The bearing mechanism of tunnel-type anchorage (TTA) for suspension bridges is studied. Model tests are conducted using different shapes of plug bodies, which are circular column shape and circular truncated cone shape. The results show that the plug body of the latter shape possesses much larger bearing capacity, namely 4.48 times at elastic deformation stage and 4.54 times at failure stage compared to the former shape. Numerical simulation is then conducted to understand the mechanical and structural responses of plug body and surrounding rock mass. The mechanical parameters of the surrounding rock mass are firstly back-analyzed based on the monitoring data. The calculation laws of deformation and equivalent plastic strain show that the numerical simulation results are rational and provide subsequent mechanism analysis with an established basis. Afterwards, the bearing mechanism of TTA is studied. It is concluded that the plug body of circular truncated cone shape is able to take advantage of the material strength of the surrounding rock mass, which greatly enhances its bearing capacity. The ultimate bearing capacity of TTA, therefore, is concluded to be determined by the material strength of surrounding rock mass. Finally, recommendations for TTA design are proposed and discussed.

Aeronautics engine cooling is one of the biggest problems that engineers have tried to solve since the beginning of human flight. Systems like radiators should solve this purpose and they have been studied extensively and various solutions have been found to aid the heat dissipation in the engine zone. Special interest has been given to air coolers in order to guide the air flow on engine and lower the high temperatures achieved by the engine in flow conditions. The aircraft companies need faster and faster tools to design their solutions so the development of tools that allow to quickly assess the effectiveness of an cooling system is appreciated. This paper tries to develop a methodology capable of providing such support to companies by means of some application examples. In this work the development of a new methodology for the analysis and the design of oil cooling systems for aerospace applications is presented. The aim is to speed up the simulation of the oil cooling devices in different operative conditions in order to establish the effectiveness and the critical aspects of these devices. Steady turbulent flow simulations are carried out considering the air as ideal-gas with a constant-averaged specific heat. The heat exchanger is simulated using porous media models. The numerical model is first tested on Piaggio P180 considering the pressure losses and temperature increases within the heat exchanger in the several operative data available for this device. In particular, thermal power transferred to cooling air is assumed equal to that nominal of real heat exchanger and the pressure losses are reproduced setting the viscous and internal resistance coefficients of the porous media numerical model. To account for turbulence, the k-${\omega}$ SST model is considered with Low- Re correction enabled. Some applications are then shown for this methodology while final results are shown in terms of pressure, temperature contours and streamlines.

본 연구는 에폭시 계열 내화 도료의 열분해 특성을 파악하기 위해 열중량분석과 수치해석을 동시에 수행하였다. 에폭시 계열 내화 도료의 질량 감소 양상을 수치적으로 구현하기 위한 계산 모델이 소개되었으며, 계산 모델은 내화 도료의 여러 열분해과정을 단순화하여 4 단계의 순차적인 열분해 형태로 만들었다. 반응 속도는 Arrhenious 형태로 모델 되었고, 열중량분석을 통해 획득된 열분해 현상을 수치적으로 모사하기 위하여 화학 반응 매개변수들이 최적화되었다. 실험 결과 두 단계(two-step)와 세 단계(three-step)의 급격한 질량 감소가 질소와 공기 분위기에서 각각 나타났다. 또한 도료가 공기 분위기에 노출되었을 때 산소의 참여로 발생하는 복합적인 화학 반응들이 내화도료의 안정화를 도와 $200{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 질량 감소율을 낮추었다. 수치해석 결과는 실험과 비교하여 전체적으로 잘 일치하였으며 수치 모델에 포함되지 않은 $800^{\circ}C$ 이후를 제외하면 3% 미만의 오차를 보였다.

There are several technological problems have to be resolved for LEDs to be used as a general purpose light source. In addition, there are several differences between existing luminaires and the general planer LED luminaire for the intensity distribution. Therefore, the optical engineer then faces the challenging a problem of designing for a spatially extended and non-uniform light source. In the previous studies on the optical design of luminaires, a lot of studies on reflectors and light source have been conducted but the ones on prisms and lenses are insufficient at present. This study developed the numerical model of planar prism LED luminaire to control luminous intensity distribution of LED luminaires. And this study presents an optical calculation process for the prism optical design of a planar prism LED luminaire and a comparison of the simulation results between the developed numerical model and Photopia 2.0 to verify the accuracy of the numerical model. In addition, this study showed a method for the control of various luminous intensity distribution from the developed numerical model.

A numerical simulation of a 2-dimensional tidal flow in a shallow sea was performed using the frequency domain finite element method. In this study, to overcome the inherent problems of a time domain model which requires high eddy viscosity and small time steps to insure numerical stability, the harmonic function incorporated with the linearized function of governing equations was applied. Calculations were carried out using the developed tidal model(TIDE) in a rectangular channel of lOm(depth) X 4km (width) X 25km(length) under the condition of tidal waves entering the channel closed at one end for both with and without bottom friction damping. The predicted velocities and water levels at different points of the channel were in close agreement with less than 1 % error between the numerical and analytical solutions. The results showed that the characteristics of the tidal flow were greatly affected by the magnitude of tidal elevation forcing, and not by on surface friction, wind, or the linear bottom friction when the value was less than 0.01. For the optimum size of grid to obtain a consistent solution, the ratio between the length of the maximum grid and the tidal wave length should be less than 0.0018. It was concluded that the finite element tidal model(TIDE) developed in this study could handle the numerical simulation of tidal flows for more complex geometrical conditions.

The article presents the vibration and acoustic responses of un-baffled doubly curved laminated composite panel structure under the excitation of a harmonic point load. The structural responses are obtained using a simulation model via ANSYS including the effect various geometries (cylindrical, elliptical, spherical and hyperboloid). Initially, the model has been established by solving adequate number of available examples to show the convergence and comparison behaviour of the natural frequencies. Further, the acoustic responses are obtained using an indirect boundary element approach for the coupled fluid-structure analysis in LMS Virtual.lab by importing the natural frequency values. Subsequently, the values for the sound power level are computed using the present numerical model and compared with that of the available published results and in-house experimentally obtained data. Further, the acoustic responses (mean-square velocity, radiation efficiency and sound power level) of the doubly curved layered structures are evaluated using the current simulation model via several numerical experimentations for different structural parameters and corresponding discussions are provided in detail.

A computational study to capture the flow around a floor mounted greenhouse shaped HAWT model was performed using the commercial software PowerFLOW 4.2b. The simulation kernel of this software is based on the numerical scheme known as the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), combined with an RNG turbulence model. Simulations were performed at 60 and 140 km/h free stream air speeds. Selective results from these computational simulations are presented to show the capability of this numerical approach to predict the aerodynamics and aeroacoustics characteristics of the 3-D flow field around the HAWT model.

In the coastal region air flow changes due to the abrupt change of surface temperature between land and sea. So a numerical simulation for atmospheric flow fields must be considered the correct fields of sea surface temperature(SST). In this study, we used variables such as latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, short and long wave radiation of ocean and atmosphere which exchanged across the sea surface between atmosphere and ocean model. We found that this consideration simulated the more precise SST fields by comparing with those of the observated results. Simulated horizontal SST differences in season were 2.5~4$^{\circ}C$. Therefore we simulated the more precise atmospheric flow fields and the movement and dispersion of the pollutants with the Lagrangian particle dispersion model. In the daytime dispersion pattern of the pollutants emitted from ship sources moved toward inland, in the night time moved toward sea by land/sea breeze criculation. But air pollutants dispersion can be affected by inland topography, especially Yangsan and coastal area because of nocturnal wind speed decrease.
