최근 수행된 일련의 실험들을 통하여 핵연료 집합체 지지격자(Spacer Grid)의 존재가 냉각재상실사고시에 핵연료봉으로부터의 열제거에 긍정적인 효과를 미치고 있음이 밟혀졌다. 그 이유는 열원이 없는 지지격자가 연료봉보다 먼저 ？칭이 일어나며 물방울이 지지격자에 부딪쳐서 잘게 부수어져 증발이 쉽게 일어나게 되고 또한 난류효과를 증대시키는 요인이 되기 때문이다. 따라서 냉각재상실사고의 진행 과정에서 첨두피복관온도가 발생하는 재관수 구간의 수면 위쪽에서 유지되는 DFFB에서의 정확한 열전달을 계산하기 위해서는 이들의 고려가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 DFFB에서 지지격자의 존재로 인해 물방울이 잘게 부수어져 증발이 쉽게 이루어지도록 하는 Droplet Breakup Model을 냉각재상실사고 최적해석 코드인 RELAP5/MOD2에 삽입하였다. 재관수 구간에서 지지격자의 영향을 체계적으로 조사한 FEBA실험에 대해서 검증계산을 수행하여 실험자료와 비교하였다.

동해에서의 해양-대기 열교환량을 1961년부터 1990년까지의 선상관측자료와 1976 년부터 1985년까지의 일본기상처 부표자료를 이용하여 구하였다. 그리고 이 결과와 해 양상층부 200m 내의 열용량의 계절변화로부터 해양내부의 열유동량을 계산하였다. 겨 울에는 유입되는 단과복사량과 방출되는 장파오복사량의 크기가 비슷해 복사에 의한 열방출량은 적지만 열속과 자멸속이 강하여 전 해역에서 대기로 많은 열량을 방출한 다. 유효열방출량의 공간적인 변화폭은 100 Wm/SUP -2/이상이며, 최대의 열방출량은 쓰가루해협 부근에서 일어나고 대한해협과 울릉분지역등 남부역이 높은 방출량이 나타 난다. 특히 남서 해역의 강한 열방출이 겨울에 동해 중층균실수의 형성에 영향을 주는 것으로 보인다. 여름에는 강한 태양복사와 낮은 난류속의 영향으로 전해역에서 120~ 140 Wm/SUP -2/의 비슷한 크기로 해양이 가열된다. 해양내부의 열유동은 일본연안에서 양의 값을 나타내 여름의 강한 대마난류에 의한 열량의 유입을 보이며, 그 크기는 해 면을 통해 흡수한 열량보다 커서 여름에는 대마난류에 의한 열유입이 중요함을 보여준 다. 한국연안에서는 음의 값으로 수온이 낮은 북한 한류계수의 남하를 나타낸다. 봄과 가을은 3월과 100월에 각각 최소, 최대를 나타낸다. 유효열교환량의 연변화폭은 남서 해역의 경우 약 580 Wm/SUP -2/이다. 해표면을 통한 연평균 유효열교환량은 모든 해역 에서 음의 값으로 대기중으로 열량을 방출하며, 그 크기는 쓰가루해협부근에서 -130 Wm/SUP -2/로 강하고 대한해협과 울릉분지역에서도 이웃하는 해역보다 많은 열량을 방 출한다. 위도 35$^{\circ}$~39$^{\circ}$N 사이에서의 공간적인 연평균값의 크기는 단파복사량, 자멸 속, 장파복사, 열속의 크기로 각각 129, -90, -58, -32Wm/SUP -2/으로 유효열교환량은 -51W/SUP -2이다.

핵폐기물 저장공간과 같이 대규모 터널형 지하공간내에서의 환기량, 온/습도, 오염물질 농도 예측은 공간건설 및 운영을 위하여서 뿐만 아니라 화재등과 같은 비상시의 대처방안 강구를 위하여 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 압축성 가정하에서 autocompression의 영향을 고려한 자연환기압 계산 fan 및 regulator의 최적 위치 및 용량 결정, 암반 열물성 및 암반 표면으로부터의 증발, 응축에 의한 수분함유량 변화를 고려한 온/습도 계산, 이류확산에 기초한 오염물질 농도 분포 계산 기능을 갖춘 네트워크형 지하공간 환경예측 모델을 개발하였다. 온/습도 예측 모델을 군수물자 지하 저장공간에 적용한 결과 실측값과 상대오차는 건구온도 1.5~2.9%, 습도온도 0.6~6.1%로 나타났다. 도로터널 2개소를 대상으로한 실험결과 외부 입기만에 의한 확산계수는 9.78과 17.35$m^2$/s 큰 편이었으나 차량 운행과 환기설비의 작동시에는 이류확산만을 고려한 경우 CO 및 매연 농도의 상대오차가 5.88과 6.62%로 비교적 작게 나타났다. 이는 대부분의 터널형 지하공간에서의 농도 분포는 이류확산만에 의하여 추정이 가능함을 의미한다.

본 연구는 전산유체역학 기법을 이용하여 수소 생산 플랜트의 개질 튜브 공정가스와 버너 가스 온도에 따른 화학반응과 열변형 특성을 분석한다. 개질로 내부의 온도는 약 800 K 내지 1000 K 이상으로 고온으로 유지되기 때문에 튜브의 열변형 문제가 심각하게 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 개질로의 구조건전성을 평가하고 안정된 생산력을 가진 장비를 운영하기 위해서 반응과 열변형 특성에 대한 이해는 필수적이다. 본 연구는 상용 전산해석 코드(ANSYS Fluent/Mechanical V.13.0)를 사용하여, 대류, 전도 및 복사 열전달을 포함한 복합 열전달과 난류유동을 3차원적으로 해석하였다. 특히, 열유동 특성에 따른 연성해석(Fluid-Solid Interaction: FSI)를 수행하였으며 고온 버너가스와 공정가스 운전조건에 따른 반응 특성과 열변형 변화를 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과, 개질 공정가스와 버너 가스의 주입온도가 각각 200 K 감소하면, 수소생성량은 최대 약 4 배, 최소 약 2 배 감소한다. 또한, 공정가스와 버너 가스의 주입온도에 따라 열변형은 최대 약 20%, 최소 약 15% 감소한다.

The researches of a two-phase atomizers have been carried out in the field of automotive and aerospace industries in order to improve the atomization performance of the liquid droplets ejecting from these nozzles. The smaller droplets have the advantages of the reduction of environmental pollution matter and effective use of energy through the improvement of heat and mass transfer efficiency. Thus, to propose the basic information of two-phase flow, an internal mixing atomizer was designed, its shape factor was 0.6 and the liquid feeding hole was positioned at the center of the mixing tube which was used to mix the air and liquid. The experimental work was performed in the field after the nozzle exit orifice. The measurement of the liquid droplets was made by PDPA system. This system can measure the velocity and size of the droplets simultaneously. The number of the droplets used in this calculation was set to 10,000. The flow patterns were regulated by ALR (Air to Liquid mass Ratio). ALR was varied from 0.1024 to 0.3238 depending on the mass flow rate of the air. The analysis of sampling data was mainly focused on the spray characteristics such as flow characteristics distributions, half-width of spray, RMS, and turbulent kinetic energy with ALR.

A record-breaking high surface air temperature of 41.0℃ was observed on 1 August 2018 at Hongcheon, South Korea. In this study, to quantitatively determine the formation mechanism of this extremely high surface air temperature, particularly considering the contributions of the foehn and the foehnlike wind, observational data from Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model were utilized. In the backward trajectory analysis, trajectories of 100 air parcels were released from the surface over Hongcheon at 1600 LST on 1 August 2018. Among them, the 47 trajectories (38 trajectories) are tracked back above (below) heights of 1.4 km above mean sea level at 0900 LST 31 July 2018 and are defined as upper (lower) routes. Lagrangian energy budget analysis shows that for the upper routes, adiabatic heating (11.886 × 10³ J kg^-1) accounts for about 77% of the increase in the thermal energy transfer to the air parcels, while the rest (23%) is diabatic heating (3.650 × 10³ J kg^-1). On the other hand, for the lower routes, adiabatic heating (6.111 × 10³ J kg^-1) accounts for about 49% of the increase, the rest (51%) being diabatic heating (6.295 × 10³ J kg^-1). Even though the contribution of the diabatic heating to the increase in the air temperature rather varies according to the routes, the contribution of the diabatic heating should be considered. The diabatic heating is caused by direct heating associated with surface sensible heat flux and heating associated with the turbulent mixing. This mechanism is the Type 4 foehn described in Takane and Kusaka (2011). It is concluded that Type 4 foehn wind occurs and plays an important role in the extreme event on 1 August 2018.

Oxy-gasification or oxygen-blown gasification, enables a clean and efficient use of coal and opens a promising way to CO2 capture. The coal gasification process of a slurry feed type, entrained-flow coal gasifier was numerically predicted in this paper. The purposes of this study are to develop an evaluation technique for design and performance optimization of coal gasifiers using a numerical simulation technique, and to confirm the validity of the model. By dividing the complicated coal gasification process into several simplified stages such as slurry evaporation, coal devolatilization, mixture fraction model and two-phase reactions coupled with turbulent flow and two-phase heat transfer, a comprehensive numerical model was constructed to simulate the coal gasification process. The influence of turbulence on the gas properties was taken into account by the PDF (Probability Density Function) model. A numerical simulation with the coal gasification model is performed on the Conoco-Philips type gasifier for IGCC plant. Gas temperature distribution and product gas composition are also presented. Numerical computations were performed to assess the effect of variation in oxygen to coal ratio and steam to coal ratio on reactive flow field. The concentration of major products, CO and H2 were calculated with varying oxygen to coal ratio (0.2-1.5) and steam to coal ratio(0.3-0.7). To verify the validity of predictions, predicted values of CO and H2 concentrations at the exit of the gasifier were compared with previous work of the same geometry and operating points. Predictions showed that the CO and H2 concentration increased gradually to its maximum value with increasing oxygen-coal and hydrogen-coal ratio and decreased. When the oxygen-coal ratio was between 0.8 and 1.2, and the steam-coal ratio was between 0.4 and 0.5, high values of CO and H2 were obtained. This study also deals with the comparison of CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) and STATNJAN results which consider the objective gasifier as chemical equilibrium to know the effect of flow on objective gasifier compared to equilibrium. This study makes objective gasifier divided into a few ranges to study the evolution of the gasification locally. By this method, we can find that there are characteristics in the each scope divided.

Hybrid rockets have lately attracted attention as a strong candidate of small, low cost, safe and reliable launch vehicles. A significant topic is that the first commercially sponsored space ship, SpaceShipOne vehicle chose a hybrid rocket. The main factors for the choice were safety of operation, system cost, quick turnaround, and thrust termination. In Japan, five universities including Hokkaido University and three private companies organized "Hybrid Rocket Research Group" from 1998 to 2002. Their main purpose was to downsize the cost and scale of rocket experiments. In 2002, UNISEC (University Space Engineering Consortium) and HASTIC (Hokkaido Aerospace Science and Technology Incubation Center) took over the educational and R&D rocket activities respectively and the research group dissolved. In 2008, JAXA/ISAS and eleven universities formed "Hybrid Rocket Research Working Group" as a subcommittee of the Steering Committee for Space Engineering in ISAS. Their goal is to demonstrate technical feasibility of lowcost and high frequency launches of nano/micro satellites into sun-synchronous orbits. Hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants. Usually the fuel is in a solid phase. A serious problem of hybrid rockets is the low regression rate of the solid fuel. In single port hybrids the low regression rate below 1 mm/s causes large L/D exceeding a hundred and small fuel loading ratio falling below 0.3. Multi-port hybrids are a typical solution to solve this problem. However, this solution is not the mainstream in Japan. Another approach is to use high regression rate fuels. For example, a fuel regression rate of 4 mm/s decreases L/D to around 10 and increases the loading ratio to around 0.75. Liquefying fuels such as paraffins are strong candidates for high regression fuels and subject of active research in Japan too. Nakagawa et al. in Tokai University employed EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) to modify viscosity of paraffin based fuels and investigated the effect of viscosity on regression rates. Wada et al. in Akita University employed LTP (Low melting ThermoPlastic) as another candidate of liquefying fuels and demonstrated high regression rates comparable to paraffin fuels. Hori et al. in JAXA/ISAS employed glycidylazide-poly(ethylene glycol) (GAP-PEG) copolymers as high regression rate fuels and modified the combustion characteristics by changing the PEG mixing ratio. Regression rate improvement by changing internal ballistics is another stream of research. The author proposed a new fuel configuration named "CAMUI" in 1998. CAMUI comes from an abbreviation of "cascaded multistage impinging-jet" meaning the distinctive flow field. A CAMUI type fuel grain consists of several cylindrical fuel blocks with two ports in axial direction. The port alignment shifts 90 degrees with each other to make jets out of ports impinge on the upstream end face of the downstream fuel block, resulting in intense heat transfer to the fuel. Yuasa et al. in Tokyo Metropolitan University employed swirling injection method and improved regression rates more than three times higher. However, regression rate distribution along the axis is not uniform due to the decay of the swirl strength. Aso et al. in Kyushu University employed multi-swirl injection to solve this problem. Combinations of swirling injection and paraffin based fuel have been tried and some results show very high regression rates exceeding ten times of conventional one. High fuel regression rates by new fuel, new internal ballistics, or combination of them require faster fuel-oxidizer mixing to maintain combustion efficiency. Nakagawa et al. succeeded to improve combustion efficiency of a paraffin-based fuel from 77% to 96% by a baffle plate. Another effective approach some researchers are trying is to use an aft-chamber to increase residence time. Better understanding of the new flow fields is necessary to reveal basic mechanisms of regression enhancement. Yuasa et al. visualized the combustion field in a swirling injection type motor. Nakagawa et al. observed boundary layer combustion of wax-based fuels. To understand detailed flow structures in swirling flow type hybrids, Sawada et al. (Tohoku Univ.), Teramoto et al. (Univ. of Tokyo), Shimada et al. (ISAS), and Tsuboi et al. (Kyushu Inst. Tech.) are trying to simulate the flow field numerically. Main challenges are turbulent reaction, stiffness due to low Mach number flow, fuel regression model, and other non-steady phenomena. Oshima et al. in Hokkaido University simulated CAMUI type flow fields and discussed correspondence relation between regression distribution of a burning surface and the vortex structure over the surface.
