An analysis method is proposed for the transient linear or nonlinear analysis of dynamic interactions between a flexible dam body and reservoir impounding compressible water under earthquake loadings. The coupled dam-reservoir system consists of three substructures: (1) a dam body with linear or nonlinear behavior; (2) a semi-infinite fluid region with constant depth; and (3) an irregular fluid region between the dam body and far field. The dam body is modeled with linear and/or nonlinear finite elements. The far field is formulated as a displacement-based transmitting boundary in the frequency domain that can radiate energy into infinity. Then the transmitting boundary is transformed for the direct coupling in the time domain. The near field region is modeled as a compressible fluid contained between two substructures. The developed method is verified and applied to various earthquake response analyses of dam-reservoir systems. Also, the method is applied to a nonlinear analysis of a concrete gravity dam. The results show the location and severity of damage demonstrating the applicability to the seismic evaluation of existing and new dams.

Collision analysis problems between ship to ship can be generally classified into the external mechanics(outer dynamics) and internal mechanics(inner dynamics). The former can be also dealt with the concept of fluid-structure interaction and the use of rigid body dynamic program, depending on the ways handling the hydrodynamic pressure due to surrounding water. In this study, full scale ship collision simulation was carried out, such as a DWT 75,000 ton striking ship collided at right angle to the middle of a DWT 150,000 struck ship with 10 knots velocity, coupling MCOL, a rigid body mechanics program for modeling the dynamics of ships, to hydrocode LS-DYNA. It could be confirmed that more suitable damage estimation would be performed in the case of the collision simulations with consideration of surrounding water through the comparison with the collision simulation results of fixed struck ships without it. Through this study, the opportunity could be obtained to establish a more effective ship collision simulation technique between ship to ship.

The chine of high speed vessels does not only play a role in changing position when planing but also helps balancing the hull. It also has a great influence on resistance performance. However, designing a chine requires a lot of experience because it is influenced by various factors such as displacement, transom shape, draft and width. Such a design is not based on an empirical formula, but the purpose of this study is to provide basic guidelines regarding the shape of chine through calculation. This design was developed using Yacht-one, a commercial design program, and analysis was performed using Star-CCM+, also a commercial analysis program. Analysis of the hull selected in this study was carried out by Dynamic Fluid Body Interaction (DFBI) method. Analysis of the chine was carried out at chine angles of 15, 16, 17, and 19degrees, at a speed of 30knots. The result indicated that the highest trim occurred at 16 degrees among the four chine angles considered, and the highest heave occurred at 15degree. In terms of resistance performance, minimum resistance was observed at 16 degrees. Consequently, for minimum ship resistance, it is necessary to complete calculations in accordance with the chine angles, ${\pm}2$ degrees from the initial chine angle, which should be carried out a the design stage.

This study is aiming to find one of reasonable guidelines to select a proper berthing ship at Kwang Yang harbors for loading/unloading for the POSCO(Pohang Steel Co. Ltd.). For dynamic analysis for the moored ships, the selection of subjected vessels has to be given the priority, so that the motion characteristics are figured out. The calculation of the dynamic fluid forces and wave, wind and current forces in time domain are followed. Then, the dynamic mooring analyses are performed. This study might contribute to make a new guideline by which the proper sized and loaded ships could be moored safety at the berths of Kwang Yang Harbor.

The pressure sensitive paint (PSP) has recently received a considerable attention in the fields of aerodynamics and fluid mechanics as a new revolutionary optical technique to measure pressure fields on a body surface. In this study, the feasibility and effectiveness of the PSP pressure field measurement technique have been investigated experimentally. Seven different PSP formulations including two porphyrins(PtOEP and PtTFPP) and four polymers(Polystyrene, cellulous acetate butyrate, GP-197 and Silicon-708) were tested to check the performance and characteristics of each combination. The static calibration of each PSP formulation was carried out in a constant-pressure chamber. The PSP technique was applied to an oblique impinging jet flow to measure variation of pressure field on the impinging plate at on oblique jet angle of ${\theta}=60^{\circ}$. Pressure field images were captured by an 12bit intensified CCD(ICCD, $1K{\times}1K$)camera. As a result, the dynamic response of PSP depends on the oxygen permeability of polymer and the photochemical interaction between luminophore and polymer as well as the reaction of luminophore itself. The reaction of luminophore was changed by employing different polymers. In conclusion, Among 7 PSP formulation tested, the combination of PtTFPP and cellulous acetate butyrate show the best performance. In addition, the detail pressure field of an oblique high-speed impinging jet was measured effectively using the PSP technique.
