A theoretical analysis was conducted of convective instability driven by buoyancy forces under transient temperature fields in an annular porous medium bounded by coaxial vertical cylinders. Darcy's law and Boussinesq approximation are used to explain the characteristics of fluid motion and linear stability theory is employed to predict the onset of buoyancy-driven motion. The linear stability equations are derived in a global domain, and then cast into in a self-similar domain. Using a spectral expansion method, the stability equations are reformed as a system of ordinary differential equations and solved analytically and numerically. The critical Darcy-Rayleigh number is founded as a function of the radius ratio. Also, the onset time and corresponding wavelength are obtained for the various cases. The critical time becomes smaller with increasing the Darcy-Rayleigh number and follows the asymptotic relation derived in the infinite horizontal porous layer.

The onset of buoyancy-driven convection in an initially isothermal and quiescent horizontal fluid layer was analyzed theoretically. It is well-known that at the critical Rayleigh number $Ra_c=669$ convective motion sets in with a constant-heat-flux cooling through the upper boundary. Here, based on the momentary instability concept, the dimensionless critical time ${\tau}_m$ to mark the onset of convective motion for Ra > 669 was analyzed theoretically. The energy method under the momentary stability concept was used to find the critical conditions as a function of the Rayleigh number Ra and the Prandtl number Pr. The predicted critical conditions were compared with the previous theoretical and experimental results. The momentary stability criterion gives more reasonable wavenumber than the conventional energy method.

The CALEB10 is a multi-legged biomimetic underwater robot. In the last research, we developed a swimming pattern named ESPG (Extended Swimming Pattern Generator) by observing diving beetle's swimming actions and experimented with a positive buoyancy state in which CALEB10 floats on the water. In this paper, however, we have experimented with CALEB10 in a neutral buoyancy state where it is completely immersed in water for pitch motion control experiment. And we found that CALEB10 was unstably swimming in the pitch direction in the neutral buoyancy state and analyzed that the reason was due to the weight proportion of the legs. In this paper, we propose a pitch motion control method to mimic the pitch motion of diving beetles and to solve the problem of CALEB10 unstably swimming in the pitch direction. To control the pitch motion, we use the method of controlling additional joints while swimming with the ESPG. The method of obtaining propulsive force by the motion of the leg has a problem of giving propulsive force in the reverse direction when swimming in the surge direction, but this new control method has an advantage that a propulsive moment generated by a swimming action only on a target pitch value. To demonstrate validity this new control method, we designed a dynamics-based simulator environment. And the control performance to the target pitch value was verified through simulation and underwater experiments.

지하공간에 설치되는 구조물 중 지하수위 아래에 위치하는 부분은 상향으로 정수압인 부력이 작용하게 된다. 최근 큰 규모의 중요구조물 즉, 부력이 크게 발생하는 구조물은 공사비가 고가이나 안전율을 확실하게 증가시키는 방법인 부력저항 영구앵커를 많이 적용하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나, 부력저항 영구앵커의 저항 메커니즘 규명은 미흡한 실정이다. 특히, 시공 후 앵커의 장기거동에 대한 규명은 계측 관리의 어려움으로 이루어지지 않고 있는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 부력 저항 영구앵커의 설계 시 합리적인 구조물 거동 평가를 위하여 앵커두부에 하중계를 설치하여 앵커축력을 자동화계측 및 수동계측을 통해 시공초기부터 10년간 계측 분석하였으며, 이를 토대로 건물의 자중증가에 따른 앵커의 시공단계별 거동과 시간 경과에 따른 앵커의 장기거동(시공 후 10년 이내의 거동)을 분석하였다.

This paper focuses on the efficient arrangement plan of buoyancy modules, which plan is used to secure the safe operation and structural stability of a marine riser. The marine riser is connected between a vessel and seabed devices. The movement of the vessel and the seabed devices are affected by the motion of the riser. The riser of a deep-seabed integrated mining system exerts a strong influence on the healthy transfer of minerals. So, buoyancy modules must be equipped to compensate for the problem which is the structure stability and the dynamic motion. Installation locations and quantities of the buoyancy modules are determined by real sea experiments. But this is not easy to do because in real sea experimental conditions the cost is expensive as well as being, time-consuming and dangerous. Therefore, the locations and quantities should be determined by numerical simulation. This method is called simulation-based design. The dynamic analysis models of the riser and the buoyancy modules are built into the commercial software of DAFUL.

염전의 자동화 시스템 구성을 위해서는 증발지의 염도 및 수위 측정이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 2개의 고정된 부력체의 부력을 측정하여 함수의 염도 및 수위를 동시에 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 측정방식은 측정 장치가 함수에 잠기게 될 때 주부력체와 비교부력체의 부력을 측정하고, 두 부력의 합과 차를 통해 염도와 수위를 동시에 측정하는 것이다. 부력의 측정에 기계적인 움직임이 없어서 뻘이 포함된 염전의 환경에서 측정 오류와 유지보수가 필요성을 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 방법을 적용하여 염전의 증발지에서 원격으로 염도 및 수위를 동시에 측정할 수는 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 여러 수준의 염도를 갖는 기준함수를 사용한 측정 실험을 통하여 염도 오차 0%, 수위 오차 2mm의 결과를 얻고, 제안된 염도 및 수위 측정 장치의 유효성을 확인하였다. 개발된 염도 및 수위 측정 장치를 활용하여 자동화 시스템을 구성할 경우 노동력 절감 및 작업 환경 개선과 생산성 증진이 기대된다.

연구대상은 건축물에 지하부의 이용 극대화 목적으로 지하부의 부력에 대한 부력 저항용 앵커를 고려하였다. 그러나 투수계수가 크고 지하수 유속이 빠른 화산쇄설층에서 앵커 천공부를 통해 지하수가 급격히 유출되어 앵커체 삽입이 불가능하였다. 또한 억지로 삽입된 앵커공에서는 계속적으로 많은 양의 해수와 시멘트가 유출되었으며, 앵커의 일부는 지반에 정착이 되지 않는 현상이 발견되었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 지하수 차단방법으로 초고압 분사교반 공법을 적용하였고, 그중 단일공 차수방법을 채택하여 부력방지앵커를 설치하였다. 본 연구에서는 초고압 분사교반 공법을 이용한 단일공 차수방법을 현장에 적용하고 3회에 걸친 시험시공을 통해 본 시공 시험에 적용할 주입재를 결정하였고 투수시험, 코어채취 표준관입시험 일축압축강도시험을 통하여 차수효과 및 지반개량 정도를 확인하였다. 또한 부력방지앵커의 설치 및 인장시험을 통해 앵커의 안정성을 확보하여 화산쇄설층에서 단일 차수공법의 적용성을 검증하였다.

CE RCD (Recreational Craft Directive) is a certification for the design and construction of small vessels, including pleasure yachts, which are widely used not only in the countries within the European Union, but also in Japan and Southeast Asia. Recently, South Korean leisure craft shipyards have developed interest in exporting to foreign leisure craft markets such as Europe; however, they have encountered difficulties because of the CE RCD regulations, which are relatively complex and difficult to understand. The requirements for buoyancy and stability, which are essential properties that must be understood within the early stage of ship design, are defined based on ISO 12217. However, preparing this assessment according to ship classification regulations is an exceedingly complex task, even with knowledge of naval architecture. In this research, we have developed design support tools to systematically support assessments and preemptively define design information so that buoyancy and stability assessments based on ISO 12217 can be systematically prepared. Our research results were applied to actual examples of yacht design to confirm validity. We believe that the improved yacht design process presented in this research can act as a foundational reference for enhancing the effectiveness and systematic buoyancy and stability assessments.

Currently, potentiometric method has been employed to measure fuel amount for automobile. However, potentiometer could be malfunctioned or damaged due to the additives or dirt in fuel because a variable electric resistor is immersed in fuel. Therefore, a device employing strain sensor is designed and tested to verify the possibility as an alternative of the conventional fuel sender. Existing fuel tank has irregular cross section. Therefore, buoyancy is not increased linearly as fuel amount is increased. We design a floater that can compensate the irregular cross section of fuel tank and make buoyancy to increase linearly with increasing fuel amount. New fuel sender, comprising of strain gages on circular membrane, the above commented floater and the cover to prevent the disturbance due to sudden acceleration and deceleration, is designed and tested to replace current fuel sender. On the other hand, we are developing strain sensor that has strain gage deposited directly on the circular membrane with cantilever beam.
