Recently, severe wear on the shutdown rod cladding of Ulchin Nuclear Power Plant #1, #2 were observed by the Eddy Current Test(E.C.T.). In particular, the wear at the sixth card location was up to 75%. The test results indicated that the Flow Induced Vibration(F.I.V.) might be the cause of the fretting wear resulting from the contact between Rod Cluster Control Assemblies(RCCAs) and their spacing cards(guide plates) arranged in the guide tube. From reviewing RCCAs fretting wear repots and analyzing the general characteristics of F.I.V. mechanism in the reactor, geometric layout and flow conditions around the control rod, it is concluded that the turbulence excitation is the most probable vibration mechanism of RCCA. To identify the governing mechanism of RCCA vibration, an experiment was performed for a representative rod position in which the most serious fretting wear experienced among the six rod positions. The experimental rig was designed and set up to satisfy the governing nondimensional numbers which are Reynolds number and mass damping parameter. The vibration amplitude measurement by the non-contact laser displacement sensor showed good agreements in the frequency and the maximum wearing(vibration) location with Ulchin E.C.T. results and Framatome report, respectively. The sudden increase in the vibration amplitude was sensed around the 6th guide plate with mass flow rate variation. Comparing the similitude rod behaviour with the idealized response of a cylinder in flow induced vibration, it was found that he dominant mechanism of vibration was transferred from turbulence excitation to periodic shedding at the mass flow ate 90ι/min. Also the critical velocity of the vibration in RCCAs was determined and the vibration can be prevented by reducing the bypass flow rate below the critical velocity.

In this study, we investigate the plugging effect on the CE type steam generator tube. The natural frequency and mode shape will be changed due to decrease of the effective mass distribution along the tube. We compared the variation of stability ratio for plugged tube with that for unplugged one. The natural frequency increased because of removing the cooling water inside the steam generator tube, but the stability ratio decreased inversely because of changing the vibrational model shape. We also investigated the turbulent excitation effect.

The stability ratio and vibrational amplitude of each tube inside a steam generator have different values. We estimate the characteristics of flow-induced vibration for CE type steam generator with various column and row number of the tube. To obtain the thermal-hydraulic data and stability ratio we use the ATHOS3-MODI and PIAT-FEI/TE code respectively. It turns out that the steam generator has a bounded central zone with the distributed values of the stability ratio and the vibrational amplitude, and those values across the zone boundary become decreased.

The present work investigates the effect on the flow-induced vibrations of the lay-up sequence of composite laminated axisymmetric structures, using an hybrid approach based on a wave finite element and a transfer matrix method. The structural vibrations, under deterministic distributed pressure loads, diffuse acoustic field and turbulent boundary layer excitations, are analysed and compared. A multi-scale approach is used for the dynamic analysis of finite structures, using an elementary periodic subsystem. Different flow regimes and shell curvatures are analysed and the computational efficiency is also discussed.

In this paper the capacity of Covariance Proper Transformation (CPT) analyses to provide information about the wind loading mechanisms of bluff bodies is investigated through the application to square cylinders. CPT is applied to the fluctuating pressure distributions on a single cylinder, as well as on a pair of cylinders in the tandem and side by side arrangements, with different separations. Both smooth and turbulent flow conditions are considered. First, through the analysis of the contributions of each CPT mode to the total fluctuating aerodynamic forces, a correspondence between modes and aerodynamic components is sought, which is then verified through examination of the mode shapes. When a correspondence between modes and aerodynamic components is found, an attempt is made to separate the different frequency contributions to the aerodynamic forces, provided by each mode. From the analyses it emerges that (a) in most cases each mode is associated to one single force component, that (b) retaining a limited number of modes allows reproducing the aerodynamic forces with a rather good accuracy, and that (c) each mode is mainly associated with one frequency of excitation.

Calculation of wear depth with regard to the wear topology is peformed numerically Four typical wear topology, that is round, crescent, flat, and diamond types are adopted to represent the configuration of wear volume. Diamond and flat types are the most severe topology for wear depth history, whereas round and crescent types have small increasing rate of wear depth to the wear volume. Based on this study we can guess that the most severe wear phenomena happens to be upper side of U-tubes in the KSNP SG, because flat or diamond wear will be generated by the wearing motion between tubes and diagonal, vertical, horizontal strips. The misalignment of tube at the stage of manufacturing or distortion of upper structure due to the thermal expansion or vibration of upper structure such as diagonal, vertical, and horizontal strips will be one of the main causes of flat or diamond wear.

하이브리드 로켓 연소에서 발생하는 산화제 난류 유동과 연료의 기화로 인한 분출유동 사이의 상호 간섭은 매우 복잡하고 특별한 유동 간섭을 일으킨다. 이를 연구하기 위하여 연소반응을 제외하고, 산화제의 난류 유동과 연료 벽면에서의 분출 유동을 모사한 채널 유동에 대한 LES 해석을 수행하였다. 고체추진 로켓의 연소 과정에서 관찰되는 현상과 매우 흡사하게 벽면 근처에서 특정주파수로 진동하는 유동 현상이 존재한다는 것을 확인하였고, 산화제와 분출 유동의 간섭에 기인한 유동의 진동현상은 벽면 근처의 매우 얇은 영역에서만 존재하였다. 큰 길이 스케일의 유동현상을 보여주는 압력 섭동장으로부터 채널 내 주유동이 특정 주파수 특성을 갖고 하류로 진행해 가는데, 이는 산화제 유동이 분출유동과 상호작용을 하면서 발생된 전단유동의 특성을 나타낸 것이다. 그러나 하이브리드 로켓 연소실 유동의 진동 특성은 고체 추진 로켓에서 관찰되는 유동 특성과는 달리, 진동의 강도가 벽면에서 온도 구배를 변화시켜 열전달의 향상을 발생시키기에는 충분하지 못한 것으로 보인다. 그러나 벽면 근처에서 특정 주파수 특성을 갖는 유동현상이 존재한다는 사실은 비슷한 크기의 주파수를 갖는 음향 가진과 같은 외부교란이 작용한다면 공진으로 발전할 수 있는 가능성을 의미한다.

공명 주파수의 음파로 가진된 비예혼합 분류화염에서 가진 강도에 대한 영향을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 이를 위해 Mie 산란광 단면법, PLIF, PIV 등 광학적 가시화 방법이 사용되었다. 가진된 분류화염의 부상경로는 연료유량 및 가진 강도에 따라 크게 세 가지 영역으로 구분되는데, 비교적 큰 가진 강도에서 부상될 때 화염기저가 마치 난류화염처럼 부상되는 영역I과 작은 가진 강도에서 쉽게 부상되는 영역II 그리고 이 두 영역들 사이에서 부상된 화염기저가 부분 예혼합의 분젠화염과 같은 형태로 과도기적 영역이 존재함을 알았다. 본 연구에서는 영역I과 II로 구분되는 부상경로 차이에 대한 이해를 높이고자 가진 위상에 따른 노즐과 화염기저간의 유동 혼합과 속도 분포 특성을 아세톤 PLIF와 PIV 시스템을 사용하여 조사하였다.
