When a molten corium is relocated in a lower head of a reactor vessel, the ERVC (External Reactor Vessel Cooling) system is actuated as coolant is supplied into a reactor cavity to remove a decay heat from the molten corium during a severe accident. To achieve this severe accident mitigation strategy, the two-phase natural circulation flow in the annular gap between the external reactor vessel and the insulation should be formed sufficiently by designing the coolant inlet/outlet area and gap size adequately on the insulation device. For this reason, one-dimensional natural circulation flow tests were conducted to estimate the natural circulation flow under the ERVC condition of APR1400. The experimental facility is one-dimensional and scaled-down as the half height and 1/238 rectangular channel area of the APR1400 reactor vessel. As the water inlet area increased, the natural circulation mass flow rate asymptotically increased, that is, it converged at a specific value. And the circulation mass flow rate also increased as the outlet area, injected air flow rate, and outlet height increased. But the circulation mass flow rate was not changed along with the external water level variation if the water level was higher than the outlet height.

We analyze the characteristics of a coaxial-to-waveguide transition based on the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method with the cylindrical to rectangular cell interpolation scheme. The scheme presented in this paper is well suited for the analysis of a microwave device with a probe near waveguide discontinuity because perfect TEM mode can be generated inside the coaxial cable by using the cylindrical cell. The scattering parameters of a designed Ka-band transition are evaluated and compared with those of commercially available software, High Frequency Structure analysis Simulator (HFSS) and measured data. There exists good agreement between the measured and calculated data. In order to prove an accuracy of the interpolation scheme, a coaxial to waveguide transition with a disk-loaded probe is analyzed by the present approach and the results of this analysis are compared with measured data. Comparison shows that our results match very closely to those of measurement and other approaches. The method presented in this paper can be applied to analyze the characteristics of a probe excited cavity, coaxial waveguide T-Junctions, and so on.

근접장 마이크로파 현미경의 핵심 부품인 H-형태 소형 개구를 가진 도파관 탐침에 대해 등가회로를 표현하고 해석하였다. 파장에 비해 작은 사각형 또는 원형의 소형 개구는 유도성 성분인데, 여기에 리지 구조를 부착하는 것은 용량성 성분을 연결하여 이로 인해 투과 공진을 일으키는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이러한 해석을 입증하기 위해 리지가 있는 소형 개구에서 용량 성분에 해당되는 리지 부분을 분리하여 대략 반파장 떨어진 지점에 세워 두고 구한 등가회로적 표현에 의한 계산 결과와 전자파 해석에 의한 계산 결과와 비교하여 거의 일치된 모습을 확인하였다. 또한, 도파관 탐침을 제작하여 반사손실을 측정하고, 계산 결과의 정확성을 확인하여 이론의 타당성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a narrow resonant waveguide probe that can improve the measurement sensitivity in near-field scanning microwave microscopy. The probe consists of a metal waveguide incorporating the following two sections: a straight section at the tip of the probe whose cross-section is a double-ridged rectangle, and whose height is much smaller than the waveguide width; and a standard waveguide section. The advantage of the narrow waveguide is the same as that of the quarter-wave transformer section i.e., it achieves impedance-matching between the sample under test (SUT) and the standard waveguide. The design procedure used for the probe is presented in detail and the performance of the designed resonant probe is evaluated theoretically by using an equivalent circuit. The calculated results are compared with those obtained using the finite element method (Ansoft HFSS), and consistency between the results is demonstrated. Furthermore, the performance of the fabricated resonant probe is evaluated experimentally. At X-band frequencies, we have measured the one-dimensional scanning reflection coefficient of the SUT using the probe. The sensitivity of the proposed resonant probe is improved by more than two times as compared to a conventional waveguide cavity type probe.

A new vertical transition between a substrate integrated waveguide in a low-temperature co-fired ceramic substrate and an air-filled standard waveguide is proposed in this paper. A rectangular cavity resonator with closely spaced metallic vias is designed to connect the substrate integrated waveguide to the standard air-filled waveguide. Physical characteristics of an air-filled WR-22 to WR-22 transition are compared with those of the proposed transition. Simulation and experiment demonstrate that the proposed transition shows a -1.3 dB insertion loss and 6.2 GHz bandwidth with a 10 dB return loss for the back-to-back module. A 40 GHz low-temperature co-fired ceramic module with the proposed vertical transition is also implemented. The implemented module is very compact, measuring 57 mm ${\times}$ 28 mm ${\times}$ 3.3 mm.

A comparative study on the treatment of the turbulent heat flux with the elliptic blending second-moment closure for a natural convection flow is performed. Three cases of different treating the turbulent heat flux are considered. Those are the generalized gradient diffusion hypothesis (GGDH), the algebraic flux model (AFM) and the differential flux model (DFM). The constants in the models are adjusted with a primary emphasis placed on the accuracy of predicting the local Nusselt number. These models are implemented in a computer code specially designed for evaluation of turbulent models. Calculations are performed for a turbulent natural convection in the 1:5 rectangular cavity and the calculated results are compared with the available experimental data. The results show that the three models produce nearly the same accuracy of solutions. These results show that the GGDH, AFM and DFM models for treating the turbulent heat flux are sufficient for this simple shear flow where the shear production is dominant. It is observed that, in the weakly stratified region at the center zone of the cavity, the vertical velocity fluctuation is nearly zero in the GGDH solutions, which shows that the GGDH model may not be suitable for the strongly stratified flow. Thus, further study on the strongly stratified flow should be followed.

근접장 마이크로파 현미경에 사용되는 도파관 탐침 구조에 대해 기존의 폭이 좁은 사각형 개구를 대신하여 H-형태 개구 구조를 제안하였고, 두 구조의 성능 평가지표로서 투과 효율과 스팟 크기를 비교 분석하였다. 비교결과로 투과 효율은 비슷하였지만, 스팟 크기 면에서는 H-형태 개구 구조가 훨씬 작아서 해상도 측면에서 개선된 형태의 탐침 구조로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이런 H-형태 개구의 이점을 이용하면 광 정보 저장, 나노리소그래픽, 나노 현미경과 같은 근접장 광학 장치가 상당히 성능 개선될 것이다. 또한, 도파관 탐침에 공진기가 부착된 구조에서 투과 효율이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

Pressure Sensitive Paint(PSP)는 압력에 반응하는 도료를 뜻한다. PSP는 압력에 반응하는 대기 중의 산소량을 측정하여 전역적인 압력정보를 광학적으로 측정 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 PSP를 사용하여 제트 분사 후류의 표면압력 분포를 알아보았다. 또한 제트 분사구 5mm앞에 종횡비 1에서 4까지의 사각형 공동을 위치시켜 후류에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 제트 분사 후류의 압력 분포는 공동의 전단층의 영향으로 공동이 없을 때와 비교해서 옆으로 넓게 퍼지면서 강도는 약해지는 모습을 보였다. 또한 공동의 종횡비가 커짐에 따라서 전단층의 크기가 커지고 그 영향이 커졌다. 현재까지의 계산 결과는 압력공과 같은 불연속점에서의 압력측정 결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서는 전영역에서의 압력을 측정하여 전산해석 결과와 근접함을 증명함으로써 공동 후류에서의 유동현상을 보다 명확히 파악하였다.

This paper presents and compares three feedback control strategies for active control of noise inside a 3-D vibro-acoustic cavity. These are a) control strategy based on direct output feedback (DOFB) b) control strategy based on linear quadratic regulator (LQR) to reduce structural vibrations and c) LQR control strategy with a weighting scheme based on structural-acoustic coupling coefficients. The first two strategies are indirect control strategies in which noise reduction is achieved through active vibration control (AVC), termed as AVC-DOFB and AVC-LQR respectively. The third direct strategy is based on active structural-acoustic control (ASAC). This strategy is an LQR based optimal control strategy in which the coupling between the various structural and the acoustic modes is used to design the controller. The strategy is termed as ASAC-LQR. A numerical model of a 3-D rectangular box cavity with a flexible plate (glued with piezoelectric patches) and with other five surfaces treated rigid is developed using finite element (FE) method. A single pair of collocated piezoelectric patches is used for sensing the vibrations and applying control forces on the structure. A comparison of frequency response function (FRF) of structural nodal acceleration, acoustic nodal pressure, and piezoelectric actuation voltage is carried out. It is found that the AVC-DOFB control strategy gives equal importance to all the modes. The AVC-LQR control strategy tries to consume the control effort to damp all the structural modes. It is seen that the ASAC-LQR control strategy utilizes the control effort more intelligently by adding higher damping to those structural modes that matter more for reducing the interior noise.
