천항을 이용한 내부조파 기법을 주로 사용해 왔으나, 기존의 연구는 대부분 연직 2차원 수치모형을 이용한 연구에 국한되어 있었다. 그러나 3차원 수치모형을 이용한 연구가 점차 활발해지면서 3차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형의 내부조파 기법에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 최근 RANS(Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식 모형에서 Boussinesq 방정식의 운동량 원천항을 활용하여 파랑을 내부조파하는 기법이 발표되어 3차원 공간에서 경사지게 입사하는 파랑을 성공적으로 재현하였다. 본 연구에서는 LES(large eddy simulation) 기반의 3차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식 수치모형에 운동량 원천항을 이용한 내부조파 기법을 적용하여 목표파랑을 조파하고 해석해와 비교하여 이를 검증하였다.
