Transient operations for an integral type reactor, SMART-P, have been experimentally investigated using a thermal-hydraulic integral test facility, VISTA (Experimental Verification by Integral Simulation of Transients and Accidents), in order to verify the system design and performance of the SMART-P, a pilot plant of SMART. The VISTA facility was subjected to various accident conditions such as feedwater increase and decrease, loss of coolant flow, and control rod withdrawal accidents in order to elucidate the thermal-hydraulic responses following such accidents and finally to verify the system design of the SMARTP. Full functional control logics have been implemented in the VISTA facility in order to control the required control action for an accident simulation. As one of the sensitivity tests to verify the PRHRS performance, the effects of the initial water level in the compensation tank are experimentally investigated. When the initial water level is 16%, the water is quickly drained and nitrogen gas is then introduced into the PRHR system, resulting in deterioration of the PRHRS performance. It is thus found that nitrogen ingression should be prevented to ensure stable PRHRS operation.

JAEA started the LSTF experiments in 1985 for the fourth stage of the ROSA Program (ROSA-IV) for the LWR thermal-hydraulic safety research to identify and investigate the thermal-hydraulic phenomena and to confirm the effectiveness of ECCS during small-break LOCAs and operational transients. The LSTF experiments are underway for the ROSA-V Program and the OECD/NEA ROSA Project that intends to resolve issues in thermal-hydraulic analyses relevant to LWR safety. Six types of the LSTF experiments have been done for both the system integral and separate-effect experiments among international members from 14 countries. Results of four experiments for the ROSA Project are briefly presented with analysis by a best-estimate (BE) code and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code to illustrate the capability of the LSTF and codes to simulate the thermal-hydraulic phenomena that may appear during SBLOCAs and transients. The thermal-hydraulic phenomena dealt with are coolant mixing and temperature stratification, water hammer up to high system pressure, natural circulation under high core power condition, and non-condensable gas effect during asymmetric SG depressurization as an AM action.

The Grand-Touring is a game motion simulator that simulates the race-car driving motion with three hydraulic cylinders which connect the platform and base in parallel. Its motion control system consists of the PC-based main controller and micro-controller based sub-controller. The former one process the dynamic image of race-car in response to the driver's action and computes the reference command for each cylinder and the latter one is designed for the tracking control of hydraulic cylinder and interfacing the auxiliary signals between various sensors/actuator and main controller. In this research, we developed the sub-controller that implements the required functions of Grand-Touring and prove the overall performance with experiments.

Spool displacement of a direction control valve is the standard signal to measure the bandwidth frequency of the direction control valve. When the spool displacement signal is not available, it is suggested in this study to use the metering hydraulic line as an alternative way to measure - 90 degree phase bandwidth frequency of the hydraulic direction control valve. Dynamics of the hydraulic line is composed of inertia, capacitance, and friction effects. The effect of oil inertia is dominant in common hydraulic line dynamics and the line dynamics is close to a derivative action in a range of high frequency; such as a range of bandwidth frequency of common directional control valves. Phase difference between spool displacement and line load pressure is nearly constant as a valve close to 90 degree. If phase difference is compensated from the phase between valve input and pressure, compensated phase may be almost same as the phase of spool displacement that is a standard signal to measure phase bandwidth frequency of the directional control valve. A series of experiments were conducted to examine the possibility of using line pressure in to measure phase bandwidth frequency of a directional control valve. Phase bandwidth frequency could be measured with relatively high precision based on metering hydraulic line technique and it reveals consistent results even when valve input, oil temperature, and supply pressure change.

Due to the underground openings, the tangentially concentrated stress of the tunnel remains larger at excavation boundary and decreases toward the interior of the surrounding rock with a certain gradient. In order to study the effect of different gradient stress on rockburst, the true-triaxial gradient and hydraulic-pneumatic combined test apparatus were carried out to simulate the rockburst processes. Under the different gradient stress conditions, the rock-like specimen (gypsum) was tested independently through three principal stress directions loading--fast unloading of single surface--top gradient and hydraulic-pneumatic combined loading, which systematically analyzed the macro-mesoscopic damage phenomena, force characteristics and acoustic emission (AE) signals of the specimen during rockburst. The experimental results indicated that the rockburst test under the gradient and hydraulic-pneumatic combined loading conditions could perfectly reflect the rockburst processes and their stress characteristics; Relatively high stress loading could cause specimen failure, but could not determine its mode. The rockburst under the action of gradient stress suggested that the failure mode of specimen mainly depended on the stress gradient. When the stress gradient was lower, progressive and static spalling failure occured and the rockburst grades were relatively slight. On the other hand, shear fractures occurred in rockbursts accounted for increasingly large proportion as the stress gradient increased and the rockburst occurred more intensely and suddenly, the progressive failure process became unconspicuous, and the rockburst grades were moderate or even stronger.

최근의 이상기후로 인하여 수공구조물의 안전성이 재고되고 있으며, 이에 따라 수공구조물의 붕괴에 대한 연구가 증가하고 있다. 특히 제방 등 수공구조물의 월류로 인한 붕괴로 발생하는 홍수파 선단의 초기 이동속도는 제내지의 위험성을 예측하고, EAP(Emergency Action Plan) 등을 수립하는 기초자료가 된다. 이러한 선단홍수파의 정확한 예측을 위해 수리실험이 다수 수행되고 있으나, 많은 연구에서 초기의 홍수파 선단에서 발생하는 표면장력에 의한 축척효과(Scale effect)를 고려하지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 계면활성제(surfactant)와 영상 분석 장비를 이용한 표면장력 도출 수리실험 및 급 개폐가 가능한 수조를 이용한 홍수파 전파 실험을 통하여, 계면활성제 농도와 표면장력 관계, 표면장력과 홍수파 전파속도 관계, 표면장력과 Weber Number 관계를 도출하여, 초기 홍수파 선단에서 발생하는 표면장력에 의한 축척효과 보정계수 및 축척효과를 받지 않는 한계조건(critical condition)을 제시하였다. 연구결과 Weber Number가 약 12.2 이하일 경우 보정 계수가 필요한 것으로 나타났으며, 그 이상인 경우 축척효과를 무시할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Submarine pipelines encounter significant wave forces in shallow coastal waters due to the action of waves. In order to reduce such forces (also to protect the pipe against anchors and dropped objects) they are buried below the seabed. The wave force variation due to burial depends on the engineering characteristics of the sub soil like hydraulic conductivity and porosity, apart from the design environmental conditions. For a given wave condition, in certain type of soil, the wave force can reduce drastically with increased burial and in certain other type of soil, it may not. It is hence essential to understand how the wave forces vary in soils of different hydraulic conductivity. Based on physical model study, the wave forces on the buried pipeline model is assessed for a wide range of wave conditions, for different burial depths and for four types of cohesion-less soils, covering hydraulic conductivity in the range of 0.286 to 1.84 mm/s. It is found that for all the four soil types, the horizontal wave force reduces with increase in depth of burial, whereas the vertical force is high for half buried condition. Among the soils, well graded one is better for half buried case, since the least vertical force is experienced for this situation. It is found that uniformly graded and low hydraulic conductivity soil attracts the maximum vertical force for half buried case. A case study analysis is carried out and is reported. The results of this study are useful for submarine buried pipeline design.

충적하천에서 발생하는 하천의 침식과 퇴적은 흐름을 통해 발생하는 자연적인 현상이다. 침식 및 퇴적과 관련된 수치모형을 이용한 분석은 하천에 존재하는 보와 같은 수리구조물들의 유사이송을 연구하는데 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 다기능보들의 효과적인 운영을 위하여 낙동강수계에 위치해 있는 창녕함안보를 대상으로 하상변동을 예측하였다. 2차원 모형은 CCHE2D를 이용하여 유사이송이 지배적으로 발생하는 다기능보 상 하류 구간 12 km를 대상으로 침식과 퇴적에 대한 모의를 수행하였다. 2003년 태풍 "매미"사상을 대상으로 모형을 검 보정 하였으며, 모의결과와 관측값의 비교를 통하여 전체 모의구간에서 신뢰성 있는 결과가 도출되었다. 함안창녕보가 건설된 이후 태풍사상에 의한 하상변동은 상당히 증가하는 것으로 나타났고 하상변동은 유사의 재분배를 야기하였다. 보와 같은 수리구조물들은 하도내 흐름과 유속을 변화시키기 때문에 세굴과 퇴적 문제를 심화시켰다.
