A coastwise chemical tanker sailing at full speed has capsized in calm water and while turing. We investigate reasons of the accident and demonstrate that a proper correction for the free surface effect of the liquid cargo has not been practiced in the initial design stage and that the bow-sinkage induced in sailing has weakened the form stability of the ship. It is also shown that the liquid cargo shift occurring in turning generated a significant outward heel moment.

Vertices terminating at free surface have been investigated extensively. Most of investigations, however, are focused on surface parallel vortices and little has been known about surface normal vortex or columnar vortex. Visualized experimental results utilizing LIF technique are discussed fur the purpose of characterization of columnar vortex interacting with a clean and a contaminated free surfaces and a solid body interface in the present investigation. The results reveal that surface tension changes due to surface contamination although bulk viscosity remains constant and eventually the behavior of a columnar vortex interacting with a contaminated free surface and a solid body interface are totally different from the clean free surface case.

Chine형 선체단면 주상체의 자유표면에서의 상하운동에 수반되는 부가질량과 감쇠력을 Ursell-Tasai 방법에 의하여 계산하였다. Chine형에서 구하여진 결과는 같은 선체단면적 계수와 반폭흘수비를 갖는 등가 Lewis형의 결과와 비교하였고 선체단면의 형상이 부가질량 및 감쇠력에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. Chine형과 등가 Lewis형 선체단면 주상체에 파고가 일정한 횡파가 입사할 때의 상하운동을 고찰하였다. 이상과 같은 계산 및 고찰을 통하여 다음 결과를 얻었다. 1) 자유표면이 부가질량에 미치는 영향은 chine형이 등가 Lewis형단면보다 큰 값을 갖는다. 2) 선체단면적계수와 반폭흘수비가 같은 경우에 감쇠력의 크기는 Lewis form, single chine, double chine순서이다. 3) 선체단면계수와 반폭흘수비는 상하운동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각되며, 선체단면의 기하학적인 변형이 운동에 미치는 영향은 중요한 요소가 되질 못한다. 4) 감쇠력계수와 선체단면계수와의 관계는 간단한 관계를 유지한다.

The free-surface flow is simulated to make clear the viscous interaction of stem waves and the sub-breaking phenomena around a high speed vehicle. The Navier-Stokes equation is solved by a finite difference method where the body-fitted coordinate system, the wall function and the triple-grid system are invoked They are applied to study precisely on the stem flow of S-103 as to which extensive experimental data are available. Computations are extended to the submerged revolutional body. The numerical result shows that the gradient of M/Us is greatly influenced by the submerged depth And the stem wave is influenced by the separation due to the bow wave.

Computational results from Navier-Stokes equations are presented for the Stokes-wave/flat-plate boundary-layer and wake for small wave steepness(Ak=0.01), including exact and approximate treatments of the viscous free-surface boundary conditions. The macro-scale flow indicate that the variations of the external-flow pressure gradients cause acceleration or deceleration of the streamwise velocity component and alternating direction of the cross flow. Remarkably, the wake displays a greater response, i.e., a bias with regard to favorable as compared to adverse pressure gradients. The micro-scale flow indicates that the free-surface boundary conditions have a profound influence over the boundary layer and near/intermediate wake. Order-of-magnitude estimates are conformed to the computational results. And appreciable errors are introduced through approximations to the free-surface boundary conditions.

The effect of acid-base treatments of carbon blacks (CBs) was investigated in the mechanical properties of CBs/rubber composites. The surface characteristics of the CBs were determined by the pH, acid-base values, and surface energetics. Their mechanical properties of the composites were also evaluated by the crosslink density $(V_e)$ and tearing energy (T). As an experimental result, acidically treated CBs led to the increase of the specific component $({\gamma}s^{sp})$, resulting in decreasing the mechanical properties of the composites. However, basically treated CBs showed a higher value of the dispersive component $({\gamma}s^L)$ than that of the untreated or acidically treated CBs. It was also found that the interaction of the CBs-rubber was improved, resulting in the improvement of the crosslink density and mechanical properties of the composites. It was then remarked that the acid-base characteristics of the CB surfaces made an important role in improving the physical properties of the rubber matrix composites.

A level-set method is used for analyzing the behaviors of gas bubbles in two fluids incompressible viscous flow domain. The governing equations are solved by using a finite volume method. The numerical results are verified by comparing with the experimental and other computational results. Computations for the deformations and motions of one or multi-bubbles in the flow domain with the initial undisturbed free interface are conducted. It can be seen that numerical results for different surface tension and density ratio arise very different behaviors of bubbles. When bubbles rise near the free interface, the free interface gives some great influence on the behaviors of bubbles. The present results computed by a level-set method give useful information about the properties of bubble motions and deformations.

This study investigated the influence of atmospheric plasma factors such as RF power, treatment time, the gap distance between discharge and sample, and the gas flow rate of Ar on the surface property by using the design of experiment (DOE) method. The plasma treatment time (s), plasma power (W), gap distance (mm) between discharge and sample, and flow rate of Ar gas were in order of important factors for changing the surface free energy of PMMA plates. As a result, the most effective factor for improving the surface free energy of PMMA plates is the distance (mm) from discharge glow to sample plate. Because of the interaction between plasma power (W) and treatment time (s), the power dose (J) factor which multiply plasma power (W) by treatment time (s) should be significantly considered. The optimum condition for maximizing the surface free energy of PMMA plate was found at 1500J of power dose. Through XPS and AFM analysis, we also observed the change of chemical composition, surface morphology and roughness before and after plasma treatment. It is considered that the change of surface free energy of PMMA plate with plasma treatment is influenced by the introduction of polar functional group as well as the increase of surface roughness.

Two-dimensional large-amplitude motions in regular harmonic wave are treated in time domain, by satisfying the exact body boundary condition and the linear free surface condition. For the present numerical calculation, the method of free-surface spectral representation with simple source distribution on the instantaneous body surface has been extended to include the effect of the incident wave. Calculations of the wave exciting force are performed for a submerged circular cylinder fixed or oscillating with large amplitude. Especially, nonlinear effects on the time-mean forces are studied in detail. It is shown that relative motion between the body and the fluid particle gives a significant effect on the lift and drift forces. Also, large-amplitude motion of a submerged circular cylinder and that of a floating Lewis-form cylinder are directly simulated in time domain. In the calculation results, some nonlinear effects are shown.

The effect of anodic oxidation on high strength PAN-based carbon fibers has been studied in terms of surface functionality and surface energetics of the fiber surfaces, resulting in improving the mechanical properties of composites. According to FT-IR and XPS measurements, it reveals that the oxygen functional groups on fiber surfaces induced by an anodic oxidation largely influence the surface energetics of fibers or the mechanical interfacial properties of composites, such as the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of composites. According to the contact angle measurements based on the wicking rate of a test liquid, it is observed that anodic oxidation does lead to an increase in surface free energy of the carbon fibers, mainly due to the increase of its specific (or polar) component. From the surface energetic point of view, it is found that good wetting plays an important role in improving the degree of adhesion at interfaces between fiber and epoxy resin matrix of the resulting composites. Also, a direct linear relationship is shown between 01s/01s ratio and ILSS or between specific component and ILSS of the composites for this system.
