The characteristics of flows, temperatures, and concentrations of oxygen are numerically studies in the Czochralski furnace with a uniform axial magnetic field. Important governing factors to the flow fields include buoyancy, thermocapillarity, centrifugal force, magnetic force, diffusion and segregation coefficients of the oxygen, evaporation coefficient in the form of SiO, and ablation rate of crucible wall. With an assumption that the flow fields have reached the steady state, which means that two velocity components in the meridional plane and circumferential velocity, temperatures, electric current intensity become non-transient, then unsteady concentration field of oxygen has been analyzed with an initially uniform oxygen concentration. Oxygen transports due to convection and diffusion in the Czochralski flow field and oxygen flux through the growing crystal surface has been investigated.

For the extension of the flash method the heat diffusion equation with heat loss and with an arbitrary heat pulse is mathematically analyzed. In the analysis the heat loss includes the axial and radial directions on the front, rear and peripheral surfaces. The heat pulse is irradiated from the source to the front surface of the sample and the heat receiving area on the front surface is controlled by the apertures of an optical system. From this analysis the thermal diffusivity of the samples can be determined more precisely than before by the data reduction method using various percent time. The data can be obtained by the extended radial flash technique adjusted correctly the heating area on the central part of the front surface with a proper aperture or the conventional axial flash technique heated uniformly all parts of the front surface.

Recently, the international community, including the International Maritime Organization (IMO), has strengthened regulations on air pollution emissions of ships, and eco-friendly ships are actively being developed to reduce exhaust gas emissions. Among them, rotor sail (RS), a wind-assisted ship propulsion system, is attracting attention again. RS is a cylindrical device installed on the ship deck, that generates hydrodynamic lift using a magnus effect. This is a next generation eco-friendly auxiliary propulsion technology, and Enercon company, which developed RS-applied ships, announced that fuel savings of more than 30% are possible. In this study, optimal installation conditions such as RS spacing and arrangement type were selected when multiple RSs were installed on ships. AR=5.1, SR=1.0, and D_e/D was fixed at 2.0 according to the RS arrangement, and the wind direction was considered only for the unidirectional +y-axis. Regarding arrangement conditions, five conditions were set at 3D intervals in the +x-axis direction from 3D to 15D and five conditions in the +y-axis direction from 5D to 25D. C_L, C_D and aerodynamic efficiency (C_L/C_D) were compared according to the square(□) and diamond(◇) shape arrangements. Consequently, the effect of RS on the longitudinal distance was not significantly different. However, in the case of RS flow characteristics according to the transverse distance, the interaction effect of RS was the greatest when the two RSs almost matched the wind direction. In the case of the RS flow characteristics according to the arrangement, notably, when the wind blew in the forward (0°) direction, the diamond (◇) arrangement was least affected by the backward flow between RSs.

As the problems of global warming are brought up recently, many skillful solutions for developing new renewable energy are suggested. One of the most remarkable things is ocean energy. Korea has abundant ocean energy resources owing to geographical characteristics surrounded by sea on three sides, thus the technology of commercialization about tidal current power, wave power is demanded. Especially, Tidal energy conversion system is a means of maintaining environment naturally. Tidal current generation is a form to produce electricity by installing rotors, generators to convert a horizontal flow generated by tidal current into rotating movement. According to rotor direction, a tidal current turbine is largely distinguished between horizontal and vertical axis shape. Power capacity depends on the section size crossing a rotor and tidal current speed. We therefore investigated three dimensional flow analysis and performance evaluation using commercial ANSYS-CFX code for an 100 kW class horizontal axis turbine for low water level. Then We also studied three dimensional flow characteristics of a rotating rotor and blade surface streamlines around a rotor. As a result, We found that torque increased with TSR, the maximum torque occurred at TSR 3.77 and torque decreased even though TSR increased. Moreover we could get power coefficient 0.38 at designed flow velocity.

The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) has been widely used to determine the mechanical properties of materials at high loading rates. However, to ensure test reliability, the source of measurement error must be identified and eliminated. During the experiment, specimens were placed between the incident and the transmit bar. Contact friction between the test bars and specimen may cause errors. In this study, numerical experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of friction on the test results. In the SHPB test, the stress measured by the transmitted bar is assumed to be the flow stress of the test specimen. However, performing numerical experiments, it was shown that the stress measured by the transmit bar is axial stress components. When the contact surface is frictionless, the flow stress and axial stress of the specimen are approximately equal. On the other hand, when the contact surface is not frictionless, the flow stress and axial stress are no longer equal. The effect of friction on the difference between the flow stress and axial stress was investigated.

In this study, closed-cell aluminum foam with an initial crack was investigated to produce an axial load-time graph. Using the 10-kN Landmarks of MTS Corporation, a 15-mm/min velocity of mode I shape was applied to the aluminum foam specimen using the displacement control method. ABAQUS 6.10 simulation was used to model and analyze the identical model in three dimensions under conditions identical to those of the experiment. The energy release rate was calculated on the basis of an axial load-displacement graph obtained from the experiment and a transient image of the crack length, and then an FE model was analyzed on the basis of this fracture energy condition. The relation between load and displacement was discussed; it was found that the aluminum foam deformed somewhat less than the adhesive layer owing to the difference in elastic modulus.

Recently, nematic and nematic-cholesteric mixtures of substances have been discovered which have stimulated progress in electronics research and industry. In the liquid crystalline state, compounds with nematic mesopheses possess the ability to scatter light, depending on the strength of an applied electric field. The rewaking of interest in this fascinating but long-neglected area has occasioned the introduction of the subjects at the situation of the chemists. Since 1888 year, approximately 2000 compounds have been found to possess the unusual properties of what are commonly referred to as liquid crystals. In this paper, a comprehensive review will not be attempthed here. Nevertheless, some general information necessary to familarize the reader with rather exotic field will facilitate an understanding of the new effect and its application.

Center of photon mass, defined as the center of axial photon distribution in each half, is proposed as a unified design parameter in quarter wavelength shifted(QWS) DFB lasers. Shown is the way the parameter is related to the threshold pain difference and uniformity in axial photon density, which determine single-frequency stability of DFB lasers. Also, a general rule for single-frequency DFB laser design is presented. Using the design rule, we propose a sampled grating QWS-DFB laser that has a wider $_KL$ range 0f 100% single-frequency yield.

The propagation of coherent time-harmonic elastic SH waves in a medium with random distribution of cylindrical inclusions is studied for characterizing the dynamic elastic modulus and the attenuation property of fiber-reinforced composite materials. A multiple scattering theory using the single scattering coefficients in conjunction with the Lax's quasicrystalline approximation is derived and from which the dispersion relation for such medium is obtained. The pair-correlation functions between the cylinders which are needed to formulate the multiple scattering interaction between the cylinders are obtained by Monte Carlo simulation method.From the numerically calculated complex wavenumbers, the propagation speed of the average wave, the coherent attenuation coefficient and the effective shear modulus are presented as functions of frequency and area density.
