An experimental study on the flow over the axisymmetric backward-facing step was carried out. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of the separating streamline curvature on the reattachment length and to understand the structure of recirculating flows. Local mean and fluctuating velocity components were measured in the separating and reattaching axisymmetric region of turbulent boundary layer on the wall of convex cylinder placed in a water tunnel by using 2-color 4-beam fiber optics laser Doppler velocimetry. The study demonstrates that the reattachment length increases with increasing separating streamline curvature. It is also observed that the reverse flow velocity and turbulent kinetic energy increase with an increase in the separating streamline curvature. In addition, the behavior of maximum turbulent stresses show that the effect of separating streamline curvature is larger in the region of recirculating zone(X/H<2) than in the region of reattachment point.

In this paper, high-performance and low-noise centrifugal fan used to circulate cold air inside a household refrigerator is developed by reducing the vortex flow observed near the tip of fan hub. First, the performance of the existing centrifugal fan is investigated through the experiment using a fan tester and the characteristics of detailed flow field obtained from the CFD simulation are closely examined. The strong vortex flow is observed in the vicinity of the tip of fan hub. Based on this result, new design is devised to reduce this vortex flow. As a result, it is numerically and experimentaly found that the volume flow rate of the new fan increases and the radiated noise decreases in comparison with the existing fan at the same rotation speed.

원자로 냉각계통의 압력경계를 구성하고 있는 재료들의 부식은 재료 표면에 형성되는 산화막, 금속재료의 구성성분이 용해되어 생성된 가용성 화학종 및 산화물 입자 형태의 부식생성물들을 발생시킨다. 금속합금의 부식에 의한 가용성 화학종 및 입자들의 방출은 원자로 냉각계통에서 노심과 증기발생기를 순환하면서 연료피복관 위에 침전되어 여러 가지 문제를 야기한다. 크러드는 구조재료의 부식에 기인하여 발생한 부식생성물들이 냉각수에 부유하여 떠다니거나 피복관 표면에 침적하여 형성되며 주로 니켈과 철 산화물로 구성되어 있다. 원자로 냉각계통에서 크러드를 최소화하기 위하여 수화학 조건들을 제어하지만 장주기 고연소도 노심에서 AOA 현상을 일으키는 주된 원인이 되고 있다. 피복관 위에 침적되는 크러드는 붕소의 잠복위치를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 냉각수의 압력강하를 증가시키고 피복관의 부식 및 파손 원인을 제공하며 방사선 준위가 증가하도록 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 반응속도론적 관점에서 원자로 정지시의 용출 크러드 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

In order to evaluate properly ship motion relating to the berthing maneuver, the hydrodynamic forces acting on ship hull in berthing maneuver need to be estimated rightly. CFD has been employed for time-domain simulation of transient flow induced by Wigley model moving laterally from rest in shallow water. The numerical solutions successfully captured not only the characteristics of the transitional hydrodynamic forces but also some interesting features of the flow field around a berthing ship according to the water depth. In this paper, the consideration is carried out on the approximate formula based on the CFD results, which can estimate hydrodynamic forces especially lateral drag coefficient starting from the rest to the uniform movement.

본 논문에서는 수학적 모델링과 성능 분석을 통해 LVDC 용 3상 Dual Active Bridge (DAB) 컨버터의 효율을 증가시킬 수 있는 다양한 방법에 대해서 제안하고자 한다. 3상 DAB 컨버터의 경우 양방향 전력 변환을 필요로 하는 고전력 응용에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 이는 3상 DAB 컨버터가 영전압 스위칭이 가능할 뿐만 아니라, 단상 DAB 컨버터 대비 낮은 도통 손실을 가질 수 있기 때문이다. 고전압/고전류 응용의 경우 대부분 능동 소자로 IGBT가 사용되는데, 따라서 대전력 응용에서 3상 DAB 컨버터의 영전압 스위칭이 가능한 장점을 퇴색시키고, 높은 스위칭 손실을 야기한다. 뿐만 아니라 3상 DAB 컨버터의 경우 고부하 상태에서 높은 순환 전류로 인해 도통 손실이 증가한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 상기의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 IGBT의 턴-오프 전류를 최소화 시키고, RMS 전류를 낮출 수 있는 설계 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 모의시험과 5 kW급 시작품을 이용한 실험결과를 통해 제안하고자 하는 설계 방법의 타당성을 검증하고자 한다.

More than 24.43 million people received a special pardon to mark the anniversary of Liberation Day on Aug. 15 and to commemorate other national event, during 15years(1995-2009), in this period six times of presidential pardon was implemented. The special pardon allows traffic law violator to drive again with their violation records wiped clean. But traffic records show that traffic accidents used to increase very fast in a short period by up to 3-15 percent after implementing the every massive pardons. This study explores the causal feedback relationship between presidential special pardon for traffic law violators and the occurrence of an traffic accidents using a system thinking approach and simulation modelling. Particularly, this study focused on the analysing significant negative impact of the traffic pardon on the occurrence of worrisome traffic accidents. The results of this study show that presidential special pardon have had impact on the traffic accidents as a increasing leverage of positive feedback loop and the obedience of traffic law as a decreasing leverage of negative feedback loop. Finally, this study conclude that the cyclical increasing pattern of traffic accident is resulting from the periodically conducted presidential pardons with political aims.

Traumatic aneurysm of both the thoracic aorta and the left ventricle are extremely rare in children because it is characterized by high mortality. We report a case which we experienced recently with sucessful outcome. A Five-year-old boy had a blunt trauma by bongo bus. He had pulmonary hemorrage and pericardial effusion complicated by multiorgan failure threatening his life. Aneurysm of LV and Descending aorta were showed by 2-D echocardiogram and MRI. The atient underwent successful corrective surgery 2 and half momths after trauma, the Postoperative status of this patient was uneventful, now he is being followed up the OPD.

A computer model is developed capable of simulating the transient behavior of a pool-type liquid metal-cooled fast breeder reactor (LMFBR). The model, SIMFARP, is a fast running computer code which may be used to simulate the loss of power to any pump(s), a complete loss-of-forced cooling, and the natural circulation behavior. Eight governing equations are derived and a Runge-Kutta algorithm is applied to integrate the eight differential equations. The developed computer program is applied to two cases; loss of electric power to any pump(s), and loss of all external electric supply power without scram in Super-Phenix-I.

본 논문에서는 ESS용 전류원 Dual-Active-Bridge 컨버터의 저 부하 및 고 부하에서의 효율 향상을 위한 하이브리드 스위칭 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 전류원 DAB 컨버터는 인터리브 구조를 이용하여 배터리 단의 입력 전류 리플을 저감할 수 있고, 전력 변환 효율 개선을 위한 다양한 제어 변수를 도입할 수 있는 등의 장점으로 인해 DC 마이크로그리드에서 ESS용 절연형 양방향 DC/DC 컨버터로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 전류원 DAB에서 종래의 전력 제어 방법인 펄스폭 변조 방식과 위상천이가 결합된 방법 (PWM plus Phase Shift, PPS)의 경우 저 부하 조건에서 높은 피크 전류로 인해 도통 손실이 크며, 펄스폭 변조 방식과 이중 위상천이가 결합된 방법(PWM plus Dual Phase Shift, PPDPS)의 경우 고 부하 조건에서 영전압 스위치 영역이 좁아져 효과적이지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 2차 측의 펄스폭과 위상천이를 독립적으로 제어하는 하이브리드 스위칭 알고리즘을 통해 순환전류를 감소시키고 영전압 스위치 영역을 확장시켜 저 부하 및 고 부하 모두에서 효율을 향상시키고자 한다. 1-kW급 전류원 DAB 컨버터 시작품을 통해 제안된 하이브리드 스위칭 알고리즘의 효율성과 타당성을 검증한다.

The azygos venous system is a crucial conduit of the posterior thorax and potentially vital collateral pathway. However, it is often overlooked clinically and radiologically. This pictorial essay reviews the normal azygos venous anatomy and CT findings of congenital variations and structural changes associated with acquired pathologies.
