Theoretical and experimental techniques to analyze the two-dimensional liquid motion in a tank are discussed. A Lagrangian FEM with a velocity correction procedure is introduced to describe incompressible free surface fluid flow. A mesh rezoning technique is used to prevent strong distortion of finite elements in the Lagrangian description. Model test technique for sloshing tank is developed using a hydraulic type bench tester. The influence of the variation in the exciting frequency and amplitude are observed for various fill depths. The results of theoretical calculations are compared with those of experiments.

This paper attempts to analyze the effects of promotion of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) on LNG storage facilities and load patterns, and to verify economic feasibilities of NGVs as a DSM (Demand-Side Management) strategy. For these purpose, we have established an econometric mode. Results from the model indicate that natural gas demand in transportation sector will increase continuously, having a 7.84% share in total natural gas demand in 2014. By this analysis, the increased use of NGVs can result in a decreased requirement on the volume of around 1.3 LNG tanks lower in 2014. Also, it shows that TDRs can be reduced by 0.4 for the city gas and by 0.15 for the total LNG in 2014. As a conclusion, we suggest that the promotion of NGVs may play an efficient role as a DSM strategy, and should be considered as a promising strategy to optimize the investment needs in LNG sector as well as an environmental protection measures. Lastly, we acknowledge that a transportation module in our model is based on a Korean government's NGVs promotion plan, not on a market function.

Oil tank fires need to be suppressed differently from other oil-related fires, due to the high-temperature flames and hot updraft above the tank, in the former case, that cause the destruction of large amounts of foam. We studied high-capacity foam discharge systems based on the standards of the American Petroleum Institute (API), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), British Standard European Norm (BS EN), and the laws of Japan. The performance of a high-capacity foam discharge system was measured by conducting real fire experiments with model oil tanks. We concluded that lightweight and easily movable high-capacity foam discharge systems should be urgently introduced in domestic operations. Additionally, the obstacles faced by major tanks, such as long-distance installation of large-diameter fire hoses and narrowing of firefighting spaces, should be resolved depending on the conditions of the site.

Considering fluid-structure-soil interactions, a finite-element model for a liquid-storage tank is presented and the nonlinear earthquake response analysis is formulated. The tank structure is modeled considering shell elements with geometric and material nonlinearities. The fluid is represented by acoustic elements and combined with the structure using interface elements. To consider the soil-structure interactions, the near- and far-field regions of soil are modeled with solid elements and perfectly matched discrete layers, respectively. This approach is applied to the seismic fragility analysis of a 200,000 kL liquid-storage tank. The fragility curve is observed to be influenced by the amplification and filtering of rock outcrop motions at the site when the soil-structure interactions are considered.

The purpose of this study is to predict sloshing pressure of a actual tank by using measured pressure in scaled down tank and to evaluate with structural strength of LNG Corner Block. For this purpose, we performed sloshing analysis about 138K class tank by using Ansys CFX program, and were measured both average pressure and maximum peak pressure according to scaled tank ratio. Also, measured pressure was converted to pressure of the actual tank by Froude scale law, and we conducted the evaluation of structural strength about the conner block of actual size KC-1.

본 연구의 목적은 물 순환의 한 부분을 이루는 지하수에 대한 순환과정을 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 금강유역의 10개 지하수 소유역에 대해 지하수 함양량 및 유출량을 추정하였으려, 강수량, 하천유출량 및 증발산량과의 비교를 통해 거시적인 지하수 물 순환 분석을 수행하였다. 각 소유역에서의 지하수 함양량 및 유출량은 하천의 일유출 수문곡선으로부터 추정하는 방법을 이용하였으며, 토양수분 저류구조를 갖는 탱크모형을 이용하여 자 소유역별 하천유출량을 생성한 후 생성된 유출량을 분석하여 함양량 및 유출량에 대한 각 소유역별 특성치를 분석하였다. 분석결과 지하수 함양은 봄철부터 여름철까지 지속적으로 상승하는 형태를 나타내고 있었으며, 가을철에는 매우 작은 함양량을 나타내고 있었다. 지하수 유출의 경우에는 다른 계절에 비해 여름철에 상대적으로 많은 양의 유출을 보이고 있었으며, 나머지 다른 계절에는 상대적으로 유사한 크기의 유출을 보이고 있었다. 또한 모형을 통해 분석된 연간 지하수 함양량과 유출량은 매우 유사한 값을 나타내고 있었으며, 총 강수량과의 비교에서도 과거 연구결과와 유사한 길과를 나타내고 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시된 유역 내 지하수 물 순환의 정량적 해석은 지표수-지하수 연계 운영의 거시적 해석에 필요한 기본 정보를 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The wind tunnel test is one of the essential processes in the development of guided missile systems, and various wind tunnel facilities exist depending on the test requirements, various conditions, and their purposes. The Ludwieg tube is very useful in the development of guided missile systems, and we have necessitated the upgrade of the Ludwieg tube in ADD to acquire various test requirements, such as high angle of attack, repeatability, and stability. In this paper, upgrading the nozzle, vacuum tank, and model support is suggested to improve the Ludwieg tube performance, and we demonstrate a result of the solution through pressure measurement.

In this study, a theoretical analysis was performed to the flow of refilling stage in a safety injection tank, which is the core cooling system of nuclear power plant in an emergency. A theoretical model was proposed with a nonlinear governing equation defining on the flow of the refilling process of the coolant. Utilizing the Taylor-series expansion, the $1^{st}$ - order approximation flow equation was obtained, along with its analytic solution of closed type, which could predict accurately the variations of free surface height and flow rate of the coolant. The availability of theoretical result was confirmed by comparing with previous experimental results.

Two global optimization methods, the SCE-UA method and the Annealing-Simplex(A-S) method for calibrating a daily rainfall-runoff model, a Tank model, was compared with that of the Downhill Simplex method. In synthetic data study, 100% success rates for all objective functions were obtained from the A-S method, and the SCE-UA method was also consistently able to obtain good estimates. The Downhill Simplex method was converged to the true values only when the initial guess was close to the true values. In the historical data study, the A-S method and the SCE-UA method showed consistently good results regardless of objective function. An objective function was developed, which puts more weight on the low flows.
