Laser Propulsion is a device that generates thrust using laser energy. Laser-driven In-Tube Accelerator (LITA) has been developed at Tohoku University. LITA is a laser propulsion system that accelerates an object not in an open air but in a tube. Experiments of vertical launching and pressure measurement on the tube wall were carried out and in order to observe the initial state of plasma and blast wave, the visualization experiment was carried out using the shadowgraph method. In this study, the time variation of pressure on the tube wall is numerically simulated solving Euler equation. In order to model the laser energy, heat source function added to the frozen flow Euler equation. Plasma size from the shadowgraph images was used for the initial condition of laser energy input. For verification of the modeling, these results were compared with the previous experimental and numerical results. From these verifications, an analysis of LITA performance will be investigated.

Although self-propelled artilleries are mobile equipment, they need their own covered-positions for survival against preemptive strikes. The most important military requirement is enough protective capacity against blast pressure caused by explosion. This paper aims to assess the protective capacity of the newly-placed concrete box-type artillery positions using accurate structural geometric models as well as soil-structure interaction analysis. The commercial program is used to model the structural geometry of the positions. In order to describe the correct wave propagation in the backfill along with soil-structure interaction, used parameters in shock equation of state are selected based on the related studies as well as theories and then their final results are verified with the ones calculated with empirical equations in the US Unified Facility Criteria. In sum, it could be concluded that the protective capacity of the newly-built positions satisfies the protective structural requirement.

Underground water-sealed gas storage caverns have become the primary method for strategic storage of LPG. Previous studies of excavation blasting effects on large-scale underground water-sealed gas storage caverns are rare at home and abroad. In this paper, the blasting excavation for underground water-sealed propane storage caverns in Yantai was introduced and field tests of blasting vibration were carried out. Field test data showed that the horizontal radial velocity had a major controlling effect in the blasting vibration and frequencies would not cause the vibration velocity concentration effects. In terms of the influence of blasting vibration on adjacent caverns, the dynamic finite element model in LS-DYNA soft was established, whose reliability was verified by field test data. The numerical results indicated the near-blasting side was primary zone for the structural failure and tensile failure tended to occur in the middle of the curved wall on the near-blasting side. Meanwhile, the safety criterions for adjacent caverns based on stress wave theory and according to statistic relationship between peak effective tensile stress and peak particle velocities were obtained, respectively. Finally, with Safety Regulations for Blasting in China (GB6722-2014) taken into account, a final safety criterion was proposed.

A dust explosion is a phenomenon of strong blast wave propagation involving destruction which results from dust pyrolysis and rapid oxidation in a confined space. There has been some research done to find individual explosion characteristics and common physical laws for various dust types. However, there has been insufficient number of studies related to the heat of combustion of materials and the oxygen consumption energy about materials in respect of dust explosion characteristics. The present study focuses on the relationship between dust explosion characteristics of wood dust samples and oxygen consumption energy. Since it is difficult to estimate the weight of suspended dust participating in explosions in dust explosion and mixtures are in fuel-rich conditions concentrations with equivalent ratios exceeding 1, methods for estimating explosion overpressure by applying oxygen consumption energy based on unit volume air at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature are proposed. In this study an oxygen consumption energy model for dust explosion is developed, and by applying this model to TNT equivalent model, initial explosion efficiency was calculated by comparing the results of standardized dust explosion experiments.

Structures, systems and components of nuclear power plants should be able to maintain safety even in the event of design-basis accidents such as high-energy line breaks. The high-pressure steam jet ejected from the broken pipe may cause damage to the adjacent structures. The ANSI/ANS 58.2 code has been adopted as a technical standard for evaluating the jet impingement load. Recently, the U.S. NRC pointed out the non-conservativeness of the ANSI/ANS 58.2, because it does not take into account the blast wave effect, dynamic behavior of the jet, and oversimplifies the shape and load characteristics of the supersonic steam jet. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the evaluation method for the high-energy line break accident. In order to evaluate the behavior of supersonic steam jet, an appropriate numerical analysis technique considering compressible flow effect is needed. In this study, numerical analysis methodology for evaluating supersonic jet impingement load was developed and verified. In addition, the conservativeness of the ANSI/ANS 58.2 model was investigated using the numerical analysis methodology. It is estimated that the ANSI jet model does not sufficiently reflect the physical behavior of under-expanded supersonic steam jet and evaluates the jet impingement load lower than CFD analysis result at certain positions.

본 연구에서는 증기운 폭발 시 발생하는 폭풍파의 과압을 결정하는데 사용되는 폭발 예측 모델인 TNT등가법, 다중에너지법, Baker-Strehlow-Tang(BST)법의 적용성을 평가하였다. 원룸 주택과 상가가 밀집한 지역 내에 설치된 2000 kg 용량의 프로판 저장 용기에서 누출된 프로판이 증기운 폭발을 일으키는 것을 가정하였다. TNT등 가법을 적용하여 계산한 2000 kg의 프로판과 등가인 TNT의 질량은 4061 kg인 것으로 나타났다. TNT등가법, 다중에너지법, BST법으로 구한 거리에 따른 과압의 변화 양상에 따르면 폭원으로부터 100 m 이내 지점에서는 과압의 감소가 급격하고, 대체적으로 TNT등가법과 BST법으로 구한 과압의 크기가 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 실제 증기운 폭발 사례에서 관찰된 과압과 TNT등가법, 다중에너지법, BST법을 적용하여 구한 과압을 비교한 결과 BST법이 가장 잘 맞는 것으로 나타났다. 각 폭발 예측 모델로 구한 거리에 따른 과압을 구조물 손상 기준과 비교한 결과 폭원으로부터 90 m 이내에 위치하는 구조물은 반파 이상의 피해를 볼 것으로 평가되었고, 600 m 이격된 구조물도 유리창이 파손되는 피해가 있을 것으로 예측되었다.

본 연구에서는 PFC3D를 사용한 폭원모델링 기법을 제안하고, 제안된 기법을 시멘트 모르타르와 같은 연약재료의 발파에 적용하여 그 적용성을 시험해 보았다. PFC3D는 개별요소법(DEM)을 기반으로 하고 있어 응력파의 전파와 재료의 동적 파괴현상을 모사하는데 적합한 코드로 분류된다. 폭원모델링 과정에서는 공내입자들의 반경을 팽창/수축시키는 기법을 통해 공벽입자들에 접촉력의 형태로 폭발압력을 부여하는 방법을 사용하였으며, 입력하중에 따라 공벽에서 유발되는 접촉력을 계산단계마다 측정 및 보정함으로써 폭발압력의 크기를 제어할 수 있도록 하였다. 시멘트 모르타르 블록의 발파모델링 과정에서는 기존의 외력을 이용하는 방법과 본 연구에서 제안하고 있는 접촉력을 이용하는 기법을 각기 적용함으로써 연약재료의 파괴과정을 정성적으로 비교하여 보았다. 해석결과, 제안된 폭원모델링 기법을 적용한다면 암석이나 콘크리트와 같은 공학재료들이 발파과정에서 보이는 파괴거동을 수치적으로 보다 유사하게 모사 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

수소는 다른 연료에 비해 에너지효율이 높고 유해물질이 배출되지 않아 미래의 청정에너지원으로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 수소는 밀도가 낮아 운반 및 저장시에 부피가 커서 압축하거나 특별한 운반체를 사용해야 하며, 공기중에 노출 시 화재나 폭발의 위험성이 있다. 수소-공기 혼합물의 폭발에 관한 실험이나 수치해석적 연구가 진행되어 오고 실물 수소 충전소를 대상으로 한 폭발 시뮬레이션에 관한 연구사례는 극히 드물다. 본 연구에서는 실제 수소 충전소를 대상으로 Lidar 스캐닝을 수행하여 point cloud 데이터를 획득하고 수소 충전소 3 차원 구조 모델을 작성한다. 3 차원 구조모델은 Ansys 사 AUTODYN 에 적용되어 수소 충전소의 수소폭발을 가정한 TNT 등가량의 폭발 시뮬레이션을 실시하고 주변에 전파하는 폭발압력을 계산하여, 수소 충전소 폭발에의한 주변 보안 건물의 안전거리에 관한 정보를 제공한다.
