We study the properties of supernova (SN) driven interstellar turbulence with a numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. Calculations were done using the RIEMANN framework for MHD, which is highly suited for astrophysical flows because it tracks shocks using a Riemann solver and ensures pressure positivity and a divergence-free magnetic field. We start our simulations with a uniform density threaded by a uniform magnetic field. A simplified radiative cooling curve and a constant heating rate are also included. In this radiatively-cooling magnetized medium, we explode SNe one at a time at randomly chosen positions with SN explosion rates equal to and 12 times higher than the Galactic value. The evolution of the system is basically determined by the input energy of SN explosions and the output energy of radiative cooling. We follow the simulations to the point where the total energy of the system, as well as thermal, kinetic, and magnetic energy individually, has reached a quasi-stationary value. From the numerical experiments, we find that: i) both thermal and dynamical processes are important in determining the phases of the interstellar medium, and ii) the power index n of the $B-p^n$ relation is consistent with observed values.

A unified hydrocode, ExLO, in which Largrangian, ALE and Eulerian solvers are incorporated into a single framework, has recently been developed in Korea. It is based on the three dimensional explicit finite element method and written in C++. ExLO is mainly designed for the calculation of structural responses to highly transient loading conditions, such as high-speed impacts, high-speed machining, high speed forming and explosions. In this paper the numerical schemes are described. Some improvements of the material interface and advection scheme are included. Details and issues of the momentum advection scheme are provided. In this paper the modeling capability of ExLO has been described for two extreme loading events; high-speed impacts and explosions. Numerical predictions are in good agreement with the existing experimental data. Specific applications of the code are discussed in a separate paper in this journal. Eventually ExLO will be providing an optimum simulation environment to engineering problems including the fluid-structure interaction problems, since it allows regions of a problem to be modeled with Lagrangian, ALE or Eulerian schemes in a single framework.

The present paper reports spontaneous steam explosions observed in fuel coolant interaction experiments using prototypic reactor materials. Pure ZrO$_2$ and a mixture of UO$_2$ and ZrO$_2$ are used. A high temperature molten material in the form of a jet is poured into a subcooled water pool located in a pressure vessel. An induction skull melting technique is used for the melting of the reactor material. In both tests using pure ZrO$_2$ and a mixture of UO$_2$ and ZrO$_2$, either a quenching or a spontaneous steam explosion was observed. The morphology of debris and pressure profile clearly indicate the differences between the qunching cases and explosion cases. The dynamic pressure. dynamic impulse, water temperature, melt temperature, and static pressure Inside the containment chamber were measured . As the spontaneous steam explosion for the reactor material is firstly observed in the present experiments, the results of present experiments could be a siginificant step forward the understanding the explosion of the reactor material.

In order to reasonably predict damage extents of naval ships under in-compartment explosion (INCEX) loads, two conditions should be fulfilled in terms of accurate INCEX load generation and fracture estimation. This paper seeks to predict damage extents of various naval ships by applying the CONWEP model to generate INCEX loads, combined with the Hosford-Coulomb (HC) and localized necking (LN) fracture model. This study selected a naval ship with a 2,000-ton displacement, using associated specifications collected from references. The CONWEP model that is embedded in a commercial finite element analysis software ABAQUS/Explicit was used for INCEX load generation. The combined HC-LN model was used to simulate fracture initiation and propagation. The permanent failures with some structural fractures occurred where at the locations closest to the explosion source points in case of the near field explosions, while, some significant fractures were observed in way of the interfaces between bulkheads and curtain plates under far field explosion. A large thickness difference would lead to those interface failures. It is expected that the findings of this study enhances the vulnerability design of naval ships, enabling more accurate predictions of damage extents under INCEX loads.

자동차 연료로 가스를 사용하는 것은 '삶의 질' 향상을 넘어 '생존'의 문제로 환경보존과 경제발전을 조화롭게 추구하는 '지속가능한 발전'이란 새로운 패러다임에 부흥하고 있다. 하지만 가스사용이 늘어나면서 폭발과 화재에 의한 인명피해가 해마다 발생하고 있으며, 대규모 저장시설에서의 가스 사고는 사회적으로 심각한 문제를 야기하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지하 격납 저장탱크에서의 폭발발생을 최소화하기 위하여 한정된 내용적과 화염에 노출되는 표면적을 최소로 하는 폭발방지를 고려한 최적의 저장탱크를 설계하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 최적조건의 저장탱크를 설계한 결과, 20ton 저장탱크는 직경 3m, 길이 4.83m일 때 지하 격납 공간이 최소가 되었으며, 화염에 노출되는 표면적은 기존의 저장탱크에 비하여 89.4%로 줄어들어 안전성이 향상되었다.

폴리머 수용액의 증기폭발 억제 효과에 대한 물리적 현상을 이해하기 위해 폴리에틸렌옥사이드 수용액에서의 풀비등 특성을 실험적으로 관찰하였다. 본 실험에서는 22.2mm와 9.5mm 직경의 두 구형 체를 가열하여 여러가지 농도의 3$0^{\circ}C$ 수용액에서 냉각시켰다. 그 결과, 순수한 물에서는 7$0^{\circ}C$ 이상인 최소막비등온도($\Delta$ $T_{MFB}$)가 300ppm농도의 폴리머 수용액에서 22.2mm구의 경우 15$0^{\circ}C$ 까지, 9.5mm구의 경우 35$0^{\circ}C$까지 낮아짐을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 폴리머 수용액에서 최소막비등온도가 크게 낮아지는 현상은 이 수용액에서 중기폭발이 억제되는 이유로 해석될 수 있다. 또한, 외부 압력파의 막비등에 대한 영향을 관찰한 결과, 수용액의 농도가 클수록 증기막의 안정도가 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 폴리머 수용액에서의 비등 특성과 증기폭발 억제에 대한 실험 결과들은 원자로 비상냉각수에 폴리에틸렌옥사이드와 같은 폴리머를 최소 300ppm 정도 소량 첨가하는 방법으로 중대사고시 폭발적 FCI 반응을 방지 또는 완화할 수 있음을 제시한다.다.

수소는 다른 연료에 비해 에너지효율이 높고 유해물질이 배출되지 않아 미래의 청정에너지원으로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 수소는 밀도가 낮아 운반 및 저장시에 부피가 커서 압축하거나 특별한 운반체를 사용해야 하며, 공기중에 노출 시 화재나 폭발의 위험성이 있다. 수소-공기 혼합물의 폭발에 관한 실험이나 수치해석적 연구가 진행되어 오고 실물 수소 충전소를 대상으로 한 폭발 시뮬레이션에 관한 연구사례는 극히 드물다. 본 연구에서는 실제 수소 충전소를 대상으로 Lidar 스캐닝을 수행하여 point cloud 데이터를 획득하고 수소 충전소 3 차원 구조 모델을 작성한다. 3 차원 구조모델은 Ansys 사 AUTODYN 에 적용되어 수소 충전소의 수소폭발을 가정한 TNT 등가량의 폭발 시뮬레이션을 실시하고 주변에 전파하는 폭발압력을 계산하여, 수소 충전소 폭발에의한 주변 보안 건물의 안전거리에 관한 정보를 제공한다.

The blast load is caused by gas or bomb explosions. In this study blast load was simulated using the computer code CONWEP and nonlinear analysis was performed on three-story steel moment frames. It was observed from the analysis results that the response of the structures varied depending on the opening area and the explosive weight.

We have investigated the chemical composition of dust grains in novae by computing the model spectra for the novae that showed temporary infrared developments shortly after their optical explosions. We find that a simple spherical dust shell models with hot blackbody central sources fit observations fairly well. Optical properties of dust grains deduced from modeling of AGB stars have been used for present calculations. We find that amorphous carbon grains appear to be the major infrared re-emission sources for the carbon-rich nova shells, and the silicate grains for the oxygen-rich nova shells.
