There are several types of compressors which are appropriate for hydrogen gas station. Diaphragm type of compressor is the one of them and it satisfies the requirements for that purpose in terms of maintaining gas purity and making high pressure over 700 bar. The objective of this study is to find an optimal design of oil distribution hole configuration. The number of holes is changed maintaining total cross-sectional area of holes. Five cases(1 hole, 4, 8,16 and 24 holes) were studied through Fluid Structure Interaction(FSI) analysis method. Gas and oil pressure, the deflection and stress of the diaphragm were analysed during compression and suction process respectively. There is no specific difference among the cases during compression. An additional deflection due to the existence of hole was found during suction for all case. But the highest deflection and stress were found in the 1 hole case. It was seen that 60% decrease of stress in magnitude in 24 hole case compare to the 1 hole case.

In this study, computational analyses are carried out to investigate the interference flows and the aerodynamic characteristics of a hit-to-kill intercepter due to lateral jets at medium altitude. In addition, the analyses are performed for air and multi-species gas used in the side jet. The results indicate that the position of the barrel shock are shifted upstream and the structure of the shock wave are changed for the multi-species jet when compared to the air jet. As a result, the high pressure region with multi-species jet moves forward and the pitching moment is higher under the same flow condition. Moreover, the inclusion of high temperature effects makes drastic changes in pressure distribution. The jet width is much bigger, and the jet diffuses over wider range in medium altitude than in low altitude, because of the low density of the freestream.

The temporal evolution of wake behind a circular cylinder oscillating rotationally with a relatively high forcing frequency has been investigated experimentally using a dynamic PIV technique. Experiments were carried out with varying the frequency ratio $F_R\;(=f_f/f_n)$ in the range from 0.0 (stationary) to 1.6 at oscillation amplitude of ${\theta}_A=30^{\circ}$ and Reynolds number of $Re=4.14{\times}10^3$. Depending on the forcing condition ($F_R$), the flow was divided into three regimes; non-lock-on ($F_R=0.4$), transition ($F_R=0.8$, 1.6) and lock-on regimes ($F_R=1.0$) with markedly different flow structure in the near-wake region behind the cylinder. When the frequency ratio was less than 1.0 ($F_R{\le}1.0$), the rotational oscillatory motion of the cylinder decreased the length of the vortex formation region and enhanced the mutual interaction between large-scale vortices across the wake centerline. The entrainment of ambient fluid seemed to play an important role in controlling the near-wake flow and shear-layer instability. However, the flow characteristics changed markedly beyond the lock-on flow regime ($F_R=1.0$) due to high-frequency forcing. At $F_R=1.6$, the mutual interactions between the vortices shed from both sides of the cylinder were not so strong. Thereby, the flow entrainment and momentum transfer into the wake center region were reduced. In addition, the size of the large-scale vortices decreased since the lateral extent of the wake was suppressed.

The purpose is to evaluate the structural characteristics of 750 mm diameter injection spiral blades under various operating conditions. A fiber-glass reinforced polypropylene material was employed to the injection blades, and mechanical tests on two kinds of glass-reinforced polypropylene were performed to evaluate the mechanical properties and to select a suitable candidate material. Also, three kinds of spiral blade geometries were studied to observe the influence of fixing rods between blades. For this, structural analyses were conducted to understand the role of fixing rods under a range of rotating speed. In addition, modal analysis was performed to confirm the resonance in the operating speed range. One-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis was carried out to know its mechanical integrity under dangerous wind speed conditions. Through this work, the structural characteristics of the proposed spiral blade geometries were studied under various operating conditions, and the requirements of mechanical properties of blades were determined.

In order to dispose radioactive wastes safely, it is needed to understand the mechanical, thermal, fluid behavior of rockmass and physico-chemical interactions between rockmass and water. Also, the knowledge about mechanical and hydraulic properties of rocks is required to predict and to model many conditions of geological structure, underground in-situ stress, folding, hot water interaction, intrusion of magma, plate tectonics etc. This study is based on researches about rock mechanics issues associated with a waste disposal in deep rockmass. This paper includes the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of rocks in varying temperature conditions, thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling analysis in rock mass and deformation behavior of discontinuous rocks. The mechanical properties were measured with Interaken rock mechanics testing systems and hydraulic properties were measured with transient pulse permeability measuring systems. In all results, rock properties were sensitive to temperature variation.

Vertical axis wind energy systems including 3 and 4 blades are numerically investigated in a two-dimensional (2D) computational domain. The power coefficient (C_p) is adopted to measure the efficiency of the system and the effect of the rotating velocity on the power coefficient is analyzed for the two different systems. The rotating velocity varies from 30 rad/s to 90 rad/s, which corresponds to the tip speed ratio (T.S.R) of 0.5 to 1.5. The torque exerted on the blades is mainly determined by the aerodynamic force in the x-direction and maximized when the blade is positioned at around θ = 186°. The efficiency of the 4-blade system is higher than that of the 3-blade system within the tip speed ratio range between 0.5 and 0.67, besides where the 3-blade system shows a better performance. For the 3-blade system, the maximum efficiency is reached to 0.082 at the tip speed ratio of 1.083. The maximum efficiency of the 4-blade system is 0.071 at T.S.R. = 0.92. The velocity fields in the x-direction, pressure fields, and the vorticity magnitude are analyzed in detail for the optimal cases of the 3- and 4-blades systems, respectively.

A sediment transport calculation considering cohesive force is proposed to deal with the transport phenomena of cohesive sediment. In the proposed calculation, each sand particle is assumed to be surrounded by a thin layer of mud. The critical Shields parameter and bed-load sediment transport rate are modified to include the cohesive force acting on the sand particle. The proposed calculation is incorporated into a two-way coupled fluid-structure-sediment interaction model, and applied to wave-induced topographic change of artificial shallows. Numerical results show that an increase in the content ratio of the mud, cohesive resistance force per unit surface area and water content cause increases in the critical Shields parameter and decreases in the bed-load sediment transport rate, reducing the topographic change of the shallow without changing its trend. This suggests that mixing mud in the pores of the sand particles can reduce the topographic change of shallows.

To ensure the structural integrity of membrane type LNG tank, the rational assessment of impact pressure and structural responses due to sloshing should be preceded. The sloshing impact pressures acting on the insulation system of LNG tank are typical irregular loads and the structural responses caused by them also very complex behaviors including fluid structure interaction. So it is not easy to estimate them accurately and huge time consuming process would be necessary. In this research, a simplified method to analyze the dynamic structural responses of LNG tank insulation system under pressure time histories obtained by sloshing model test or numerical analysis was proposed. This technique basically based on the concept of linear combination of the triangular response functions which are obtained by the transient response analysis under the unit triangular impact pressure acting on structures in time domain. The validity of suggested method was verified through the example calculations and applied to the structural analysis of real Mark III type insulation system using the sloshing impact pressure time histories obtained by model test.

The specific some types of compressors are appropriate for a use in hydrogen gas station. Metal diaphragm type of hydrogen compressor is one of them, which can satisfy the critical requirements of maintaining gas purity and producing high pressure over 850 bar. The objective of this study is to investigate an characteristics of compression through two-way Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI) analysis as bulk modulus and initial volume of oil independently varies. Deflection of diaphragm, oil density, gas and oil pressure were analyzed during a certain period of compression process. According to the analysis results, bulk modulus and initial volume remarkably affected deflection of diaphragm, oil density, gas and oil pressure. The highest gas pressure were attained with the highest bulk modulus of $7e^9\;N/m^2$ and the lowest initial oil volume of 80 cc.

Anemometer is a meteorological instrument that measures wind direction and wind speed in real time, and is mounted to the cranes that are used at ports, shipbuilding yards, off-shore structure, or construction sites that are influenced by wind, and it is used in conjunction with the safety system. Load cell-type anemometer measures the wind direction through the ratio of load between 4 positions by mounting the thin plate to 4 load cells, and measures wind velocity through the summation of loads. In this study, we compared and analyzed the results in the theoretic approach, analytic approach and experimental approach to derive the correlation between load ratio and wind direction. Wind direction was selected as the design variable, and selected 9 wind direction conditions from $0^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$ with $11.25^{\circ}$ space for analysis, and 10 wind direction conditions with $10^{\circ}$ space for experiment.
