Flow over a protruding surface is investigated using numerical simulation. We consider flow between two parallel plates with a cube mounted on one side of the channel. As the flow approaches the cube, the adverse pressure gradient produces three-dimensional boundary-layer separation, resulting In the formation of horseshoe vortices. The objective of our study is to clarify both the steady and the unsteady characteristics of the vortex system. As the Reynolds number increases, the structure of the vortices near the cube becomes complex and the number of vortices increases. The distribution of skin friction on the cube-mounted wall reflects the effect of the horseshoe vortices. All these results are consistent with the experimental findings currently available.

Three-dimensional compressible turbulent flow fields within the passage of a diffusing S-duct have been simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations with SIMPLE scheme. The average inlet Mach number is 0.6 and the Reynolds number based on the inlet diameter is $1.76{\times}10^6$ The extended $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is applied to modeling the Reynolds stresses. Computed results of the flow in a circular diffusing S-duct provide an understanding of the flow structure within a typical engine inlet system. These are compared with experimental wall static-pressure, total-pressure fields, and secondary velocity profiles. Additionally, boundary layer thickness, skin friction values, and streamlines in the symmetric plane are presented. The computed results depict the interaction between the low energy flow by the flow separation and the high energy flow by the reversed duct curvature. The computed results obtained using the extended $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model.

The antiwear properties of amphiphilic monolayers and composite multilayer on silicon surface were investigated using micro­tribometer and Auger Electron Spectroscopy. Langmuir­Blodgett (LB) monolayers from behenic acid, 2,4­heneicosanedione(HD) and its lopper complex((HD)$_2$Cu) were fabricated on silicon surface and the composite multilayer of 5­bilayer of (HD)$_2$Cu was fabricated on the surface of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) self­assembled monolayer (SAM). We observed that LB monolayers and the composite multilayer exhibited a steady and excellent friction response when compared with the OTS SAM. These LB mono and multilayer also showed much higher wear­resistance than the OTS SAM.

Robot engineering is developed mainly in the field of intelligibility such as a manipulation. Considering the popularization of robots in the future, however, a robot should be studied from a viewpoint of saving energy because a robot is a kind of machine with a energy conversion. This paper deals with minimizing an energy consumption of a manipulator which is driven in a point-to-point control method. When a manipulator carries a heavy payload toward gravitation or the links are de-accelerated for positioning, the motors at joints generate electric energy. Since this energy can be regenerated to the source by using a chopper, the energy consumption of a manipulator is only heat loss by an electric and a frictional resistance of the motors. The minimization of the sum of these losses is reduced Lo a two-points boundary-value problem of an non-linear differential equation. The solutions are obtained by the generalized Newton-Raphson method in this paper. The energy consumption due to the optimum angular velocity patterns of two joints of a two-links manipulator is compared with conventional velocity patterns such as quadratic and trapezoid.

The control rod assemblies do freely fall into the reactor core by the gravity from the control rod drive mechanism. In order to achieve a rapid shutdown and control the reactor power, it is required to insert control rod assemblies as soon as possible. In this paper, we evaluated the drop time and flow characteristics caused around guide tube for SMART(System-integrated modular advanced reactor) control rod assembly. Numerical analyses are carried out with FLUENT program of computational fluid dynamics. This study results show that the drop time of the control rod assembly in the operating condition of SMART is more 20 percent rapidly than the drop time of the room temperature and ambient atmosphere condition.

Jeha Ryu Department of Mechatronics, Kwangju Institute of Science and Technology This paper presents an application of a robust adaptive control strategy to HexaSlide type six degrees-of-freedom parallel manipulators. The HexaSlide type parallel manipulators are characterized as an architecture with constant link lengths that are attached to moving sliders on the ground and to a mobile platform. The proposed control law is developed based on a simplified second order system dynamic equation in joint space with uncertain mass, damper, spring, and Coulomb friction terms. These uncertain parameters are updated by an adaptation law that is derived by Lyapunov stability theorem. A robust adaptive control law by using the boundary layer is designed for the purpose of compensating for the neglected dynamic effects of the mobile platform and the six moving links that are modeled as a disturbance term. Experimental results show good and fast tracking performance.

In this paper, incompressible two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are numerically solved for the study of steady laminar flow around a body with the wall effect. A second-order finite difference method is used for the spatial discretization on the nonstaggered grid system and the 4-stage Runge-Kutta scheme for the numerical integration in time. The pressure field is obtained by solving the pressure-Poisson equation with the Neumann boundary condition. To investigate the wall effect, numerical computations are carried out for the NACA 0012 section at the various blockage ratios. The pressure and skin friction on the foil surface, velocity pronto in its wake and drag coefficient are investigated as functions of the blockage ratio.

본 연구에서는 이러한 연구의 시작단계로 노즐내의 열 경계층 방정식을 정리하고 압축성 와점도모델을 도입하여 유한 차분법을 이용한 전산프로그램을 작성 하였다. 한편 실제로 추진모테에서는 고온 고속의 열기류가 분출되기 때문에 추진 하고 있는 동안 노즐벽을 형성하고 있는 내열재가 심하게 손상되어 표면의 상태가 매우 거칠게 된다. 더구나 경우에 따라서는 내열재가 용발(ablation)하게 된다. 이러한 상태를 감안하여 마찰계수와 열전달 계수를 합리적으로 추정해야만 노즐의 설계와 주변장치를 합리적으로 수행할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에는 주로 경계층 내의 압력구배, 압축성의 효과, 물성치의 변화를 고려한 기존 난류모델에 근거하여 프로그램을 작성하고, 이것을 토대로 노즐표면 조도의 영향 및 분출(blowing)의 영 향을 중점적으로 고려하여 그 특성을 연구하였다. 노즐벽에서 분출을 고려한 이유는 표면이 용발할 때 표면의 온도가 거의 일정하게 유지된 상태로 노즐표면이 화학작용을 수반하면서 가스화됨을 초보적으로 고려해보기 위함이다.

This present experimental study has dealt with the heat transfer characteristics of plastic particle slurry which flows in a circular tube. This type of slurry is suggested for heat transfer enhancement effect cause by random and vortex effect of plastic particle dispersed in water. As a result, the thermal boundary layer becomes thin so the heat transfer coefficient on the tube wall more increase compare to pure water flow. This experimental test section was composed with stainless pipe which has the length of 2000mm, inner pipe diameter of 14mm and outer pipe diameter of 60mm. The most effective and important parameter of this experiment is plastic packing factor(PPF). The focuses of these results are pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient. As results, the friction factor of plastic particle slurry becomes higher at laminar flow region than pure water because of buoyancy effect of plastic particle but the local heat transfer coefficient becomes higher.
