Centrifugal fans are widely used and the noise generated by the these machines causes one of the most serious problems. In general, the centrifugal fan noise is often dominated by tones at BPF(blade passage frequency) and its higher harmonics. This is a consequence of the strong interaction between the flow discharged form the impeller and the cutoff in the casing. However, only a few researches have been carried out on predicting the noise because of the difficulty in obtaining detailed information about the flow field and casing effects on noise radiation. The objective of this study is to understand the generation mechanism of sound and to develop a prediction method for the unsteady flow field and the acoustic pressure field of a centrifugal fan. We assume that the impeller rotates with a constant angular velocity and the flow field of the impeller is incompressible and inviscid. So, a discrete vortex method (DVM) is used to model the centrifugal by the unsteady Bernoulli equation. Lowson's method is used to predict the acoustic source. A centrifugal impeller and wedge introduced by Weidemann are used in the numerical calculation and the results are compared with the experimental data. Reasonable results are obtained not only for the peak frequencies but also for the amplitudes of the tonal sound.

This study makes a systematic approach to Hack's law considering self-affinity and self-similarity of natural basins as well as the elongation of corresponding catchment-plan forms. Catchment-plan forms extracted from DEM appear to be the population come from the interactions of 2 hypotheses on Hack's law. It is judged that the elongation measures based on inertia moments are more intuitive than the ones based on main channel lengths. The exponent of Hack's law, h, seems to be similar to the result of Gray's study (1961). However Hurst exponent, H, being 0.96 imply that catchment-plan forms considered in this study have isotropic increasing properties with scale. From this point of view it is inferred that the shapes of the basins in this study would be more affected from self-similarity of main channel lengths than self-affinity of catchment-plan forms.

Shaking table model tests were performed to reproduce the dynamic behavior of a gravity quay wall and a pile-supported wharf which were damaged during the Kobe earthquake in 1995. The results of the model tests were compared with field measurements and with the results of previous model tests. The displacements of the model quay wall were only one third of that of the prototype, whereas the deformation state of the model was similar to that of the prototype. The displacements of the model pile-supported wharf were about two thirds of that of the prototype and the locations of the maximum moments at the model pile were similar to the buckling locations of the prototype piles.

본연구는 실물크기의 프리캐스트 콘크리트 판구조물의 부분구조체를 모형화하여 실험한 결과를 분석한 것이다. 구조물의 역학적 특성과 파괴성상을 파악하기 위한 구조실험은 실물크기의 구조물과 부재로써 실시하는 것이 가장 좋은 방법이지만, 이것은 치수가 크므로 공간적으로 제한을 받고 많은 시간과 비용을 필요로 하기 때문에 모형실험을 이용하게 된다. 이러한 모형실험을 최소한의 오차범위내에서 원형실험과 같은 재현하고 예측하도록 실험을 준비하는 데에는 상사법칙이 필요하게 된다. 모형은 무엇보다도 원형과의 응력-변형도 관계 등 구성재료에 대한 상사요구조건을 만족시키는 것이 중요하지만, 본 연구의 대상은 1/3축척으로써 기하학적인 요소와 사용재료에 대한 강도의 상사성만을 고려한 모형이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 모형구조물의 거동을 원형실험결과와 비교하여 상사성 확보의 문제와 가능성을 조사하였다.

an approach to air-vehicle design, an application of the radio-controlled model flight test techniques has been presented. The approach presented in this study is to validate the air-vehicle design configuration by analyzing the flight test results of scale model with dynamic similarities, and then to apply the analyzed results to the aerodynamic design process in early stage of the air-vehicle development. To develop practically applicable similarity laws for the subscale flying model design, the air-vehicle motions are decoupled into rotational motions for stability & control similarities and translational motions for flight performance similarities. Also, detail techniques for radio-controlled model flight test have been developed. Based on the results obtained from the radio-controlled flight test, the present approach for air-vehicle design has shown to be useful to validate the air-vehicle design configuration.

Heat transfer equation is first reviewed and then governing equation of moisture diffusion. Analogy scheme is applied to analysis the moisture absorption problem of polymers. It make possible to numerically analyze the diffusion problem for single medium by using commercial finite element code if it is under the isothermal loading condition. It is extended to special multimaterial system by introducing pressure ratio function, whose moisture characteristics of materials are proportional to temperature only. The weight changes of silicon-nonconductive-polymer joint model due to moisture absorption is measured and been very close to the numerical results as for single media with boundary condition with zero concentration, but yields numerical errors as for multisystem media.

The behavior of plane buoyant jet issuing vertically upwards into cross flow is analysed by experiments and integral scheme. The integral scheme is based on the self similarity and characteristic length scales to governing equations of continuity, momentum and constituent transport equation, in the horizontal and vertical flow region, respectively. Jet trajectories and the temperature distributions of jet centerlines obtained from experiments are analysed for various velocity ratios and densimetric Froude numbers. It was found that the analytical results about the trajectories and temperatures of jet center lines agree with the experiments and can be expressed as power laws.

Earthquakes are reported thai building structures have been colossal damaged, but before 1988 designed structures which were not applicate seismic design code have no seismic performance. Especially, for the apartment structures were indicated that it have no resist wall element of earthquake before 1988 designed structures. We have to evaluate for seismic performance this structures, therefore it will be retrofitted for seismic index sufficient structures. We performed seismic performance evaluation for model structures by MIDAS which is general structure analysis software. In this study, it was performed shaking table test to evaluate model structure which is reinforcement concrete and 5 floors for seismic performance index. We made specimens by similar's law and tested shaking table test. In the shaking table test it is not performed prototype model test because of space and equipment condition. So we had made scale-down model for 1/5 by similar's law. That's why it needs for the evaluation of performance. However, it is not possible to do an experiment of prototype owing to the shortage of space and the limit of an experimental instrument in the shaking table test. Then, modeling and reducing the part of prototype do the experiment. In this experiment a shaking table test is done and seismic performance of model structures is evaluated by using similitude laws for scale down specimen. As a result it is proved that non-seismic design structures need to retrofit since seismic performance shows life safe grade in 0.12g of an earthquake.

In this study, to assess the validity of scaling law which was based on the ventilation factor and utilized in fields of compartment fires, numerical simulations were conducted on full- and 2/5 reduced-scale compartment fires using FDS and simulation results were compared with the previously published experimental data. The numerical modeling used in this study was verified by comparing the predicted temperature at several points of the upper layer with the experiment data. Temperature and concentration distribution inside of compartments and velocity profile at door of compartment are analyzed to assess the validity of scaling law. Comparison between the predicted results on the full- and reduced-scale compartments shows good agreements on the inner compartment flow patterns, outflowing flame patterns from the compartments, and vertical temperature distributions.

습공기에 포함된 수증기가 상(Phase)변화를 일으킬 때 잠열이 발생하고 이 잠열은 익형 주위의 압축성 유동 상태량들을 변화시키므로, 이러한 열 증가가 유동에 끼치는 영향에 대하여 수치해석을 통하여 연구 수행하였다. 수치해석은 Rusak 과 Lee [1]가 최근에 연구 수행한 미교란 방법(small-disturbance approach)에 근거하여 이루어졌다. 고전적 핵 생성 모델과 작은 물방울 성장(droplet growth)모델을 이용한 이 방법에서는 비평형 균질 응축과정에서 일어나는 열 방출을 묘사한다. 응축에 의한 열전달, 압축성 유동의 운동에너지, 그리고 유동의 열적 상태량들 사이에서 일어나는 비선형 상호영향을 조사하고, 또한 주어진 문제를 지배가호 있는 상사 파라미터들을 제시하였다. 계산 결과들은 Euler 방정식을 사용하여 얻은 선행 수치계산들과 비교하여 잘 일치됨을 보였다. 상사법칙은 유동 동역학과 응축 상태량들이 상당히 비슷하게 거동하는 다양한 유동 형태들을 제안한다. 압축성 습공기 유동은 유체기계에 사용되는 익형들의 공력 성능을 증가시키는데 응용될 수 있다.
