It is important to predict the main feature of fully developed turbulent secondary flow through infinite triangular arrays of parallel rod bundles. One-equation turbulence model which include anisotropic eddy viscosity model was applied to predict the exact velocity field. For a constant properties, Reynolds equations were solved by the finite element method. Mean axial velocity near the wall is simulated by the law of the wall. The numerical results showed good agreement with avaiable experimental data. The strength of the secondary flow increased with Reynolds number but decreased with rod spacing, P/D (pitch-to-diameter). The secondary flow affects remarkably the distribution of the axial velocity, wall shear stress and turbulent kinetic energy in the closely packed rod array bundles.

The thermal distributions near the growth interface of 150nm CZ crystals were measured by three thermocouples installed at the center, middle (half radius) and edge (10nm from surface) of the crystals. The results show that larger growth rates produced smaller thermal gradients. This contradicts the widely used heat flux balance equation. Using this fact, it is confirmed in CZ crystals that the type of point defects created is determined by the value of the thermal gradient(G) near the interface during growth, as already reported for FZ crystals. Although depending on the growth systems the effective length of the thermal gradient for defect generation are varied, we defined the effective length as 10n,\m from th interface in this experiment. If the G is roughly smaller than 20C/cm, vacancy rich CZ crystals are produced. If G is larger than 25C/cm, the species of point defects changes dramatically from vacancies to interstitials. The experimental results after detaching FZ and CZ crystals from the melt show that growth interfaces are filled with vacancies. We propose that large G produces shrunk lattice spacing and in order to relax such lattice excess interstitials are necessary. Such interstitials recombine with vacancies which were generated at the growth interface, nest occupy interstitial sites and residuals aggregate themselves to make stacking faults and dislocation loops during cooling. The shape of the growth interface is also determined by te distributions of G across the interface. That is, the small G and the large G in the center induce concave and convex interfaces to the melts, respectively.

In this paper, ozonizer of neon discharge tube type( Neolamp ) by using silent discharge has been designed and manufactured. The discharge and ozone generation characteristics of Neolamp have been studied with variation of turn-on number( N ) of Neolamp, quality( Q ) and shape of external electrode. The discharge voltage is proportional to gap spacing of spiral external electrode( G ) for constant applied volatge. The discharge current is inversely proportional to G for constant applied volatge. The ozone concentration is inversely proportional to Q and G. Also, ozone concentration and generation are proportional to N. The sterilization characteristics of Escherichia coil have been obtained more than 97[%] at $1.30[mg/{\ell}]$ of liquid ozone concentration.

Applicability of constructing piled raft foundations on soft clay has been given attention in recent years. Lack of sufficient stiffness for soil and thus excessive settlements to allow higher contribution of piles is the major concern in this regard. This paper presents a numerical investigation of performance of piled-raft foundations on soft clay with focusing on a case study. A 3D FEM numerical model is developed using ABAQUS. The model was calibrated by comparing physical and numerical modeling results of other researchers. Then the possibility of using piled-raft system in construction of foundation for a water storage tank in Sarbandar, Iran is assessed. Soil strength parameters in the numerical model were calibrated using the instrumentation data of a heavily instrumented preloading project at the construction site. The results indicate that choosing the proper combination of length and spacing for piles can lead to acceptable differential and total settlements while a high percentage of total bearing capacity of piles can be mobilized, which is an efficient solution for the project. Overall, the construction of piled-rafts on soft clays is promising as long as the total settlement of the structure is not imposing restrictions such as the common 25 mm allowable settlement. But instead, if higher allowable settlements are adopted, for example in the case of rigid steel tanks, the method shall be applicable with considerable cost savings.

하천 내 설치하는 수제는 제방보호 및 유로변경의 목적으로 하천내 시공되는 구조물 중의 하나로서 하천복원과정에 있어 필수불가결한 구조물 중의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 수제는 대개 하나 이상의 일련의 군집형태로 수로 자체의 특성을 고려하여 설치가 되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 수제의 무분별한 설치는 주변 경관을 저해하는 요소로 나타날 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 시공에 따른 비용에 적지 않은 부담을 야기 시키기 충분하다.본 실험에서는 하향수제($\theta=135^{\circ}$)를 대상으로 수제간격에 대한 이동상 실험을 수행하여 수제주변 및 수제역 내에서 발생하는 하상변동특성을 검토하고자 하였다. 실험은 폭 1.2m, 길이 50m, 높이 1.5m 인 직선수로에서 수로폭의 15%길이를 갖는 하향수제($\theta=135^{\circ}$) 2개를 대상으로 각각 수제길이의 2~ 8배의 간격 조절을 통해 하상변동실험을 수행 하였다. 실험용입자는 중간입경($d_{50}$)이 0.15mm 인 모래를 사용하였으며 6시간 동안 통수하였다. 실험 결과 수제의 간격이 4배 미만으로 설치되었을 때 전면부 수제에서 발생하는 세굴의 영향이 후면부 수제 설치지점에 연장되어 나타나는 것이 확인 되었으며 수제간격이 7배 일 경우 전면부 수제에서 발생하는 최대세굴과 같은 세굴심이 관측되었다. 또한 수제간격이 4배이상으로 설치될 경우 후면부 수제에서 독립적인 세굴이 발생하고 있었는데 이는 직각수제 세굴과 동일한 현상으로 나타났다.

In this study, the electrical characteristics of high-voltage LDMOSFET fabricated by the existing CMOS technology were investigated depending on its process and design parameter. In order to verify the experimental data, two-dimensional device simulation was carried out simultaneously. The off- state breakdown voltages of n-channel LDMOSFETs were increased nearly in proportional to the drift region length. For the case of decreasing n-well ion implant doses from $1.0\times{10}^{13}/cm^2$ to $1.0\times{10}^{12}/cm^2$, the off-state breakdown voltage was increased approximately two times. The on-resistance was also increased about 76 %. From 2-D simulation, the increase in the breakdown voltage was attributed to a reduction in the maximum electric field of LDMOS imolanted with low dose as well as to a shift toward n+ drain region. Moreover, the on- and off-state breakdown voltages were also linearly increased with increasing the channel to n-tub spacing due to the reduction of impact ionization at the drift region. The experimental and design data of these high-voltage LDMOS devices can widely applied to design smart power ICs with low-voltage CMOS control and high-voltage driving circuits on the same chip.

Nowadays, to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the automotive driving system, the computer simulation linked up with VR(Virtual Reality) technology is treated as the useful method with the improvement of computing ability. In this paper, the VR simulation system has been developed to investigate the driving characteristics of the ASV(Advanced Safety Vehicle) equipped with an ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control) system. For the purpose, VR environment which generates 3D graphic and sound information of the vehicle, the road, the facilities, and the terrain has been organized for the driving reality. Mathematical models of vehicle dynamic analysis including the ACC model have been constructed for computer simulation. The ACC modulates the throttle and brake functions to regulate the vehicle speed so that vehicles could keep proper spacing. Also, the real-time simulation algorithm synchronizes vehicle dynamic simulation with the graphic rendering. With the developed VR simulation system, simple scenarios are applied to analyze the dynamic characteristics. It is shown that the VR simulation system could be useful to evaluate the adaptive cruise controlled vehicle on various driving conditions.

In the present study, laboratory pull-out tests with screw anchors are carried out to investigate behavior characteristics of the anchors used in foundation system of underground structures which are applied to uplifting seepage forces. Small scaled pull-out tests in sand under saturated condition and dry condition were carried out. For estimating the group effects of the anchors, the upward displacement and the pullout load varied with spacing of the anchor were observed. The test results were compared with theoretical equation for the ultimate pull-out force. Also, the result of tests can be used to the finite element analysis program, $PENTAGON^{2D}$.

Recent development in multi-channel surround is emerging in various formats to provide better stereoscopic and sound effects to consumers in recent broadcasting. The ability sound localize the sound sources in space is most considerable design factor on multi-channel surround system for human earing perception model. However, this paper propose the change of the sound localization according to the spacing of the speakers, which is not covered in the existing research focus on sound system design. Presently the sound system uses the position and number of the speakers to localize the sound. In the multi-channel surround environment, the proposed design uses the sound localization is caused by the directional characteristics of the speaker, the distance between the speakers and the distance between the listener and the speaker according to the directivity is required. The proposed design is simulated using virtual measurement with MATLAB simulation environment and performances are measured.
