The flow upstream of a centrifugal pump impeller has been investigated by both experimental test and numerical simulation. For experimental study, the flow field at four sections in the pump suction is measured by using PIV method. For calculation, the three dimensional turbulent flow for the full flow passage of the pump is simulated based on RANS equations combined with RNG k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model. From those results, it is noted that at both design lo ad and quarter load condition, the pre-swirl flow whose direction is the same as the impeller rotation exists at all four sections in suction pipe of the pump, and at each section, the pre-swirl velocity becomes obviously larger at higher rotational speed. It is also indicated that at quarter load condition, the low pressure region at suction surface of the vane is large because of the unfavorable flow upstream of the pump impeller.

An experimental study Is conducted in a four-vane linear cascade in order to examine the influence of the wake behind rectangular bars on the flow and heat transfer characteristics. Flow and heat transfer measurements are made for the inlet Reynolds number of 66000(based on chord length and free-stream velocity). Turbulent intensity and stress are measured using a hot-wire anemometer, and to measure the convective heat transfer coefficients on the blade surface liquid crystal/gold film Intrex technique is used. Each of experimental cases is characterized by the unsteadiness measured at the entrance of the cascade. The wake behind the rectangular bars enhances the turbulent motion of the flow in the cascade passage. It also promotes the boundary layer development and transition. The results show that heat transfer coefficients on the blade surface increase with increasing unsteadiness.

The Variable Valve Timing(VVT) system for high performance is a key technology used in newly developed engines. The system realizes higher torque, better fuel economy, and lower emissions by allowing an additional degree of freedom in valve timing during engine operation. In this study, a model-based control method is proposed to enable a fast and precise VVT control system that is robust with respect to manufacturing tolerances and aging. The VVT system is modeled by a third-order nonlinear state equation intended to account for nonlinearities of the system. Based on the model, a controller is designed for position control of the VVT system. The sliding mode theory is applied to controller design to overcome model uncertainties and unknown disturbances. The experimental results suggest that the proposed sliding mode controller is capable of improving tracking performance. In addition, the sliding mode controller is robust to battery voltage disturbance.

국외에서 개발한 상관식이나 도표 등을 활용하여 국내 지반특성을 반영함에 있어 이를 그대로 국내지반에 적용하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 국내에 적합한 피에조콘계수 활용을 위해서는 국내 지반에 대한 시험결과를 직접적으로 이용하여 피에조콘계수를 결정할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서해안 시화호 주변에 광범위하게 분포하고 있는 연약지반을 대상으로 실내시험 및 현장시험을 수행한 결과를 피에조콘 관입시험과 비교 분석하고, 비배수전단강도와 콘 관입저항력과의 상관성 분석을 통하여 피에조콘계수를 산정하였다. 또한 산정된 결과의 신뢰성 확보를 위하여 통계분석 기법을 활용하여 연구대상 지역에 적합한 피에조콘계수를 재산정해 보았다.

In the field of agricultural machinery, various on-field tests are conducted to measure design load for optimal design of agricultural equipment. However, field test procedures are costly and time-consuming, and there are many constraints on field soil conditions due to weather, so research on utilizing simulation to overcome these shortcomings is needed. Therefore, this study aimed to model agricultural soils using discrete element method (DEM) software. To simulate draft force, predictions are made according to travel speed and compared to field test results to validate the prediction accuracy. The measured soil properties are used for DEM modeling. In this study, the soil property measurement procedure was designed to measure the physical and mechanical properties. DEM soil model calibration was performed using a virtual vane shear test instead of the repose angle test. The DEM simulation results showed that the prediction accuracy of the draft force was within 4.8% (2.16~6.71%) when compared to the draft force measured by the field test. In addition, it was confirmed that the result was up to 72.51% more accurate than those obtained through theoretical methods for predicting draft force. This study provides useful information for the DEM soil modeling process that considers the working speed from the perspective of agricultural machinery research and it is expected to be utilized in agricultural machinery design research.

실제 현장에서 준설매립공사를 수행하기 전의 설계 단계에서, 연약지반 개량설계를 수행할 때, 압축지수와 비배수 전단강도와 같은 설계정수를 합리적으로 평가하는 것은 최적공사비 산정측면에서 매우 중요한 사항이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유사 준설매립 현장에서 실시된 원위치 전단강도시험 및 불교란 시료 채취를 통해서 압밀 및 강도정수를 평가하였다. 이때, 배사관을 이용한 준설매립방법으로 투기된 준설매립층의 함수비 및 압축지수는 원지반 조건보다 오히려 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 압밀시험에 의해 준설매립지반의 압축지수와 함수비의 관계, 원위치 베인전단 시험으로 비배수 전단강도와 함수비의 관계를 각각 평가하였으며, 저소성 실트지반에 대한 Schmertmann의 압축지수 보정방법의 적용성을 판단하기 위해서 실제 침하량과 설계 예측침하량의 비교 분석을 실시하였다.

As an environmental pollution and global warming due to an excessive carbon emission are intensified, the importance of renewable energy is in rise today. TCP (Tidal Current Power), one of the renewable energy sources, generates electricity by converting kinetic energy of current into rotational energy of turbine. Also the TCP has a great advantages of predictability and reliability. Because the generating power is proportional to cubic of stream velocity, amplifying current speed by applying duct is highly effective to increase the generating power. SPM (Single Point Mooring) can be applied for the weather vane with various current direction and also augments generating power of the system. In addition, simple installation and retrieval could be a merit of SPM system. By combining duct and SPM, TCP system for relatively low-speed-current and shallow water region can be feasible and economical. In this study, single point moored duct-type TCP system was designed and the motion of submerged structure was investigated in both numerical and experimental method. DNV wadam V4.8-1 and OrcaFlex 10.0a were used for the frequency and time domain motion analysis of system respectively. Duct model scaled by 0.05 of Froude conformity ratio and CWC (Circulate Water Channel) are used for experiment.

Recently, turbines operating in hydro power plants are required to undergo renovation and modernization due to their age exceeding 30 years. In the process of renovation or modernization, a performance test of the scaled-down model is necessary to verify the performance of the real-size model. This model test method, with criteria that is similar to that of a real turbine, is the most economical and important method. Furthermore, the shapes of the runner and guide vane can be modified or replaced easily. However, during the process of modernization, the components with the spiral casing and draft tube are impossible to repair or replace because of the buried ground. Thus, in this study, numerical analysis is conducted to investigate the hydraulic performance based on the difference between the two-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) shape and the real three-dimensional scan shape of the spiral casing and draft tube.

이 연구는 Gun식 가스버너의 스월유동장을 연소실과 화염이 없는 상태에서 직선형 5공압력프로브의 측정을 통해 고찰하였다. 직선형 5공압력프로브에 의한 속도 및 정압성분들은 넌널링 교정방법에 의해 연산하였으며, X형 열선프로브와 전산유체역학의 해석에 의한 결과들과 비교하였다. 결과적으로 Gun식 가스버너의 중심부에서 스월유동장에 대해 5공압력프로브에 의한 속도 및 정압의 측정값들은 비교적 X형 열선프로브에 의한 경우보다는 좋은 성능을 보였으나 전산유체역학의 해석에 의한 경우보다는 다소 미흡한 결과를 보였다.
