Pressure oscillation caused by the compressibility of entrapped air in dam break flow is analyzed using an open source code, which is a two-phase compressible code for non-isothermal immiscible fluids. Since compressible flows are computed based on a pressure-based method, the code can handle the equation of state of barotropic fluid, which is virtually incompressible. The computed time variation of pressure is compared with other experimental and computational results. The present result shows good agreements with other results until the air is entrapped. As the entrapped air bubbles pulsate, pressure oscillations are predicted and the pressure oscillations damp out quickly. Although the compressibility parameter of water has been varied for a wide range, it has no effects on the computed results, because the present equation of state for water is so close to that of incompressible fluid. Grid independency test for computed time variation of pressure shows that all results predict similar period of pressure oscillation and quick damping out of the oscillation, even though the amplitude of pressure oscillation is sensitive to the velocity field at the moment of the entrapping. It is observed that as pressure inside the entrapped air changes quickly, the pressure field in the neighboring water adjusts instantly, because the sound of speed is much higher in water. It is confirmed that the period of pressure oscillation is dominated by the added mass of neighboring water. It is found that the temperature oscillation of the entrapped air is critical to the quick damping out of the oscillations, due to the fact that the time averaged temperature inside the entrapped air is higher than that of surrounding water, which is almost constant.

A developed code based on the unified conservation laws of incompressible/compressible fluids is applied to analyze similarity in pressure oscillations caused by pulsating air pockets in sloshing tanks. It is shown that the nondimensional time histories of pressure show good agreements under Froude and geometric similarities, provided that there are no pulsating entrapped air pockets. However, the nondimesional period of pressure oscillation due to the pulsating air pocket becomes longer as the size of the sloshing tank increases. The discrepancy in the nondimensional period is attributed to the compressibility bias of the entrapped air. To get rid of the compressibility bias, the ullage pressure in a sloshing tank is adjusted based on the Bagnold's impact number. The variation in the period of pressure oscillation according to the ullage pressure is explained based on the spring-mass system. It is shown that the nondimensional period of pressure oscillation is virtually constant when the ullage pressure is adjusted based on the Bagnold's impact number, regardless of tank size. It is found that the Bagold's impact number should be the same, if the time history of pressure is important while an entrapped air pocket pulsates.

콘크리트의 공극구조를 평가하기 위한 대표적인 모델 중 하나가 Power가 제안한 간격계수(SF : spacing factor)인데, 이 PSF(power spacing factor)는 평균단일공극 개념을 사용하여 갇힌 공극의 존재 여부에 따라 그 결과값이 실제와 상이하게 나올 수 있는 단점이 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 실측된 공극 간격 데이터를 이용하여 지수화한 AMSF(실측간격계수 : actual measurement spacing factor)를 개발하였으며, 콘크리트 혼합물의 화상 분석 결과를 이용하여 PSF와 AMSF를 비교 평가하였다. 이 연구 결과, PSF와 AMSF는 전반적으로 유사한 경향을 나타내고 있으나, PSF가 $400{\mu}m$ 이상일 때 전반적으로 AMSF가 좀 더 큰 값을 나타내고 있어, 공기량이 작은 콘크리트 혼합물의 경우 PSF는 실제보다 좀 더 작은 값으로 예측할 가능성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 갇힌 공극의 유무에 따른 PSF와 AMSF 각각을 분석한 결과, AMSF는 갇힌 공극을 포함하지 않고 분석한 값이 더 크게 나타났고, PSF는 실제와 다르게 갇힌 공극을 포함하지 않고 분석한 값이 더 작게 나타났다. 이와 같이 PSF가 이와 같은 경향을 나타내는 이유는 평균단일공극 개념을 사용하기 때문이며, 이 분석 결과를 통해 AMSF가 좀 더 실제에 가까운 분석기법임을 확인할 수 있었다.

A cell-entrapment technique using compressed air was applied to Bifidobacterium longum KCTC 3128 for the improvement of bifidobacteria viability. The main cell-entrapment matrix used was alginate, and viability improvement of the B. longum entrapped in alginate lattices was monitored along with the effects of other additional biopolymers. A prerequisite for acquiring consistent results was the uniformity of bead size and cell distribution which was achieved by using compressed air and mixing the cell suspension with sterilized alginate powder, respectively. The viability losses of the B. longum entrapped in alginate beads in the presence of three different substances logarithmically increased in relation to the reaction time, and proportionately decreased with an increased alginate concentration and bead diameter. The strongest improvement in B. longum viability was exhibited with a bead containing 3％ alginate and 0.15％ xanthan gum.

Recent economic development caused a vast use of mineral resources in Korea. Consequently, a supply of poor quality course aggregate (poor particle shape as well as poor gradation) in construction material become a social problem. In this study, an effect of aggregate particle shape on property of concrete was evaluated. The flat and elongation ratio of crushed aggregate was controled to 8, 15, 25, 35, and $47\%$ in order to evaluate fresh concrete behavior as well as physical properties in hardened concrete. Test result shows a poor aggregate particle shape cause a significant increase in entrapped air in fresh concrete, while no significant effect on hardened concrete property, such as strength as well as stiffness. This increase in entrapped air, however, believed to cause a significant decrease in concrete durability.

연약지반 개량공법으로 국내에서 생산된 플라스틱 보드 드레인(PBD)이 많이 사용되고 있으나 이들에 대한 물리적 성질 및 배수성능의 검증이 미약한 실정이다. 또한 PBD의 웰 레지스턴스(well resistance)에 크게 영향을 미치는 공기(기포)의 영향에 대한 인식이 부족하다고 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대형 실험장치를 이용하여 먼저 국산 PBD를 중심으로 물리적 성질 및 배수성능 시험을 실시하여 제품의 질적 수준을 규명하고 대표적인 국외제품과 비교했다. 아울러 PBD재의 꺾임 부분에 누적된 공기(기포)가 통수능력에 지장을 초래하는 것을 재확인하였으며 현장에서 적용할 수 있는 진공펌프를 이용하여 필기(기포)를 제거시키므로써 통수능력의 회복이 가능하다는 것을 나타냈다.

We report a case of an entrapped lung after the pectus bar repair of a pectus deformity. The entrapped lung was found incidentally during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for pneumothorax. Based on VATS exploration, multiple bullae seemed to be the cause of the pneumothorax, but the entrapped lung was suspected to have been a cause of the air leakage.

The present work pertains to a research program to study Molten Fuel-Coolant Interactions (MFCI), which may occur in a nuclear power plant during a hypothetical severe accident. Dynamics of the hot liquid (melt) droplet and the volatile liquid (coolant) were investigated in the MISTEE (Micro-Interactions in Steam Explosion Experiments) facility by performing well-controlled, externally triggered, single-droplet experiments, using a high-speed visualization system with synchronized digital cinematography and continuous X-ray radiography. The current study is concerned with the MISTEE-NCG test campaign, in which a considerable amount of non-condensable gases (NCG) are present in the film that enfolds the molten droplet. The SHARP images for the MISTEE-NCG tests were analyzed and special attention was given to the morphology (aspect ratio) and dynamics of the air/ vapor bubble, as well as the melt drop preconditioning. Energetics of the vapor explosion (conversion ratio) were also evaluated. The MISTEE-NCG tests showed two main aspects when compared to the MISTEE test series (without entrapped air). First, analysis showed that the melt preconditioning still strongly depends on the coolant subcooling. Second, in respect to the energetics, the tests consistently showed a reduced conversion ratio compared to that of the MISTEE test series.

PURPOSES : In this study, an image analysis method is used to evaluate the pore structure characteristics and permeability of hybrid concrete. METHODS : The binder weight of hybrid concrete is set to $400kg/m^3$, $370kg/m^3$, and $350kg/m^3$, and for each value of binder weight, the pore structure and permeability of concrete mixture is evaluated. The permeability of hybrid concrete is evaluated using a rapid chloride penetration test(RCPT). RESULTS : The concrete pore structure characteristics of hybrid concrete reveals that as the binder weight is reduced, the entrained air is reduced and the entrapped air is increased. The permeability of the hybrid concrete for all values was measured to be below 1000 C, which indicates a "Very Low" level of permeability relative to the evaluation standard of KS F 2711. Additionally, as the binder weight is decreased, there is a significant increase in the permeability of chloride ions. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, the pore structure characteristics of hybrid concrete at different binder weights shows that as the binder weight is reduced, the entrained air is reduced and the entrapped air is increased. Consequently, chloride ion penetration resistance of the hybrid concrete is diminished. As a result, it is expected that this will reduce the concrete's durability.

A study on the citric acid production using Saccharomycopsis lipolytica (NRRL Y7576) was carried out in shake-flasks, air-lift and membrane recycle bioreactors. The cells entrapped in Ca-alginate beads were used in shake-flasks and air-lift reactor. Repeated batch fermentation in shake-flasks was successfully performed for 34 days and resulted in a yield of 54%. Increased yield (63%) was obtained in the air-lift reactor operation using nitrogen deficient medium (NDM). In the membrane recycle bioreactor operation, the maximal dry cell mass concentration was 39 g/1 at a dilution rate of 0.02 h$^{-1}$ and the yield with NDM was higher than that with growth medium. In addition, the yield and volumetric productivity with pure oxygen supply were greatly improved compared with those with air supply.
