  • 국내 남해안 또는 서해안에 주로 분포하고 있는 연약지반에 설치되는 대부분의 중력식 해양 구조물의 경우, 상부 구조물의 자중으로 인해 과도한 압밀침하가 예상되기 때문에 고가의 연약지반 대책공법이 수반되어야 한다. 이번 연구에서는 연약지반 상의 해양 구조물에 경제적이면서도 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 새로운 형식의 부력식 기초 시스템을 개발하였고, 방파제에 대한 수치 모델링을 통해 다양한 기초 시스템의 압밀 및 횡방향 거동을 분석하였다. 해석 결과, 부력식 기초를 활용한 방파제가 기존 방파제 형식에 비해 횡방향 지지력 변화 없이 압밀 침하량 감소 효과가 뚜렷이 나타나 그 적용성을 확인하였다.

  • Underwater glider with a single buoyancy engine could generally obtain propulsive forces by moving the center of buoyancy and gravity. Futhermore, The hull and internal structure of underwater glider are designed according to the purpose of long-time operation, high speed and a wide variety of payloads (sensors, communications and etc.). In this paper, Ray-type underwater glider featuring flatfish is considered in view of hydrodynamics. The hull design is especially performed by the analysis of fluid resistance and dynamic performance. The resistance performance is analyzed using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In addition, a simulation program is implemented in order to verify the validity of dynamics modeling and dynamic performances.

  • The internal deck structure of turtle ship has been investigated with the following approach manner. Firstly the 5 species of turtle ship are identified by examining the characteristics of 5 turtle ships revealed by the librarian or paintings. Secondly the centers of gravity and buoyancy for each type are calculated to evaluate the turtle ship's buoyancy stability. Thirdly the optimal deck structures for 5 turtle ships are additionally assessed from the viewpoint of the interoperability of soldier's missions to get more meaningful conclusion. From the results obtained by the well refined analyses above, one can identify that Changjeguyseon and Lee Chung Mu Gong descendent family's turtle ship possess one layer deck, and the tongjeyoung and jwasuyoung turtle ship consist of 1 and half story deck, and the one disclosed by Yoon has 2 story structure.

  • The mass-spring model has been typically employed in physical-based simulators for clothes or patches. The mass-spring model frequently utilizes equal mass and the gravity factor. The model structure of masses supports a shape applicable to fishing nets. Therefore, to create a simulation model of a fishing net, we consider the mass-spring model and adopt the tidal-current and buoyancy effects in underwater environments. These additional factors lead to a more realistic visualization of fishing-net simulations. In this paper, we propose a new mass-spring model for a fishing-net and a method to simplify the calculation equations for a real-time simulation of a fishing-net model. Our 3D mass-spring model presents a mesh-structure similar to a typical mass-spring model except that each intersection point can have different masses. The motion of each mass is calculated periodically considering additional dynamics. To reduce the calculation time, we attempt to simplify the mathematical equations that include the effect of the tidal-current and buoyancy. Through this research, we expect to achieve a real-time and realistic simulation for the fishing net.

  • Characteristics of a laminar diffusion flame placed near wall in microgravity have been numerically analyzed in a two-dimension. The fuel for the flame is $C_2H_4$. The flame is initiated by imposing a high temperature ignition source. The flow field, temperature field, and flame shape in microgravity diffusion flame are detailed. Especially, effects of surrounding air velocity and fuel injection velocity on the microgravity diffusion flame have been discussed accounting for standoff distance. And, the effect of curvature rate has been also studied. The results showed that velocities in a diffusion flame were overshoot because of volumetric expansion and distribution of temperature showed regularity by free-buoyancy This means that the diffusion flame in microgravity is very stable, while the flame in normal gravity is not regular and unstable due to buoyancy. Standoff distance decreases with increase in surrounding air velocity and with decrease in fuel injection velocity. With increasing curvature rate, the position of reaction rate moves away the wall.

  • Double-diffusive convection inside a triangular porous cavity is studied numerically. Galerkin finite element method is adopted to derive the discrete form of the governing differential equations. The first-order backward Euler scheme is used for temporal discretization with the second-order Adams-Bashforth scheme for the convection terms in the energy and species conservation equations. The Boussinesq-Oberbeck approximation is used to calculate the density dependence on the temperature and concentration fields. A parametric study is performed with the Lewis number, the Rayleigh number, the buoyancy ratio, and the shape of the triangle. The effect of gravity orientation is considered also. Results obtained include the flow, temperature, and concentration fields. The differences induced by varying physical parameters are analyzed and discussed. It is found that the heat transfer rate is sensitive to the shape of the triangles. For the given geometries, buoyancy ratio and Rayleigh numbers are the dominating parameters controlling the heat transfer.

  • In this paper, the trajectory control problem of an underwater robot is addressed. From the viewpoint of control engineering, trajectory control of the underwater robot is not an easy task due to its nonlinear dynamics, which includes various hydraulic forces such as buoyancy forces and hydrodynamic damping, the difference between the centers of buoyancy and gravity, and disturbances from a tether cable. To solve such problems, we applied Time Delay Control to the underwater robot. This control law has a very simple structure not requiring the nonlinear plant dynamics, and was proven to be highly robust against disturbances and uncertainties. We confirmed its effectiveness through experiments.

  • In this talk we explain U-loop emergence, in which U-shaped field lines emerge into the solar surface against gravitational force. In principle, they hardly emerge because mass tends to accumulate at the bottom of U-loops, thereby decreasing buoyancy. A key is found to be the shape of U-loops, that is, if U-loops have a shallow dip whose depth is of the order of the photospheric gravitational scale height, then a diverging flow is generated via a siphon-like mechanism by which the mass accumulated at the dip of the loops is drained out to enhance buoyancy. This successfully makes U-part of the loops emerge against gravity. We also discuss the relation between U-loop emergence and the so-called flux cancellation observed on the Sun in which opposite polarity regions apparently approach together and disappear.

  • Structure of the counterflow nonpremixed flames were investigated by using Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS) and OPPDIF to evaluate FDS for simulations of the diffusion flame. FDS, employed a mixture fraction formulation, were applied to the diluted axisymmetric methane-air nonpremixed counterflow flames. Fuel concentration in the mixture of methane and nitrogen was considered as a numerical parameter in the range from 20% to 100% increasing by 10% by volume at the global strain rates of $a_g = 20S^{-l} and 80S^{-1}$ respectively. In all the computations, the gravity was set to zero since OPPDIF is not able to compute the buoyancy effects. It was shown by the axisymmetric simulation of the flames with FDS that increasing fuel concentration increases the flame thickness and decreases the flame radius. The centerline temperature and axial velocity, and the peek flame temperature showed good agreement between the both methods.

  • A direct numerical simulation (DNS) was applied to nonpremixed counter-flow diffusion flames between oxidizer and fuel ducts. The objective of this study is to evaluate the numerical method for simulation of axisymmetric counterflow diffusion flames. Effects of computational domain size and grid size were scrutinized, and then the method was applied to air-methane diffusion flames. The results at zero gravity conditions were in good agreement with those obtained by the one-dimension flame code OPPDIF. It was confirmed thai the numerical method is applicable to the diffusion flames at the normal gravity conditions since the results clearly showed the effects of buoyancy and velocity ratio.
