In this study, scenarios based on the leakage of highly compressed air and fire occurrence turned out to be high risks in an operation stage of CAES facility were constructed and estimated. By combining Bernoulli equation with momentum equation, an expression to calculate an impact force of a jet flow of compressed air was derived. An impact force was found to be proportional to the square of diameter of fracture and the pressure of compressed air. Four types of fire scenarios were composed to evaluate an effects that seasonal change and location of fire source have on the spread behavior of smoke. Smoke from the fire ignited in the vicinity of CAES opening descended more quickly below the limit line of breathing than one from the fire occurred 10 m away from CAES opening, which is expected to occur due to a propagation of wave front of smoke. It was shown that a rate of smoke spread of the winter fire is faster than one of the summer fire and smoke from the winter fire spreads farther than one of the summer fire, which are dependent on the direction of air flow into access opening. Evacuation simulation indicated that the required safe evacuation time(RSET) of the summer and winter fires are 262, 670 s each.

This study describes the characteristics of distribution of lift-force acting under pier deck through physical experiment. The shape of peak wave pressure was sharp when compressed air existed but was not sharp without that. Values of lift-force was different between edge point and center point in the same block. Distribution of lift-force was expressed differently owing to dimensionless of deck length (l/L), wave steepness (H/L), clearance height per wave height (D/H). The dimensionless factor of D/H affected on the lift-force the clearance between still water surface and decks. This decided the maximum of lift-force. In the case of the same values of D/H, the lift-force are changed by the wave steepness (H/L). Because (D/H) become smaller as the wave steepness (H/L) is increased the height of decks must be decided with the condition which don't have the clearance with $D_{max}$ for the stable design of deck of pier. Effect of reducing lift force was greater in the on-shore than the off-shore according to compressed air existence. This researches points out that design of deck should retain compressed air in order to reduce wave lift force.

최근 전자 및 광학 분야에 있어서의 눈부신 발전은 다면경 가공기나 초정밀 연삭기와 같은 초정밀 가공기계의 개발과 실용화에 힘입은 바 크다. 이러한 초정밀 가공기의 성능을 좌우하는 핵심 요소로서 추축계를 들수 있으며, 비교적 소형 경량의 공박물을 가공하는 기계의 주축용 베어링으로는 오일 베어링을 대신하여 공기 베어링이 점차 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 가공기에 많이 사용되는 외부 가압 공기 베어링은 동압 공기 베어링과는 달리, 외부에서 가압된 압축공기에 의하여 공기막을 형성하므로, 시동과 정지시 마멸이 없고 저속에서도 비교적 높은 하중 지지력을 얻을 수 있으며, 오일 베어링과 비교하여서는 발열이 적고 윤활제의 유출에 의한 오염의 위험이 없다는 특성외에 공기막에 의한 평균화 효과에 의하여 고정도의 운전이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 점급기원의 가정하게 직접 수치해법을 사용하는 해석 프로그램을 작성하여, 무차원화된 설계 변수들에 대한 외부가압 공기베어링의 정$\cdot$동특성수들을 구하고자 한다.

As the economic matters are involved, applying the WEC, which is used for controlling waves as well as utilizing the wave energy on existing breakwater, is preferred rather than installing exclusive WEC. This study examines the OWC mounted on a pressurized air chamber floating breakwater regarding the functionality of both breakwater and wave-power generation. In order to verify the performance as a WEC, the velocity of air flow from pressurized air chamber to WEC has to be evaluated properly. Therefore, numerical simulation was implemented based on BEM from linear velocity potential theory as well as Boyle's law with the state equation to analyze pressurized air flow. The validity of the obtained values can be determined by comparing the previous results from numerical analysis and empirically obtained values of different shapes. In the actual numerical analysis, properties of wave deformation around OWC system mounted on fixed type and floating type breakwaters, motions of the structure with air flow velocities are investigated. Since, the wind power generating system can be hybridized on the structure, it is expected to be applied on complex power generation system which generates both wind and wave power energy.

The safety valve used in LNG/LNG-FPSO ships plays an important role in maintaining a fixed level of pressure by emitting LNG gas out of the pipes in the LNG piping system. The discharge coefficient is regarded as the most important factor in the valve performance. To satisfy the ship's classification, the discharge coefficient of the safety valve must usually be over 0.8. Despite the importance of understanding the flow phenomena inside the safety valve, the valve design is usually based on experience and experiments. We carried out a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigation using the ANSYS-CFX software. We observed the flow phenomena inside the valve and measured the discharge coefficients according to changes in the valve lift, which is the distance between the exit of the nozzle and the lower part of the disc plate. We verified our CFD results for the discharge coefficients using available experimental data.

The objectives of this study were to investigate effectiveness of the Compressed Air Jet (CAJ) System for cleaning up shorelines contaminated with crude oils and to examine effects of the system on total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) removal and microbial community changes before and after remediation of the oil-contaminated shorelines. These data will lead to better understanding of optimized remediation process. About 66% of TPH reduction was observed when the contaminated site was treated with the CAJ System 2, 3, 4, and 5 times. This treatment system was more efficient than the seawater pumping system under similar treatment conditions (by 40%). By the way, little oil degrader communities were observed despite a potential function of the air jet system to stimulate aerobic oil degraders. The apparent low population density of the oil degraders might be as a result of low concentration of TPH as a carbon source and limiting nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. It was proposed that the CAJ System would contribute significantly to removal of residual oils on the shorelines in combination with addition of these limiting nutrients.

국내의 국지성 집중호우와 같은 기후변화와 토지피복율 증가 등 복합적인 원인으로 인한 표면 유출수의 증가로 도시에서의 내수침수가 매년 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 이러한 도심지 돌발홍수로 인한 피해에 대한 구조적인 대책으로 지하방수로가 효과적인 방안으로 대두되고 있으며, 현재 신월빗물저류배수시설이 설계단계에 있다. 그러나 미국, 일본 등의 국외의 기설치된 지하방수로에서 발생되는 Geyser 현상으로 인한 피해에 대한 연구는 국외에 비해 미비한 편이므로, 선행적으로 Geyser에 대한 물리기반의 동수역학적인 이해가 필요한 실정이다. Geyser는 홍수 시 급격한 유량의 유입으로 단파가 발생하여 지하방수로 내 공기의 압축이 발생하고 수직관을 통해 공기가 물과 함께 지상으로 분출되면서 발생된다. 따라서 공기와 물의 혼합 유동을 모의해야 하며 동시에 단파의 불연속성을 모의하기 위해서는 기존의 상용프로그램으로는 다소 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지하방수로의 Geyser 현상의 발생 예측을 위해 1차원 Saint-Venant 방정식을 지배방정식으로 선정하였으며, 단파 발생을 수치적으로 안정적으로 모의하기 위해 Roe Approximate Riemann 수치기법을 사용하였다. 또한 공기의 압력항을 고려하기 위해서 수정된 형태의 Preissmann slot 모형을 적용하였다. Geyser 현상의 영향인자로서 지하방수로 수평관의 직경, 마찰계수, 바닥경사, 초기수위, 유입유량을 고려하였으며 상류에서 유입되는 유량에 의한 하류에서의 동수역학적 거동을 분석하였다. 5개의 영향인자의 변화에 따른 단파의 유입속도 및 공기부 압력의 변화를 관찰하여 Geyser 현상에 대한 동수역학적 검토를 수행하였다. 추후 본 연구결과를 적절히 활용한다면 지하방수로의 사용 안정성을 확보하고, 홍수발생 시 모니터링 인자도출에 도움이 될 것으로 예상된다.

초음속 흡입구는 설계점에서 안정적으로 작동하지만 설계점 밖에서는 엔진성능이 급격히 감소하거나 층 격파 불안정 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 초음속 흡입구의 일반적인 특성을 파악하기 위해 2단 꺾임각을 갖는 외부 압축식 2차원 흡입구를 설계하고 EDISON_열유체 시스템을 이용하여 최종적으로 설계 마하수 2.5에서 작동하는 형상을 얻었다. 그러나 설계 마하수 이하의 영역에서는 충격파-경계층, 충격파간 상호작용으로 인해 유동에서 박리가 발생하고 최종적으로 흡입구 목을 질식시켜 아임계 상태로 천이된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 유동 제어 방법 중 하나인 bleeding을 이용하여 경계층을 제거하거나 유동의 박리를 방지하여 충격파를 cowl lip 전방에 안정하게 고정시킬 수 있었으며, 결과적으로 목적하였던 마하수 2.0에서 2.5에 이르는 작동 영역에서 강건하게 운용될 수 있는 초음속 흡입구를 설계하였다.

This study presents the effect which the condensation water affects on performance characteristics of apparatus when the condensation water injects to the condenser. The experimental results are the following. The inlet outlet refrigerant temperature in condenser and outlet air temperature showed a little lower than that of the existing method. Also, the refrigeration capacity and COP(coefficient of performance) increased about 3%, 13~16% and the compressor work decreased about 27% than that of the conventional method. So, these results contribute not only the performance improvement of apparatus but also the solution of problem according to the discharge of periodic condensation water.
