In this paper, wind induced aerodynamic loads on a standard tall building have been evaluated through large-eddy simulation (LES) technique. The flow parameters of an open terrain were recorded from the downstream of an empty boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT) and used to prescribe the transient inlet boundary of the LES simulations. Three different numerically generated inflow boundary conditions have been investigated to assess their suitability for LES. A high frequency pressure integration (HFPI) approach has been employed to obtain the wind load. A total of 280 pressure monitoring points have been systematically distributed on the surfaces of the LES model building. Similar BLWT experiments were also done to validate the numerical results. In addition, the effects of adjacent buildings were studied. Among the three wind field generation methods (synthetic, Simirnov's, and Lund's recycling method), LES with perturbation from the synthetic random flow approach showed better agreement with the BLWT data. In general, LES predicted peak wind loads comparable with the BLWT data, with a maximum difference of 15% and an average difference of 5%, for an isolated building case and however higher estimation errors were observed for cases where adjacent buildings were placed in the vicinity of the study building.

Tube oscillation behaviour is experimentally investigated for the study on the fuel rod fretting that is caused by the flow-induced vibration in nuclear reactor. The experiment was conducted in all at room temperature. The specimen of tube assembly was supported by plate springs which simulated the spacer grids and fuel rods of a fuel assembly. To investigate the influence of contact condition between the grids and rods, normal load of 10 and 5 N, gaps of 0.1 and 0.3 mm were applied. The range of the oscillation at the center of the fuel rod specimen was varied as 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 mm to simulate the fuel rod vibration due to flow. Displacements near the contact were measured with four displacement sensors during the tube oscillation. As results, the shape of oscillation (phase) varied depending on the contact condition. The oscillation displacement increased considerably from the contact to gap condition. The displacement increased further as the gap size increased. It is regarded that the spring shape influences the tube oscillation behaviour. Simple calculation showed that the slip displacement was very small. Therefore, cumulative damage concept is necessary for the fuel rod wear. The mechanism of plowing is thought required to explain the severe wear in the case of gap existence.

In this study, Cu-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) coatings were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) process with different process conditions (with- and without hydrogen gas). As adding the hydrogen gas, thermal energy in the plasma flame increased and induced difference in the melting state of the Cu-based BMG particles. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the coatings were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with an energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and nano-indentation tester in the light of phase analysis. It was elucidated by the nano-indentation tests that un-melted region was a mainly amorphous phase which showed discrete plasticity observed as the flow serrations on the load.displacement (P - h) curves, and the curves of solidified region showed lower flow serrations as amorphous phase mingled with crystalline phase. Oxides produced during the spraying process had the highest hardness value among the phases and were well mixed with other phases resulted from the increase in melting degree.

Many factors should be considered by architects and designers for designing a tall building. Wind load is one of these important factors that govern the design of tall building structures and can become a serious challenge when buildings tend to be built very tall and slender. On the other hand, through the initial stages of a design process, choosing the design geometry greatly affects the wind-induced forces on a tall building. With this respect, geometric shapes with 3-fold rotational symmetry are one of the applied plan shapes in tall buildings. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of 8 different geometrical shapes using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) by measuring the drag and lift forces. A case study approach was conducted in which different building shape models have the same total gross area and the same height of 300 meters. The simulation was an incompressible transient flow that ran 1700 timesteps (85 seconds on the real-time scale). The results show a great difference between wind-induced force performance of buildings with different plan shapes. Generally, it is stated that the shapes with the same area, but with smaller perimeters, are better choices for reducing the drag force on buildings. Applying the lift force, the results show that the buildings with plan shapes that have rounded corners act better in crosswind flow while, those with sharp corners induce larger forces in the same direction. This study delivers more analytical understanding of building shapes and their behavior against the wind force through the parametric modelling.

최근 다양한 형태의 전기추진 항공기가 개발 중이다. 전기추진 항공기에 장착되는 프로펠러의 위치는 항공기 공력성능에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 날개 앞에 장착된 프로펠러는 프로펠러 주변과 하류방향으로 복잡한 선회 유동(Swirl Flow)을 발생시킨다. 선회 유동으로 발생하는 올려흐름과 내리흐름은 날개의 유효받음각에 영향을 미친다. 날개의 길이 분포 방향으로 발생하는 유효받음각 분포변화는 날개의 공력 하중분포에 영향을 준다. 본 연구에서는 날개에 장착된 프로펠러의 위치가 변화하면서 발생하는 프로펠러-날개 상호작용이 날개의 공력 하중분포에 미치는 영향을 연구했다. 프로펠러-날개 상호작용이 날개에 미치는 영향을 해석하기 위해, 프로펠러에 의한 선회 유동을 Actuator Disk Theory를 사용하여 나타냈다. VSPAERO를 사용하여 날개에서 발생하는 공력을 계산했다. 본 연구방법을 사용하여 얻은 계산결과는 프로펠러-날개 모델을 사용한 풍동시험 자료와 비교·검증했다. 연구결과 프로펠러와 날개 사이의 거리가 날개의 공력특성에 미치는 영향은 크게 나타났다. 축방향 및 날개길이 방향의 거리 증가는 양항비를 증가시켰다. 프로펠러가 날개 상단에 위치할 경우 더 큰 양항비를 얻을 수 있었다.

Flow induced vibration in steam generators has caused dynamic interactions between tubes and contacting materials resulting in fretting wear . Series of experiments have been performed to examine the wear properties of Inconel 690 steam generator tubes in various environmental conditions. For the present study, the test rig was designed to examine the fretting wear and rolling wear properties in high temperature(room temperature - 290。C) water. The test was performed at constant applied load and sliding distance to investigate the effect of test temperature on wear properties of the steam generator tube materials. To investigate the wear mechanism of material, the worn was observed using scanning electron microscopy. The weight loss increase at higher test temperature was caused by the decrease of water viscosity and the mechanical property change of tube material. The mechanical property changes of steam generator tube material, such as decrease of hardness or yield stress in the high temperature tests. From the SEM observation of worn surfaces, the severe wear scars were observed in specimens tested at the higher temperature.

The present study revealed comparison the pressure distribution on the surfaces of regular cross plan shaped building with angular cross plan shaped building which is being transformed from basic cross plan shaped building through the variation of internal angles between limbs by $15^{\circ}$ for various wind incidence angle from $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$ at an interval of $30^{\circ}$. In order to maintain the area same the limbs sizes are slightly increased accordingly. Numerical analysis has been carried out to generate similar nature of flow condition as per IS: 875 (Part -III):1987 (a mean wind velocity of 10 m/s) by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with help of ANSYS CFX ($k-{\varepsilon}$ model). The variation of mean pressure coefficients, pressure distribution over the surface, flow pattern and force coefficient are evaluated for each cases and represented graphically to understand extent of nonconformities due to such angular modifications in plan. Finally regular cross shaped building results are compared with wind tunnel results obtained from similar '+' shaped building study with similar flow condition. Reduction in along wind force coefficients for angular crossed shaped building, observed for various skew angles leads to develop lesser along wind force on building compared to regular crossed shaped building and square plan shaped building. Interference effect within the internal faces are observed in particular faces of building for both cases, considerably. Significant deviation is noticed in wind induced responses for angular cross building compared to regular cross shaped building for different direction wind flow.

The plate-type fuel assembly adopted in nuclear research reactor suffers from complicated effect induced by non-uniform irradiation, which might affect its stress conditions, mechanical behavior and thermal-hydraulic performance. A reliable numerical method is of great importance to reveal the complex evolution of mechanical deformation, flow redistribution and temperature field for the plate-type fuel assembly under non-uniform irradiation. This paper is the first part of a two-part study developing the numerical methodology for the thermal-fluid-structure coupling behaviors of plate-type fuel assembly under irradiation. In this paper, the thermal-fluid-structure coupling methodology has been developed for plate-type fuel assembly under non-uniform irradiation condition by exchanging thermal-hydraulic and mechanical deformation parameters between Finite Element Model (FEM) software and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software with Mesh-based parallel Code Coupling Interface (MpCCI), which has been validated with experimental results. Based on the established methodology, the effects of non-uniform irradiation and fluid were discussed, which demonstrated that the maximum mechanical deformation with irradiation was dozens of times larger than that without irradiation and the hydraulic load on fuel plates due to differential pressure played a dominant role in the mechanical deformation.

산업부문은 생산 활동을 담당하는 특성 때문에 많은 에너지를 소비하고 많은 $CO_2$를 배출한다. 산업부문 중에서 에너지다소비산업이라고 일컬어지는 산업들은 다른 산업에 비해서 에너지소비가 많고 $CO_2$ 배출을 많이 하므로 관련정책의 목표대상으로서 우선적으로 거론된다. 그러나 해당 산업의 생산액과 $CO_2$ 배출량을 사용하는 환경원단위는 해당 산업만의 환경오염물질 배출의 정도를 측정하기에는 적합하지만, 산업들이 유기적으로 연결되어 서로 생산품을 수요하고 공급하고 있는 점을 고려한다면 환경원단위를 확대시킨, 그리고 산업 전체를 고려하는 지표로 해당 산업의 환경물질의 배출 정도를 평가해야 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 우리나라의 환경산업연관표 2000을 작성하고, 에너지다소비산업 외에 전 산업을 대상으로 하여 산출액기준 및 열량기준의 환경원단위와, 이를 보다 확대하고 산업의 유기적 관계까지를 모두 고려하는 유발 $CO_2$ 발생량을 추정하여 우리나라의 경제주체간 및 산업간의 상품생산과 흐름에 수반되는 에너지소비와 환경오염물질의 흐름을 분석하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 산출액기준 및 열량기준의 환경원단위가 상대적으로 높은 산업들의 유발 $CO_2$ 발생량은 크다. 이 산업들은 직접적으로 발생시키는 $CO_2$가 많은 산업들이며, 환경부하가 큰 재화나 서비스를 생산한다. 그러므로 이 산업들을 대상으로 환경원단위 저감을 유도한다면 $CO_2$ 발생량을 감소시킬 수 있다. 그러나 환경원단위가 낮은 산업의 생산 시에 환경원단위가 높은 산업들의 생산품이 투입재로 사용된다면 그 산업의 유발 $CO_2$ 발생량은 커지고 경제 전체의 환경부하를 크게 만든다. 따라서 산출액기준의 환경원단위가 높은 산업들만을 중심으로 하여 환경원단위를 저하시키는 것 외에, 낮은 환경원단위를 갖는 산업들의 환경원단위도 지속적으로 감소시켜 다른 산업에 대한 연관을 통한 유발 $CO_2$ 발생량을 감소시켜야 한다. 이는 모든 산업에 대한 지속적인 환경원단위 저감이 경제 전체를 기준으로 더 큰 $CO_2$ 발생량 저감을 유도하는 것을 의미한다.

The present work develops a method of evaluating thrust deduction and wake for different loads of the propeller using the concerted application of the theoretical tools and experimental techniques. It also shows the applicability of the new method to the design of optimum hull form. Firstly, the problem of hull-propeller interaction was analyzed in terms of inviscid as well as viscous components of the thrust deduction and wake. The wavemaking resistance of a hull and propeller were mathematically represented by sources on the hull surface and sink on the propeller plane, respectively. The strength of sink was determined by utilizing the radial distributions of propeller load and nominal wake. The resistance increment due to a propeller and the axial perturbation flow induced by the hull in the propeller plane were calculated. Especially, the inviscid component of the thrust deduction was calculated by subtraction the wavemaking resistance of a bare hull, the wavemaking resistance of a free-running propeller and the augmentation of propeller resistance due to hull action from the wavemaking resistance of the hull with a propeller. The viscous components of the thrust deduction and wake were estimated as functions of propeller load which were established by the propeller load varying test after deduction the calculated inviscid components. Secondly, an analysis method of powering performance was developed based on the potential theory and the propeller load varying test. The hybrid method estimates the thrust deduction, wake and propeller open-water efficiency for different propeller load. This method can be utilized in the analysis of powering performance for the propeller load variation such as the added resistance due to hull surface roughness, the added resistance due to wind, etc. Finally, the hybrid method was applied to the optimum design of hull form. A series of afterbody shapes was obtained by systematically varying the waterplane and section shapes of a parent afterbody without changing the principal dimensions, block coefficient and prismatic coefficient. From the comparison of the predicted results such as wavemaking resistance, thrust deduction, wake and delivered power, an optimum hull form was obtained. The delivered power of the optimized hull form was reduced by 5.7% which was confirmed by model tests. Also the predicted delivered power by the hybrid method shows fairly good agreement with the test result. It is therefore considered that the new analysis method of powering performance can be utilized as a practical tool for the design of optimum hull form as for the analysis of powering performance for the propeller load variation in the preliminary design stage.
