The hybrid rocket shows interesting characteristics of complicated mixing layer developed by the interaction between turbulent oxidizer flow and injected surface mass flow from fuel vaporization. In this study, the compressible LES was conducted to explore the physical phenomena of surface oscillatory flow induced by the flow interferences in a duct domain. From the numerical results, the wall injection generates the stronger streamwise vorticites and the negative components of axial velocity accompanied with the azimuthal vorticity near the surface. And the vortex shedding with a certain time scale was found to be developed by hydrodynamic instability in the mixing layer. The pressure fluctuations in this calculation exhibit a peculiar peak at a specific angular frequency($\omega$=8.8) representing intrinsic oscillation due to the injection.

The present paper presents a direct numerical simulation of turbulent flows in a compound open-channel. Mean flows and turbulence structures are provided, and they are compared with the numerical data and measured data available in the literature. The simulated results show that twin vortices are generated near the juncture of the main channel and the floodplain and their maximum magnitude is about 5% of bulk streamwise velocity. At the juncture, the simulated wall shear stress becomes the maximum unlike the experimental data. A quadrant analysis shows that both sweeps and ejections become the main contributor to production of Reynolds shear stresses. A conditional quadrant analysis reveals that the directional tendency of dominant coherent structures determines the production of Reynolds shear stress and the pattern of twin vortices.

The fire took place in the synthetic heat transfer fluid boiler. This study uses simulation to investigate the first, second and third passes and the temperature in the fire burner. The boiler's internal fluid is more or less unsteady due to the out of order inverter. As the operation continues, the flame's flow and speed are unsteady. The synthetic heat transfer fluid leak spouted about 120 kg/min in the form of vapor in the early period of the fire. The flame extended to the second and third passes. The highest temperature of the second and third pass is $1059^{\circ}C$ and $1007^{\circ}C$, respectively. The simulation shows that the temperature is $767^{\circ}C$ in the low part of the third pass. The synthetic heat transfer fluid spouted through the cracked part of the fire box in the first pass and accumulated on the turn table. The temperature rises to $183^{\circ}C$ in the low part of the burner. Therefore, it is expected that the temperature of the interior of the fire box is above $1200^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the burner rises to a maximum level several times in a short period. On account of that, several explosions occur in the fire burner.

The unique phenomenon that jet flow kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy through thermoacoustic resonance can be applied for the multiple ignition of liquid rocket engines. The present article includes the basic principle and theory behind the phenomenon as well as major outstanding, previous research works. The thermoacoustic phenomenon is affected by underexpanded jet flow characteristics from a nozzle, geometries of a nozzle and a resonance tube, and chemical composition of jet flow. The paper concludes with discussion what should be considered as crucial issues for the future research on the development of a multiple ignition system of liquid rocket engines.

The classical solar wind theory proposed by Parker(1963) explains well the dynamics of the wind pheonomena such as stellar wind and accretion disk. While the stellar wind system like the solar wind has the spherically symmetric wind structure, there are various jet phenomena which collimate the system into the narrow space. We can find these dynamical structures in SS433, in the optical jet of M87, and around the active galactic nulei. We present the dynamical structure of the jet system in disks, which conserves the angular monetum, with the Keplerian rotation and the strong relation between the geometrical cross section and the physical change of the jet stream on the basis of the hydrodynamic equations.

본 논문에서는 수리실험을 통해 개수로의 바닥 조건에 따른 평균흐름 및 난류구조, 그리고 고유구조의 특성을 연구하였다. 레이저 도플러 유속계를 이용하여 2차원 순간속도를 측정하였다. 측정된 평균유속, 레이놀즈응력, 난류강도, 와점성계수, 혼합 길이 등의 난류량을 기존에 제시된 경험식과 비교하였으며 기존 연구 결과와 유사함을 확인하였다. 사분면 기법을 이용하여 개수로 흐름의 고유구조를 살펴본 결과, 분출 및 쓸기 현상의 발생 확률이 다른 상호작용에 비해 지배적임을 확인하였다. 고속 푸리에 변환을 통한 스펙트럼 분석을 통하여 에너지 폭포 현상 및 난류 와의 미시 및 거시 특성크기를 파악하였다.

An analytical study has been performed to investigate the unsteady ignition characteristics of pulse combustion. In many combustion applications, strain rate of the flow can significantly affect the combustion features; ignition, extinction, and reignition. In the pulse combustion, two jets (hot combustion gases and fresh mixtures) coming from the opposite side of the combustor will collide in the combustor forming a stagnation region where the chemical reaction is suppressed by the strain rate until this becomes below the critical value. In this research, the method of large activation energy asymptotic is adopted with one step irreversible kinetics to examine the ignition response to the periodic variation of the strain rate of flow. The results show the variation of the maximum value of strain rate can determine whether the ignition or extinction occur.

최근 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 국지성 집중호우로 인한 해안 도시지역의 내수침수 원인 및 면적을 XP-SWMM 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이 연구의 대상은 해안과 인접한 지역이며, 유역의 면적은 $2.74km^2$이고 관로의 총연장은 11.20km이다. 대상지역을 32개의 소유역과 67개의 하수관로로 XP-SWMM 모형의 입력자료를 구축하였다. 대상유역에 대한 강우분석을 수행하여 2년, 5년, 10년, 20년, 30년, 50년 빈도의 강우량을 결정하였으며, 각 빈도의 강우사상에 대하여 조위조건을 반영한 침수해석을 수행하였다. 우수관거시스템과 연계된 TUFLOW 흐름모형을 이용하여 침수범람지역을 모의하였다. 모의 결과 모든 빈도에 대하여 내수침수 현상이 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며, 빈도별로 최대침수심은 0.485~0.673m, 침수면적은 $88,600{\sim}230,700m^2$로 예측되었다. 대상유역의 침수발생 양상은 하수관로의 유량이 맨홀을 통해 지표면으로 분출되는 현상이 발생하며, 이 지역의 하류로 침수범위가 확대되는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 현상은 상류에 위치한 소유역의 우수 유출량을 집수하는 집수정의 용량과 하류로 유하시키는 우수관로의 통수단면이 부족한 것을 주요 원인으로 생각할 수 있다.

During a hypothetical high-pressure accident in a nuclear power plant (NPP), molten corium can be ejected through a breach of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) and dispersed by a following jet of a high-pressure steam in the RPV. The dispersed corium is fragmented into smaller droplets in a reactor cavity of the NPP by the steam jet and released into other compartments of the NPP by a overpressure in the cavity. The fragments of the corium transfer thermal energy to the ambient air in the containment or interact chemically with steam and generate hydrogen which may be burnt in the containment. The thermal loads from the ejected molten corium on the containment which is called direct containment heating (DCH) can threaten the integrity of the containment. DCH in a NPP containment is related to many physical phenomena such as multi-phase hydrodynamics, thermodynamics and chemical process. In the evaluation of the DCH load, the melt dispersion rates depending on the RPV pressure are the most important parameter. Mostly, DCH was evaluated by using lumped-analysis codes with some correlations obtained from experiments for the dispersion rates. In this study, MC3D code was used to evaluate the dispersion rates in the APR1400 NPP during the high-pressure accidents. MC3D is a two-phase analysis code based on Eulerian four-fields for melt jet, melt droplets, gas and water. The dispersion rates of the corium melt depending on the RPV pressure were obtained from the MC3D analyses and the values specific to the APR1400 cavity geometry were compared to a currently available correlation.

We have developed a new relief valve which is a safety device for the domestic gas-fired hot water boilers. The relief valve has been designed to expand the inner diameter of the inlet, the outlet and the seat of the valve considering the relief capacity, and also to separate the spring from the room heating water. Therefore, we could minimize the adhesion and/or obstruction of the inlet and the corrosion phenomena of the spring which used to be the problem of the conventional relief valves. Test results of the developed relief valve showed that the performance of the opening pressure, reseating pressure, tightness, endurance were excellent, and the operating boiler with developed relief valve was evaluated as very good. The standardization and application of the relief valve can provide the advantage of component exchange and easy maintenance and repair.
