공간적 화염전파에 대한 실험적인 파악을 통하여 오토엔진에서의 연소과정과 진행을 위한 깊은 통찰을 할 수 있다. 그것을 통하면 매우 희박한 공기, 연료 혼합기의 경우 실린더에서 직접소염 과정을 확인할 수도 있고 hydrocarbon의 불완전 연소와 나타나는 qunching zone간의 관계를 조사할 수도 있다. 광전도 섬유기술(Lichtleit-fasertechnik)을 사용하여 새로 개발된 측정방법을 이용하여 단기통 오토엔진에서 화염면의 공간적인 전파과정과 매우 희박한 공기 연료 혼합기 에서의 quench zone의 출현을 조사하였다. 측정결과들은 공기연료 혼합기가 희박해 질수록 화 염전파 과정이 점점 느려지는 것을 보여준다. 아주 높은 공기 과잉율을 갖는 엔진 운전에서는 화염속도와 연소속도가 매우 급하게 감소한다. 그리하여 화염면은 팽창 단계에서 상대적으로 증가하는 피스톤속도 때문에 더이상 피스톤을 따를 수가 없으며 그로 인해 직접 피스톤상부에 소염대가 형성된다. 그에 의해 배기가스에서의 hydrocarbon 방출의 급격한 증가와 효율이 급격히 감소하는 엔진 운전과 관련이 지어진다.

The fuel-lean premixed flame has been considered one of the most efficient ways to reduce $NO_X$ emission during a combustion process. However, it is difficult to achieve stable fuel-lean premixed flames over the wide range of equivalence ratios: therefore, the application of fuel-lean flames to a practical combustion system is rather limited. In this study, the stability characteristics of fuel-lean flames stabilized by fuel-rich flames are investigated experimentally using a slot burner as a part of the basic research for practical application such as lean burn engines. Spontaneous emission of radical species were examined to understand the stability mechanisms of rich-lean premixed flames. The presence of fuel-rich flames could significantly lower the lean limit of fuel-lean flames. The stability of a fuel-lean flame is enhanced with the increase of fuel flow rate in a fuel-rich flame; how ever, it is not sensitive to the equivalence ratio of fuel-rich flames in the range of 1.2-2.4. The mechanisms of stable rich-lean premixed flames could be understood based on the characteristics of triple flame.

Several approaches to recommendation systems have been studied. One of the most successful technologies for building personalization and recommendation systems is collaborative filtering, which is a technique that provides a process of filtering customer information based on such information profiles. Collaborative filtering systems, however, have a sparsity if there is not enough data to recommend. In this paper, we suggest a movie recommendation system, based on the weighted personal propensity and the collaborating filtering system, in order to provide a solution to such sparsity. Furthermore, we assess the system's applicability by using the open database MovieLens, and present a weighted personal propensity framework for improvement in the performance of recommender systems. We successfully come up with a movie recommendation system through the optimal personalization factors.

Personalization aims to provide customized contents to each user by using the user's personal preferences. In this sense, the core parts of personalization are regarded as recommendation technologies, which can recommend the proper contents or products to each user according to his/her preference. Prior studies have proposed novel recommendation technologies because they recognized the importance of recommender systems. Among several recommendation technologies, collaborative filtering (CF) has been actively studied and applied in real-world applications. The CF, however, often suffers sparsity or scalability problems. Prior research also recognized the importance of these two problems and therefore proposed many solutions. Many prior studies, however, suffered from problems, such as requiring additional time and cost for solving the limitations by utilizing additional information from other sources besides the existing user-item matrix. This study proposes a novel implicit rating approach for collaborative filtering in order to mitigate the sparsity problem as well as to enhance the performance of recommender systems. In this study, we propose the methods of reducing the sparsity problem through supplementing the user-item matrix based on the implicit rating approach, which measures the trust level among users via the existing user-item matrix. This study provides the preliminary experimental results for testing the usefulness of the proposed model.

In the present study, a 3-D Parallel DSMC method in developed on unstructured meshes for the efficient simulation of rarefied gas flows. Particle tracing between cells in achieved based on a linear shape function extended to three dimensions. For high parallel efficiency, successive domain decomposition is applied to achieve load balancing between processors by accounting for the number of particles. A particle weighting technique is also adopted to handle flows containing gases of significantly dirrerent number densities in the same flow domain. Application is made for flow past a 3-D delta wing and the result is compared with that from experiment and other calculation. Flow around a rocket payload at 100km altitude is also solved and the effect of plume back flow from the nozzle in studied.

Lean combustion is one of the most promising method for increasing engine efficiency and reducing the exhaust emission from SI gas engines. Due to the possibility of partial burn and misfire, however, under lean burn operation, stable flame kernel formation and fast burn rate are needed to guarantee a successful subsequent combustion. Experiment data were obtained on a single-cylinder CNG fueled SI engine to investigate the effect of direct injection, spark timing and variation of injection timing. Experimental results show that lean burn limit is ${\lambda}$=1.3 with port injection, and expansion of lean burn limit ${\lambda}$=1.4 with direct injection method, due to increase of turbulence intensity in cylinder and stratified charge. Combustion duration in lean region is improved by using the variation of injection timing.

미세유동에 대한 폭발적인 관심에 의해 이 분야의 연구는 다양한 측면에서 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 사각 미세채널에서의 슬립유동에 관한 연구 중 아직 제대로 이루어져 있지 않은 마찰특성에 관한 종횡비의 영향에 초점을 맞추어 3차원 수치해석을 행하였다. 그 결과 종횡비가 1.0 일 때 상하 벽면 및 좌우측 벽면에서의 전단음력은 동일하나, 종횡비가 감소함에 따라 전단응력은 상하 벽면과 좌우측 벽면이 상이한 강도로 증가함을 보였다. 또한 Knudsen 수의 증가에 따라서는 전단응력이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 벽면에서의 전단응력은 종횡비를 증가시키거나 혹은 Knudsen 수를 증가시키면 감소시킬 수 있으며, 마찰계수(fRe)도 종횡비를 증가시키거나 혹은 Knudsen 수를 증가시키면 감소됨을 밝혔다.

Effects of fuel injection timing on the lean misfire limit of a sequential MPI SI engine has been investigated. To investigate the interaction of injection timing and intake flow characteristics, so called axial stratification phenomena, 4 kinds of different intake swirl port of the same combustion chamber geometry have been teated in a single cylinder engine test bench. And 2 kinds of fuel, gasoline and compressed natural gas(CNG), were used to see the effect of liquid fuel vaporization. Result shows that combination of port swirl and injection timing governs the lean misfire limit and lean misfire limit envelopes remain almost the same for a given ratio regardless of engine speed. It is also found that two phase flow has some effects on lean misfire limit.

This paper is the first of companion papers, which investigate port-masking effects on lean misfire limit. Port-masking was applied to commercial SOHC 3-valve and DOHC 4-valve engine by inserting masking plates between manifold and port. To induce various conditions of stratification, six types of masking plates were applied. The masking plates were placed in the upstream of injector to prevent wall wetting and two ports were not separated to permit both fuel and air entering through masked port. The results were compared with those by conventional port throttling. The results show that lean misfire limit mainly depends on masking direction, that is, high lean misfire limit is achieved when the port near the spark plug is masked. The mechanism of stratification by masking is different from axial stratification by port throttling. In this case, the rich mixture entering through masked port plays a very important role in the stratification process.
