  • Recently, the cityward tendency of the population has caused the construction of a high rise apartment increased, because it is possible for many people to dwell on a small ground area in an apartment. In the future the number of the constructed high-rise apartment units will also increase, because many people require a better environment and more improved space of their life. However, apartment buildings with many dwellers in spite of small area are exposed to great dangers, particularly fire. So the adaptable control methods of smoke which is the most dangerous to people in a fire were proposed by an analysis on some standards for the fire in this study.

  • The present study deals with numerical investigation for smoke behavior in rescue station by using the commercial CFD code (FLUENT Ver 6.3). With the use of the MVHS(Modify Volumetric Heat Source) model modified from the original VHS(Volumetric Heat Source) model, a 10 MW mode was adopted for simulation and the MVHS model can describe the generation of product and the oxygen consumption at the stoichiometric state. In addition, the present simulation includes the species conservation equations for the materialization of heat source and the estimation of smoke movement. From the results, the smoke flows are moving along the ceiling because of thermal buoyancy force and as time goes, the smoke gradually moves downward at the vicinity of the entrance. Moreover, without using ventilation, it is found that the smoke flows no longer spread across the cross-passages because the pressure in the non-accident tunnel is higher than that in the accident tunnel.

  • Aerodynamic characteristics of Coleoptera species of Epilachna quadricollis and Allomyrina dichotoma are experimentally and numerically investigated. Using digital high speed camera and smoke wire technique, we visualized the continuous wing kinematics and the flight motion of free-flying coleoptera. The experimental visualization shows that the elytra flapped concurrently with the main wing both in the downstroke and upstroke motions. The wing motion of Epilachna quadricollis was captured and analyzed frame by frame to identify the kinematics of the wings and to implement it in the movement of a model wing (thin plate) in the simulation. The two-dimensional simulation of Epilachna quadricollis hovering flight was performed by assuming the wing cross section shape as a thin plate, even though most of insect's wings are made of curved corrugated membrane. The effect of Reynolds number are investigated by the simulation. Meanwhile, in order to investigate the role and effect of elytra, the flow visualization of Allomyrina dichotoma was carried on using smoke wire visualization technique. Here, we confirmed that the vortex generated by elytra due to its movement is strongly influence the vortex dynamic generated by hind wings.

  • 본 논문은 터널에서 화재 발생 시, 시간에 따른 연기거동에 대해 실물실험과 3차원 수치해석을 수행하고 각각의 결과를 비교,검토하였다. 실물실험을 위하여 8.8 kW의 열원과 901iter/h의 연기 발생이 가능한 연기발생장치를 자체 제작하였으며, 대상터널은 길이 570m, 단면적 $64.6m^2,$ 그리고 약 $2\%$의 구배를 가지고 있다. 실험은 외풍의 영향을 줄이기 위해 터널 입,출구에 차단막을 설치하였으며 연기발생장치로부터 20m 간격의 위치에서 20초 간격으로 연기전파, 속도 그리고 온도를 측정하였다. 연기는 60초 경과 후, 연기발생장치로부터 20m 떨어진 위치에 도달하였으며 140초, 180초 및 260초 경과 후, 각각 40m, 60m 및 80m 위치에 도달하였다. 3차원 수치해석의 결과는 터널벽면을 매끈한 표면으로 처리하였을 때, $26.3\~49.5\%$정도 과대 예측하였다. 또한 터널벽면을 일정 조도를 갖는 거친 표면으로 처리한 경우는 $-2.7\~17.6\%$ 오차로 실험결과에 보다 근접하는 결과를 보였다. 따라서 터널 내 연기거동에 대한 3차원 수치해석을 수행할 때에는 벽면조도에 대한 고려가 필요하리라 판단된다.

  • This study numerically considered the characteristic of smoke movement and the effect of hot smoke gas on tunnel wall surface temperature during road tunnel fire under boundary condition of fire growth curve that is applied to fire analysis in road tunnels. The maximum heat release rate were 20 MW and 100 MW and tunnel air velocities were 2.5 m/s and velocity induced by thermal buoyancy respectively, also the cooling effect of tunnel wall was considered. As results, when tunnel air velocity was constant at 2.5 m/s during tunnel fire, due to the cooling effect of tunnel wall, the smoke layer was rapidly descent after some distance and it flowed the same patterns at the downstream. When heat release rate was 100 MW (and jet fan was not installed), the maximum temperature of tunnel wall surface has risen up to $615^{\circ}C$. The heat transfer coefficient of tunnel wall surface was varied from 13 to $23W/m^2^{\circ}C$ approximately.

  • The purposes of this study were to analyze the effect of a scaffold to help in understanding the principle of land and sea breeze through the convection current box experiment and to analyze the students' inference abilities and analogy abilities. For this purpose, the 60 elementary students who had not learned the principle of land and sea breeze were surveyed and analyzed. When using the scaffold to compare the movement of the incense smoke in the convection current box with that of the incense smoke on the outside of the convection current box, the rate of the students who correctly understood the principle of the land and sea breeze between the sea and the land was very low. The result shows that the scaffold used in this study do not help sufficiently in understanding the principle of the land and sea breeze through analogy and it is necessary to introduce a new scaffold for the elementary students to understand it.
