Long-span suspension bridges have evolved through the years and with them, the bridge girder decks improved as well, changing their shapes from standard box-deck girders to twin box and multi-box decks sections. The aerodynamic characteristics of the new generation of twin and multiple-decks are investigated nowadays, to provide the best design wind speeds and the optimum dimensions such bridges could achieve. The multi-box Megane bridge deck is one of the new generation bridge decks, consisting of two side decks for traffic lanes and two middle decks for railways, linked between them with connecting beams. Three-dimensional CFD simulations were performed by employing the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) algorithm with a standard Smagorinsky subgrid-scale model, for $Re=9.3{\times}10^7$ and angles of attack ${\alpha}=-4^{\circ}$, $-2^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$, $2^{\circ}$ and $4^{\circ}$. Also, a wind tunnel experiment was performed for a scaled model, 1:80 of the Megane bridge deck section, for $Re=5.1{\times}10^5$ and the aerodynamic static coefficients were found to be in good agreement with the results obtained from the CFD-LES model. However the aerodynamic coefficients determined individually, from the CFD-LES model, for each of the traffic and railway decks of the Megane bridge, varied significantly, especially for the downstream traffic deck. Also the pressure distribution and the effect of the spacing between the connecting beams, on the wind speed profiles showed a slight increase in turbulence above the downstream traffic and railway decks.

A two-dimensional immiscible water meniscus deformation phenomena on a moving tip in a channel has been investigated by using lattice Boltzmann method involving two-phase model. We studied the behavior of a water meniscus between the tip and a solid surface. The contact angles of the tip and a solid surface considered are in the range from $10^{\circ}$ to $170^{\circ}$. The velocity of the tip used in the study are 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001. The shapes of tip considered are rectangular and circular. The behavior of water confined between the tip and a solid surface depends on the contact angles of the tip and a solid surface, and the tip velocity. When the tip is moving, we can observe the various behaviors of shear deformation of a water meniscus. As time goes on, the behavior of a water meniscus can be classified into three different patterns which are separated from the tip or adhered to the tip or sticked to a solid surface according to the contact angles and the tip velocity.

We investigated the effects of triterpene acids (TAs), ursolic acid (UA) and oleanolic acid (OA), on the induction of proliferation and differentiation of normal rat mammary epithelial cells (RMEC) or organoids cultured in Matrigel or primary culture system. To elucidate the effects, we tested their differentiation inducing activities with intercellular communication ability, cell cycle patterns, induction of apoptosis, and morphological differentiation in the three dimensional extracellular culture system. To study the changes of RMEC subpopulation in culture, the cultured cells were isolated, immunostained with peanut lectin (PNA) and anti-Thy-1.1 antibody and then analyzed with flow cytometry. Four different subpopulations, such as PNA and Thy-1.1 negative cells (B-), PNA positive cells (PNA+), Thy-1.1 positive cells (Thy-1.1+), PNA and Thy-1.1 positive cells (B+), were obtained and the size of each subpopulation was changed in culture with time in the presence of TAs. Intercellular communication was observed in culture for 7 days in TAs-treated cells, but not in culture for 4 days with scrape-loading dye transfer technique. $G_2$/M phase cells and the number of apoptotic population were increased in TAs-treated groups in cell cycle analyses. S phase fractions were reduced and the change of $G_1$ phase cells was not observed. The colonies with distinct multicelfular structures, such as stellate, ductal, webbed, squamous, lobulo-ductal colonies, were observed in Matrigel culture and the frequencies of each colony were changed in the presence of TAs. These results suggest that UA and OA have differentiation inducing effects on rat mammary epithelial cells in primary or in Matrigel culture.

Owing to the development of CNC machine tools and automatic programing software, the milling process with ball-end mill has become the most widely used process where three-dimensional precision machining is important. In this study, the ball-end milling process has been analyzed and a cutting force model has been developed to predict the cutting force acting on the ball-end mill on given machining conditions. The development of the model is based on the analysis of geometry of a ball-end mill an the oblique cutting process. The cutting edges of ball-end mills are considered as a series of infinitesimal elements and the geometry of the cutting edge element each cutting edge element is straight. The oblique cutting process in the small cutting edge element has been analyzed as orthogonal cutting process in the plane containing the cutting velocity vector and chip-flow vector. Hence, with the orthogonal cutting data obtained from orthogonal turning test, the cutting forces can be predicted through the model. The predicted cutting forces has shown a fairly good agreement with the test results in various plane cutting conditions.

Construction of sheet pile retaining walls in urban and coastal regions has resulted in sheet pile walls in close proximity to laterally loaded pile foundations. However, there is currently little information available in the literature to assist engineers for quantifying the response of sheet pile walls. This study provides a quantitative method for estimating sheet pile wall response due to loads imposed from a nearby laterally loaded pile. Three dimensional finite element analyses using commercial software, ABAQUS, were performed to assess the response of a sheet pile wall and nearby laterally loaded pile. The soils were modeled using Drucker-Prager constitutive model with associated flow rule, and the sheet pile wall and pile foundation were assumed to behave linear elastic. Four parameters were investigated: sheet pile wall bending stiffness, distance from the pile face to the wall, excavation depth in front of the sheet pile wall, and elastic modulus of the soil. Results from the analyses have been used to develop preliminary design charts and simple equations for estimating the maximum horizontal displacement and maximum bending moment in the sheet pile wall.

A static aeroelastic analysis for supersonic aircraft wing equipped with external store under the wing lower surface is performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational structural technology(CST) coupling methodology. Two mapping algorithms, which are the pressure mapping algorithm and the displacement mapping algorithm, are used for CFD/CST coupling. A three-dimensional unstructured Euler code and finite element analysis program are used to calculate the flow properties and the structural displacements, respectively. The coupling procedure is repeated in an iterative manner until a specified convergence criterion is satisfied. Static aeroelastic analysis for a typical supersonic flight wing is performed and final converged wing configuration is obtained after several iterations.

In geological storage of $CO_2$, the behavior of $CO_2$ is influenced by pore network of rock. In this study, the drilling cores from Pohang Basin were analyzed quantitatively using three-dimensional images acquired by X-ray micro computed tomography. The porosities of sandstone specimens around 740 m-depth (T1), 780 m-depth (T2) and 810 m-depth (T3) which were target strata were 25.22%, 23.97%, 6.28%, respectively. Equivalent diameter, volume, area, local thickness of pores inside the sandstone specimens were analyzed. As a result, the microstructural properties of T1 and T2 specimens were more suitable for geological storage of $CO_2$ than those of T3 specimens. The result of the study can be used as input data of the site for decision of injection condition, flow simulation and so on.

The present study numerically simulated the CO2 injection into the saline aquifer of CO2CRC Otway pilot project and the resulting hydrological-mechanical coupled process in the storage site by TOUGH-FLAC simulator. A three-dimensional numerical model was generated using the stochastic geological model which was established based on well log and core data. It was estimated that the CO2 injection of 30,000t over a period of 200 days increased the pressure near the injection point by 0.5 MPa at the most. The pressure increased rapidly and tended to approach a certain value at an early stage of the injection. The hydrological and mechanical behavior observed from the CO2 flow, effective stress change and stress-strength ratio revealed that the CO2 injection into the saline aquifer under the given condition would not have significant effects on the mechanical safety of the storage site and the hydrological state around the adjacent fault.

After hot rolling, a high-temperature steel plate with a temperature higher than $800^{\circ}C$ is rapidly cooled by multiple circular water jets. In this cooling process, because the temperature of the steel plate is much higher than the boiling point of the cooling water, film-boiling heat transfer occurs and a very thin steam layer forms between the plate surface and the cooling water. The steam layer acts as a thermal resistance that prevents heat transfer between the cooling water and the steel plate. In addition to the film-boiling heat transfer, complex physical phenomena such as the free-surface flow of residual water that accumulated on the material and the material's high-speed motion also occur in the cooling process. In this study, the simultaneous cooling process of the upper and lower sides of a running hot steel strip is investigated using a three-dimensional numerical model and the cooling performances and characteristics of the upper-side cooling and lower-side cooling are compared.

기후변화는 물 관리 측면에서 많은 변화를 일으키는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 주로 강우의 패턴을 변화시키며, 가용수자원의 지역적 편중을 심화시킨다. 기후변화에 적응하며 안정적이고 균등한 용수확보를 위해서는 홍수와 가뭄을 고려한 연속적인 물 순환 해석기술이 필요하다. 강우유출분석은 강우사상에 대한 수문순환과정을 통해 유출량을 산출하는 것으로, 주로 직접유출과 중간유출이 이에 해당된다. 강우발생 이후 무강우기간에 대해서는 기저시간 이후에 발생되는 유출량의 정량적 산출이 필요하다. 기저유출은 강우 발생 시점에 급격히 발생하기보다는 선행강우에 따른 유역 내 지하수위 분포와 대수층의 특성, 하천수위에 따라 다양한 패턴으로 나타나기 때문에 지하수대의 수리학적 성분들을 반영할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 강우유출모의 시 지표유출량 산정과 지하수유동해석을 통한 기저유출량 산정이 동시에 이루어져야 한다. 최근 국내외에서는 다양한 형태의 수문모형과 MODFLOW를 연계한 장기유출분석에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서 활용한 K-DRUM(K-water Distribution Runoff Model)은 K-water에서 자체 개발한 물리적 기반의 분포형 강우유출모형으로 강우유출, 유사, 기초수질항목에 대한 3차원 분석이 가능하다. 본 모형의 A층(표층)은 지표유출을 고려한 운동파법이 적용되었고, B층과 C층(중간층), D층(지하수층)은 선형저류법이 적용되었다. MODFLOW(A Modular Three-Dimensional Finite-Difference Ground Water Flow Model)는 1980년대 USGS(United State Geolog ical Survey)에서 개발된 가장 범용적으로 사용되는 지하수유동모형이며, 모듈화 된 구조를 갖고 있어 다양한 패키지 중 필요로 하는 기능을 독립적으로 모의할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 향후 기후변화에 따른 강우의 불확실성에 대비한 유역의 장기 물순환 해석을 위해 강우유출모형인 K-DRUM과 지하수유동모형인 MODFLOW를 연계하고자한다. 연계방법은 K-DRUM에서 계산된 D층으로 침루되는 양을 MODFLOW의 함양량으로 적용하고, MODFLOW에서 산출된 기저유량을 K-DRUM의 하천유출에 적용하는 것이다. 본 연구의 성과를 갈수기 유출해석에 적용하면 정확성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
