Fast periodic pulsed reactor is a type of reactor in which the fission bursts are formed entirely with external reactivity modulation with a specified time periodicity. This type of reactors could generate much larger intensity of neutron beams for experimental use, compared with the steady state reactors. In the design of fast periodic pulsed reactors, the time dependent simulation of the power pulse is majorly based on a point kinetic model, which is known to have limitations. A more accurate calculation method is desired for the design analyses of fast periodic pulsed reactors. Monte Carlo computer code MCNP6 is used for this task due to its three dimensional transport capability with a continuous energy library. Some new routines were added to simulate the rotation of the movable reflector parts in the time dependent calculation. Fast periodic pulsed reactor IBR-2M was utilized to validate the new routines. This reactor is periodically in prompt supercritical state, which lasts for ${\sim}400{\mu}s$, during the equilibrium state. This generates long neutron fission chains, which requires tremendously large amount of computation time during Monte Carlo simulations. Russian Roulette was applied for these very long neutron chains in MCNP6 calculation, combined with other approaches to improve the efficiency of the simulations. In the power pulse of the IBR-2M at equilibrium state, there is some discrepancy between the experimental measurements and the calculated results using the point kinetics model. MCNP6 results matches better the experimental measurements, which shows the merit of using MCNP6 calculation relative to the point kinetics model.

본 논문에서는 3차원 전자파 해석 툴인 Microwave Studio(MWS)와 Matlab을 이용한 케이블 누화 시뮬레이션 방법에 대해 소개하고 이를 이용하여 항공 및 군용에 사용되는 Twisted Wire Pair(TWP)로 구성된 케이블 조립체의 누화특성을 분석한다. TWP는 한 방향으로 길게 꼬여있는 구조로 3차원 전자파 해석 툴만을 이용하여 분석 시 Mesh의 기하급수적인 증가로 인해 메모리가 많이 필요해 해석이 불가능한 경우가 발생한다. 전달행렬(Transmission Matrix)은 주기적인 구조를 해석하는데 효율적이며, 단위 구조 결과를 캐스케이딩(Cascading)하여 전체 구조의 해석을 빠른 시간에 할 수 있어 구조가 반복적인 케이블 시뮬레이션에 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 케이블 누화 시뮬레이션 방법을 이용하여 케이블 조립체를 직선구간을 포함된 TWP로 모델링 하여 누화 특성을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 가장 최근에 NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology)에서 LES(large eddy simulation)기법을 사용하여 개발한 3D 화재유동 해석용 FDS5의 중요한 기능 중 Werner-Wengle wall law의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 평행 평판에서의 유동을 조사하였다. 격자 형성을 위하여 $y^+$ 값은 11 이상으로 유지하도록 하였으며, 총 사용격자는 $32{\times}32{\times}32$를 사용하였다. 입구와 출구에서는 반복(periodic) 경계조건이 주어졌고, 양측면에서는 대칭(symmetry) 경계조건이 주어졌다. 충분히 발달된 난류에서의 유동조건을 조사하기 위하여 Re=10,700을 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션으로 구하여진 결과는 DNS(Direct Numerical Simulation) 결과 및 이론값과 비교하여 분석하였다. 또한 FDS 결과를 RANS의 난류 유동 해석 결과와도 비교하였다.

The flow past a circular cylinder forced to vibrate transversely is numerically simulated by solving the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations modified by the vibration velocity of a circular cylinder at a Reynolds number of 164. The higher-order finite difference scheme is employed for the spatial discretization along with the second order Adams-Bashforth and the first order backward-Euler time integration. The calculated cylinder vibration frequency is between 0.60 and 1.30 times of the natural vortex-shedding frequency. The calculated oscillation amplitude extends to 25% of the cylinder diameter and in the case of the lock-in region it is 60%. It is made clear that the cylinder oscillation has influence on the wake pattern, the time histories of the drag and lift forces, power spectral density and phase diagrams, etc. It is found that these results include both the periodic (lock-in) and the quasi-periodic (non-lock-in) state. The vortex shedding frequency equals the driving frequency in the lock-in region but is independent in the non-lock-in region. The mean drag and the maximum lift coefficient increase with the increase of the forcing amplitude in the lock-in state. The lock-in boundaries are also established from the present direct numerical simulation.

The flow past a circular cylinder forced to vibrate transversely is numerically simulated by solving the two-dimensional Wavier-Stokes equations modified by the vibration velocity of a circular cylinder at a Reynolds number of 164. The higher-order finite difference scheme is employed for the spatial discretization along with the second order Adams-Bashforth and the first order backward-Euler time integration. The calculated cylinder vibration frequency is between 0.60 and 1.30 times of the natural vortex-shedding frequency. The calculated oscillation amplitude extends to $25\%$ of the cylinder diameter and in the case of the lock-in region it is $60\%$. It is made clear that the cylinder oscillation has influence on the wake pattern, the time histories of the drag and lift forces, power spectral density and phase diagrams, etc. It is found that these results include both the periodic (lock-in) and the quasi-periodic (non-lock-in) state.

In the present article, we investigate numerically turbulent flow of air through compound rectangular channels. Large eddy simulation(LES) is employed for unsteady turbulence modeling. LES gives better predictions for the axial mean velocity distribution than those of other turbulent models. Strong large-scale quasi-periodic flow oscillations are observed in most of the geometries investigated. Such large-scale flow oscillations in compound rectangular channels are similar to the quasi-periodic flow pulsation through the gaps between fuel rod bundle in nuclear reactor. It exists in any longitudinal connecting gap between two flow channels. The frequency of this flow oscillation is determined by the geometry of the gap. The large scale cross motions through the rectangular compound channels induce significant heat transfer enhancement of the compound channel flow.

본 논문은 비주기 태스크에 대한 저전력 스케줄링을 달성하기 위한 새로운 동적 전압 조절(DVS) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 비주기 태스크는 주기(period)가 없고 발생시간(release time)과 최악실행시간(WCET) 예측이 불가능하기 때문에 기존의 DVS 알고리즘으로 스케줄링 할 수 없으므로 전력소모가 많이 발생하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 일정한 크기의 주기와 최악수행시간을 갖는 주기적인 가상태스크를 정의하고, 발생한 비주기 태스크를 가상태스크에 할당하여 이미 존재하는 주기 태스크들과 함에 DVS 스케줄링을 수행하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 가상태스크의 주기와 최악수행 시간은 이미 존재하는 주기태스크들과 가상태스크를 모두 포함한 태스크 활용률을 계산하여, 그 값이 1에 가장 근접하는 값으로 설정한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 기존의 주기 태스크에 대한 DVS 알고리즘보다 11%의 전력 감소 효과가 있음을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

The catenary wires are damaged by periodic running of train as well as repeated stress. The wires are also degraded by atmosphere corrosion at fields. Corrosion of wires increased surface roughness and deteriorated mechanical properties by providing fatigue crack initiation sited resulting in a bad effect on service life of the wires. Fatigue test of catenary wires performed to estimate service lifetime. Also, simulation to analyze stress on catenary wires was conducted through modelling the finite elements for dynamic behaviors of wires. Fatigue life of catenary wires was estimated with fatigue and simulation tests.

In this paper, a class of delayed epidemic model with diffusion is investigated. By analyzing the associated characteristic transcendental equation, its linear stability is investigated and Hopf bifurcation is demonstrated. Some explicit formulae determining the stability and the direction of the Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bifurcations are obtained by using the normal form theory and center manifold theory. Some numerical simulation are also carried out to support our analytical findings. Finally, biological explanations and main conclusions are given.
