  • The permeability coefficient is an essential parameter for the study of seepage flow in fractured rock mass. This paper discusses the feasibility and application value of using readily available RQD (rock quality index) data to estimate mine water inflow and grouting quantity. Firstly, the influence of different fracture frequencies on permeability in a unit area was explored by combining numerical simulation and experiment, and the relationship between fracture frequencies and pressure and flow velocity at the monitoring point in fractured rock mass was obtained. Then, the stochastic function generation program was used to establish the flow analysis model in fractured rock mass to explore the relationship between flow velocity, pressure and analyze the universal law between fracture frequency and permeability. The concepts of fracture width and connectivity are introduced to modify the permeability calculation formula and grouting formula. Finally, based on the on-site grouting water control example, the rock mass quality index is used to estimate the mine water inflow and the grouting quantity. The results show that it is feasible to estimate the fracture frequency and then calculate the permeability coefficient by RQD. The relationship between fracture frequency and RQD is in accordance with exponential function, and the relationship between structure surface frequency and permeability is also in accordance with exponential function. The calculation results are in good agreement with the field monitoring results, which verifies the rationality of the calculation method. The relationship between the rock mass RQD index and the rock mass permeability established in this paper can be used to invert the mechanical parameters of the rock mass or to judge the permeability and safety of the rock mass by using the mechanical parameters of the rock mass, which is of great significance to the prediction of mine water inflow and the safety evaluation of water inrush disaster management.

  • The heat and flow characteristics in a single-phase parallel-flow heat exchanger was examined numerically to obtain its optimal shape. A response surface method was introduced to approximately predict its performance with respect to the design parameters over the design domain. The inflow/outflow angle of the working fluid, the location of inlet/outlet, the protruding height of flat tube and the height of header were chosen as a design parameter The evaluation of the relative importance of the design parameters was performed based on a sensitivity analysis. An efficiency index was used as an evaluation characteristics value to simultaneously consider both the heat transfer and the pressure drop. The efficiency index of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, was increased by 9.3%.

  • In this study the numerical analysis on staging flow with forward ejector is conducted. The forward ejector plays a vital role in staging, which jets out from aftbody. This staging environment needs careful flow analysis for securing staging safety Present study investigates the steady inviscid staging flow phenomena with variation of separation distance. The performance index is forebody base pressure coefficients. The three dominant flow phenomena are observed according to separation distance which could be told as impinging stage, cavity vortex dominancy stage, and pure base flow characteristics stage. Impinging stage shows high thrust for forebody as one might think. However, important point is that cavity vortex dominancy stage can be more favorable for separation than impinging stage as one simply think in certain separation distance.

  • Recent researches on nanofluids have mainly focused on the increase of thermal conductivity of nanofluids under static condition. The ultimate goal of using nanofluids, however, is to enhance the heat transfer performance under fluid flow. So it has been highly necessary to devise a simple and accurate measuring apparatus which effectively compares the heat transfer capability between the base and nanofluids. Though the convective heat transfer coefficient is not the complete index for the heat transfer capability, it might be one of useful indications of heat transfer enhancement. In this article, the working principles of experimental system for convective heat transfer coefficient around a heated fine wire in cross flow of nanofluids and its application example to three samples of nano lubrication oils are explained in detail.

  • Using a strain-controlled rheometer [Rheometrics Dynamic Analyzer (RDA II)], the steady shear flow properties of a semi-solid ointment base (vaseline) have been measured over a wide range of shear rates at temperature range of $25{\sim}60^{\circ}C$. In this article, the steady shear flow properties (shear stress, steady shear viscosity and yield stress) were reported from the experimentally obtained data and the effects of shear rate as well as temperature on these properties were discussed in detail. In addition, several inelastic-viscoplastic flow models including a yield stress parameter were employed to make a quantitative evaluation of the steady shear flow behavior, and then the applicability of these models was examined by calculating the various material parameters (yield stress, consistency index and flow behavior index). Main findings obtained from this study can be summarized as follows : (1) At temperature range lower than $40^{\circ}C$, vaseline is regarded as a viscoplastic material having a finite magnitude of yield stress and its flow behavior beyond a yield stress shows a shear-thinning (or pseudo-plastic) feature, indicating a decrease in steady shear viscosity as an increase in shear rate. At this temperature range, the flow curve of vaseline has two inflection points and the first inflection point occurring at relatively lower shear rate corresponds to a static yield stress. The static yield stress of vaseline is decreased with increasing temperature and takes place at a lower shear rate, due to a progressive breakdown of three dimensional network structure. (2) At temperature range higher than $45^{\circ}C$, vaseline becomes a viscous liquid with no yield stress and its flow character exhibits a Newtonian behavior, demonstrating a constant steady shear viscosity regardless of an increase in shear rate. With increasing temperature, vaseline begins to show a Newtonian behavior at a lower shear rate range, indicating that the microcrystalline structure is completely destroyed due to a synergic effect of high temperature and shear deformation. (3) Over a whole range of temperatures tested, the Herschel-Bulkley, Mizrahi-Berk, and Heinz-Casson models are all applicable and have an almostly equivalent ability to quantitatively describe the steady shear flow behavior of vaseline, whereas the Bingham, Casson,and Vocadlo models do not give a good ability.

  • 유량자료는 연속적으로 관측하기가 쉽지 않을 뿐 아니라 모든 관측소에서 매년 적정한 유량자료를 생산하는 것 또한 매우 어려운 실정이다. 이에 따라 미계측 유역에 대한 유량 산정을 위해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 영국의 "Low Flow Studies report(Institute of Hydrology, 1980)"에서는 갈수량 산정과 관련하여 기저유량비(Base Flow Index, BFI)를 사용하는 것을 추천하였다. 국내에서는 이와 관련한 적용 사례가 없기 때문에 본 연구에서는 BFI를 적용하여 미계측 유역의 갈수량을 산정하고자 하였다. 대상유역은 낙동강 권역의 22개 지점을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 기저유량비 및 평균 갈수량과 유역 및 수문인자들의 상관분석을 수행하였다. 분석을 통하여 기저유량비는 토양군 C와 지하수위를 독립변수로, 평균 갈수량은 기저유량비, 유역면적, 강수량을 독립변수로 선정하여 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 개발한 기저유량비 지역회귀모형의 상대오차는 -26.5%(기계2)~57.2%(구영)의 범위로 분포하였고, 절대오차의 평균은 17.2%로 산정되었다. 평균 갈수량 지역회귀모형은 상대오차가 -38.4%(도천)~184.4%(길안)의 범위에서 분포하고 있으며, 절대오차의 평균은 47.3%이다. 그러나 소토, 기계2, 길안 지점을 제외하면 절대오차는 30.6%이다. 상대오차는 다소 부정적이지만 기존에 개발된 지역회귀모형으로 평균 갈수량을 산정한 결과와 비교하면 상대적으로 양호한 것으로 판단된다. 사용한 자료의 기간이 6년으로 통계적인 결과로 보기에는 다소 미흡한 측면이 있지만, 유역인자로서 BFI가 미계측 유역의 갈수량 특성을 설명할 수 있는 우수한 인자라고 판단하였다.

  • In this study, a numerical study was conducted to evaluate the performance improvement when CuO nanofluid was used in the plate heat exchanger. As a result, the heat transfer amount is increased by 5.45% when 2 vol% CuO nanofluid is used. The influence on the CuO nanofluid on the performance of heat exchanger is decreased by increasing the flow rate of working fluid. In addition, the overall heat transfer coefficient using 2 vol% CuO nanofluid decreased compared to the base fluid. However, the pressure drop and the consumption of the pump power is increased as the concentration of CuO nanofluid increased because the increase of the viscosity. These are increased up to 15.4% compared to those of the base fluid. Moreover, the performance index of CuO nanofluid is decreased by 12.6% compared to that of the base fluid.

  • The resolution issue of various soil moisture prediction parameters such as wetness index and curvatures is addressed. The sensitivities of various index are discussed on the base of the statistical aspects. The statistical analysis of three flow determination algorithms on the DEM is performed. The upslope area associated with SFD algorithm appear to more sensitive than the parameters of the other algorithms(MFD, DEMON). The wetness index shows relatively less variation both in resolution and the calculation Procedures.

  • 기저유출 분리 기법은 하천에서 관찰되는 총 유출을 직접유출과 기저유출로 분리하는 기술이다. 기저유출 분리 기법은 도식적(graphical) 방법, 디지털 필터(digital filter) 방법, 통계학적 방법, 해석적 방법 등 다양하다(Valent와 Bulík, 2016). 금회 연구에서는 이 가운데 도식적 방법을 이용한 기저유출 분리 방법에 대한 적용성을 평가하였다. 금회 연구에서 수행된 도식적 기저유출 분리 방법은 HYSEP 프로그램에 포함되어 있는 local minimum method(LMM), fixed interval method(FIM), sliding interval method(SIM)이고(Sloto and Crouse, 1996), 각각의 방법은 대리 수위관측소의 관측 일 유량(2013년~2017년)에 적용되었다. 분석에 사용된 세 가지 방법은 동일하게 유역면적의 함수인 기저유출 분리에 사용되는 간격(2N∗)만으로 기저유출을 분리하므로 객관적인 적용이 가능하다. 각각의 분석 방법에 의한 기저유출 분리의 적절성 평가를 위해 2017년의 유황곡선을 이용하여 검토하였다. 구체적으로 유황 곡선의 지표 유량인 풍수량, 평수량, 저수량을 기준으로 각각의 지표 유량 이하에 대한 관측 유량과 추정된 기저유량의 결정계수를 산정하였다(Table 1). 이는 유량의 규모가 작을수록 지표유출 보다는 기저유출의 영향이 커짐을 고려한 것이다. 분석 결과, SIM이 모든 지표 유량 기준에서 가장 좋은 결과를 보였다. 또한, 기저유출 지표(base flow index; BFI)에서도 SIM과 FIM은 약 0.46으로 유사한 반면, LMM은 0.23으로 분석되어 두 방법과 큰 차이를 보였다.

  • SP test has been confirmed the availability, however the application of SP test is hampered because the relation of stress-strain and load-displacement is not determined definitely. This study suggested an evaluation technique of plastic flow characteristic for X20CrMoV121 steel weldment through inverse analysis using SP test and finite element analysis(FEA). From the result, good agreement was found in load-displacement curves obtained from SP test and FEA. Also, The behavior of load-displacement curve from FEA show a rule that load is increase with increasing K(strength coefficient) and displacement is increase with increasing n(work hardening index). From the inverse analysis, true stress-strain curve could be obtained for each local structure of weldment. And the CGHAZ and WM, which showed lower load- displacement behavior, have smaller work hardening index, while FGHAZ have the largest index.
