This paper derives the insertion loss for the bubble layer of an air bubble curtain and an air masker which are used to reduce ocean anthropogenic noise such as the piling noise and the ship noise. The air bubble curtain is considered as a 'fluid-air bubble layer-fluid' model and the environment for the air masker is simplified as an 'vacuum-thin plate-fluid-air bubble layer-fluid' model. The air bubble layer in each model is assumed as the effective medium which has the complex wavenumber and the complex impedance corresponding to the bubble population distribution. The numerical simulations are performed to examine the insertion loss depending on the bubble population, the void fraction, and the thickness of the layer.

수중에서 발생된 기포에 음파가 입사되었을 때, 입사된 음파는 물 속의 기포들에 강제적인 진동을 주어 새로운 음원으로서 활동하게 한다. 이런 경우 기포의 진동은 비선형적인 진동 특성이 강하게 나타나게 되어, 기포는 입사된 음파에 의존하는 비선형 인자로서 작용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 수중에 발생되는 기포층의 비선형응답 및 다른 형태의 응답을 실험적으로 고찰하기 위하여, 인위적으로 제작된 기포 발생장치를 이용하여 발생된 기포층에 음파를 입사하였다. 이때 입사된 음파는 기포들과의 상호작용을 인하여 여러 가지 응답을 나타내었으며, 비선형 응답으로써 배진동 세기의 현저한 증가와 합주파수 음파 발생 등이 두드러지게 나타났다. 또한 개개 기포의 공진 주파수 근처에서는 물론, 그보다 높은 고주파수에서도 합주파수 형태의 비선형응답이 매우 특징적으로 관찰되었다.

Underwater noise pollution has a significant impact on the marine environment. This study proposed a simple approach to estimate the acoustic radiation efficiency of structures with air bubble layers. The method considered the insertion loss caused by the air bubble layer through post-processing of numerical results, assuming that insertion loss is equivalent to attenuation as demonstrated by previous studies. The proposed approach was validated by comparing it with a fully coupled analysis for plate structure models. The commercial finite element program COMSOL Multiphysics was used for the acoustic-structure interaction analysis, and the acoustic characteristics of air bubble layer for the fully coupled analysis was simulated by on the Commander and Prosperetti theory. The trends indicated good agreement between the simple approach and the fully coupled analysis in terms of radiation efficiency. It is confirmed that the proposed method is providing insight into the principal mechanism of underwater noise reduction for the bubble layer on the wedge-shaped structure.

New and renewable energy sources have drawn attention because of climate change. Many studies have been carried out in waste-to-energy field. Fast pyrolysis of waste lignocelluosic biomass is one of the waste-to-energy technologies. Bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) reactor is widely used for fast pyrolysis of the biomass. In BFB pyrolyzer, bubble behavior influences on the chemical reaction. Accordingly, in the present study, hydrodynamic characteristics and fast pyrolysis reaction of waste lignocellulosic biomass occurring in a BFB pyrolyzer are scrutinized. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the fast pyrolysis reactor is carried out by using Eulerian-Granular approach. And two-stage semi-global kinetics is applied for modeling the fast pyrolysis reaction of waste lignocellulosic biomass. To summarize, generation and ascendant motion of bubbles in the bed affect particle behavior. Thus biomass particles are well mixed with hot sand and consequent rapid heat transfer occurs from sand to biomass particles. As a result, primary reaction is observed throughout the bed. And reaction rate of tar formation is the highest. Consequently, tar accounts for 66wt.% of the product gas. However, secondary reaction occurs mostly in the freeboard. Therefore, it is considered that bubble behavior and particle motions hardly influences on the secondary reaction.

Acoustic radiation from a submerged elastic shell with an internal fluid surrounded by the bubble layer is studied with the modal theory. An omni-directional point source located on the center of the internal fluid is used as acoustic noise source. The unknown coefficients of modal solutions are solved using the interface conditions between media. To preserve the stability of the modal solution over wide frequency ranges, the scaled technique of modal solution is used. The bubble layer is modeled with four kinds of bubble distribution; uni-modal distribution, uniform distribution, normal distribution, and power-law distribution, based on the effective medium theory of Commander and Prosperetti. For each bubble distribution, the insertion losses are mainly calculated for the frequency. In addition, the numerical simulations are performed depending in the bubble void fraction, the material property of elastic shell, and the gap between the bubble layer and the elastic shell.

it is well observed in the ocean that the surface disturbances due to rain, wind and breaking waves generate bubble clouds several meters deep from the water surfaces. Thses kinds of bubble clouds can work as a physical mechanism to produce underwater ambient noise. In the laboratory experiment observing the noise generated from a bubble cloud we showed a role of individual bubbles in collective oscillations of a bubble cloud. The experimental data agree very well with the theoretical predictions. These results confirm that the collective oscillations of a bubble cloud is one of the more likely mechanisms for an ocean ambient noise source around several hundred hertz.

In this study, as a method to increase the recycling of circulating fluidized bed combustion ash(CFBCA), CFBCA was utilized to produce autoclave aerated concrete product since CFBCA contains quicklime and calcium sulfate components that are required for the manufacture of autoclave aerated concrete. Successful achievement of such objective will bring cost reduction with high value addition, saving of natural resources, and the reduction of environmental load. Various mixing designs were designed to evaluate the properties of autoclave aerated concrete made of CFBCA. Based on series of experimental program, prototypes mix design for factory manufacturing was obtained. According to the experimental results, it was confirmed that gypsum can be replaced with CFBCA through the method of pre-treating the CFBCA as a slurry. It was possible to produce competitive autoclave aerated concrete products using CFBCA.

A theoretical model was developed to compute the effect of a bubble layer in reducing the radiation noise generated by a force applied on an infinite flat plate considering the noise of multi-bubbles. Using the model, the effectiveness of a bubble layer in reducing the structure-borne noise of the plate was evaluated to consider various parameters such as the source noise levels, the thickness of bubble layers, the volume fractions and the frequency characteristics of bubbly fluids. Considering the noise of multi-bubbles, the actual reduction effect of radiation noise using a bubble layer was expected in cases of high source levels, high volume fractions of bubbles and large thickness of the bubble layer above the resonance frequency of the bubble layer. Accordingly, it is recommended that the thickness of a bubble layer, the source noise level and the characteristics of bubbly fluids should be optimized cautiously to maximize noise reduction effects.
