하천의 안정성과 이용도를 높이기 위하여 설치하는 하천 호안이 최우선으로 여기는 가치는 홍수에 견딜 수 있는 치수적인 안전성 확보이다. 이러한 구조물은 물의 하천의 안정성을 확보하면서 호안의 세굴을 막기위해 설치된다. 기존에 하천에 설치된 호안 기술은 사석, 돌망태 및 콘크리트 등으로 구성되어 있다. 하지만 사석 및 돌망태 기술은 급격한 홍수로 인해 쉽게 유실 및 파괴되는 단점을 지니고 있으며, 콘크리트 기술은 소재의 안정성은 강하지만, 물속에 오랜 시간동안 존재할 경우 수생태계에 악영향을 미치는 강염기가 약 10년간 용출되고, 콘크리트 표면에 식생이 성장하지 못하기 때문에 환경 및 생태적인 이유로 문제가 되고 있다. 이에 피마자유에서 추출된 바이오폴리머 소재를 활용하여 다층다공성 하천호안보호기술을 개발하였으며, 한국건설기술연구원 안동하천실험센터에서 실규모 하천실험을 통해 수리학적 안정성 검토결과, 유속 8.0 m/s 및 최대 허용 소류력은 67.25 kg_f/m² (659.05 N/m²)에서 수리적인 안정성을 확인하였다.

Eulerian개념을 사용한 격자계 내 임의의 경계면 주위 점성유동 해석에서, 운동하며 변형하는 경계면 근방 해의 정도를 향상시키기 위해서 격자생성시 경계면으로 격자점들을 집중시켜주는 레벨셋법에 바탕을 둔 격자변형법을 도입하였다. 본 연구에서는 격자점들을 경계면 근방으로 집중되는 정도를 용이하게 조절할 수 있도록 새로운 형태의 모니터함수를 제시하였다. 집중격자계를 사용함으로 얻어지는 향상된 해의 정도의 검증을 위하여 바닥에 고정된 반원 실린더 주위 정상유동에 대하여 가상경계법을 함께 사용하여 해석하였다. 수치계산결과는 물체적합 격자계를 사용해서 얻은 결과와 매우 잘 일치하였으며, 집중격자법을 사용하지 않은 해석결과보다 향상된 결과를 보여주었다. 수치계산의 또 다른 예제로서 다수의 고정된 물체주위 유동해석으로 확장 적용하여 공학적 유용성을 검증하였다. 마지막으로 이동 집중격자계의 생성법의 적용을 위해서 움직이면서 변형을 일으키는 2차원 기포상승문제를 해석하였다. 수치해석결과에서 격자점들은 매시간 기포의 변형에 맞추어 적합하게 집중된 형태를 잘 보여주었으며, 고정된 격자계를 사용한 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

진동수주형의 파력발전구조물(OWC-WEC)는 파랑에너지 흡수장치 중에 가장 효율적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 장치는 공기실 내부에서 해수면의 상 하운동을 공기흐름으로 변환하고, Wells 터빈으로 대표되는 터빈의 구동력으로부터 전기에너지가 생산된다. 따라서, 높은 전기에너지를 얻기 위해서는 공기실 내부에서의 수면변동에 피스톤모드의 공진을 유발시켜 수면진동을 증폭시킬 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 해수소통구를 구비한 신형식의 OWC-WEC를 상정하고, 구조물에 의한 파랑변형, 공기실 내에서 수면변동과 노즐에서 공기유출속도 및 해수소통구에서 해수흐름속도를 수치해석적으로 상세히 평가한다. 수치해석모델은 Navier-Stokes solver의 혼상류해석기법에 기초한 공개 CFD code인 OLAFLOW 모델을 적용하며, 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 기존의 실험결과 및 수치해석결과와를 비교 논의한다. 본 연구의 범위 내에서 Ursell수가 커질수록 노즐에서 공기흐름속도가 증가하며, 공기실 내부에서 외부로 유출되는 공기속도가 외부에서 공기실 내부로 유입되는 공기속도보다 더 크다 등의 중요한 사실을 알 수 있었다.

Many experimental and numerical approaches have been developed to evaluate paving materials and to predict pavement response and distress. Micromechanical simulation modeling is a technology that can reduce the number of physical tests required in material formulation and design and that can provide more details, e.g., the internal stress and strain state, and energy evolution and dissipation in simulated specimens with realistic microstructural features. A clustered distinct element modeling (DEM) approach was implemented In the two-dimensional particle flow software package (PFC-2D) to study the complex behavior observed in asphalt mixture fracturing. The relationship between continuous and discontinuous material properties was defined based on the potential energy approach. The theoretical relationship was validated with the uniform axial compression and cantilever beam model using two-dimensional plane strain and plane stress models. A bilinear cohesive displacement-softening model was implemented as an intrinsic interface and applied for both homogeneous and heterogeneous fracture modeling in order to simulate behavior in the fracture process zone and to simulate crack propagation. A disk-shaped compact tension test (DC(T)) with heterogeneous microstructure was simulated and compared with the experimental fracture test results to study Mode I fracture. The realistic arbitrary crack propagation including crack deflection, microcracking, crack face sliding, crack branching, and crack tip blunting could be represented in the fracture models. This micromechanical modeling approach represents the early developmental stages towards a 'virtual asphalt laboratory,' where simulations of laboratory tests and eventually field response and distress predictions can be made to enhance our understanding of pavement distress mechanisms, such its thermal fracture, reflective cracking, and fatigue crack growth.

A multi-objective optimization of a regenerative fan for enhancing the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance was carried out using an integrated fan design system, namely, Total FAN-Regen$^{(R)}$. The Total FAN-Regen$^{(R)}$ was developed for non-specialists to carry out a series of design process, viz., computational preliminary design, three-dimensional aerodynamic and aeroacoustic analyses, and design optimization, for a regenerative fan. An aerodynamic analysis of the regenerative fan was conducted by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the shear stress transport turbulence model. And, an aeroacoustic analysis of the regenerative fan was implemented in a finite/infinite element method by solving the variational formulation of Lighthill's analogy based on the results of the unsteady flow analysis. An optimum shape obtained by Total FAN-Regen$^{(R)}$ shows the enhanced efficiency and decreased sound pressure level as much as 1.5 % and 20.0 dB, respectively, compared to those of the reference design. The performance test was carried out for an optimized regenerative fan to validate the performance of the numerically predicted optimal design.

It is essential in commercial reactors that the safety limits imposed on the fuel pellets and fuel clad barriers, such as the linear power density (LPD) and the departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR), are not violated during reactor operations. In order to accurately monitor the safety limits of current reactor states, a detailed three-dimensional (3D) core power distribution should be estimated from the in-core detector signals. In this paper, we propose a calculation methodology for detailed 3D core power distribution, using in-core detector signals and core monitoring constants such as the 3D Coupling Coefficients (3DCC), node power fraction, and pin-to-node factors. Also, the calculation method for several core safety parameters is introduced. The core monitoring constants for the real core state are promptly provided by the core design code and on-line MASTER (Multi-purpose Analyzer for Static and Transient Effects of Reactors), coupled with the core monitoring program. through the plant computer, core state variables, which include reactor thermal power, control rod bank position, boron concentration, inlet moderator temperature, and flow rate, are supplied as input data for MASTER. MASTER performs the core calculation based on the neutron balance equation and generates several core monitoring constants corresponding to the real core state in addition to the expected core power distribution. The accuracy of the developed method is verified through a comparison with the current CECOR method. Because in all the verification calculation cases the proposed method shows a more conservative value than the best estimated value and a less conservative one than the current CECOR and COLSS methods, it is also confirmed that this method secures a greater operating margin through the simulation of the YGN-3 Cycle-1 core from the viewpoint of the power peaking factor for the LPD and the pseudo hot pin axial power distribution for the DNBR calculation.

In the present study, an enhanced subsurface prediction algorithm based on a non-parametric geostatistical model and a history matching technique through Gibbs sampler is developed and the iterative prediction improvement procedure is proposed. The developed model is applied to a simple two-dimensional synthetic case where domain is composed of three different hydrogeologic media with $500m{\times}40m$ scale. In the application, it is assumed that there are 4 independent pumping tests performed at different vertical interval and the history curves are acquired through numerical modeling. With two hypothetical borehole information and pumping test data, the proposed prediction model is applied iteratively and continuous improvements of the predictions with reduced uncertainties of the media distribution are observed. From the results and the qualitative/quantitative analysis, it is concluded that the proposed model is good for the subsurface prediction improvements where the history data is available as a supportive information. Once the proposed model be a matured technique, it is believed that the model can be applied to many groundwater, geothermal, gas and oil problems with conventional fluid flow simulators. However, the overall development is still in its preliminary step and further considerations needs to be incorporated to be a viable and practical prediction technique including multi-dimensional verifications, global optimization, etc. which have not been resolved in the present study.

The uses of multi-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality models are increasing to support a sustainable management of large dam reservoirs in Korea. Any modeling study requires selection of a proper spatial dimension of the model based on the characteristics of spatial variability of concerned simulation variables. For example, a laterally averaged two-dimensional (2D) model, which has been widely used in many large dam reservoirs in Korea, assumes that the lateral variations of hydrodynamic and water quality variables are negligible. However, there has been limited studies to give a justification of the assumption. The objectives of this study were to present the characteristics of spatial variations of water quality variables through intensive field monitoring in Daechung Reservoir, and provide information on a proper spatial dimension for different water quality parameters. The monitoring results showed that the lateral variations of water temperature are marginal, but those of DO, pH, and conductivity could be significant depending on the hydrological conditions and local algal biomass. In particular, the phytoplankton (Chl-a) and nutrient concentrations showed a significant lateral variation at R2 (Daejeongri) during low flow periods in 2008 possibly because of slow lateral mixing of tributary inflow from So-oak Stream and wind driven patchiness.

Majority of transmission line system failures at many locations worldwide have been caused by severe localized wind events in the form of tornadoes and downbursts. This study evaluates the structural response of two different transmission line systems under equivalent F2 tornadoes obtained from real incidents. Two multi-span self-supported transmission line systems are considered in the study. Nonlinear three-dimensional finite element models are developed for both systems. The finite element models simulate six spans and five towers. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are used to develop the tornado wind fields. Using a proper scaling method for geometry and velocity, full-scale tornado flow fields for the Stockton, KS, 2005 and Goshen County WY, 2009 are developed and considered together with a previously developed tornado wind field. The tornado wind profiles are obtained in terms of tangential, radial, and axial velocities. The simulated tornadoes are then normalized to the maximum velocity value for F2 tornadoes in order to compare the effect of different tornadoes having an equal magnitude. The tornado wind fields are incorporated into a three-dimensional finite element model. By varying the location of the tornado relative to the transmission line systems, base shears of the tower of interest and peak internal forces in the tower members are evaluated. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to assess the variation of the structural behaviour of the studied transmission lines associated with the location of the tornado relative to the tower of interest. The tornado-induced forces in both lines due to the three different normalized tornadoes are compared with corresponding values evaluated using the simplified load case method recently incorporated in the ASCE-74 (2020) guidelines, which was previously developed based on the research conducted at Western University.

The study of bacterial flagellar swimming motion remains an interesting and challenging research subject in the fields of hydrodynamics and bio-locomotion. This swimming motion is characterized by very low Reynolds numbers, which is unique and time reversible. In particular, the effect of rotation of helical flagella of bacterium on swimming motion requires detailed multi-disciplinary analysis. Clear understanding of such swimming motion will not only be beneficial for biologists but also to engineers interested in developing nanorobots mimicking bacterial swimming. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of a three dimensional single flagellated bacteria has been developed and the fluid flow around the flagellum is investigated. CFD-based modeling studies were conducted to find the variables that affect the forward thrust experienced by the swimming bacterium. It is found that the propulsive force increases with increase in rotational velocity of flagellum and viscosity of surrounding fluid. It is also deduced from the study that the forward force depends on the geometry of helical flagella (directly proportional to square of the helical radius and inversely proportional to pitch).
