The backlayer phenomena of smoke in the road tunnel is evaluated through numerical experiments. A commercial code, PHOENICS is used to simulate smoke flow in the road tunnel. The independent and dependent variables are ventilation air velocity and the length of backlayer of smoke respectively. Hybrid scheme and $textsc{k}-\varepsilon$ turbulence model is adopted in the simulation process and mass residual is used as a convergence criterion. The experimental results say that the length of backlayer is reduced linearly with the increase of ventilating air velocity and that there is a critical air velocity which prevents from the onset of backlayering phenomena. One finds that there is a fresh air region near the bottom of tunnel which could make the passenger escape from the region polluted by smoke. These phenomena come from the severe vertical stratification of the smoke air mixture in the tunnel.

A two-phase Large Eddy Simulation(LES) has been conducted to investigate breakup and atomization of a liquid jet in a cross turbulent flow in a rectangular duct. Gas-droplet two-phase flow was solved by a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method which tracks every individual particles. Effects of liquid breakup models, sub-grid scale models, and a order of spatial discretization was investigated. The penetration depth in cross flow was comparable with experimental data by varying breakup model and LES scheme. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) distribution downstream of jet was analyzed.

Reserve-time migration (RTM) using a two-way wave equation is one of the most accurate migration techniques. RTM has been conducted by assuming that subsurface media are isotropic. However, anisotropic media are commonly encountered in reality. Conventional isotropic RTM may yield inaccurate results for anisotropic media. In this paper, we develop RTM algorithms for vertical transversely isotropic media (VTI) and tilted transversely isotropic media (TTI). For this, the pseudo-acoustic wave equations are used. The modeling algorithms are based on the high-order finite-difference method (FDM). The RTM algorithms are composed using the cross-correlation imaging condition or the imaging condition using virtual sources. By applying the developed RTM algorithms to the Hess VTI and BP TTI models, we could obtain better images than those obtained by the conventional isotropic RTM.

A hardware implementation of MOD(moving object detection) algorithm using EGML(effective Gaussian mixture learning)- based background subtraction to detect moving objects in video is described. Some approximations of EGML calculations are applied to reduce hardware complexity, and pipelining technique is adopted to improve operating speed. The MOD processor designed in Verilog-HDL has been verified by FPGA-in-the-loop verification using MATLAB/Simulink. The MOD processor has 2,218 slices on the Virtex5-XC5VSX95T FPGA device and its throughput is 102 MSamples/s at 102 MHz clock frequency. Evaluation results of the MOD processor for 12 images in the IEEE CDW-2012 dataset show that the average recall value is 0.7631, the average precision value is 0.7778 and the average F-measure value is 0.7535.

Basically, a general characterization procedure based on the extraction of the characteristic impedance and propagation constant for analyzing a single MIS(Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor) transmission line is used. In this paper, an analysis for a new substrate shielding MIS structure consisting of grounded cross-bars at the interface between Si and SiO2 layer using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method is presented. In order to reduce the substrate effects on the transmission line characteristics, a shielding structure consisting of grounded cross bar lines over time-domain signal has been examined. The extracted distributed frequency-dependent transmission line parameters and corresponding equivalent circuit parameters as well as quality factor have been examined as functions of cross-bar spacing and frequency. It is shown that the quality factor of the transmission line can be improved without significant change in the characteristic impedance and effectve dielectric constant.

Various types of external loads can be applied to the tunnel structure. In a shield tunnel, the vibration from the train may affect the behavior of the adjacent ground. In this study, the railway-induced vibration was estimated and applied to the shield tunnel through 3D numerical simulation. The effective stress analysis based on the finite difference method and Finn model was performed to investigate the potential of liquefaction below the tunnel. Furthermore, pore water pressure and displacement were monitored on a time domain; consequently, the liquefaction potential and dynamic response of the shield tunnel were analyzed. Consequently, it is confirmed that the generation of excess pore water pressure by train-induced vibrating load, however, the amount does not meaningfully affect the potential of liquefaction.

In this paper, a variational formulation for plane elasticity problems is derived based on an isogeometric approach. The isogeometric analysis is an emerging methodology such that the basis functions for response analysis are generated directly from NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) geometry. Furthermore, the solution space for the response analysis can be represented in terms of the same functions to represent the geometry, which enables to provide a precise construction method of finite element model to exactly represent geometry using B-spline base functions in CAD geometric modeling and analyze arbitrarily shaped structures without re-meshing. In this paper, a continuum-based adjoint sensitivity analysis method using the isogeometric approach is extensively derived for the plane elasticity problems. The conventional shape optimization using the finite element method has some difficulties in the parameterization of geometry In the isogeometric analysis, however, the geometric properties are already embedded in the B-spline basis functions and control points so that it has potential capability to overcome the aforementioned difficulties. Through some numerical examples, the developed isogeometric sensitivity analysis method is verified to show excellent agreement with finite difference sensitivity.

Field Model에 의한 화재해석방법은 화재현상을 지배하는 망정식윤 직접 해석하기 때문에 Zone model에 비해 공간내의 상세 정보를 제공함과 동시에 다양한 화재형태에 내해 보편적인 적용이 가능하다. Field model은 해석영역을 구성하는 격자점에 대해 이산화된 지배 방정식을 해석하는 과정에서 차분방법이나 격자의 크기에 따라 수치오류가 발생할 수 있다. 특히 격자수는 계산시간에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 인자이기 때문에 효율적인 계산을 위해서는 격자크기의 최적화가 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 구획공간 화재의 최적 격자크기 선정을 위해 격자해상도(Grid Resolution)에 따른 해석결과의 독립성을 비교분석하고 이를 통해 구획공간화재에 대한 격자 최적화 방법에 대해 논의하고자 한다. 화재크기 및 특성 길이에 따른 격자의존성을 파악하기 위해 ISO-9705 표준화재실에 내해 적용된 격자크기는 최소 3 cm에서 최대 30 cm까지 총 7 종류의 격자크기에 대해 FDS 해석이 수행되었다. 해석결과, 환기량이 충분한 화재에 대해서도 격자해상도가 16보다 작은 경우 출입구의 유동은 격자에 따른 독립성을 확보하지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며 화재발열량이 증가함에 따라 독립적인 해석해를 얻기 위해서는 더 큰 격자해상도를 요구하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 현재 실무에서 격자최적화를 위해 사용되고 있는 격자선정법에 대한 재검토가 필요하며 화재특성 및 구획공간 조건에 따른 최적격자 조건을 도출하기 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

In this paper, we have investigated the characteristics of cyclic voltammetry of a self-assembled mono-layer(SAM) electrode which was modified by 3-Mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) on gold nanoparticle(AuNP)-deposited electrode. Also, the transport phenomena of electrons and ions around the electrode have been analyzed. The governing equation and its boundary conditions by adopting the semi-infinite diffusion model were formulated for the mass-transfer dominant system. In order to obtain the numerical solutions of cyclic voltammetry(CV) on SAM electrodes, MATLAB program was implemented by applying the explicit finite difference method. Resulting CV program for the SAM-modified electrode was verified in good agreements with the experimental CV results for the 3-MPA on AuNP electrode.
