Thermalhydraulic reactor simulation of tomorrow will require a new generation of codes combining at least three scales, the CFD scale in open medium, the component scale and the system scale. DNS will be used as a support for modelling more macroscopic models. NEPTUNE is such a new generation multi-scale platform developed jointly by CEA-DEN and EDF-R&D and also supported by IRSN and FRAMATOME-ANP. The major steps towards the next generation lie in new physical models and improved numerical methods. This paper presents the advances obtained so far in physical modelling for each scale. Macroscopic models of system and component scales include multi-field modelling, transport of interfacial area, and turbulence modelling. Two-phase CFD or CMFD was first applied to boiling bubbly flow for departure from nucleate boiling investigations and to stratified flow for pressurised thermal shock investigations. The main challenges of the project are presented, some selected results are shown for each scale, and the perspectives for future are also drawn. Direct Numerical Simulation tools with Interface Tracking Techniques are also developed for even smaller scale investigations leading to a better understanding of basic physical processes and allowing the development of closure relations for macroscopic and CFD models.

According to the classification of dental arch form and the analysis of patterns of chewing movement, the patterns of chewing movement in each group were evaluated and compared with those of the normal group. Results were summarized as follows ; 1. Opening phase in chewing movement In the group which the maxillary second molar positionsbuccal side, the chewing patterns which have the Vertical Guide Openings in frontal plane, the Posterior Guide Openings in hjorizontal plane were observed. In the group which the maxillary premolars position lingual side, the chewing paterns which have the Protrusive Shift Openings in horizontal plane and sagittal plane were observed. 2. Closing phase in chewing movement. In each group except for the normal group, the chewing patterns which have the Concave Closure in frontal plane and in Horizontal plane were observed. In the group which the maxillary premolars position buccal side, the chewing patterns which have the Lateral Guide Closure in frontal plane and in horizontal plane, the Vertical Guide Closre in sagittal plane were observed: From the results, as the characteristics of the dental arch form have appeared in chewing movement, the close relationships were found between dental arch form and chewing movement. It is suggested that the evaluation of dental arch form is effective in the diagnosis of function of stomatognathic system.

A numerical analysis has been conducted to study the transient flowfield during the transition from the booster to sustainer phase in an integrated rocket ramjet (IRR) propulsion system. Emphasis is placed on the unsteady inlet aerodynamics, fuel/air mixing in an entire ramjet engine during the flow transient phase. The computational geometry consists of the entire IRR engine, including the inlet, the combustion chamber, and the exhaust nozzle. Turbulence closure is achieved using a low-Reynolds-number two-equation model. The governing equations are solved numerically by means of a finite-volume, preconditioned flux-differencing scheme over a wide range of Mach umber. Various important physical processes are investigated systemically, including terminal shock train.

In order for studying pressure-coupled dynamic responses of droplet vaporization, open-loop experiment of an isolated droplet vaporization exposed to pressure perturbations in stagnant gaseous environment is numerically conducted, Governing equations are solved for flow parameters at gas and liquid phases separately and thermodynamic parameters at the interfacial boundary are matched for problem closure. For high-pressure effects, vapor-liquid interfacial thermodynamics is rigorously treated. A series of parametric calculations in terms of mean pressure level and wave frequencies are carried out employing a n-pentane droplet in stagnant gaseous nitrogen. Results show that wave instability in view of pressure-coupled vaporization response seems more susceptible at higher pressures and higher wave frequencies. Mass evaporation rate responding to pressure waves is amplified with increase in pressure due to substantial reduction in latent heat of vaporization. Augmentation of perturbation frequency also enhances amplification due to the reduction of phase differences between pressure perturbation and surface temperature fluctuation.

The bubbly flow of air or steam in subcooled water are investigated here in several test cases, characterized by different pipe sizes, bubble dimensions and flow rates, by means of CFD using a Eulerian-Eulerian approach. The performance of models that differ for the turbulence closure in the continuous phase, as well as for the description of the lift force on the dispersed phase, are compared in detail. When air is considered, the space of the experimental parameters leading to a reasonable performance for the selected models are identified and discussed, while the issues left in the modelling of the concurrent condensation are highlighted for the cases where steam is used.

수평 유로를 통과하는 이상류 내에서 기체상의 난류 응력이 이상류 시스템의 전반적 거동 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 이미 오랜 연구 노력으로 입증된 평균 이상류 거동 방정식을 채택하여 수평관에서 흔히 발생하는 성층류형 이상류에 대하여 적절히 모델하였다. 모델의 고유치를 계산하고 그의 특성 방정식으로부터 이상류 시스템의 well-posedness 및 다른 이상 유동 영역으로의 천이 경계를 새로이 결정하였다. 그 결과로 지금까지 무시해 왔던 기체상의 난류웅력이 이상류 시스템의 안정성에 커다란 영향을 주는 것이 발견되었다. 본 연구에서는 그 영향이 정량화 되었으며 그외의 효과도 정량화 하는 방법을 정립하였다. 본 연구는 원자로 시스템 해석 코드에 쓰이고 있는 열수력 모델 중 불확실성이 많은 모델인 수평관에서의 이상유동 영역 천이 조건식을 개선함으써 시스템 해석 결과의 신뢰도를 높이는 데 이용할 수 있다.

항 외곽시설 신뢰성 설계가 합리적으로 구현하기 위해서는 우리나라 해양환경 특성이 반영된 확률모형이 필요하며 이러한 시각에서 본 연구에서는 천 해역 확률모형 개발을 위한 기초연구의 일부로 불규칙 파랑 천수 과정을 수치 모의하였다. 수치 모의는 자연해안에서 흔히 관측되는 사주가 원빈에 형성된 해안을 대상으로 수행하였으며 파랑모형은 spatially filtered Navier-Stokes Eq., LES[Large Eddy Simulation], one equation dynamic Smagorinsky turbulence closure 등으로 구성하였다. 불규칙 파랑은 우리나라 동해안에서 관측되는 너울 특성을 반영하기 위해 다양한 첨두 증강계수를 지니는 JONSWAP 스펙트럼과 random phase method를 사용하여 모의하였다. 파고분포의 모수는 먼저 수치 모의에서 관측된 자유수면 시계열 자료를 threshold crossing method로 파별 해석[wave by wave analysis]하여 개별 파랑을 특정하고, 이어 이렇게 특정된 파마루와 파곡 빈도 해석결과로부터 산출하였다. 모의결과 현재 천 해역 파고분포를 대표하는 수정 Glukhovskiy 파고분포는 큰 파고와 작은 파고 발생확률은 과다하게, 중간 크기 파고 발생확률은 과소하게 평가하는 것으로 모의 되었으며, 이에 반해 본 논문에서 제시된 파고분포의 경우 일치도가 상당하였다. 또한, 전술한 수정 Glukhovskiy 파고분포와의 간극은 쇄파역에서 제일 현저하게 관측되어 수정 Glukhovskiy 파고분포를 쇄파역 언저리에 거치되는 외곽시설 신뢰성 설계에 적용하는 일은 지양되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

an isolated droplet combustion exposed to pressure perturbations in stagnant gaseous environment is numerically conducted. Governing equations are solved for flow parameters at gas and liquid phases separately and thermodynamic parameters at the interfacial boundary are matched for problem closure. For high-pressure effects, vapor-liquid interfacial thermodynamics is rigorously treated. A series of parametric calculations in terms of mean pressure level and wave frequencies are carried out employing a n-pentane droplet in stagnant gaseous air. Results show that the operating pressure and driving frequency have an important role in determining the amplitude and phase lag of a combustion response. Mass evaporation rate responding to pressure waves is amplified with increase in pressure due to substantial reduction in latent heat of vaporization. Phase difference between pressure and evaporation rate decreases due to the reduced thermal inertia at high pressure. In addition to this, augmentation of perturbation frequency also enhances amplification of vaporization rate because the time period for the pressure oscillation is much smaller than the liquid thermal inertia time. The phase of evaporation rate shifts backward due to the elevated thermal inertia at high acoustic frequency.

피로균열 진전시 균열 열림 및 닫힘에 따른 음향방출 특성을 규명하고자 구조용 알루미늄 2024-T4 와 6061-T6 재료에 대해 소형인장 시편에서의 피로균열 진전시 발생되는 AE 특성을 관찰하였으며, 기존의 AE파라미터 분석은 물론 재료의 파단면 분석을 통해 재료특성에 따른 AE 발생거동 사이의 관계를 논의하였다. 대부분의 음향방출 신호는 균열이 열리기 시작하는 위상과 균열이 완전히 닫히는 위상에서 많이 발생되었으며 하중을 최대로 받는 균열 완전 열림에서는 전반적으로 적게 발생됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 재료에 따라서 균열 완전 열렴 부분에서 발생하는 음향방출 특성은 달라졌으나 각 피로 사이클 주파수 변화 (0.1, 0.2, 1.0Hz)에 따른 결과에서는 통일 재료일 경우 피로 사이클 주파수가 변화하더라도 각 사이클에서의 AE hit 발생 경향용 비슷하게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 균열 열림 및 닫힘시 재료 의 미세조직과 기계적 특성인 연장강도와 항복강도에 따라 AE 특성이 달라질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This work deals with unilateral effect of quasi-brittle materials, such as concrete. For this propose, a two-dimensional meso-scale model is presented. The material is considered as a three-phase material consisting of interface zone, matrix and inclusions - each constituent modeled by an appropriate constitutive model. The Representative Volume Element (RVE) consists of inclusions idealized as circular shapes randomly placed into the specimen. The interface zone is modeled by means of cohesive contact finite elements developed here in order to capture the effects of phase debonding and interface crack closure/opening. As an initial approximation, the inclusion is modeled as linear elastic as well as the matrix. Our main goal here is to show a computational homogenization-based approach as an alternative to complex macroscopic constitutive models for the mechanical behavior of the quasi-brittle materials using a finite element procedure within a purely kinematical multi-scale framework. A set of numerical examples, involving the microcracking processes, is provided. It illustrates the performance of the proposed model. In summary, the proposed homogenization-based model is found to be a suitable tool for the identification of macroscopic mechanical behavior of quasi-brittle materials dealing with unilateral effect.
