In this paper the effects of particle size and model scale of concrete have been investigated on point load index, tensile strength, and the failure processes using a PFC2D numerical modeling study. Circular and semi-circular specimens of concrete were numerically modeled using the same particle size, 0.27 mm, but with different model diameters of 75 mm, 54 mm, 25 mm, and 12.5 mm. In addition, circular and semi-circular models with the diameter of 27 mm and particle sizes of 0.27 mm, 0.47 mm, 0.67 mm, 0.87 mm, 1.07 mm, and 1.27 mm were simulated to determine whether they can match the experimental observations from point load and Brazilian tests. The numerical modeling results show that the failure patterns are influenced by the model scale and particle size, as expected. Both Is(50) and Brazilian tensile strength values increased as the model diameter and particle sizes increased. The ratio of Brazilian tensile strength to Is(50) showed a reduction as the particle size increased but did not change with the increase in the model scale.

복합원형 실린더군의 미소진폭 동위상 진동유동에 대해 수치해석적 및 실험적으로 연구하였다. 유동장은 내부와 외부로 분리하여 해석되어진다. 1차 비선형해는 스톡스 진동해로서 해석적으로 구해지며, 경계층 외부의 2차 정상유동은 경계적분법(Panel Method)와 유한체적법(Finite Volume Code)에 의해 구하였다. 수치해석해와 정성적 정량적으로 비교하기 위하여, 전유동장 측정기법의 하나인 입자영상유속계(PIV)기법을 사용하였으며, 계산시간 단축을 위해 영상압축 및 코드화기법에서 개발된 삼단계추적 알고리즘을 도입하였다. TLP등 저 댐핑 시스템에 있어서 작지만 0 아닌 항력계수의 정확한 시스템 거동 및 공진에 의한 파괴문제에 있어서 중요한 과제이다. 본 논문에서는 실린더의 갯수와 배열, 간격의 변화에 따른 항력계수 값들을 계산하여 도표화하였다.

The flow-field of a liquid-metal system is very important for the safety analysis and the design of the steam generator of liquid-metal fast breeder reactor. Dynamic neutron radiography (DNR) is suitable for a visualization and measurement of a liquid metal flow and a two-phase flow in a metallic duct. However, the three dimensional DNR techniques is not enough to obtain the velocity information in the wide channel up to now. In this research, a high speed DNR technique was applied to visualize the heavy liquid-metal flow field in the narrow channel with the HANARO-beam facility. The images were taken with a high frame-rate neutron radiography at 250 fps and analyzed with a Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) method. The images were compared with the results of the commercial CFX code to study the feasibility of DNR technique for the measuring the heavy liquid-metal flow field. The PIV images could discern the turbulent vortex flow in the two-dimensional narrow channel.

Electrokinesis and dielectrophoresis are important transport phenomena produced by external electric field applied to a microchannel containing a conductive fluid. We developed a CFD code to predict electrokinetic and dielectrophoretic flows in a microchannel with a uniform circular post array. Using the code, we calculated particle velocities driven by electrokinesis and dielectrophoresis, and conducted Monte Carlo simulations to visualize the particle motions. The code was validated by comparing the results with those from previous studies in literature. At a low electric field, electrokinesis and diffusion is the dominant transport mechanism. At a moderate electric field, dielectrophoresis is balanced with electrokinesis and diffusion, resulting in flowing filaments of particles in the microchannels. However, dielectrophoresis overwhelms the flow at a high electric field and traps particles locally. These results provide useful insight for optimizing design parameters of a microfluidic chip for biochemical analysis, especially for development of on-chip sample pretreatment techniques using electrokinetic and dielectrophoretic effects.

Laboratory experiments and numerical simulations using Particle Flow Code (PFC2D) were performed to study the effects of joint separation and joint overlapping on the full failure behavior of rock bridges under direct shear loading. Through numerical direct shear tests, the failure process is visually observed and the failure patterns are achieved with reasonable conformity with the experimental results. The simulation results clearly showed that cracks developed during the test were predominantly tension cracks. It was deduced that the failure pattern was mostly influenced by both of the joint separation and joint overlapping while the shear strength is closely related to the failure pattern and its failure mechanism. The studies revealed that shear strength of rock bridges are increased with increasing in the joint separation. Also, it was observed that for a fixed cross sectional area of rock bridges, shear strength of overlapped joints are less than the shear strength of non-overlapped joints.

터널외곽에 적용하는 지발뇌관의 시차 정밀도 차이가 터널의 여굴 형성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 알아보기 위하여 Particle Flow Code 2D (PFC2D)라는 개별요소법을 기반으로 하여 개발된 상용프로그램(Itasca CG, 2004)을 사용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 시차 정밀도가 정확하면 정확하지 않은 것보다 모암의 손상 및 여굴이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문은 매연여과장치(DPF)의 Inlet Pipe 길이를 5가지 경우로 변화시켜, 이 변화가 유동장에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 실험 방법으로서는 PIV 계측과 상용코드를 사용하여 수치해석을 수행 하였으며, 그 결과 PIV와 CFD는 87%로 일치하는 상관성을 보였다. 또한 동일한 유속 조건일 때 Inlet Pipe 길이가 20mm일 때 안정적이고 높은 압력 값을 보여 매연여과율을 높일 수 있을 거라 사료된다.

Most tunnel simulations have been focused on the thermal field and the critical velocity for suppression of hot back-layering flow in case of fire and on the characteristics of a tunnel fire in terms of the flame propagation and the toxic gas generation. In this paper, a comparative study of the flow characteristics of polluted air with no heat source in a tunnel model opened and closed at both end sides is implemented into a recognized CFD simulation code. The model is used to investigate the flow characteristics depending on the three different Reynolds numbers of 640, 1270 and 2120, which have been chosen by the flow velocities of 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0 m/s through the inlet. The results of this study have shown that the CFD predictive and experimental approaches are available in qualitatively studying the correlation of flow behaviors for a better tunnel design.

Experiment and numerical investigation are performed on swirling water flow in a vertical circular tube. This kind of flow is used in heat exchangers, combustion chambers, thermal power plants, and other mechanical equipment to move slurries or to convey materials. However, limited information on swirling flow in vertical circular tubes is available. In the current paper, the three-dimensional particle image velocimetry(PIV) technique is employed to compare the measured velocity profiles of water along the vertical circular tube with those of non-swirl flow. In addition, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code was applied to calculation of the flow velocities with swirl.

암반에는 단층, 절리, 층리 등의 불연속면이 많이 포함되어 있다. 이러한 불연속면은 기하학적 복합성에 의해 복잡한 구조로 나타난다. 이 연구는 스텝으로 배열된 두 전단균열의 끝에서 나타나는 구조 발달을 수치해석적으로 연구하였다. 이 연구에서는 PFC2D(Particle Flow Code) 프로그램을 이용하여 두 전단균열의 끝에서 형성되는 초기균열(incipient fracture)뿐만 아니라 초기균열에서 덧자라는 균열의 성장과정을 살펴보았으며, 균열 발생 시 나타나는 주변응력상태를 관찰하였다. 모든 실험 결과에서는 균열 끝에서 발생한 초기 균열 대부분이 인장균열에 의한 것으로 나타났으며, 균열의 전파각은 초기에 $30{\sim}57^{\circ}$에서 실험이 더 진행되면 저각으로 발달하는 것으로 나타났다.
