In hybrid rocket combustion, the oxidizer swirl injection is frequently used to stabilize the combustion as the rotational velocity component affects the boundary layer flow. However, as the swirl strength increases, a problem arises where the combustion performance changes too much. Thus, this study attempts to control the low frequency instability while minimizing the change in combustion performance by adapting attenuated swirl injection with fuel insert used in reference [7]. To this end, a series of experimental tests were performed by varying swirl intensity and the location of the fuel insert. In the tests, the occurrence of combustion instability and combustion performance were closely monitored. The results confirmed that combustion instability was successfully suppressed at the condition of the swirl angle 6 degree and the location of fuel insert 310 mm. And, the changes in combustion pressure, O/F ratio, and fuel regression rate were found as minimal compared to the baseline case. Also the results reconfirmed that the formation of positive coupling between two high frequency oscillations in 500 Hz band, combustion pressure(p') and heat release oscillation(q'), is the necessary and sufficient condition of the occurrence of low frequency instability.

자동차의 현가장치에 대한 능동제어연구는 국내외적으로 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 수동식현가장치는 단순히 스프링과 감쇠기로 차체의 진동을 수동 제어 하므로 성능 향상에 한계가 존재하게 된다. 수동식 현가장치가 강성계수와 감쇠계수를 조절함으로써 차체로 들어오는 진동을 억제하는 반면, 능동식제 어는 보통 유압을 이용하여 효율적으로 차체에 들어오는 진동을 억제시키게 된다. 일반적으로 자동차가 능동현가장치 설계시 요구되는 사항은 탑승자의 승차감, 조종성, 현가장치의 공간확보 문제, 경제성(제어력), 실제적으로 자동 차에 적용할 수 있는 능동제어기법인가 하는 문제이다. 자동차 능동식 현가 장치는 보통 1/4 car (2자유도계), Full-car 모델 (7자유도계) 등으로 모델링 을 하여 능동제어기를 설계한다. 1/4 car 모델의 특징은 해석이 비교적 단순 하고 현가장치의 동적거동을 이해하는데 유용하고 실험을 하거나 실제 자동 차에 적용하기 쉬운 반면에 Full-car 모델에 비해 제어력의 효율이 떨어진다 는 단점이 있다. 그 이유는 1/4 car 모델은 차체의 동역학적 특성을 고려하 여 설계하지 않았기 때문에 4개의 독립현가차축에서는 오직 그 현가축방향 으로 발생하는 수직방향의 진동만을 제어하기 때문이다. 따라서 동역학적 역 성에 기인하는 운동을 제어하는 비효율적인 제어력이 공급된다는 단점을 갖 는다. 이에 비해 full-car 모델은 주행모드(수직, 롤링, 피칭운동)간의 연성을 고려하여 제어기를 설계할 수 있기 때문에 1/4 car 모델에 비해 제어력의 효 율이 높다는 장점이 있는 반면에 모델이 수학적으로 복잡하므로 제어력을 구하는데 계산량이 많고, 실제 자동차에 적용하기에 복잡하다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 쉽게 실험할 수 있고, 실용화할 수 있는 1/4 car 모델에 대하여 능동제어기를 설계하여 실제자동차에 능동제어기를 적용할 때 참고가 될 수 있도록 하였다. 자동차는 저주파영역의 밴드통과필터 역할 을 하므로 저주파에서의 성능, 특히 탑승자가 민감하게 느끼는 0.5Hz - 10Hz 부근의 주파수성능은 승차감, 조종성에 상당히 중요하다. 이에 본 논문 에서는 0.5Hz - 10Hz 부근의 승차감, 조종성의 향상에 초점을 두고 차체의 속도를 출력변수로 한 LQG/LTR 제어기를 설계하였다. LQG/LTR 설계기법 은 안정도-강인성이 좋은 체계적인 설계기법으로서 전 상태를 측정할 필요 가 없으므로 실제 적용시 효과적이다. 또한 자동차의 제원의 변화에 대한 고 유치의 민감도해석과 새로운 개념으로 안정도-강인성(Robustness)해석을 하 여 수동시스템과 능동시스템의 강인성을 비교하였다.

The effectiveness of the pogo suppression device (PSD) on the response of the piping system simulating the fuel (or oxidizer) supply lines of the rocket engines was investigated. The system response defined as the ratio of the flow rate to the pressure in the main tube was obtained for various PSD gas volumes $((0\~2)\times10^{-3}m^3)$ and three different baffle hole diameters (5, 50, 115mm). Existence of a gas volume in the PSD reduced the system resonance frequency. With a larger gas volume, the resonance frequency became lower, but only slightly, while the fluctuations of the main tube pressure and the flow rate damped down considerably. The resonance frequency decreased with the increase of the PSD inlet restriction (or the decrease of the baffle hole diameter), though slightly. However, with a larger inlet restriction, the PSD pressure wave showed a delayed response with the smaller amplitude compared to the pressure variation in the main tube.

This paper presents a dynamic characteristics of flow induced vibration of circular cylinder set with inclined angle against flow direction. The effect of the cylinder bounded by spiral fin and wire on the damping of flow induced vibration is investigated, i.e., inclined angle, spiral pitch angle and number of spiral thread are studied. As the results, the cylinder with spiral fin is most effective for the damping. Also the cylinder bounded by pitch angle 50.deg. and 2 spiral thread is most effective.

This paper presents a tracking gain-up controller design method to control effectively the vibration of tracking actuator caused by external shocks and remaining velocity after seek control. A pole placement constraint is considered to assure a desired transient response against the vibration of tracking actuator. A loop gain-up constraint is introduced to hold the tracking gain-up loop gain and control bandwidth within allowable bounds. The pole placement constraint is expressed by a matrix inequality and the loop gain-up constraint is considered as an objective function so that genetic algorithm can be applied. Finally, a tracking gain-up controller is obtained by integrating a genetic algorithm with LMI design approach. The proposed tracking gain-up controller design method is applied to the track-following system of a DVD recording device and its effectiveness is evaluated through the experimental results.

The ouput power of wave energy system in buoy is determined according to the inner diameter of oscillating water column and flow resistance. The increase of adhered shellfish inside the water column leads to decrease the inner diameter of wave energy converter. Influx loss of seawater reduces the efficiency of output power in the wave generation system. In this paper, the test result of AFS characteristic is described for preventing the deposition with shellfish and etc. The current of anode is controlled by buck converter, and the control algorithm developed for AFS in buoy. The experimental results is shown excellent preventing capapbility of AFS in buoy.

Thermal Marangoni flow has been observed inside droplets on heated surfaces, finally resulting in a coffee stain effect. This study aims to visualize and control the thermal Marangoni flow by employing periodic vertical vibration. The variations in the contact angle and internal volume of the droplet as it evaporates is observed by using a combination of continuous light and a still camera. With regard to the internal velocity, the particle image velocimetry system is applied to visualize the internal thermal Marangoni flow. In order to estimate the internal temperature gradient and surface tension on the surface of a droplet, the theoretical model based on the conduction and convection theory of heat transfer is applied. Thus, the internal velocity increases with an increase in plate temperature. The flow directions of the Marangoni and gravitational flows are opposite, and hence, it may be possible to control the coffee stain effect.

풍력발전기 성능은 유동의 안정성과 풍속에 의해 결정되는데, 이때 유동 불안정성은 풍력발전기의 성능뿐만 아니라 구조적 문제를 함께 유발시킨다. 본 연구에서는 풍력발전기 타워 후류에서의 불안정성을 최소화시키기 위하여 타워 단면의 기초 형상설계 연구를 수행하였다. 기존의 풍력발전기 타워 형상에 부가 구조물을 설치함으로써 Karman vortex의 생성을 지연시키고 와류 간섭현상을 줄여 풍력발전기의 안정성을 증대시키고자 하였다. 이를 위해 다양한 타워 단면 형상에 대하여 양력계수 및 항력계수를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 반지름의 1/2 길이의 자유류 방향 tip과 splitter plate를 후방에 설치하는 것이 후류 불안정성을 억제하는데 가장 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

It is very important to understand and control the sloshing in a liquid container that is partially filled with liquid. Previous studies focused primarily on the sloshing and resonance caused by sinusoidal excitations, while the present study focuses on understanding and suppressing sloshing in a container that moves rapidly from a given point to another in industrial applications. To achieve this, we first numerically predict the two-phase flow induced by the horizontal movement of a rectangular container. Then we analyze the effects of container-velocity profile (in particular acceleration/deceleration duration) on sloshing. Results show that sloshing is significantly suppressed when the acceleration/deceleration duration is a multiple of the 1st-mode natural period of sloshing.
