The dc reactor type superconducting fault current limiter is composed of a power converter, magnetic core reactors and a do reactor that is a superconducting coil. When a fault occurs, the dc reactor maintains the stability of system by limiting its fault current. In this study, we focus on the design of the dc reactor using FEM(Finite Element Method). In order to design it, various elements should be considered such as magnetic field intensity, Lorentz's force, its inductance and so forth. Firstly, we forecast the values of those elements from the simulation of FEM and then measured with a copper wire magnet. Finally, verify the reliability of this FEM method by comparing with two results.

In the current examination, a trigonometric shear deformation theory is hired to govern natural frequencies of a functionally graded porous microplate which is covered by two nanocomposite layers. The properties of the structure are varied based on the specified patterns. Utilizing the modified form of couple stress theory for taking the scale effect into account in conjunction with Hamilton's principle, the motion equations are obtained. Then, they are solved via Fourier series functions as an analytical approach. After confirming the results' accuracy, various parameters' effect on the results is investigated. Designing and manufacturing more efficient structures, especially those that are subjected to multi-physical loads can be accounted as findings of this work.

Since the eddy current problem usually depends on the geometry of the moving conductive sheet and the shape of the pole projection area, there is no general method to find out its analytical solution. The analysis of the eddy current in a rotating disk is performed in the case of time-invariant field to find its analytical solution. As a method to solve the eddy current problem, the concept of the Coulomb charge and image method are proposed with the consideration of the boundary condition. Firstly, the line charge is obtained from the volume charge generated in the rotating disk and Coulomb's law is applied. Secondly, the finite disk radius is considered by introducing an imaginary eddy current to satisfy the boundary condition that the radial component of the eddy current is zero at the edge of the relating disk. Thirdly, the braking torque is calculated by applying Lorentz force law. Finally, the computed braking torque is compared with the measured one As a result, it can be said that the proposed model presents fairly accurate results in a low angular velocity range although a large error is observed as the angular velocity of the disk increases.

An annular linear induction electromagnetic pump (ALIP) which has a developed pressure of 0.76 bar and a flow rate of 100 L/min is designed to analysis end effect which is main problem to use ALIP in thermohydraulic system of the prototype generation-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR). Because there is no moving part which is directly in contact with the liquid, such as the impeller of a mechanical pump, an ALIP is one of the best options for transporting sodium, considering the high temperature and reactivity of liquid sodium. For the analysis of an ALIP, some of the most important characteristics are the electromagnetic properties such as the magnetic field, current density, and the Lorentz force. These electromagnetic properties not only affect the performance of an ALIP, but they additionally influence the end effect. The end effect is caused by distortion to the electromagnetic field at both ends of an ALIP, influencing both the flow stability and developed pressure. The electromagnetic field distribution in an ALIP is analyzed in this study by solving Maxwell's equations and using numerical analysis.

High-speed forming process is the forming technology that deforms the blank in a very short time, with the strain rate of the blank above 1000 s⁻¹. Among many high-speed forming processes, electromagnetic forming (EMF) employs the Lorentz force when deforms the blank. Because of the high strain rate, the formability of the blank can be improved. However, when the blank is formed into rather complex shapes, it is bounced from the die and the wrinkles are generated. Therefore, electrohydraulic forming (EHF) is suggested in this study to reduce the bouncing problem of the blank. EHF is a high-speed forming that uses high voltage discharge in liquid. The shockwave resulting from the electric discharge propagates to the blank and it deforms the blank into the die. In this study, two high-speed forming processes, EMF and EHF were compared numerically with trapezoidal middle block die. This comparison showed that EMF cannot deform the blank into the die because of the bouncing, while EHF can overcome the bouncing problem and deform the blank into the die shape successfully.

The geometrical and electromagnetic variables of a rectangular-type magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) circulation system are optimized to solve MHD equations for the active decay heat removal system of a prototype Gen-IV sodium fast reactor. Decay heat must be actively removed from the reactor coolant to prevent the reactor system from exceeding its temperature limit. A rectangular-type MHD circulation system is adopted to remove this heat via an active system that produces developed pressure through the Lorentz force of the circulating sodium. Thus, the rectangular-type MHD circulation system for a circulating loop is modeled with the following specifications: a developed pressure of 2 kPa and flow rate of $0.02m^3/s$ at a temperature of 499 K. The MHD equations, which consist of momentum and Maxwell's equations, are solved to find the minimum input current satisfying the nominal developed pressure and flow rate according to the change of variables including the magnetic flux density and geometrical variables. The optimization shows that the rectangular-type MHD circulation system requires a current of 3976 A and a magnetic flux density of 0.037 T under the conditions of the active decay heat removal system.

The characteristics of arc pressure, current density and heat flux distribution are important factors in understanding physical arc phenomena, which will have a marked effect on the penetration, size and shape of a weld in TIG welding. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of the heat flux on the melting efficiency and penetration shape in TIG welding using the results of the previous investigators. The conclusions obtained permit to draw a proper method which derived the heat flux distributions by arc pressure distribution measurements, but previous researchers calculated heat flux and current distribution with the heat intensity measurements by the calorimetry. Heat flux of Ar gas arc was concentrated at the central part and distributed low from the arc axis to the radial direction, that of He mixing arc was lower than that of Ar gas, and it was wide distributed to radial direction. That showed a similar characteristic with the Nestor's by calorimetry calculated values. Throughout heat flux drawn in this study was discussed melting efficiency and penetration shape on Ar gas and He mixing gas arc.

Magnetohydrodynamics(MHD) dynamo depends on many factors such as viscosity ${\gamma}$, magnetic diffusivity ${\eta}$, magnetic Reynolds number $Re_M$, external driving source, or magnetic Prandtl number $Pr_M$. $Pr_M$, the ratio of ${\gamma}$ to ${\eta}$ (for example, galaxy ${\sim}10^{14}$), plays an important role in small scale dynamo. With the high PrM, conductivity effect becomes very important in small scale regime between the viscous scale ($k_{\gamma}{\sim}Re^{3/4}k_fk_f$:forcing scale) and resistivity scale ($k_{\eta}{\sim}PrM^{1/2}k_{\gamma}$). Since ${\eta}$ is very small, the balance of local energy transport due to the advection term and nonlocal energy transfer decides the magnetic energy spectra. Beyond the viscous scale, the stretched magnetic field (magnetic tension in Lorentz force) transfers the magnetic energy, which is originally from the kinetic energy, back to the kinetic eddies leading to the extension of the viscous scale. This repeated process eventually decides the energy spectrum of the coupled momentum and magnetic induction equation. However, the evolving profile does not follow Kolmogorov's -3/5 law. The spectra of EV (${\sim}k^{-4}$) and EM (${\sim}k^0$ or $k^{-1}$) in high $Pr_M$ have been reported, but our recent simulation results show a little different scaling law ($E_V{\sim}k^{-3}-k^{-4}$, $EM{\sim}k^{-1/2}-k^{-1}$). We show the results and explain the reason.

In order to more closely examine the vacuum arc phenomena, it is necessary to predict the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) characteristics by the multidisciplinary numerical modeling, which is coupled with the electromagnetic and hydrodynamic fields, simultaneously. In this study, the thermal-fluid characteristics of high current vacuum arcs were calculated by a commercial multiphysics package, ANSYS, in order to obtain Joule heat, Lorentz force and the interactions with flow variables. We assumed the diffused-mode arc within an AMF vacuum interrupter. It was found with four different currents that the temperature distributions on the anode surface are diffused uniformly without concentration in 7kA for both types (cup and coil-type). But the arc plasma transition and an increase of thermal flux density for increasing the applied current have caused the change of temperature distributions on the anode surface. We should need further studies on the two-way coupling method and radiation model for arc plasmas in order to accomplish the advanced analysis method for multiphysics.
