Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumor that usually involves the extremities, particularly near the knees; a synovial sarcoma originating in the chest wall is extremely rare. We describe a 26-year-old woman diagnosed with a synovial sarcoma originating in the chest wall, based on CT and MRI findings. Contrast-enhanced CT images revealed a small, well-defined enhancing mass with calcification, in the subpleural area. This lesion was initially diagnosed as a benign tumor; however, the patient developed sudden severe pain with spontaneous bleeding and hemothorax, suggesting the possibility of malignancy. MRI revealed a multilobulated mass with a fluid-fluid level, which characterizes a synovial sarcoma.

Three-dimensional potential flow due to the translation of a sphere touching a rigid plane wall or a free wall is investigated by use of tangent sphere coordinates. Exact expressions for the velocity potential are derived in integral formes. Added mass and lift force on the sphere are also calculated.

21 cases of the chest wall tumors that were operated and proved by pathologically at the dept. of thoracic & cardlovascular surgery, SNUH during 16 years from 1965 to 1981 were reviewed. The results are as follows: 1.Benign tumors were 11 cases. Primary malignant tumors were 7 cases. Metastatic tumors were 3 cases. 2.Incidence rate of male to female was 1.5:1. 3.Main symptoms were palpable mass [52.4%] and localized chest pain [14.3%]. 4.Locations of tumors were rib [61.9%], soft tissues and muscle [33.3%] and sternum [4.8%]. We excluded the Tbc, rib carles from the chest wall tumors.

Enthalpy transport in a pulse tube was investigated by two-dimensional analysis of mass, momentum and energy equations of the gas as well as energy conservation of the tube wall. The mean temperature of the gas and the tube wall was obtained directly by assuming that the outer surface of a pulse tube is adiabatic. Effects of operating frequency, tube wall thickness, velocity ratio and velocity phase angle between both ends of a pulse tube on net enthalpy flow were shown.

Clinical experience with a case of empyema thoracis associated with sparganosis invading the thoracic wall is reported. Two living larvae of Sparganum Mansoni were successfully removed by surgery from the subcutaneous tissue of the thoracic wall in a man, 34 years old, who had a history of ingestion of a raw snake and a raw beef. He had no swelling and tenderness and mass of the thoracic wall for 11 years.

A numerical model is constructed to simulate the interactions of oblique shock wave / turbulent boundary layer on a strongly heated wall. The heated wall temperature is two times higher than the adiabatic wall temperature and the shock wave is strong enough to induce boundary layer separation. The numerical diffusion in the finite volume method is reduced by the use of a higher order convection scheme(UMIST scheme) which is a TVD version of QUICK scheme. The turbulence model is Chen-Kim two time scale model. The comparison of the wall pressure distribution with the experimental data ensures the validity of this numerical model. The effect of strong wall heating enlarges the separation region upstream and downstream. In order to eliminate the separation, wall suction is applied at the shock foot position. The bleeding slot width is about same as the upstream boundary layer thickness and suction mass flow is 10% of the flow rate in the upstream boundary layer. The final configuration of the shock reflection pattern and the wall pressure distribution approach to the non-viscous value when wall suction is applied.

The characteristics of Prand시-Meyer expansion of supersonic flow with condensation along a wavy wall in a channel are investigated by means of experiments and numerical analyses. Experiments are carried out for the case of moist air flow in an intermittent indraft supersonic wind tunnel. The flow fields are visualized by a Schlieren system and the distributions of static pressure along the upper wavy wall are measured by a scanning valve system with pressure transducers. In numerical analyses, the distributions of streamlines, Mach lines, iso-pressure lines, and iso-mass fractions of liquid are obtained by the two-dimensional direct marching method of characteristics. The effects of stagnation temperature, absolute humidity, and attack angle of the upper wavy wall on the generation and the locations of generation and reflection of an oblique shock wave are clarified. Futhermore, it is confirmed that the wavy wall plays an important role in the generation of an oblique shock wave and that the effect of condensation on the flow fields is apparent.

This paper deals experimentally with the effect of the sound-damping sheet on building wall system; brick wall, light wall panel, and gypsum board. Experimental results show that when the sound-damping sheet is attached on wall systems, the mass and/or damping effects result in increasing of STL of wall system depending on the characteristics of the original partition. It is pointed out that the performances of sound damping sheets must be presented with specific wall structures that applied, not by the sound transmission loss of the sheet itself.

Desmoid tumor is found most often in the anterior abdominal wall of parous women. Although it may originate in virtually any musculotendinous structure, those of the chest wall are rare. We experienced a case of large dumb bell shaped desmoid tumor originated in intercostal muscle and invaded anterior chest wall, pericardium, pleura and the lung. The patient was healthy in appearance except a painful swelling on the anterior chest wall. Roentgenographic studies demonstrated a huge homogenous mass in the right anterior chest cavity. He was treated with resection of the tumor including .anterior chest wall, a portion of the pericardium, middle lobe, and part of upper & lower lobes of the right lung because of tumor invasion. The tumor composed with two parts, one [$5{\times}4{\times}3$cm in size] is over the rib cage and another [$10{\times}15{\times}10$cm in size] is in the right chest cavity. Postoperative course was uneventful and there was no evidence of recurrence until last visit, 5 months after surgery.

In this study, a new method for treating the wall boundary in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is proposed to simulate free surface flows effectively. Unlike conventional methods of wall boundary treatment through boundary particles, in the proposed method, the wall boundary condition is directly imposed by adding boundary truncation terms to the mass and momentum conservation equations. Thus, boundary particles are not used in boundary modeling. Doing so, the wall boundary condition is accurately imposed, boundary modeling is simplified, and computation is made efficient without losing stability in SPH. Performance of the proposed method is demonstrated through several numerical examples: dam break, dam break with a wedge, sloshing, inclined bed, cross-lever rotation, pulsating tank and sloshing with a flexible baffle. These results are compared with available experimental results, analytical solutions, and results obtained using the boundary particle method.
