This paper presents a numerical optimization of louvered fins to enhance the JF factor in terms of the design parameters, including the fin pitch, the number of louvers, the louver angle, the fin thickness, and the re-direction louver length. We carried out a parametric study to select the three most important parameters affecting the JF factor, which were the fin pitch, number of louvers, and the louver angle. We optimally designed the louvered fin by using 3rd-order full factorial design, the kriging method, and a micro genetic algorithm. Consequently, the JF factor of the optimum model increased by 16% compared to that of the base model. Moreover, the optimum model reduced the pressure drop by 17% with a comparable heat transfer rate.

The results of a numerical investigation pertaining to the hysteretic behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular (CFT) column to I-beam connections are discussed in detail. Following the verification of the numerical results against the available experimental tests, the nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis was implemented to evaluate the effects of different parameters including the column axial load, beam lateral support, shape and arrangement of stiffeners, stiffness of T-stiffeners, and the number of shear stiffeners. Pursuing this objective, an external CFT column to beam connection, tested previously, was selected as the case-study. The lateral forces on the structure were simulated, albeit approximately, using an incremental cyclic loading reversal applied at the beam tip. The results were compared in terms of hysteretic load-displacement curves, stress distributions in connection, strength, rotation, and energy dissipation capacity. It was shown that external T-stiffeners combined with internal shear stiffeners play an important role in the hysteretic performance of CFT columns to I-beam connections.

The Korean Tilting Train eXpress may produced a strong micro-pressure wave in tunnel exit because of large train/tunnel area ration of conventional railways. This micro-pressure wave causes an impulsive noise which is a serious environmental noise pollution near tunnel exit. Tunnel hood can be the method of reducing the micro-pressure wave in tunnel exit. Therefore, parametric studies for tunnel hood are performed with respect to the hood length and size to investigate the effects of the tunnel hood. Also, axi-symmetric unsteady compressible flow solver was used to analyze train-tunnel relative motion. According to the result of numerical analysis, the maximum micro-pressure wave in tunnel exit is reduced by 56% throughout the hood establishment on conventional railways.

Motion of a bubble inside narrow tube is numerically studied. The numerical code assumes axi-symmetric incompressible flow field. The surface of the bubble is captured by VOF (Volume Of Fluid) method, and it is advected by MARS (Multiphase Advection and Reconstruction Scheme). Air bubble inside water is first studied, and it was found that a strong vortex, which is induced by the pressure difference caused by the surface tension, is formed at the rear part of the bubble. Then flow parameters are parametrically varied to understand the correlation between the bubble shape, the bubble velocity, and the flow parameters. The parametric study revealed that the aspect ratio of the bubble mainly depends on We number, and the oscillation of the bubble speeds is dependent on Re number.

A numerical approach is presented for the analysis of the forced vibration of a rigid surface foundation with arbitrary shape. In the analysis, the foundation is discretized into a number of sub squaree-lements. The dynamic response within each sub-element is described by the Green's function, which is obtained by the Fourier-Bessel transform and Precise Integration Method (PIM). Incorporating the displacement boundary condition and force equilibrium of the foundation, it obtains a system of linear algebraic equation in terms of the contact forces within each sub-element. Solving the equation leads to the desired dynamic impedance functions of the foundation. Numerical results are obtained for foundation not only with simple geometrical configurations, such as rectangular and circular foundation, but also the case of irregularly shaped foundation. Several comparisons between the proposed approach and other methods are made. Very good agreement is reached. Also, parametric studies are carried out on the dynamic response of foundation. Addressed in this study are the effects of Poisson's ratio, material damping and contact condition of soil-foundation interface. Several conclusions are drawn the significance of the factors.

This paper addresses the numerical study on the dynamics of the High-speed EMU to enhance the ride quality. The 17 and 34 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) dynamic models for a single railway vehicle are proposed, and its vibrational characteristics according to the nonuniform rail profile are analyzed via Matlab. The validity of the proposed 34-DOF model are verified by comparing its dynamic characteristics and those from ADAMS/Rail. In addition, the critical dynamic parameters are identified by the parametric analysis, and rough design variables to reduce the vibration level of the railway vehicle are proposed. Finally, the frequency analysis - FFT - are conducted to extract the resonant frequencies, which have a significant influence on the determination of the critical speed of the railway vehicle. It is demonstrated that the results from the Matlab-based numerical analysis of the 34-DOF dynamic model are similar to those from ADAMS/Rail.

Wall jet flow exists widely in engineering applications, including the simulation of thunderstorm downburst outflows, and has been investigated extensively by both experimental and numerical methods. Most previous studies focused on the scaling laws and self-similarity, while the effect of lip thickness and external stream height on mean velocity has not been examined in detail. The present work is a numerical study, using steady Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) simulations at a Reynolds number of $3.5{\times}10^4$, of a turbulent plane wall jet with an external stream to investigate the influence of the wall jet domain on downstream development of the flow. The comparisons of flow characteristics simulated by the Reynolds stress turbulence model closure (Stress-omega, SWRSM) and experimental results indicate that this model may be considered reasonable for simulating the wall jet. The confined wall jet is further analyzed in a parametric study, with the results compared to the experimental data. The results indicate that the height and the width of the wind tunnel and the lip thickness of the jet nozzle have a great effect on the wall jet development. The top plate of the tunnel does not confine the development of the wall jet within 200b of the nozzle when the height of the tunnel is more than 40b (b is the height of jet nozzle). The features of the centerline flow in the mid plane of the 3D numerical model are close to those of the 2D simulated plane wall jet when the width of the tunnel is more than 20b.

본 논문에서는 유한차분해석 프로그램인 FLAC을 이용하여 사질토 지반을 지지하는 지하연속벽을 모델링 하고, 내진해석을 수행하였다. 그리고 수치해석 결과를 동일한 조건에서 수행된 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하여, 흙막이 구조물의 내진해석을 위한 수치 모델링의 적정성을 검증하였다. 전반적으로 벽체에 발생한 모멘트 분포도가 매우 유사하였고, 지하연속벽의 상단과 배면지반에서 산정한 가속도의 최대값이 약 5%이내의 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 검증된 모델을 활용하여 다양한 지반조건과 굴착조건, 그리고 입력하중 조건에서 동적 수치해석 변수연구를 수행하였다. 지진 중 가시설 벽체와 지보재에 발생한 최대 응력을 굴착 중 발생한 최대 응력과 비교하여, 내진설계가 필요한 흙막이 가시설 조건을 개략적으로 선정하였다. 토사지반을 지지하는 흙막이 벽체는 재현주기 100년의 지진하중에 의해 벽체 모멘트가 최대 17%까지 증가하였고, 특히 느슨한 토사층에 위치한 지보재는 최대 32%까지 축력이 증가하여 구조설계를 위한 내진해석이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

지열은 고효율 신재생에너지로 각광을 받고 있으며 건축물의 냉난방 설비 시스템으로 활용이 점차 확산되고 있다. 지열 히트펌프 중에서 지하수를 열원으로 사용하는 단일심정(Standing column well)은 특히 효율이 높고 초기설치비용이 저렴하며 국내 지반 수리조건에 적합하다. 반면, 국내에는 아직 SCW의 성능을 평가할 수 있는 수치해석 모델이 없으며 국내 자료를 적용한 수치해석이 수행된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 SCW 수치해석 모델을 유한체적해석 프로그램을 이용하여 구축하였다. 수치적 모델은 수리 열 연계해석을 수행하여 열이류, 대류, 전도를 모두 모사한다. SCW 모델은 미국과 국내에서 계측된 현장 데이터를 통하여 검증하였다. 비교 결과 본 연구에서 구축된 수치해석 모델은 정확하게 SCW의 거동을 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 검증된 수치해석 모델은 동반논문에서 매개변수연구에 활용되었다.

본 연구에서는 사질토층을 지나 풍화암에 4D 소켓된 매입 PHC말뚝에 대하여 PHC말뚝 직경과 길이 및 사질토 지반의 N값에 따른 매개변수 수치해석을 실시하였다. PHC말뚝과 지반은 Mohr-Coulomb의 탄 소성모델을 적용하였으며, 말뚝 주변 경계면은 가상두께의 인터페이스를 설정하였다. 10종류 직경의 PHC말뚝에 대한 수치해석 결과를 분석하여 사질토의 N값에 따른 말뚝머리 하중-침하 곡선과 말뚝의 근입길이에 따른 축하중 분포도 곡선을 구하였다. 또한 이들 결과로부터 각 하중 성분과 침하 사이의 관계 곡선을 구하였으며, 하중 성분은 전체 하중, 전체 주면마찰하중, 사질토의 주면마찰하중, 풍화암의 주면마찰하중 및 풍화암의 선단하중으로 구분하였다. 수치해석으로부터 구한 하중-침하 곡선에서 변곡상태가 나타나는 하중을 분석한 결과, 대체로 변곡상태를 나타내는 하중 단계는 말뚝 직경의 약 5~7% 수준의 침하량으로 나타났으며, 안전측으로 말뚝직경의 5% 침하량에 해당하는 하중으로 평가하였다. 이 하중 단계를 동원지지력($Q_m$)으로 정의하였으며, 본 연구의 지지력 분석에 사용하였다. 매개변수 수치해석 결과, PHC 말뚝 직경, 상대근입길이 및 사질토의 N값에 관계없이 SRF는 평균적으로 70% 이상으로 나타났다. 또한 전체마찰지지력에서 사질토의 주면마찰지지력이 평균 80% 이상으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 매입 PHC말뚝의 지지력 산정에 이용할 수 있으며, 또한 새로운 지지력 산정방법 제안을 위한 연구에도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
