우리 나라 축사는 생산효율 제고를 위하여 대형화, 밀폐화, 고밀도화, 자동화 경향이 뚜렷하다. 대형의 밀폐된 고밀도 축사는 쾌적한 실내환경을 전제로 하기 때문에 기계적으로 실내환경을 적절히 제어하지 않으면 안된다. 제한된 공간에 먼지, 병원성 미생물, 유해기체, 수분이나 열의 과도한 집적은 생산과 재생산효율에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 축사내 생산주체인 가축과 작업인이 쾌적한 실내환경에서 생산활동을 할 수 있도록 열적, 화학적/생물학적 환경을 물리적으로 제어하지 않으면 안된다. 본 연구는 실험축사내 가축이 일정한 열을 발생할 때 실내공기의 유동형태를 예측하기 위해서 수행하였다. 이 연구의 결과를 실내환경제어를 위한 환기시스템 책략 개발의 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다. 실험축사내의 공기유동을 예측하기 위해 Body-Fitted Coordinate(BFC)의 격자배열과 k-$\varepsilon$ 난류모형 및 SIMPLE계열 solution scheme을 사용하였으며, 예측의 유효성 검정은 Boon(1978)의 실험결과를 이용하였다. 예측한 공기유동의 형태와 실험한 공기유동의 형태를 비교한 결과 대체로 만족할만한 결과를 얻었다. 그러나 유입공기의 온도가 1$0^{\circ}C$인 경우의 공기유동은 실험유동형태와 약간의 차이가 있었다. 즉, 실험에서는 수평슬롯으로 유입 된 공기가 바로 아래로 굴절되어 유동하였으나, 예측의 결과는 일정 거리로 수평방향으로 유동하다가 아래로 굴절하였다. 이런 유동의 차이는 k-$\varepsilon$ 난류모형 자체가 경험적으로 부력에 민감하게 반응않는 결함이 원인이 될 수도 있으며, 실험의 부적절한 수행이 원인이 될 수도 있다. 이 유동의 경우 Reynolds 수가 3,000정도의 난류이며, 완전발달유동 (fully-developed flow)이므로 관성력 (inertia force)이 부력 (buoyancy force)보다 커, 일정거리 수평으로 유동하다가 아래로 굴절할 수도 있기 때문이다. 앞으로 이를 규명하기 위한 보다 깊이 있는 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

In industrial field, there are several operations where a horizontal unidirectional airflow is used to control airborne contaminants. When a worker is immersed in a uniform freestream, a recirculating airflow can be created downstream of the worker by the phenomenon of boundary layer seperation. If the contaminant source and the breathing zone are within this near-wake region, high exposure may occur. The investigation for the effect of contaminant source location on worker exposure was performed by using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). The airflow field was numerically calculated by assuming a steady flow and using the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. As the results were compared with experimental data, the applicability of CFD was successfully verified. Subsequently, the breathing zone concentrations of the worker were predicted and compared with experimental data. The effects of contaminant density and turbulence intensity of freestream on worker exposure were evaluated.

HRSG(Heat Recovery Steam Generator) building is large enclosed structure included various heat sources. This building needs to appropriately keep internal air temperature for worker's safety and operability of control devices. In this study, ventilation analysis is performed to find proper ventilation method for temperature control. Ventilation analysis is applied to entire internal space of the building with standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model and enhanced wall treatment because of large size of the structure. And the ventilation method is considered natural and forced convection with two louver structures which has damper or not. Louver structure affect directly air circulation in near HRSG and lower region of the building. Forced ventilation provides strong inertial force which cause upward airflow. From the analysis, it is found that design requirement for internal air temperature can be satisfied by forced ventilation method with louver structure without damper.

A numerical study for performance analysis of a crossflow-type forced draft cooling tower has been performed based on the finite volume method with non-orthogonal body fitted, and non-staggered grid system. For solving the coupling problem between water and air, air enthalpy, moisture fraction, water enthalpy, and water mass balance equations are solved with Navier-Stoke's equations simultaneously. For the effect of turbulence, the standard k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model is implied in this analysis. The predicted result of the present analysis is compared with the experimental data and the commercial software result to validate the present study. The predicted results show good agreement with the experimental data and the commercial software result. To investigate the influence of the cooling tower design parameters such as approach, range and wet bulb temperature, parametric studies are also performed.

A horizontally curvilinear non-hydrostatic free surface model that was applicable to three-dimensional viscous flows was developed. The proposed model employed a top-layer equation to close kinematic free-surface boundary condition, and an isotropic k-${\varepsilon}$ model to close turbulence viscosity in the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equation. The model solved the governing equations with a fractional step method, which solved intermediate velocities in the advection-diffusion step, and corrects these provisional velocities by accounting for source terms including pressure gradient and gravity acceleration. Numerical applications were implemented to the wind-driven currents in a two-dimensional closed basin, the flow in a steep-sided trench, and the flow in a strongly-curved channel accounting for secondary current by the centrifugal force. Through the numerical simulations, the model showed its capability that were in good agreement with experimental data with respect to free surface elevation, velocity, and turbulence characteristics.

An accurate hysteresis model of an elastomer is important for quantifying viscoelastic energy loss. We suggest a highly nonlinear hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model of elastomers. The model captures a nonlinear viscoelastic characteristic by combining Yeoh's hyperelastic model and Hoofatt's hysteresis model used Neo-Hookean hyperelastic model. Analytical and numerical models were generated from uniaxial cyclic tests of an elastomer under a sinusoidal load with a mean strain of 150%, amplitudes of 20~80%, and frequencies of 0.02~0.2Hz. The viscoelastic model can highly capture the viscoelastic energy loss up to a strain of 230%.

Modeling swirling wakes is of considerable interest to wind farm designers. The present work is an attempt to develop a computational tool to understand free, far-wake development behind a single rotating wind turbine. Besides the standard momentum and continuity equations from the boundary layer theory in two dimensions, an additional equation for the conservation of angular momentum is introduced to study axisymmetric swirl effects on wake growth. Turbulence is simulated with two options: the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model and the Reynolds Stress transport model. A finite volume method is used to discretize the governing equations for mean flow and turbulence quantities. A marching algorithm of expanding grids is employed to enclose the growing far-wake and to solve the equations implicitly at every axial step. Axisymmetric far-wakes with/without swirl are studied at different Reynolds numbers and swirl numbers. Wake characteristics such as wake width, half radius, velocity profiles and pressure profiles are computed. Compared with the results obtained under similar flow conditions using the computational software, FLUENT, this far-wake model shows simplicity with acceptable accuracy, covering large wake regions in far-wake study.

In the present study, the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, together with the equations of the $k-{\varepsilon}$ model of turbulence, were solved numerically in a general body-fitted coordinate system for three-dimensional turbulent flows around the six basic shapes of the magnetically levitated train(MAGLEV). The numerical computations were conducted on the MAGLEV model configurations to provide information on shapes of this type very near the elevated track at a constant Reynolds number of $1.48{\times}10^{6}$ based on the body length. The coordinate system was generated by numerically solving a set of Poisson equations. The convective transport equations were discretized using the finite-analytic scheme which employed analytic solutions of the locally-linearized equations. A time marching algorithm was employed to enable future extensions to be made to handle unsteady and fully-elliptic problems. The pressure-velocity coupling was treated with the SIMPLER-algorithm. Of particular interests were wall effect by the elevated track on the aerodynamic forces and flow characteristics of the six models calculated. The results indicated that the half-circle configuration with extended sides and with smooth curvature of sides was desirable because of the low aerodynamic forces and pitching moment. And it was found that the separation bubble was occured at wake region in near the elevated track.

This paper considers a machine maintenance problem. The machine's condition is partially known by observing the machine's output products. This problem is formulated as an infinite horizon partially observable Markov decison process to find an optimal maintenance policy. However, even though the optimal policy of the model exists, finding the optimal policy is very time consuming. Thus, the intends of this study is to find ${\varepsilon}-optimal$ stationary policy minimizing the expected discounted total cost of the system, ${\varepsilon}-optimal$ policy is found by using a modified version of the well-known policy iteration algorithm. A numerical example is also shown.

A physical model experiment with GPR and 3-D resisitivity survey were conducted to investigate the geoelectrical response of hydrocarbon-impacted zone, so called smeared zone, on the geophysical data. The results from the experiment show that GPR signals were enhanced when LNAPL was present as a residual saturation in the water saturated system (${\varepsilon}_r$ = 21) due to less attenuation of the electromagnetic energy through the medium, compared to when the medium was saturated with only water (${\varepsilon}_r$ = 21). 3-D resistivity data obtained from the former gas station site demonstrate that the highly contaminated zones could be imaged with low resistivities attributed to the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons at the aged, hydrocarbon-impacted sites. The study results also show that the geophysical methods, as a non-invasive sounding technique, can be a very useful tool for mapping hydrocarbon-contaminated zones.
