Time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography (TR-SFX) is a powerful technique for determining temporal variations in the structural properties of biomacromolecules on ultra-short time scales without causing structure damage by employing femtosecond X-ray laser pulses generated by an X-ray free electron laser (XFEL). The mixing rate of reactants and biomolecule samples, as well as the hit rate between crystal samples and x-ray pulses, are critical factors determining TR-SFX performance, such as accurate image acquisition and efficient sample consumption. We here develop two distinct sample delivery systems that enable ultra-fast mixing and on-demand droplet injecting via pneumatic application with a square pulse signal. The first strategy relies on inertial mixing, which is caused by the high-speed collision and subsequent coalescence of droplets ejected through a double nozzle, while the second relies on on-demand pneumatic jetting embedded with a 3D-printed micromixer. First, the colliding behaviors of the droplets ejected through the double nozzle, as well as the inertial mixing within the coalesced droplets, are investigated experimentally and numerically. The mixing performance of the pneumatic jetting system with an integrated micromixer is then evaluated by using similar approaches. The sample delivery system devised in this work is very valuable for three-dimensional biomolecular structure analysis, which is critical for elucidating the mechanisms by which certain proteins cause disease, as well as searching for antibody drugs and new drug candidates.

최근 국내 기후변화에 따른 국지성 집중호우로 인한 시간당 강우량의 증가로 도로부 유출량의 증가와 배수관거에서의 내수배제 불량에 따른 도심지 내수침수 피해가 증가함에 따라 이를 해결하기 위한 우수유출저감시설이 설치되고 있다. 그러나 대단위의 지하 저류시설의 지속적인 설치는 과밀화된 도심지에서 설치 지하공간의 구조적인 한계 및 적정 설치 위치의 미확보 등의 다양한 문제가 발생하여 저류시설의 침수저감 효과에 대한 추가적이고 새로운 저류시설에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 이에 내수 침수 저감 및 배수 능력 향상을 위한 도로 배수시설과 연계된 도로 측구부 저류시스템 구축이 필요하다. 이를 위해 역류 방지 및 노면수 저류 빗물받이에 적용되는 부력식 역류차단장치를 개발하였으며, 역류차단장치의 최적 형상 개발을 위해서 기존 빗물받이 연결관과의 통수능 비교 및 분석이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 빗물받이 연결관 및 연결관 내에 역류차단장치가 적용된 역류차단 빗물받이의 흐름분석을 위해 Fluent 모형을 이용하여 3차원 수치모의를 수행하였다. 수치모의 구성으로는 전체 형상을 40×50cm의 빗물받이 유입부와 50×50cm의 빗물받이로 결정하고 격자는 빗물받이 내부의 복잡한 3차원 흐름을 모의하기 위해 1.2~2mm 크기로 생성하였다. 다상유동 해석을 위해 VOF(Volume of Fluid)방법을 적용하였고, 수치해석 방법으로는 비정상류, 난류 모형으로는 SST k-𝜔모형을 적용하였다. 해석조건으로는 김정수(2021) 등이 제시한 4차선 기준 설계빈도별(5~30년) 빗물받이 유입유량을 산정하여 빗물받이 유입조건으로 선정하였으며, 빗물받이와 연결관에서의 통수능력 분석 조건으로는 빗물받이에 기존 연결관이 부착된 조건과 연결관 내에 역류차단장치가 설치되어 역류차단장치가 개방된 조건에서의 통수능을 비교하였으며, 역류상황을 가정한 연결관에서의 통수능을 비교하기 위하여 역류차단장치의 개폐정도를 15도(통수단면 33%감소) 닫힌 상태 및 30도(통수단면 67% 감소) 닫힌 상태 조건을 대상으로 빗물받이와 연결관에서의 흐름을 모의하였다. 수치모의 결과 역류차단장치의 계폐조건에 상관없이 5년 빈도유입량 조건에서는 완전 배수가 되었으며, 개폐조건 15도에서는 10년 빈도의 유입량에서는 완전 배수가 되었으나 20년 빈도 이상의 유입량 조건에서 빗물받이 유입부로의 역류가 발생하였으며, 개폐조건 30도에서는 5년 빈도 이상 유입량 조건에서 빗물받이 유입부로 역류가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 30년 빈도 이상의 유입량부터는 빗물받이 연결관 내에 역류차단장치 개페조건과 관계없이 빗물받이 유입부로의 역류로 인한 도로 침수가 발생하기 때문에 유휴공간인 도로 측구부를 저류공간으로 활용할 수 있는 도로 측구부 저류시스템의 구축은 필수적이라고 판단되며, 유량 조건에 따른 빗물받이 내부 와 흐름과 유출부에서의 유속 변화 특성을 확인하였다. 그러므로 측구 저류조 개발 형상과 연결한 3차원 흐름의 구현 및 분석에 Fluent 모형의 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

Anemometer is a meteorological instrument that measures wind direction and wind speed in real time, and is mounted to the cranes that are used at ports, shipbuilding yards, off-shore structure, or construction sites that are influenced by wind, and it is used in conjunction with the safety system. Load cell-type anemometer measures the wind direction through the ratio of load between 4 positions by mounting the thin plate to 4 load cells, and measures wind velocity through the summation of loads. In this study, we compared and analyzed the results in the theoretic approach, analytic approach and experimental approach to derive the correlation between load ratio and wind direction. Wind direction was selected as the design variable, and selected 9 wind direction conditions from $0^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$ with $11.25^{\circ}$ space for analysis, and 10 wind direction conditions with $10^{\circ}$ space for experiment.

The 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was performed in relation to the internal fluid characteristics and flow distribution for the development of the most optimal model in the complex post-disposal device. As it is expected that a channeling (drift) would be made by the semi-dry reactor due to the large difference in the flow distribution by the compartment in the bag filter, a structural improvement should be urgently made for more uniformed flow distribution in the bag filter. Three types of modifications such as i) changing the plenum shape, ii) orifice install in the exit part of cleaned gas, iii) increasing the plenum number were established. From the results of computational fluid dynamics, it was revealed that the changing of plenum shape and orifice install in the exit part of cleaned gas was more reasonable than the increasing the plenum number because of the difficulties of retrofit. The complex post-disposal device, modified and supplemented with this analysis, integrated the semi-dry reactor and the bag filter in a single body, so it follows that the improvement can make the device compact, save the installation area, save the operation fee, and management more convenient.

This study aims to evaluate a complex groundwater flow system around the underground oil storage caverns using the concept of hydraulic compartment. For the hydrogeological analysis, the hydraulic testing data, the evolution of groundwater levels in 28 surface monitoring boreholes and pressure variation of 95 horizontal and 63 vertical water curtain holes in the caverns were utilized. At the cavern level, the Hydraulic Conductor Domains(fracture zones) are characterized one local major fracture zone(NE-1)and two local fracture zones between the FZ-1 and FZ-2 fracture zones. The Hydraulic Rock Domain(rock mass) is divided into four compartments by the above local fracture zones. Two Hydraulic Rock Domains(A, B) around the FZ-2 zone have a relatively high initial groundwater pressures up to $15kg/cm^2$ and the differences between the upper and lower groundwater levels, measured from the monitoring holes equipped with double completion, are in the range of 10 and 40 m throughout the construction stage, indicating relatively good hydraulic connection between the near surface and bedrock groundwater systems. On the other hand, two Hydraulic Rock Domains(C, D) adjacent to the FZ-1, the groundwater levels in the upper and lower zones are shown a great difference in the maximum of 120 m and the high water levels in the upper groundwater system were not varied during the construction stage. This might be resulted from the very low hydraulic conductivity$(7.2X10^{-10}m/sec)$ in the zone, six times lower than that of Domain C, D. Groundwater recharge rates obtained from the numerical modeling are 2% of the annual mean precipitation(1,356mm/year) for 20 years.

In Korea, MOCT and KOWACO published a standard for lineament map drawings, "The Handbook for the Drawing and Management of Hydrogeologic Map" in 2003. According to this guideline, hydrogeologic and related thematic maps should include characteristics of groundwater quality and quantity. These maps are generally drawn with ArcView GIS 3.x software. The activities of well notation on groundwater level map and Stiff diagram drawings on groundwater quality map require a great deal of efforts because hundreds or thousands of well data, water level data and hydrogeochemical data are produced through many kinds of investigations. As well, lineament density map is very important to survey and explore groundwater in a deep aquifer. In this study we developed some modules for well notation, Stiff diagram drawings, and lineament density value calculation with Avenue$^{TM}$ script and it was revealed that they can be very useful and easy for drawing groundwater thematic maps.

Gas springs of the television is to control the piston speed when operating under along stroke(200~300 mm, television elevation)is possible. User by this principle is capable of elevation adjustment. First carried out a flow analysis of the piston. A piston speed adjustment technique for precise pipe type cross-section was examined. The piston structure for flow rate control and elevation action is proposed. This study is the development of a gas spring of more than 50 inch television with a large television stand. Hollow piston rod for optimal control(the outer diameter 19.9 mm, the inner diameter 13.9 mm) was injected into the nitrogen gas(0.3 mm/s) in. As a result, the flow rate the pressure drop of the piston rod as the increase was increased without any change of the external force. As a result, control of the displacement via the gas spring is possible.

To improve cycling performance, the power output of the rider and the sources of resistance (e.g., air resistance, frame stiffness, and cycle mass) must be considered. From a mechanical viewpoint, we consider how the bike frame performance can be increased while decreasing the resistance. First, to improve the competitive ability of a racing track cycle, we should consider the stiffness of the bike frame including the pedal loading and aerodynamic effects when riding. Therefore, we obtained the cross-sectional area of each part of the bike frame and then aimed to minimize the drag force through an aerodynamic parametric study. In addition, the frame should remain safe under the loading applied by the rider. Under the guidelines of the UCI (union Cycliste Internationale) regulations, the bike frame has been evaluated under the proposed loading condition, and we developed a racing track cycle for elite cyclists.

We established a stochastic 3-D fracture network system for fractured rock masses located in Il-Gwang Mine, Busan, to explore the relationship between the acidity of mine drainage and fracture geometry. A field scanline survey and borehole image processing were performed to estimate the best probability distributions of fracture geometry parameters. The stochastic 3-D fracture network system constructed for the rock masses was validated and deemed to be successful. The 3-D fracture network model was suitable for developing conceptual ideas on fluid flow in fractures at a field experimental site. An injection well and three observation wells were drilled at the field experimental site to monitor the acidity of mine drainage induced by the injection of fresh water. The field experiment, which was run for 29 days, yielded a significant relationship (with a high coefficient of determination) between the fracture geometry parameters and the acidity of mine drainage. The results show that pH increased with increasing relative frequency of fracture strike, and decreased with increasing fracture density. The concentration of $SO^{2-}_4$ decreased with increasing relative frequency of fracture strike, and increased with increasing fracture density.

In this study, the strength of spatially reinforced composites (SRC) are predicted by using stiffness reduction for each structural element composed of a rod stiffness in each direction and a matrix stiffness proportional to its rod volume fraction. Maximum failure strain criteria is applied to rod failure, and modified Tsai-Wu failure criteria to matrix failure. The material properties composed of the tensile failure strain of a rod, the compressive failure strain of 3D SRC, the tensile and compressive strength of the 3D SRC in the $45^{\cir}$ rotated direction from a rod and the shear strength of the 3D SRC are measured to predict the SRC strength. The strength distributions of the 3D/4D SRC in rod and off-rod direction have the largest and the smallest values, respectively. A variable load step is selected to increase an efficiency of strength distribution calculation. Uniform load step is applied when a load history is needed. The results of compressive strength from analysis and experiment show the 18 % difference though the initial slop is coincident with each other.
