This paper discusses of the problem of direction and orientation of site design of a traditional Korean village. The research focus on how the directional orientation of each houses adapt the direction of the flow of surrounding mountains. The direction of mountains worked as a prime rule which most of the houses( 76.6%) observed the same direction as their own orientation. While the central part of the village followed the direction of mountains more strictly, however the houses on the periphery area tend to be more free from the direction of mountains. This houses of the periphery respect either the direction of the mountain flow right behind the house or faces toward the south.

DOCR can be used to efficiently increase the reliability and to protect the bi-directional D/L(Distribution Lines). As more DG(Distributed Generation)s attempt to connect the bi-directional D/L, there is an increasing need for studies of how to use DOCR installed in the D/L. This paper investigates the operating principles of DOCR and presents the results an effect of sequence and fault impedance in L-L(Line to Line) fault. An advanced DOCR operating algorithm is proposed to reduce the mal-operation of conventional DOCR. The proposed algorithm is applied to the bi-directional power flow system and shows that it decreases the mal-operation of DOCR through the computer simulation.

The power output of the stirling engine is influenced by the regenerator effectiveness. The regenerator effectiveness is influenced by heat transfer and flow friction loss of the regenerator matrix. In this paper, in order to provide basic data for the design of the regenerator matrix, characteristics of working fluid velocities were investigated by a packed method of matrix in the oscillating flow as the same condition of operation in a Stirling engine. As matrices, two different wire screens were used. The results are summarized as follows; 1. When a regenerator is not filled with any wire screen, working fluid velocity of the oscillating flow shows 1.3 times faster than that of one directional flow. 2. When a regenerator is filled with the wire screen of No.50, working fluid velocity of the oscillating flow reveals 2.5 times faster than that of one directional flow. 3. When a regenerator is filled with the wire screen of No. 100, working fluid velocity of the oscillating flow shows 2 times faster than that of one directional flow, regardless of the number of packed wire screens. 4. Working fluid velocity is decreased wire the increase in number of meshes and packed wire screens.

Average Bi-directional flow tube was suggested to measure single and two phase flow rate. Its working principle is similar with Pilot tube, however, it makes it possible to eliminate the cooling system which is normally needed to prevent from flashing in the pressure impulse line of Pilot tube when it is used in the depressurization condition. The suggested instrumentation was tested in the air-water vertical test section which has 80mm inner diameter and 10m length. The flow tube was installed at 120 of L/D from inlet of test section. From the test, single air and water flow rate was measured successfully. For the emasurement of two phase flow rate, Chexal drift-flux correlation was used. In the test a new correlation of momentum exchange factor was suggested. The test result shows that the suggested instrumentation using the measured void fraction and Chexal drift-flux correlation can predict the mass flow rates within $10\%$ error of measured data.

This paper proposes a new type of high-frequency directional valve controlled by the piezostack actuator associated with displacement amplifier. As a first step, a dynamic model of directional valve which can operate at 200 Hz with a flow rate of 12 l/min is derived by considering pressure drop and flow force. As a second step, an appropriate piezostack is selected by considering actuation force as well as field-dependent displacement. Subsequently, in order to control spool displacement and flow rate a proportional-derivative (PD) controller is designed based on the $3^{rd}$-order valve system. Control performances such as sinusoidal trajectory tracking of the spool displacement in time domain are evaluated. In addition, the field-dependent flow rate is also presented to verify the required performance of the valve system.

Hydraulic directional control valves actuated by solenoid are used to control emergency steering in general or hybrid electric commercial vehicles. In this study, a new lightweight hydraulic directional control valve was designed by flow and structural simulation, and was fabricated; the basic operation, pressure differentials, and inner leakage flow were evaluated experimentally. In the results, the new model showed comparable performance with an existing imported valve. New valve was 80% the weight of the existing valve and had few components. Installing this valve on a truck body is easier because of its compactness and small size.

Until now, study on the hydraulic resistance characteristics of the ground at the river and the ocean current has been focused on the behavior under uni-directional flow without the direction change of flow. However, recent research result shows that scour rate which were measured under the bi-directional flow was much higher than those measured under uni-directional flow for both fine grained and coarse soil. Since the direction of inflow and return flow at the shore, where the structure will be constructed, is not always $180^{\circ}$, effect of the incidence angle on the hydraulic resistance capacity of the ground should be examined. Using the improved EFA which can consider the direction change of flow, hydraulic resistance capacities of the artificially composed clayey fine grained soil and clayey sandy soil under $0^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$ flow angle of incidence were assessed. Test result shows that hydraulic resistance capacity decreases and scour rate increase with the increase of the incidence angle between inflow and return flow. For the low consolidation pressure condition, hydraulic resistance capacity of the fine grained soil decreases rapidly. While the hydraulic resistance capacity of the coarse grained soil decreases more rapidly than fine grained soil under high consolidation pressure. Eventually since the larger the incidence angle between inflow and return flow, the larger the scour rate. Hydraulic resistance capacity under bi-directional flow($0^{\circ}{\longleftrightarrow}180^{\circ}$) should be examined for the design purpose.

In this paper an accurate and stable gridless method that can be applied to multi-dimensional convection problems is developed on a flow directional local grid. A two dimensional pure convection problem is calculated and more accurate and stable solution is obtained compared with other schemes in grid method. The tested numerical schemes include 1st-order upwind scheme, 2nd-order Leith scheme, 3rd-order MUSCL, and QUICK scheme. It is seen that more accurate results are expected when the schemes combined with a MMT control limiter.

This paper presents a similarity solution for the directional casting of binary peritectic alloys in the presence of shrinkage-induced flow. The present model retains essential ingredients of alloy solidification, such as temperature-solute coupling, macrosegregation, solid-liquid property differences, and finite back diffusion in the primary phase. An algorithm for simultaneously determining the peritectic and liquidus positions is newly developed, which proves to be more efficient and stable than the existing scheme. Sample calculations are performed for both hypo- and hyper-peritectic compositions. The results show that the present analysis is capable of properly resolving the solidification characteristics of peritectic alloys so that it can be used for validating numerical models as a test solution.
