Ventilated cavity shapes by varying angle of attack of a circular cavitator were predicted based on Logvinovich's Independence Principle in order to verify the cavity shape prediction method. The prediction results were compared with model experiments conducted in the high-speed cavitation tunnel. In the prediction of the cavity centerline, the movement of the cavity centerline due to the effect of gravity and cavitator's angle of attack were well predicted. In the prediction of the cavity contour, it was found that the cavity edge prediction error increased as the angle of attack increased. The error of the upper cavity contour was small at the positive angle of attack, and the error of the lower cavity contour was small at the negative angle of attack.

수중 프로펠러의 비공동 소음을 수치적으로 해석하였다. Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings 형태의 음향상사 방정식을 시간영역에서 해석하였으며 임의의 형상과 하중조건을 가지는 프로펠러의 소음 예측이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 좌표계 변환을 통해 관찰자에 대해 상대적 운동이 있는 경우에도 소음 예측이 가능하도록 하였다. 균일/비균일 유입류 조건을 갖는 수중 프로펠러에 대해 소음 해석을 수행하였고 각각의 조건에 대해 음원별 소음 강도와 방향성을 예측하였다. 수치 해석결과 프로펠러 표면상의 압력 변화에 따른 비정상 하중에 의한 이중극 소음이 지배적인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 음원별 접근법은 수중 프로펠러의 운용시 지배적인 소음원을 구별하고 그 특성을 파악하여 적절한 소음 제어책을 마련하는 기반이 될 것이다.

Purpose: In the case of cavity discovered by ground penetrating radar exploration, it is necessary to accurately predict the filling amount in the cavity in advance, fill the cavity sufficiently and exert strength to ensure stability and prevent ground subsidence. Method: The cavity waveform analysis method by GPR exploration and the method using the cavity shape imaging equipment were performed to measure the cavity shape with irregular size and shape of the actual cavity, and the amount of cavity filling of the injection material was calculated during rapid restoration. Results: The expected filling amount was presented by analyzing the correlation between the cavity size and the filling amount of injection material according to the cavity scale and soil depth through the method by GPR exploration and the cavity scale calculation using the cavity shaping equipment. Conclusion: The cavity scale measured by the cavity imaging equipment was found to be in the range of 20% to 40% of the cavity scale by GPR exploration. In addition, the filling amount of injection material compared to the cavity scale predicted by GPR exploration was in the range of about 60% to 140%, and the filling amount of the injection material compared to the cavity size by the cavity shaping equipment was confirmed to be about 260% to 320%.

As underground caverns have many advantages such as safety and operation, they can also be used for gas storage purpose. When liquefied gas is stored underground, the cryogenic temperature of the gas affects the stability of the storage cavern. In order to store the liquefied gas successfully, it is essential to estimate the exact temperature distribution of the rock mass around the caverns. The main purpose of this study is the development of theoretical solution to be able to estimate the temperature distribution around storage caverns and the assessment of the solution. In this study, a theoretical solution and a conceptual model for estimating two and three dimensional temperature distribution around the storage caverns are suggested. Based on the multi-dimensional transient heat transfer theory, the theoretical solution is successfully derived by assuming the caverns shape as simplified geometry. In order to assess the theoretical solution, by performing numerical experiments with this multi-dimensional model, the temperature distribution of the theoretical solution is compared with that of numerical analysis. Furthermore, the effects of the caverns size are investigated.

In this study, we develop a prediction method of cavity shape taking gravity effect and angle of attack of cavitator into consideration simultaneously. Logvinovich's theoretical formulas are superimposed to predict the change of cavity centerline due to both gravity effect and angle of attack of cavitator. It is found that as the angle of attack of cavitator increases, the gravity effect is weakened due to decrease in cavity volume, and even in case of the same angle of attack, cavity shape changes in different ways depending on whether the angle of attack of cavitator is positive or negative. We conclude that cavity shapes are largely affected by the angle of attack of cavitator, and the gravity effect and angle of attack of cavitator should be considered at the same time for the prediction of cavity shape.

A numerical analysis model capable of predicting the shape, the size and the potentiality of collapse of tetrahedral blocks considering the persistence obtained from the field survey of joint distribution around the underground excavation surface has been developed. Numerical functions of analyzing both the exposed trace distribution on the excavation surface and the formation of tetrahedral block controlled by the extent of joint surface have been established and linked to the previously developed three dimensional deterministic block analysis model. To illustrate the reliability of advanced numerical model the case of underground excavation in which the collapse of rock block had practically taken place was studied. Representative orientations of joint sets was determined based on the joint distribution pattern observed on the excavation surfaces. The formation of block on the roof of underground opening was analyzed to unveil the potential tetrahedral block the shape of which was very similar to the collapsed rock block. Mechanisms of collapse process has been also analyzed by considering the three dimensional shape of tetrahedral block.

The analysis of ground subsidence stability was conducted for the residential area located on the limestone corrosion zone. For the investigation of the cavity distribution in limestone region, various geophysical investigations such as electroresistivity tomography, electromagnetic prospecting are carried out. Geotechnical field tests with drilling are also carried out for the evaluation of the ground characteristics. Based upon their results, numerical modeling is performed for the simulation and prediction of the ground subsidence with the conditions of cavity geometry and groundwater level. The main factor to cause the ground subsidence is estimated as the draw down of the groundwater level below soil overburden, which disturbs the mechanical equilibrium of ground and drives washing away the overburden soil through the cavity and solace subsidence. It seemed that it is essential to maintain the groundwater level continuously above the shallow cavity for the prevention of the ground subsidence on the limestone corrosion zone.

Supercavitating vehicles which cruise under water undergo high longitudinal force caused by thrust and drag. These combination may cause structural buckling. Static and dynamic buckling analysis method by using FEM can be used to predict this structural failure behavior. In this paper, some principles which include method for solution eigenvalue problem for buckling analysis are introduced. And before buckling analysis, we predicted some mode shape and natural frequency of cylindrical shell by using DIAMOND/IPSAP eigen-solver.

In this paper, defect formation in ring rolling is revealed by computer simulation of ring rolling processes. The rigid-plastic finite element method is employed for this study. An analysis model having relatively fine mesh system near the roll gap is used for reducing the computational time and a scheme of minimizing the volume change is applied. The formation of the central cavity formation defect in ring rolling of a taper roller bearing outer race and the polygonal shape defect in ring rolling of a ball bearing outer race has been simulated. It has been seen that the results are qualitatively good with actual phenomena.

Depressurization occurs around underwater objects moving at high speeds. This causes cavitation nuclei to expand, resulting in cavitation. Cavitation is accompanied by an increase in noise and vibration at the site, particularly in the case of thrusters, and this has a detrimental ef ect on propulsion performance. Therefore, predicting cavitation is necessary. In this study, an analytical method for cavitation noise is developed and applied to an elliptic wing. First, computational fluid dynamics are performed to obtain information about the flow fields around the wing. Then, through the cavitation nuclei density function, number of cavitation nuclei is calculated using the initial radius of the nuclei and nuclei are randomly placed in the upstream with large pressure drop around the wing tip. Bubble dynamics are then applied to each nucleus using a Lagrangian approach for noise analysis and to determine cavitation behavior. Cavitation noise is identified as having the characteristics of broadband noise. Verification of analytical method is performed by comparing experimental results derived from the large cavitation tunnel at the Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering.
