A multi-dimensional component for the thermal-hydraulic system analysis code, MARS, was developed for a more realistic three-dimensional analysis of nuclear systems. A three-dimensional and two-fluid model for a two-phase flow in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates was employed. The governing equations and physical constitutive relationships were extended from those of a one-dimensional version. The numerical solution method adopted a semi-implicit and finite-difference method based on a staggered-grid mesh and a donor-cell scheme. The relevant length scale was very coarse compared to commercial computational fluid dynamics tools. Thus a simple Prandtl's mixing length turbulence model was applied to interpret the turbulent induced momentum and energy diffusivity. Non drag interfacial forces were not considered as in the general nuclear system codes. Several conceptual cases with analytic solutions were chosen and analyzed to assess the fundamental terms. RPI air-water and UPTF 7 tests were simulated and compared to the experimental data. The simulation results for the RPI air-water two-phase flow experiment showed good agreement with the measured void fraction. The simulation results for the UPTF downcomer test 7 were compared to the experiment data and the results from other multi-dimensional system codes for the ECC delivery flow.

According to the structure characteristics of the non-uniform beam bridge, a practical model for calculating the vibration equation of the non-uniform beam bridge is given and the application scope of the model includes not only the beam bridge structure but also the non-uniform beam with added masses and elastic supports. Based on the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory, extending the application of the modal perturbation method and establishment of a semi-analytical method for solving the vibration equation of the non-uniform beam with added masses and elastic supports based is able to be made. In the modal subspace of the uniform beam with the elastic supports, the variable coefficient differential equation that describes the dynamic behavior of the non-uniform beam is converted to nonlinear algebraic equations. Extending the application of the modal perturbation method is suitable for solving the vibration equation of the simply supported and continuous non-uniform beam with its arbitrary added masses and elastic supports. The examples, that are analyzed, demonstrate the high precision and fast convergence speed of the method. Further study of the timesaving method for the dynamic characteristics of symmetrical beam and the symmetry of mode shape should be developed. Eventually, the effects of elastic supports and added masses on dynamic characteristics of the three-span non-uniform beam bridge are reported.

난류전단 흐름에서의 비정상 수평 선오염원의 확산에 관한 수치모형을 개발하였다. 계산기법으로는 비정상 이송확산 방정식을 종방향 이송 및 연직방향 확산으로 분리하고, 이들 방정식을 방시간 간격에 대하여 번갈아 계산하는 단계분리 유한차분기법을 사용하였다. 종방향 이송방정식에 대해서는 Holly-Preissmann 기법을, 연직방향 확산방정식에 대해서는 Crank-Nicholson 기법을 각각 적용하였다. 개발된 모형을 난류전단 흐름에서의 정상 수평 선오염원의 확산 문제에 적용하여 계산결과를 반해석해와 비교함으로써 모형을 검증하였다. 또한 난류전단 흐름내로 순간적으로 방류된 면오염원의 확산문제에 계산모형을 적용하였다. 마찰계수에 대한 민감도 분석 결과, 동일한 무차원 시각에서의 혼합 정도는 마찰계수에 관계없이 거의 일정한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 동일한 정도의 혼합상태에 도달하는 데 소요되는 유하거리는 마찰계수의 제곱근에 반비례함을 알 수 있었다.

최근의 항공기 개발에 있어 조종면을 복수 개로 분할하여 제어함으로써 예기치 못한 결함 발생 시 안전성 및 생존성을 향상 시킬 수 있는 재형상 제어에 관한 연구가 중요하게 대두되어 왔다. 본 논문은 조종면 결함 시 발생 가능한 조종면의 포화를 고려한 모델예측 제어기법을 이용한 재형상 제어를 다룬다. 모델예측 제어의 내부 모델로는 트림 조건에서 선형화된 운동방정식을 사용하며 조종면의 포화가 발생할 경우에 선형행렬부등식 기반의 반한정 프로그래밍을 이용한 최적화를 수행하며 그 외의 경우에는 모델예측 제어기법을 풀어서 구한 해석적인 해를 사용하는 제어기 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하기 위해 임의의 조종면 결함 상황에 대한 비선형 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

본 연구에서는 기존 MIM Zone model과 새로이 유도한 모델과 비교를 통해 몇가지 결론을 도출하였다. MIM model 이 적용되면 immobile 영역에서의 초기농도는 기공의 형태에 의해 달라지는 보정계수에 의해 실제농도보다 저평가되었으며 이는 오직 확산이 기공의 가장 깊은 부분까지 시행된 이후에 유효함을 확인하였다. 물질이동계수, $\alpha$는 기공의 깊이에 따라 반비례하며, 유동 구역의 유속에는 종속되어지지 않는다. 기존의 MIM model 은 확산주도영역의 농도가 급속하게 감소하는 현상을 보여주는데 새로이 유도된 모델의 경우도 충분한 시간이 경과한후 비슷한 현상을 보였으며 이는 기존의 여러 실험에서 관찰된 power-law BTC 의 상반되는 결과를 보여준다.

The aim of this study is to investigate free vibration of functionally graded porous nanocomposite rectangular plates where the internal pores and graphene platelets (GPLs) are distributed in the matrix either uniformly or non-uniformly according to three different patterns. The elastic properties of the nanocomposite are obtained by employing Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model. The GPL-reinforced plate is modeled using a semi-analytic approach composed of generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) and series solution adopted to solve the equations of motion. The proposed rectangular plates have two opposite edges simply supported, while all possible combinations of free, simply supported and clamped boundary conditions are applied to the other two edges. The 2-D differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical tool is used to discretize the governing equations and to implement the boundary conditions. The convergence of the method is demonstrated and to validate the results, comparisons are made between the present results and those reported by well-known references for special cases treated before, have confirmed accuracy and efficiency of the present approach. New results reveal the importance of porosity coefficient, porosity distribution, graphene platelets (GPLs) distribution, geometrical and boundary conditions on vibration behavior of porous nanocomposite plates. It is observed that the maximum vibration frequency obtained in the case of symmetric porosity and GPL distribution, while the minimum vibration frequency is obtained using uniform porosity distribution.

This paper deals with free vibration of FG sandwich annular sector plates on Pasternak elastic foundation with different boundary conditions, based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. The plates with simply supported radial edges and arbitrary boundary conditions on their circular edges are considered. The influence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) waviness, aspect ratio, internal pores and graphene platelets (GPLs) on the vibrational behavior of functionally graded nanocomposite sandwich plates is investigated in this research work. The distributions of CNTs are considered functionally graded (FG) or uniform along the thickness of upper and bottom layers of the sandwich sectorial plates and their mechanical properties are estimated by an extended rule of mixture. In this study, the classical theory concerning the mechanical efficiency of a matrix embedding finite length fibers has been modified by introducing the tube-to-tube random contact, which explicitly accounts for the progressive reduction of the tubes' effective aspect ratio as the filler content increases. The core of structure is porous and the internal pores and graphene platelets (GPLs) are distributed in the matrix of core either uniformly or non-uniformly according to three different patterns. The elastic properties of the nanocomposite are obtained by employing Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model. A semi-analytic approach composed of 2D-Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (2D-GDQM) and series solution is adopted to solve the equations of motion. The fast rate of convergence and accuracy of the method are investigated through the different solved examples. Some new results for the natural frequencies of the plate are prepared, which include the effects of elastic coefficients of foundation, boundary conditions, material and geometrical parameters. The new results can be used as benchmark solutions for future researches.

In this paper, a numerical analysis is carried out to study the characteristics of supercavitating flows and the drag of relatively simple two-dimensional and axisymmetric bodies which can be used for supercavity generation device, cavitator, of a high-speed underwater vehicle. In order to investigate the suitability of numerical models, cavity flows around the hemispherical head form and two-dimensional wedge are calculated with combinations of three turbulence models(standard $k-{\epsilon}$, realizable $k-{\epsilon}$, Reynolds stress) and two cavitation models(Schnerr-Sauer, Zwart-Gerber-Belamri). From the results, it is confirmed that the calculated cavity flow is more affected by the turbulence model than the cavitation model. For the calculation of steady state cavity flows, the convergence in case of the realizable $k-{\epsilon}$ model is better than the other turbulence models. The numerical result of the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model is changed less by turbulence model and more robust than the Zwart-Gerber-Belamri model. Thus the realizable $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulence model and the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model are applied to calculate supercavitating flows around disks, two dimensional $10^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ wedges. In case of the disk, the cavitation number dependences of the cavity size and the drag coefficient predicted are similar to either experimental data or Reichardt's semi-empirical equations, but the drag coefficient is overestimated about 3% higher than the Reichardt's equation. In case of the wedges, the cavitation number dependences of the cavity size are similar to experimental data and Newman's linear theory, and the agreement of the cavity length predicted and Newman's linear theory becomes better as decreasing cavitation number. However, the drag coefficients of wedges agree more with experimental data than those of Newman's analytic solution. The cavitation number dependences of the drag coefficients of both the disk and the wedge appear linear and simple formula for estimating the drag of supercavitating disks and wedges are suggested. Consequently, the CFD scheme of this study can be applied for numerical analysis of supercavitating flows of the cavitator and the cavitator design.
