A new computational program, which is based on the CIP/CCUP(Constraint Interpolation Profile/CIP Combined Unified Procedure) method, has been developed to numerically analyse sloshing phenomena dealt as multiphase-flow problems. For the convection terms of Navier-Stokes equations, the RCIP(Rational function CIP) method was adopted and the THINC-WLIC(Tangent of Hyperbola for Interface Capturing-Weighted Line Interface Calculation) method was used to capture the air/water interface. To validate the present numerical method, two-dimensional dam-breaking and sloshing problems in a rectangular tank were solved by the developed method in a stationary Cartesian grid system. In the case of sloshing problems, simulations by using a improved MPS(Moving Particle Simulation) method, which is named as PNU-MPS(Pusan National University-MPS), were also carried out. The computational results are compared with those of experiments and most of the comparisons are reasonably good.

When a liquid cargo tank is partially filled with fluid, internal impact loads can be occurred from the vessel's motions. In this study, liquid sloshing problems with a thin top layer of particles with a lighter density than water and the coupling effects of the liquid-sloshing/vessel-motion were investigated in order to reduce the sloshing-induced impact loads. The PNU-MPS (Pusan-National-University-modified Moving Particle Simulation) method for solving the liquid motion inside a tank and the CHARM3D BEM (Boundary Element Method) based time-domain ship motion analysis program for vessel-motion simulation were coupled. From the simulation results, we could see that the floaters seemed to be quite effective at reducing the sloshing impact loads in the case of tank-only sloshing problems, but not as much for the coupling problem with vessel motion.

A particle method has been developed for analyzing the motion of 2-D floating body in waves. The particle method is based on the MPS(Moving Particle Semi-implicit) method suggested by Koshizuka et al. (1996), and the flow motion coupled with the motion of floating body can be simulated. The wavemaker and wave absorber are installed at the inflow and outflow boundaries in a computational domain, respectively. The motion characteristics of a floating body is investigated numerically under the various computational conditions.

During the postulated severe accident of nuclear reactor, eutectic reaction leads to low-temperature melting of fuel cladding and early failure of core structure. In order to model eutectic melting with the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method, the eutectic reaction model is developed to simulate the eutectic reaction phenomenon. The coupling of mass diffusion and phase diagram is applied to calculate the eutectic reaction with the uniform temperature. A heat transfer formula is proposed based on the phase diagram to handle the heat release or absorption during the process of eutectic reaction, and it can combine with mass diffusion and phase diagram to describe the eutectic reaction with temperature variation. The heat transfer formula is verified by the one-dimensional melting simulations and the predicted interface position agrees well with the theoretical solution. In order to verify the eutectic reaction models, the eutectic reaction of uranium and iron in two semi-infinite domains is simulated, and the profile of solid thickness decrease over time follows the parabolic law. The modified MPS method is applied to calculate Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) experiment, the penetration rate in the simulations are agreeable with the experiment results. In addition, a hypothetical case based on the TREAT experiment is also conducted to validate the eutectic reaction with temperature variation, the results present continuity with the simulations of TREAT experiment. Thus the improved method is proved to be capable of simulating the eutectic reaction in the severe accident.

A particle method recognized as one of gridless methods has been developed to investigate incompressible viscous flaw. The method is more feasible and effective than conventional grid methods for solving the flaw field with complicated boundary shapes or multiple bodies. The method is consists of particle interaction models representing pressure gradient, diffusion, incompressibility and the boundary conditions. In the present study, the models in case of various simulation condition were checked with the analytic solution, and applied to the two-dimensional Poiseuille flow in order to validate the developed method.

The incident bore impact loads acting on a tall structure is simulated using the refined Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) method. The particle method is more feasible and effective than conventional grid-based methods for the violent free-surface problems. In the present study, the simulation results for the temporal change of the hydrodynamic force on the structure and longitudinal velocity component around the structure are compared with the experiments (Radd and Bidoae, 2005). And the mitigation effects by installation of various obstacles in front of the main structure are investigated and discussed form the simulation results.

Tsunamis are ocean waves generated by movements of the Earth's crust. Several geophysical events can lead to this kind of catastrophe: earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and other mechanisms such as underwater explosions. Most of the damage associated with tsunamis are related to their run-up onto the shoreline. Therefore, effectively predicting the run-up process is an important aspect of any seismic sea wave mitigation effort. In this paper, a numerical simulation of the behaviors of a floating body near a quaywall during a tsunami is conducted by using a particle method. First, a solitary wave traveling over shallow water with a slope is numerically simulated, and the results are compared with experiments and other numerical results. Then, the behaviors of floating bodies with different drafts are investigated numerically.

In Lead-based reactor (LBR) severe accident, the meltdown and migration inside the reactor core will lead to fuel fragment concentration, which may further cause re-criticality and even core disintegration. Accurately predicting the migration and solidification behavior of melt in LBR severe accidents is of prime importance for safety analysis of LBR. In this study, the Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method is validated and used to simulate the migration and solidification behavior. Two main surface tension models are validated and compared. Meanwhile, the MPS method is validated by the L-plate solidification test. Based on the improved MPS method, the migration and solidification behavior of melt in LBR severe accident was studied furthermore. In the Pb-Bi coolant, the melt flows upward due to density difference. The migration and solidification behavior are greatly affected by the surface tension and viscous resistance varying with enthalpy. The whole movement process can be divided into three stages depending on the change in velocity. The heat transfer of core melt is determined jointly by two heat transfer modes: flow heat transfer and solid conductivity. Generally, the research results indicate that the MPS method has unique advantage in studying the migration and solidification behavior in LBR severe accident.

슬로싱 현상은 현상의 특성인 격렬한 자유표면을 가지는 유동 문제뿐만 아니라, 슬로싱이 발생하는 유체 탱크가 부유체 혹은 어떠한 물체에 탑재되어 전체 시스템에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것이 가장 큰 논의점이다. 이러한 이유로 일반적인 슬로싱에 대한 해석은 탱크의 움직임에 의한 내부 유동의 발생, 그리고 그로 인해 야기되는 충격하중의 해석이 주를 이룬다. 이러한 슬로싱 현상은 비선형성이 강하며 자유표면에서의 대-변형이 발생한다. 매우 높은 비선형성으로 인해 실험에서는 재현성이 낮고, 수치 시뮬레이션에서는 정확도가 낮다는 것이 지속적으로 문제시 되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 높은 정확도를 가지는 카메라 비전 기술을 이용한 실험과 입자법을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 비교하였다. 탱크의 주요 제원을 통해 구해진 고유 주기와 그 주변 주기를 가지는 운동에서의 슬로싱 현상을 수치적으로 시뮬레이션 하였으며, 비교를 통해 탱크 내 슬로싱 하중을 분석하였다.

해안 영역에서의 해수의 범람은 재산 및 인명피해를 야기한다. 이러한 피해를 최소화 하고자 방파시설을 설치하지만, 고정식 방파시설의 경우, 변화하는 해상상태에 대응할 수 없으며, 과도한 설정에 의한 설치는 환경적 피해를 일으킨다. 본 연구에서는 환경적 피해를 줄이고 선박의 항행에 지장이 없는 가변식 초기 쇄파 장치에 대한 연구를 실험적 방법과 입자법을 이용한 수치 해석적 방법으로 연구하였다. 초기 쇄파 장치의 유무에 따라 해안절벽으로 넘어오는 파의 범람은 큰 차이가 있었으며, 이는 실험과 수치 해석 모두 확인되었다. 또한 초기 쇄파 장치의 위치에 따른 영향 역시 고려되었으며, 위치 역시 중요한 요소임이 확인되었다.
