  • This study proposes a numerical model which is able to simulate turbidity currents intruding into a reservoir and resulting sediment depositions. The proposed model is applied to laboratory experiments by Toniolo and Schultz (2005), and propagation of turbidity currents, morphological change, and trap of suspended sediment are simulated. It is simulated that the turbidity current after plunging at the foreset of the model delta, propagates along the bottom. The thickness of the turbidity current increases significantly after being blocked by the dam, and this effect is propagated in the upstream direction. In addition, it is simulated that the foreset moves in the downstream direction due to both the bedload and suspended load and the thickness of the bottom set increases due to the suspended load. It is found that the height of the intake affects the thickness of the turbidity current and the location of the internal hydraulic jump. The impact of the height of the intake on the trap efficiency is not clear in the experimental results, however, overall trap efficiency is predicted quite successfully by the model. Also, sensitivity analysis is carried out, and the results indicates that the particle size affects the trap efficiency most.

  • A two-step cooling technique has been developed for cryopreservation of suspension cultured Scutellaria baicalensis cells. Efficient regrowth of cryopreserved cells was obtained in cryoprotected cells with a mixture of 1.5 M glycerol and 0.4 M sucrose in Schenk and Hildebrandt medium without pretreatment in high osmotic medium. Optimum freezing conditions were found to be a cooling rate of $0.5^{\circ}C$ min from $4^{\circ}C$ to $-40^{\circ}C$, and then retaining samples at $-40^{\circ}C$ for 30 min prior to plunging into liquid nitrogen. A regrowth rate of approximately 95$%$ was obtained after three month storage in liquid nitrogen. Callus cultures established from the cryopreserved cells were found to produce the same patterns of flavonoid accumulation and retain their baicalin producing activity.

  • The failure at the head section of rubble mound breakwaters is more important than other failure modes. because this initial failures will occur the failure of the trunk section and lead to the instability of the structure. The three-dimensional failure modes are discussed using the experimental data with multi-directional waves considering the failure modes. It was occurred by the topographical characteristics around the head of rubble mound breakwater. The spacial characteristics of failure mode around the rubble-mound structures can be summarized as follows: 1) It was clarified that the failure modes at the round head of a detached breakwater are classified as failure by plunging breaker on the slope, failure by direct incident wave force and failure at the rubble mound breakwaters. 2) The failure mode was found in the lower wave height than the design wave by the breaker depth effects and topography around structures. It is clarified that the structure was monitored safely designed for the design wave but the failure was occurred by the reason of breaker waves.

  • In this work, we propose a new idea of flapping airfoil design for optimal aerodynamic performance from detailed computational investigations of flow physics. Generally, flapping motion which is combined with pitching and plunging motion of airfoil, leads to complex flow features such as leading edge separation and vortex street. As it is well known, the mechanism of thrust generation of flapping airfoil is based on inverse Karman-vortex street. This vortex street induces jet-like flow field at the rear region of trailing edge and then generates thrust. The leading edge separation vortex can also play an important role with its aerodynamic performances. The flapping airfoil introduces an alternative propulsive way instead of the current inefficient propulsive system such as a propeller in the low Reynolds number flow. Thrust coefficient and propulsive efficiency are the two major parameters in the design of flapping airfoil as propulsive system. Through numerous computations, we found the specific physical flow phenomenon which governed the aerodynamic characteristics in flapping airfoil. Based on this physical insight, we could come up with a new kind of airfoil of tadpole-shaped and more enhanced aerodynamic performance.

It is clarified that the structure monitored was safely designed for the design wave but the failure was occurred by the reason of breaker waves and scouring processes at the toe 3) It was observed that scouring at the toe developed in the region where steady stream due to vorticity was generated and the spatial variation of scour at the toe of the round head was predominated by incident wave direction.

  • The motion of living organisms such as birds, fishes, and insects, has been analyzed for the purpose of the design of MAV(Micro Air Vehicle) and NAV(Nano Air Vehicle). In this research, natural motion was considered to be applied to the determination of the geometry and motion of AUV(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle). The flapping motion of a number of hydrofoil shapes in AUV was studied, and at the same time, the optimization of the hydrofoil shape and flapping motion was executed that allow the highest thrust and efficiency. The harmonic motion of plunging and pitching of NACA 4 digit series models, was used for the numerical analysis. The meta model was made by using the kriging method in Optimization method and the experimental points of 49 were extracted for the OA(Orthogonal array) in DOE(Design of experiments). Parametric study using this experimental points was conducted and the results were applied to MGA(Micro Genetic Algorithm). The flow simulation model was validated to be an appropriate tool by comparing with experimental data and the optimized shape and motion of AUV was turned out to produce highest thrust and efficiency.

  • The ciculation due to bottom density current produced by a dense inflow into a small reservoir is analysed by numerical scheme. Before the front of the density current arrives at the downstream end, the mixing in the reservoir is mainly caused by the anticlockwise vortex formed at the downstream of plunging point along the movement of bottom density current. Upon the arrival of the front of the density current at the downstream end an internal surge is created through an internal hydraulic jump. With repeated propagation of the internal surge back and forth the mixing in the reservoir is progressed and the thickness of dense layer is increased upward. The dilution of the overflow at downstream end is found to depend on inflow densimetric Froude number, reservoir length and elapsed time. The time required for the overflow to attain a specified dilution increases as reservoir length increases and Fre decreases.

  • This study aims to understand the applied forces and related vibrational characteristics of a tripod joint (TJ), which is mostly used in front-drive-type middle-sized sedans in South Korea. The plunging force (PF) and generated axial force (GAF) are the most influential quantities related to the vibrational characteristics of a driveshaft. To obtain meaningful data, specially designed tests were performed using MTS test sets. The results of direct measurements reveal that higher PF and GAF values appear to worsen the vibrational characteristics of the vehicle. On the other hand, the measured apparent mass is useful for calculating the applied forces for a short driveshaft that has no dynamic vibration absorber. Among diversely controlled samples, it shows that the viscosity and tight fit are very sensitive to shudder vibrations of the vehicle. Therefore, these are good design factors for quality controls in the production line of constant-velocity joints.
