RANS computational analysis was performed on the head of the launch vehicle including the hammerhead nose pairing in the supersonic regime. The two-dimensional axisymmetric analysis was performed by using laminar, fully turbulent and transition models and compared with the experimental data. It was observed that different flow phenomena occurred depending on the Reynolds number. Under the high Reynolds number condition, the boundary layer becomes turbulent, which is not separated from the surface of the launch vehicle. With the low Reynolds number condition, laminar separation bubble was produced due to the separation and reattachment of the boundary layer on the expansion-compression edge of the hammerhead type nose fairing. The three-dimensional computations with the angle of attack showed a fully detached vortical structure due to the laminar separation bubble. It is proved that the turbulent transition should be considered to predict the separation bubble with the Reynolds number.

This paper shows combustion characteristics of fallen leaves of Quercus variabilis and Pinus densiflora according to variation of mass densities. Combustion temperature, mass loss rate, flame height, duration of combustion and velocity of hot gas are measured and analyzed. For the experiment 10cm heighted baskets with varying diameters of 20, 30, 40 and 50cm are used for the combustion and the pilot ignition is carried on the top of the fuel. In case of Pinus densiflora mass loss rate, duration of flame, flame height and combustion time become larger as the mass density and diameter of basket increase, on the other hand Quercus variabilis shows saturation characteristics in mass loss rate and flame height. Velocity of hot gas is proportional to flame height.

In hypersonic regime, the complicated interaction between the air and surface of aircraft results in intensive aerodynamic heating on body. Provided this phenomenon occurs on a hypersonic vehicle, the temperature of the body extremely increases. And consequently, thermal deformation is produced and material properties are degraded. Furthermore, those affect both the aerothermoelastic stability and thermal safety of structures significantly. With the background, thermal safety and dynamic stability are studied according to the altitude, flight time and Mach number. Based on the investigation, design guideline is suggested to guarantees the structural integrity of hypersonic vehicles in terms of both of thermal safety and dynamic stability.

This paper reports the performance of solar domestic hot water systems manufactured with heat pipes. A series of tests were conducted on a number of systems to elicit the most suitable configuration of the system for possible commercialization in Korea. The heat pipe is made with a copper tube and the respective length of the evaporator, adiabatic, and condenser sections are 1700mm, 100mm and 200mm. The evaportor section is finned with a copper plate to increase solar input for its proper operation as a heat pipe. Results show quite an interesting performance data stemming from the difference in working fluids, presence of wick, and other various design parameters associated with the collection and utilization of solar energy.

Propeller cavitation extent, pressure fluctuation induced by cavitation, pressure distribution on propeller blade, total velocity distribution and nominal wake distribution for a MR Taker were computed in both conditions of model test and sea trial using a code STAR-CCM⁺. Then some of the results were compared with model test data at LCT and full-scale measurement (Ahn et al (2014); Kim et al (2014)] in order to confirm the availability of a numerical prediction method and to get the physical insight of local flow around a ship and propeller. The nominal wake distributions computed and measured by LDV velocimeter on the variation of on-coming velocity show the wake contraction characteristics proposed by Hoekstra (1974). The numerical prediction of propeller cavitation extent on a blade angular position and pressure fluctuation level on each location of pressure sensors are very similar with the experimental results.

In the present study, the model-scale Propeller Open Water (POW) tests for the propeller of 176K bulk carrier and 8600TEU container ship were conducted through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. In order to solve the incompressible viscous flow field, the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RaNS) equations were employed as the governing equations. The γ-Reθ(gamma-Re-theta) transition model combined with the SST k-ωturbulence model was introduced to describe the laminar-turbulence transition considering the low Reynolds number of model-scale. Firstly, the flow simulation developing over a flat plate was performed to verify the transition modeling, in which the wall shear stresses were compared with experiments and other numerical results. Then, to investigate the effect of the model, the CFD simulation for the POW test was performed and the simulated propeller performance was validated through comparison with the experiment conducted at Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO).

In this study, the mechanical property of anti-fouling coating using CNF was evaluated to prevent the durability and stability of structure exposed the marine environment. Anti-fouling coating using CNF was prepared by CNF, AKD and waste glass powder, and contact angle test, drying time, viscosity analysis and microstructure were performed. When coating on one number of times, It was showed to relatively high hydrophobic performance in steel. And It was confirmed that the contact angle increased as the content of AKD increased in cement mortar. When coating on three number of times, the surface was confirmed super-hydrophobic at maximum of 151.6°. When mixing waste glass powder, the surface was showed to relatively high hydrophobic. It is pseudo plastic fluid when CNF and distilled water were prepared in a ratio of 1:1, And Anti fouling coating is judged to be suitable for use as coating on marine structure.

Effects of particle size and high pressure processing on the extraction rate of oil compounds from soybean powder were evaluated by Soxhlet method using hexane and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using $CO_{2}$. SFE was carried out at 4,000 psi and $50^{\circ}C$ for 4 hr. The mean particle sizes were varied from 26.7 to 862.0 ${\mu}m$ by controlling milling time. Saturation solubility increased as the particle size decreased. At large particle size, high pressure processing (HPP) showed higher extraction yield in both hexane extraction and SFE, but, as the particle size decreased, the HPP was irrelevant to the extraction yield in SFE. The higher extraction rate obtained from the smaller particle size. The scanning electronic microscopy of soybean powder treated by HPP showed pores on the surface of the particle. The higher extraction rate and yield from HPP treatment might be due to the less internal resistance of transferring the solvent and miscellar in the solid matrix by collapsing of tissues.

Currently, fluid transfer steel pipes take a lot of time and expense to maintain all facilities due to new construction and painting or corrosion and aging. Therefore, this study was conducted for designing a CFRP pipe structure with high corrosion resistance and chemical resistance as a substitute for steel pipes. The helical/hoop pattern was cross-laminated to improve durability, and HNT was added to suppress the moisture absorption phenomenon of the epoxy. The HNT/CFRP pipe was manufactured by a filament winding process, and performed a mechanical property test, and a moisture absorption test in distilled water at 70℃. As a result, the highest bending strength was obtained when the hoop pattern was laminated with a thickness equivalent to 0.6% of the pipe. The 0.5 wt% HNT specimen had the highest moisture absorption resistance. Also, the delamination phenomenon at the interlayer interface was delayed, resulting in the lowest strength reduction rate.

The Geo-Reservoir Experimental Analogue Technology (GREAT) cell was designed to recreate the thermal-hydro-mechanical conditions of deep subsurface in the laboratory. This apparatus can generate a polyaxial stress field using lateral loading elements, which rotate around the longitudinal axis of a sample and is capable of performing a fluid flow test for samples containing fractures. In the present study, numerical simulations were carried out for triaxial compression tests using the GREAT cell and the mechanical behavior of samples under different conditions of lateral loading was investigated. We simulated an actual case, in which triaxial compression tests were conducted for a polymer sample without fractures, and compared the results between the numerical analysis and experiment. The surface strain (circumferential strain) of the sample was analyzed for equal and non-equal horizontal confining pressures. The results of the comparison showed a good consistency. Additionally, for synthetic cases with a fracture, we investigated the effect of the friction and type of fracture surface on the deformation behavior.
