An experimental study is made in a nearly two-dimensional 90.deg. curved duct to investigate the effects of interaction between streamline curvature and mean strain on turbulence. The initial shear at the entrance to the curved duct is varied by an upstream shear generator to produce five different shear conditions ; a uniform flow (UF), a positive weak shear (PW), a positive strong shear(PS), a negative weak shear (NW) and a negative strong shear(NS). With the mean field data of the case UF, variations of the momentum thickness, the shape factor and the skin friction over the convex(inner) surface and the concave (outer) surface are scrutinized quantitatively in-depth. It is found that, while the pressure loss due to curvature is insensitive to the inlet shear rates, the distributions of wall static pressure along both convex and concave surfaces are much influenced by the inlet shear rates.

해안 및 도서지역의 경우 다양한 목적으로 지하수를 개발하게 된다. 이러한 지역은 내륙의 담수와 해안의 바닷물이 대수층에서 만나게 되는데, 비중차이에 의해 섞이지 않고 해수-담수 경계면을 가지는 일정한 형태를 유지하게 된다. 하지만, 담수영역에 위치한 지하수개발관정의 과잉양수와 해수면 상승 등으로 인해 해수침투 길이가 길어지게 되어 기존 해안지역 지하수개발관정이 해수로 오염되는 경우가 발생한다. 해수침투로 오염된 대수층의 경우 회복까지는 오랜 시간이 소요되어 취수원으로 사용이 어렵게 된다. 국내외에서는 해수침투저감 방법에 대한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 대표적 해수침투 저감방법으로는 해수양수로 내륙으로 침투하는 해수를 제거하거나 담수 주입으로 침투 하는 해수를 밀어내게 된다. 또는 지하 차수벽 설치로 해수침투를 조절하기도 한다. 이러한 해수침투 저감방법들은 장단점을 가지고 있어, 적용지역에 적절한 해수침투 방법을 선정하는 것이 중요하다. 하지만 기존 해수침투 저감 방법의 경우 공통적으로 해수양수, 담수 주입을 위한 동력조달 혹은 차수벽 설치비용과 같이 경제적인 측면에 대한 고려가 부족하였다. 본 연구에서는 조위를 이용한 무동력 해수침투 저감 방법을 실험을 통해 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법은 기존 해수침투 저감방법과 비교해서 설치 및 운영비측면에서 장점이 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Microcapsules having healing agent were prepared in which 2,6-dimethylphenol (DMP) as a healing agent forms the core and melamine/formaldehyde resin forms the shell. Microcapsule-contained asphalts showed better mechanical properties than non-contained ones. And as the rest time passed the impact strength of microcapsule-contained asphalt was getting higher than that of asphalt without the microcapsule. As the rest time of 15 days passed, the original strength was restored. This tells that microcapsule-contained asphalt had the ability of self-healing. X-ray photos proved that DMP on asphalt fracture surface, which were burst out of the microcapsules when cracks occurred on asphalt, were polymerized to polyphenyleneoxide and this PPO covered the crack and healed the damage.

In this study, gas turbine engine inlet duct was designed to satisfy uniform flow at aerodynamic interface plane (AIP). Haack-series was selected as nose cone profile and duct outer radius($r_o$) was designed to satisfy to match with area change rate between the nose cone and outer duct wall by the 1-D sizing. The design object of the inlet duct wall profile which has the gradual area change rate was uniform Mach number in the core flow region and minimum boundary later thickness at the both inner nose wall and outer duct wall. The flow characteristics inside the inlet duct was evaluated using CFD. The static pressure distribution at the AIP showed uniform pattern within 0.16%. Based on Mach number profile, the boundary layer thickness was 2% of channel height. Kiel temperature rake location was decided less than 100 mm in front of nose cone where the Mach number is less than 0.1 in order to maximize the temperature probe recovery rate.

우리나라 수자원의 잠재적 문제점중 하나는 단일 하천 혹은 댐에 대한 의존도가 매우 높다는 것이다. 이러한 현상은 한반도의 지형, 기상, 경제성 등의 요인에 의해 야기된 결과이기도 하지만, 지하수 수자원의 불확실성과 적정 관리의 어려움에서 기인하였다. 지하수는 유속이 매우 느리며 눈에 보이지 않기 때문에 지하수 과잉개발 및 오염 등에 취약하다는 단점이 있는 것이 사실이다. 그러나 지하수자원을 활용하지 않고 무작정 보존하기 보다는 많은 연구개발을 통하여 지속가능한 수자원으로 활용하는 것이 더 바람직하다. 해안에 위치한 지하수개발관정의 경우 바닷물이 대수층을 통해 침투하여 지하수관정을 오염시키는 경우가 발생한다. 해안지하수의 주된 오염 원인은 과잉양수로 해수침투를 야기한 결과이다. 이러한 경우 수질을 회복하기까지 수년이 걸리게 되며, 그동안 취수원으로서의 가치를 상실하게 된다. 또한 최근에는 기후변화의 영향으로 해수면상승에 따른 해수침투길이가 길어져 기존의 해안지역 지하수의 오염위험성이 더욱 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 이러한 이유로 국내외에서 해안지하수 개발에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 많은 해안지하수 수치해석연구에서는 해안경계에 평균해수면(MSL)이 적용된다. 본 연구에서는 조위변화가 지하수위 및 해수침투에 끼치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다.

In Korea, rural groundwater development faces new challenge, which have not been experienced so far. The problem is a groundwater depletion by the water curtain cultivation (WCC) during winter season. This study investigates the groundwater depletion using three-dimensional finite difference groundwater flow program, MODFLOW to verify the water budget of the shallow aquifer of Cheongweon area. Interdisciplinary research, which has become a worldwide trend, has been adopted in studying groundwater modeling in field scale. In particular, the method of groundwater recharge estimation adopted precise modeling techniques, SWAT to groundwater flow modeling. Based on qualified field data, the model calibrated and validated its reliability. The objective of this study is to simulate various stream-aquifer interactions according to groundwater pumping with artificial boundaries, such as weirs and drainage system. We also analyzed a seasonal variation of cumulative water budget of the site to quantify the groundwater depletion and recovery in the pumping field.

The aim of this study is the safety and an accident prevention in limestone terrain by the underground tunneling. The geology of the study area consists of a Paleozoic sedimentary sequence dominated by limestone, sandstone, shale, and carbonaceous shale. The sequence gently dips to the northeast but the joint contains steep with variable trend. A significant fracture zone is developed in the limestone and shale beds, sub-parallel to bedding, and follows in part the limestone-sandstone contact. Monitoring of groundwater levels in the area shows marked fluctuations in the water table, which repeatedly rose to a level of -4 m before sinking to -15 m. These cycles occurred in mid-May, 2007 and in early and middle June. The data indicate that these fluctuations were unrelated to rainfall that occurred during the study period. We infer that the fluctuations were associated with the development of underground karstic networks along the deep fracture zone, and overlying ground subsidence is likely related to the rapid sinking of groundwater and the associated strong downward suction force.

Background: Paraplegia is a serious complication of thoracic or thoracoabdominal aortic operations, which is related to ischemic injury of the spinal cord induced by low perfusion pressure during cross clamping of the aorta. Ischemic preconditioning of heart or brain with reversible sublethal ischemic injury induces resistance to subsequent lethal ischemia. The aim of this study is to investigate whether ischemic tolerance could be induced by the preconditioning of the spinal cord using swine model. Material and Method: The animals were randomly assigned to three groups: sham group(n=3), control group(n=6) and pre-conditioning group(n=8). In the sham group, we performed the left thoracotomy only without any ischemic injury. In the preconditioning group, the swine received reversible spinal cord ischemic injury by aortic clamping for 20 minutes, whereas control group had no previous aortic cross- clamping. Forty-eight hours later, the aorta was clamped for 30 minutes in both groups. Neurological examination was done 24 hours later, then the animals were euthanized for histopathology and malonedialdehyde(MDA) spectrophotometry assay of the spinal cord. Result: Statistically significant difference in neurological outcome was observed between the control and preconditioning groups at 24 hours after ischemic injury. The incidence of paraplegia and severe paresis was 100% in the control group, and 62.5% in the preconditing group(p=0.028). There was no statistically significant difference in histopathology and MDA assay of the ischemic spinal cord between these two groups with borderline statistical difference in MDA assay(p=0.0745). Conclusion: In the present swine study, ischemic preconditioning could induce tolerance against 30 minute ischemic insult of the spinal cord, although the animals did not completely recover(stand-up or walk). We expect that combining this preconditioning with other currently existing protection methods might lead to a synergistic effect, which warrants further investigation.

The dental structure substituted by restorative materials may produce discomfort resulting from hot or cold stimuli. To investigate the effects of this stimuli on the human teeth, thermal analysis was carried out by calculation of general heat conduction equation in a modeled tooth using numerical method. The method has been applied to axisymmetric and two-dimensional model, analyzing the effects of constant temperature $4^{\circ}C\;and\;60^{\circ}C$. That thermal shock was provided for 2 seconds and 4 seconds, respectively and recovered to normal condition of $20^{\circ}C$ until 10 seconds. The thermal behavior of tooth covered with a crown of gold or stainless steel was compared with that of tooth without crown. At the same time, the effects of restorative materials(amalgam, gold and zinc oxide-eugenol(ZOE)) on the temperature of PDJ(pulpo-dentinal junction) has been studied. The geometry used for thermal analysis so far has been limited to two-dimensional as well as axisymmetric tooth models. But the general restorative tooth forms a cross shaped cavity which is no longer two-dimensional and axisymmetric. Therefore, in this study, the three-dimensional model was developed to investigate the effect of shape and size of cavity. This three-dimensional model might be used for further research to investigate the effects of restorative materials and cavity design on the thermal behavior of the real shaped tooth. The results were as follows; 1. When cold temperature of $4^{\circ}C$ was applied to the surface of the restored teeth with amalgam for 2 seconds and recovered to ambient temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, the PDJ temperature decreased rapidly to $29^{\circ}C$ until 3 seconds and reached to $25^{\circ}C$ after 9 seconds. This temperature decreased rather slowly with stainless steel crown, but kept similar temperature within $1^{\circ}C$ differences. Using the gold as a restorative material, the PDJ temperature decreased very fast due to the high thermal conductivity and reached near to $25^{\circ}C$ but the temperature after 9 seconds was similar to that in the teeth without crown. The effects of coldness could be attenuated with the ZOE situated under the cavity. The low thermal conductivity caused a delay in temperature decrease and keeps $4^{\circ}C$ higher than the temperature of other conditions after 9 seconds. 2. The elapse time of cold stimuli was increased also until 4 seconds and recovered to $20^{\circ}C$ after 4 seconds to 9 seconds. The temperature after 9 seconds was about $2-3^{\circ}C$ lower than the temperature of 2 seconds stimuli, but in case of gold restoration, the high thermal conductivity of gold caused the minimum temperature of $21^{\circ}C$ after 5 seconds and got warm to $23^{\circ}C$ after 9 seconds. 3. The effects of hot stimuli was also investigated with the temperature of $60^{\circ}C$. For 2 seconds stimuli, the temperature increased to $40^{\circ}C$ from the initial temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ after 3 seconds of stimuli and decreased to $30^{\circ}C$ after 9 seconds in the teeth without crown. This temperature was sensitive to surface temperature in the teeth with gold restoration. It increased rapidly to $41^{\circ}C$ from the initial temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ after 2 seconds and decreased to $28^{\circ}C$ after 9 seconds, which showed $13^{\circ}C$ temperature variations for 9 seconds upon the surface temperature. This temperature variations were only in the range of $5^{\circ}C$ by using ZOE in the bottom of cavity and showed maximum temperature of $37^{\circ}C$ after 3 seconds of stimuli.
