Sediment erosion is one of the key challenges in hydraulic turbines from a design and maintenance perspective in Himalayas. The present study focuses on choosing the best design in terms of blade angle distribution of a Francis turbine runner which has least erosion effect without influencing the efficiency and the structural integrity. A fully coupled Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI) analysis was performed through a multi-field solver, which showed that the maximum stress induced in the optimized design for better sediment handling, is less than that induced in the reference design. Some numerical validation techniques have been shown for both CFD and FSI analysis.

Scour at bridge pier is a complicated three-dimensional problem involving interaction of fluld force on movable aid nonuniformily distributed sand grains. Although several analytical solution approaches, experimental research and field investigations for scout at piers have been conducted, no comprehensive and universally acceptable solution is so far available. Even though many methods and equations for predicting scour at piers are available in the literature, hydraulic and/or bridge design engineers are often at a loss over which method or equation is applicable for the specific bridge sites. To provide better understanding about scour phenomena and better predicting of scour at piers, intensive research is conducted through comprehensive review of published literature. Based on the research the state-of-the-art of pier scour prediction for design application is provided as a design guide for practicing engineers in this field. Recommendations for applying aggradation and degradation, contraction scour, and local scour prediction methods or equations are suggested. It is hoped that this paper may provide good information for the prediction of scour at piers.

An analysis refinement of the Messina Strait suspension bridge project has been recently required, concerning mainly the yaw angle effects on the multi-box deck section aerodynamics and the vortex shedding at low reduced velocities $V^*$. In particular the possible interaction of the axial flow with the large cross beams has been investigated. An original test rig has been designed at this purpose allowing for both forced motion and free motion aero elastic tests, varying the average angle of attack ${\alpha}$ and the deck yaw angle ${\beta}$. The hydraulic driven test rig allowed for both dynamic and stationary tests so that both the stationary coefficients and the flutter derivatives have been evaluated for each yaw angle. Specific free motion tests, taking advantage from the aeroelastic features of the section model, allowed also the study of the vortex shedding induced phenomena.

The STELLA program was launched to support the PGSFR development in 2012 and for the 2nd stage, the STELLA-2 facility was designed to investigate the integral effect of safety systems including the comprehensive interaction among PHTS, IHTS and DHRS. In STELLA-2, the long-term transient behavior after accidents can be observed and the overall safety aspect can also be evaluated. In this paper, the basic design concept from engineering basis to specific design is described. The design was aimed to meet similarity criteria and requirements based on various non-dimensional numbers and the result satisfied the key features to explain the reasoning of safety evaluation. The result of this study was used to construct the facility and the experiment is on-going. In general, the final design meets the similarity criteria of the multidimensional physics inside the reactor pool. And also, for the conservation of natural circulation phenomena, the design meets the similarity requirements of geometry and thermo-dynamic behavior.

터빈 블레이드의 내부냉각 설계 강화를 위해 설치된 경사요철과 가이드 베인에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 채널의 입구로 들어오는 공기와 요철이 만나는 각도를 기준으로, 서로 상반된 두 가지 요철배열을 전연면과 후연면에 평행하게 배치하였다. 채널의 종횡비(AR)는 5:1이고, 요철의 각도는 $60^{\circ}$, 요철의 높이와 요철간 간격 비($e/D_h$)는 0.075이다. 레이놀즈 수는 10,000으로 고정하였다. 요철배열에 따른 2차 유동과 딘 와류의 상호작용이 곡관부와 전체 채널의 열전달 결과와 유동특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 첫 번째 유로의 요철배열이 팁 면의 열전달 분포에 지배적인 요인이며, 곡관부에서 유동의 분포에도 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 U자 형상 가이드 베인을 사용하였을 때 모든 요철에서 팁 면의 열전달 값이 상승하였으며, 특히 공기와 요철의 충돌각도가 양의각도일 때 가장 높은 냉각성능계수를 보였다.

암반 구조물의 안정성을 분석하기 위해서는 암반 내 존재하는 불연속면의 전단거동 특성을 파악하는 것이 필수적이다. 특히 심부 지하에서의 암석 불연속면 마찰 거동 특성은 역학적, 수리적, 열적 및 화학적 조건과 각각의 조건들의 상호작용에 의해 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 열-수리-역학적 조건에서 불연속면의 전단 거동 특성을 파악하기 위해 매끈한 화강암 불연속면 시험편과 거칠기를 포함한 유사암석 불연속면 시험편을 대상으로 삼축압축장비를 이용한 전단실험을 수행하였다. Coulomb의 전단강도 예측식을 이용하여 실험결과를 분석한 바 화강암 시험편의 경우 실험 조건의 변화에 따라 마찰 거동에 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으나 유사암석 시험편의 경우 응력 수준에 따라 변화를 보였다. 실험 조건의 변화에 따른 강성 및 팽창각의 변화를 분석한 결과 온도 및 수압 조건의 변화에 따라서 크게 변화하지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

일반적(一般的)으로 대규모(大規模) 하천(河川)은 저수로(低水路)와 고수부지(高水敷地)를 갖는 복단면수로(複斷面水路)로 되어있다. 복단면(複斷面) 수로(修路)에 대한 일반적인 해석방법은 저수로(低水路)에서 고수부지(高水敷地)로의 운동량(運動量) 전달(傳達)을 무시하였기 때문에 소통능력을 과대하게 평가(評價)하는 경향을 보여왔다. 따라서 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 운동량(運動量) 전달(傳達)을 고려하여 비대칭 고수부지(高水敷地)를 갖는 구형단면(矩形斷面)의 실험수로(實驗水路)에서 실험(實驗)하였으며, 단면의 여러 점에서 유속(流速)을 측정(測定)하고 유속분포(流速分布)로부터 경계층의 전단응력을 계산하여 윤변을 따라 이를 적분(積分)하여 겉보기 전단력을 구한다. 그리고 복단면(複斷面) 수로(水路)에서의 수리학적(水理學的) 특성(特性)을 실험단면(實驗斷面)의 유속분포(流速分布), 경계층의 전단응력(剪斷應力), 그리고 겉보기 전단력 등의 여러 가지 관계로부터 규명하였다.

A plate type supporting structure of a tube bundle in axial flow generates a certain band of a high frequency periodic excitation of a vortex shedding and/or a flow separation due to sharp edge of the plate thickness and a severe pressure drop due to a cross-sectional area of the supports. With a design consideration of the low vibration and a small flow resistance, the analysis method is uniquely confined to an experimental approach because a complex geometry of a cylindrical tube bundle and/or physical phenomena related to the fluid-structure interaction of tube bundle in a flow impede a theoretical or a numerical approach. A 5x5 cylindrical tube bundle with 5 supports which were discretely located along the bundle's axis was tested in the FIVPET hydraulic test loop for a design evaluation and an analysis perspectives. A high frequency flow-induced vibration of the supporting structures of the cylindrical tube bundle was measured at a outer surface of a supporting structure through a transparent flow housing by the laser dopper vibrometer. Pressure drop in-between three measurement distances was measured by the differential pressure transmitter. High frequency vibration and pressure drop fairly depends on the geometric design of supporting structure. So, these two parameters would be used as a qualitative design variables for design evaluation and analysis.

Purpose: Postharvest handling of onions (harvesting, cleaning, grading, cooling, storing, and transport) should be performed continually to reduce costs and improve quality. The purpose of this study is to a) determine the design parameters and operating conditions of anion auto-dumping that constitutes a key component of the postharvest bulk handling machinery system, and b) to perform a performance test with the auto-dump prototype system. Methods: Kinematic analyses and computer simulations of the auto-dump mechanism were applied to analyze the operating conditions and design parameters. Results: The optimum working condition for the auto-dump was determined from kinetic analyses. In addition, the interaction between the velocity of the hydraulic cylinder and the angular velocity of the auto-dump were analyzed in order to control the bulk handling machinery system. The acting forces and optimum operating conditions of the hydraulic cylinder were determined by analyzing the forces related to the mass of inertia of the auto-dump assembly during rotation. The method of controlling the feeding rate of onions in terms of the uniformity of the stacking pattern and the control of the entire system was better than the two-stage method of controlling the rotational speed of the auto-dump. Based on the performance test with the prototype for the auto-dump, the stacking pattern and rigidity of the system were analyzed. Conclusions: These results would be of great importance in the postharvest bulk handling machinery system for onions.

인공동결공법은 일시적으로 지반의 강성을 높이고 투수계수를 낮추는 지반개량공법으로 지반에 적용가능하다. 하지만, 지하수 흐름과 지반의 불균질성은 동결구근 형성을 불확실하게 하여 공법에 대한 신뢰성을 저해한다. 동결지반 대한 열-수리 유한요소 해석 프로그램을 이용하여, 인공동결공법에서 지하수 흐름속도와 지반의 층상 비균질이 얼음벽 형성을 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 지하수의 흐름은 원형의 동결구근을 원형에서 타원형을 변형시키며 얼음벽의 완성 소요시간을 증가시킨다. 기존의 이론식은 인접 동결구근의 열적 상호작용을 무시하여, 얼음벽의 완결시간과 한계유속을 과대 평가하였다. 수치해석 결과를 바탕으로 수정식을 제시하였으며 무차원 얼음벽 완결시간에 대한 제안식을 검증하였다. 층상의 비균질 지반에서 투수계수가 큰 지층의 두께와 상대적인 투수계수비는 얼음벽 완결시간과 한계 유속에 중요한 인자인 것으로 나타났다.
