When a GTX travels through a deep-level underground tunnel at a speed of 180km/h, ear-discomfort in passengers due to the pressure wave generated could be an issue due to the small cross-sectional area. Therefore, appropriate pressure-tightness values for GTX trains must be secured as a countermeasure. In this paper, a 1D numerical analysis was conducted to determine the pressure-tightness coefficient which allows a pressure change meet the criteria. The pressure transients in a tunnel and in a passenger car are predicted considering an A-line underground tunnel with a length of 37km and its operation schedule. The required pressure-tightness of the car is predicted to be three seconds and 6 seconds respectively for a single track and a double- track tunnel to prevent aural discomfort in passengers. The result of this study are expected to serve as useful information to those involved in the development of various solutions to improve air-tightness of GTX passenger cars.

In nuclear power plants, the flow rate information is a major indicator of the performance of rotating equipment such as pumps, and is a very important one required for facility operation and maintenance. To measure a flow rate, various types of methods have been developed and used. Among them, the differential pressure type using orifice and the direct doppler type using ultrasonic waves are the most commonly used. However, these flow rate measurement methods have limitations in installation, conditions and status of the measuring part, etc. To solve this problem, we have studied a new technique for measuring flow rate from scratch. In this paper, we have devised a technique to estimate the flow rate using an average moving velocity of large-scale eddy in turbulence that occurs in the piping flow field. The velocity of the large-scale eddy can be measured using the pressure fluctuation signals on the inner surface of the pipe. To estimate the flow rate, at first a cross-correlation function is applied to the two pressure fluctuation signals located at different positions in the down stream for calculating the time delay between the moving eddies. In order to validate the proposed flow rate estimation method, CFD analyses for the internal turbulence flow in pipe are conducted with a fixed flow condition, where the pressure fluctuation signals on the pipe inner surface are simulated. And then the average flow velocity of the large scale eddy is to be estimated. The estimated flow velocity is turned out to be similar to the fixed (known) flow rate.

최근 이상기후로 인한 국지성 호우의 발생빈도 및 강우강도의 증가는 하천횡단구조물의 안정성에 문제가 되고 있다. 하천 횡단구조물(보, 물받이공 등)의 파괴는 국부 세굴(bed scour), 파이핑(piping), 구조물 본체의 불안정성 등의 원인으로 발생되고 있으며, 이 중에서 구조물 본체의 불안정성은 도수(hydraulic jump)로 인한 압력변이도 주요 원인이 될 수 있다 (Bower and Toso, 1988; Kazemi, F. et al., 2016). 그러나, 현재 직접적인 파괴 원인인 세굴 등에 대한 연구에 비해 압력변이로 인한 구조물의 파괴원인을 분석하는 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 흐름조건을 발생시켜, 하천횡단구조물 주변의 도수특성 및 도수로 인한 압력변이에 대하여 수리실험 및 수치모의를 통하여 검토하고자 한다. 수리실험에 사용하는 수로는 길이 10 m, 폭 0.3 m, 높이 0.4 m이며 상류로부터 2.5 m 떨어진 곳에 보(weir)를 설치하였다. 실험조건은 다양한 흐름조건에 따른 도수 발생을 검토하고자 상하류 수위를 조절을 통해 Froude 수의 범위를 1 < Fr < 10로 설정하였다. 압력변이는 전압형 압력계(Model : UNIK 5000, 압력 측정 변위 : -2 ~ 5 kPa)를 사용하였으며, 보(weir) 하류단에서 2.5 cm 간격으로 천공하여 측정하였다. 또한 3차원 모형인 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하여 실험수로를 재현하였으며, 도수 발생 위치, 도수 길이, 도수 발생 시 압력변이에 대하여 실험결과와 수치모의 결과를 비교하여 수치모형을 검증하였다. 최종적으로 Froude 수에 따른 도수특성(도수 발생위치, 도수 길이 등) 및 최대 압력변이를 무차원화 하여 나타내었다. 본 연구는 도수 발생 시 압력변이로 인한 구조물 파괴분석에 대한 기초가 되는 기본적인 연구이나, 향후에는 물받이공 길이, 두께 등 하천횡단 구조물 설계인자 도출에 선행연구로 발전할 수 있다고 판단된다.

Cyclic variability has long been recognized as limiting the range of operating conditions of spark ignition engines, in particular, under lean and highly diluted operation conditions. The cyclic combustion variations can be characterized by the pressure parameters, combustion parameters, and flame front parameters. The coefficient of variation in indicated mean effective pressure ($COV_{IMEP}$) defines the cyclic variability in indicated work per cycle, and it has been found that vehicle driveability problems usually result when $COV_{IMEP}$ exceeds about 10%. For analysis of the cyclic variability in SI engines at idling, the results show that cyclic variability by the $COV_{IMEP}$ or the coefficient of variation in maximum pressure can be explained and may be consequently reduced by the help of the optimum spark timings.

This paper presents the leakage safety of two O-rings, which are located at the rectangular groove between a valve body and a valve stem. The leakage safety analysis of 0-ring seals has been computed as functions of a compression set and a liquefied petroleum gas pressure of a LPG cylinder using a FEM program, MARC. The FEM computed results indicate that the loads from the filling pressure of $8kg/cm^2$ to the upper limit of the safety valve, $24.8kg/cm^2$ work safely according to the pressure vessel code. But two O-rings should consider the aging effects for an increased safety of the o-ring.

In this study, a computer analysis has been developed for predicting the pipe pressure of the intake and exhaust manifold in a single cylinder engine. To get the boundary conditions for a numerical analysis, one dimensional and unsteady gas dynamic calculation is performed by using the MOC(Method Of Characteristic). The main numerical parameters are the variation of the exhaust pipe diameters to calculate the pulsating flow when the intake and exhaust valves are working. As the results of numerical analysis, the shapes and distributions of the exhaust pipe pressures were influenced strongly on the cylinder pressure. As the exhaust pipe diameter is decreased, the amplitude of exhaust pressure is large and the cylinder pressure was showed low in the region of intake valve opening time.

Theoretical study has been conducted to clarify pressure characteristics of KTX(Korea Train eXpress) in tunnel. The external and internal pressure of rolling stock have been measured by using the atmospheric pressure sensors and portable data acquisition system on Seoul-Busan high speed railroad line. These pressure change may give rise to the ear-discomfort for passenger and fatigue for car body. In this study, the tunnels from 200m to 4000m in length have been chosen for the investigation of tunnel length effects. From the results of experiment, the pattern of pressure change generally agrees to RTRI's experimental result for Shinkansen. We found that there are similar patterns of external pressure variation for each critical tunnel length. The critical tunnel lengths are governed by train speed, train length and sonic velocity.
