A performance test facility for turbopump inducer cavitation was developed and the inducer cavitation performance tests were performed. Major components of the performance test facility are driving unit, test section, piping, water tank, and data acquisition and control system. The maximum of testing capability of this facility are as follows: flow rate - 30kg/s; pressure - 13 bar; rotational speed 10,000rpm. This cavitation test facility is characterized by the booster pump installed at the outlet of the pump that extends the flow rate range, and by the pressure control system that makes the line pressure down to vapor pressure. The vacuum pump is used for removing the dissolved air in the water as well as the line pressure. Performance tests were carried out and preliminary data of test model inducer were obtained. The cavitation performance test and cavitation bubble flow visualization were also made. This facility is originally designed for turbopump inducer performance test and cavitation test. However it can be applied to the pump impeller performance test in the future with little modification.

A low NPSH and high pressure fuel pump has been designed for a turbopump system. The fuel pump has an axial inducer and a centrifugal impeller. A meanline method has been established for the preliminary design and performance prediction of pumps at design or off-design points. KeRC(Kelyish Research Center) carried out a model testing of the fuel pump with water as a working fluid at the reduced speed. Predicted performances by the method are shown to be in good agreement with experimental results for cavitating and non-cavitating conditions. The established meanline method can be used for the performance prediction and preliminary design of high speed pumps which have a inducer, impeller and volute. In the current study, the three dimensional viscous flow in the fuel pump was investigated through numerical computation. A modified design of the fuel pump was generated to improve pump performance by utilizing CFD results. The modified fuel pump was experimentally tested by ROTEM and KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute). The measured non-cavitating and cavitating performance showed a good agreement with designed performance.

Regarding the high significance of correct pan evaporation modeling, this study introduces two novel neuro-metaheuristic approaches to improve the accuracy of prediction for this parameter. Vortex search algorithms (VSA), sunflower optimization (SFO), and stochastic fractal search (SFS) are integrated with a multilayer perceptron neural network to create the VSA-MLPNN, SFO-MLPNN, and SFS-MLPNN hybrids. The climate data of Arcata-Eureka station (operated by the US environmental protection agency) belonging to the years 1986-1989 and the year 1990 are used for training and testing the models, respectively. Trying different configurations revealed that the best performance of the VSA, SFO, and SFS is obtained for the population size of 400, 300, and 100, respectively. The results were compared with a conventionally trained MLPNN to examine the effect of the metaheuristic algorithms. Overall, all four models presented a very reliable simulation. However, the SFS-MLPNN (mean absolute error, MAE = 0.0997 and Pearson correlation coefficient, R_P = 0.9957) was the most accurate model, followed by the VSA-MLPNN (MAE = 0.1058 and R_P = 0.9945), conventional MLPNN (MAE = 0.1062 and R_P = 0.9944), and SFO-MLPNN (MAE = 0.1305 and R_P = 0.9914). The findings indicated that employing the VSA and SFS results in improving the accuracy of the neural network in the prediction of pan evaporation. Hence, the suggested models are recommended for future practical applications.

기후변화로 인해 파랑에 의한 해안의 피해는 전세계적으로 점차 증가하고 있으며, 이에 대응하기 위한 새로운 방재구조물의 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 고파랑에 대응하기 위해 한국에서는 방파제에 콘크리트 케이슨을 사용하는 경우가 많아지고 있으나, 고비용과 많은 요구조건으로 인해 소파블록의 필요성도 증가하고 있다. 1950년 Tetrapod 개발 이후 해외뿐만 아니라 국내에서도 많은 형태의 소파블록들이 개발되었으나, 체계적으로 개발되지 못해 소수의 소파블록만이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 소파블록은 많은 장점에도 불구하고, 8 m 이상의 고파랑에 적용하기 어려운 문제점을 가지고 있다. 새로운 소파블록은 최근의 개발방향에 맞추어진 설계지침에 따라 개발되었으며, 많은 형상의 후보들이 만들어졌다. 본 논문에서는 이중 한 개 형상을 선택하여 수리모형실험을 실시하였다. 신형 소파블록은 경제성을 고려하여 1층적으로 개발되었으나, 영문자 A와 V가 겹쳐진 구조로 적층 두께는 1.5층적에 가깝다. 신형소파블록은 이런 적층 두께와 높은 설치 밀도로 인해 2층적 소파블록에 비해 조금 높은 월파량을 보여주었다. 신형소파블록은 위아래는 높은 인터락킹을 가지고 있으나, 좌우로는 약한 지지력을 가지고 있다. 수리모형실험 결과 파고 9 m에서도 안정성이 검증되었다.

흙 필터를 대신한 토목섬유의 사용량이 점차 증가하고 있다. 따라서 흙과 결합된 복합체계에 대한 메카니즘 연구가 활발히 진행되고는 있지만 이러한 복합체의 거동은 흙과 사용 필터재의 상호작용으로 인한 여러 가지 영향 인자들 때문에 실제의 필터 설계는 경험적인 방법에 의존하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 흙/부직포 시스템에서 세립자 이동에 의한 폐색 현상을 규명하고자 하였다. 국내의 대표적인 풍화잔적토 지반에 속하는 서울의 신내동과 포이동 지역의 흘을 시료로 이용한 본 실험은 필터재 내에서의 흐름방향에 따라 수평흐름과 수직흐름으로 나누어 실내 시험을 실시하였다. 필터재로서는 현장에서 배수재로 광범위하게 쓰이는 토목섬유를 사용하였다. 흙 모체와 필터가 결합된 복합체의 적합성 여부를 필터재의 흐름에 따라 비교, 분석하고 기존에 제안된 폐색 방지 기준을 적용하여 보았다. 이러한 실험결과를 토대로 하여 수평 흐름시 발생하는 공간적 투수 계수 변화를 예측할 수 있는 모델을 제안하고 실내에서 실시한 모형실험과 이론적 모델예측의 비교를 통하여 투수능 저하 현상의 시각적, 공간적 변화 양상을 파악하였다.

One of commonly physical phenomena encountered in pump sump systems in which its significant influence to the hydraulic performance of pump system plays an important role in the field of fluid engineering, is the appearance of free surface and submerged vortices. In this paper, a study of the vortices behavior and their formative mechanism of asymmetry is considered in this paper by using numerical approach. The Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and k-omega Shear Stress Transport turbulence model used to describe the properties of turbulent flows, in company with VOF multiphase model, are implemented by Fluent code with multi-block structured grid system. In the numerical simulation, the calculated elevation of air-water interface and vortex core contours are used to classify visually surface vortices as well as submerged vortices. It is shown that the free surface vortex is identified by the concavity of liquid region from the free surface and swirling flow at that own plane. To investigate the distinctive behavior of these vortices corresponding to each given flow rate at the same water level, some numerical testing of them are considered here in such a manner that the flow pattern of surface vortex are obtained similarly to the obtained results from experiment. Furthermore, the influence due to the change of grid refinement and the variation of depth of the concavity are also considered in this paper. From that, these influential factors will be implemented to design a good pump sump with higher performance in the future.

In the Part I, the three dimensional model testing with NNW deep water wave direction gave the results such that the occurrence of breaking waves over the peak of Ear-Do caused very small wave height at the structure position. But the measured wave forces were rather greater than the calculated forces based on deep water wave height. Furthermore, It was also perceived that the time series of the forces looked like corresponding to the case that waves were superimposed by an unidirectional current. In the present Part II, the current is presumed to be a flow secondly induced by breaking waves, and an extensive study to clarify the current in a quantitative sense is performed through numerical analysis and hydraulic experiment. The results showed that a strong circulation can surely occur in the vicinity of the structure due to radiation stress differentials given by the breaking waves. It was also recognized that the velocity of the induced current varied with the magnitude of energy dissipation rate introduced in the numerical analysis. The numerical analysis was tuned adjusting the dissipation rate so that the calculated wave field could closely match with the experimental results of Part I. The fluid force (in prototype) for the optimal match showed approximately 2.2% increased over the calculated value based on the deep water wave height (24.6m) whereas the force corresponding to the average of the experimental values showed the increase of about 13.0%.

A compression to tensile load transforming (CTT) device was developed to determine indirect tensile strength of concrete material. Before CTT test, Particle flow code was used for the determination of the standard dimension of physical samples. Four numerical models with different dimensions were made and were subjected to tensile loading. The geometry of the model with ideal failure pattern was selected for physical sample preparation. A concrete slab with dimensions of $15{\times}19{\times}6cm$ and a hole at its center was prepared and subjected to tensile loading using this special loading device. The ratio of hole diameter to sample width was 0.5. The samples were made from a mixture of water, fine sand and cement with a ratio of 1-0.5-1, respectively. A 30-ton hydraulic jack with a load cell applied compressive loading to CTT with the compressive pressure rate of 0.02 MPa per second. The compressive loading was converted to tensile stress on the sample because of the overall test design. A numerical modeling was also done to analyze the effect of the hole diameter on stress concentrations of the hole side along its horizontal axis to provide a suitable criterion for determining the real tensile strength of concrete. Concurrent with indirect tensile test, the Brazilian test was performed to compare the results from two methods and also to perform numerical calibration. The numerical modeling shows that the models have tensile failure in the sides of the hole along the horizontal axis before any failure under shear loading. Also the stress concentration at the edge of the hole was 1.4 times more than the applied stress registered by the machine. Experimental Results showed that, the indirect tensile strength was clearly lower than the Brazilian test strength.

온라인 실험 방법은 실험 정보를 직접 수치 해석에 사용하는 수치 실험법의 하나로, 지반의 역학적 특성이 요소 시험체로 부터 실시간으로 수치해석에 업데이트되므로 이상화된 역학모델을 사용하지 않고 지반 해석을 수행할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이 방법은 모래 지반을 주요한 대상으로 하는 지반내진공학 분야에서 주로 사용되어 왔으나 최근 압밀 문제에 적용할 수 있는 실험법이 개발되어 실내 검증과 현장검증이 시도되었다. 지금까지의 관련 연구에서는 압밀층 중앙에 요소 시험체를 위치시켜 평균적인 반응 거동만을 수치해석에 업데이트하는 방법이 주로 사용되어 왔으나, 이러한 경우에는 압밀층 두께가 두꺼워 질수록 해석 정도가 떨어질 수 있다는 점이 단점으로 지적되어 왔다, 따라서 압밀 문제에 대한 온라인 실험법의 유효성 및 가능한 해석 범위를 명확하게 하기 위해서는 이러한 영향요소를 완전히 배제할 수 있는 실험 조건을 적용하여 결과를 검토할 필요가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 동일한 조건 하에서 실시된 온라인 압밀 시험과 분할형 압밀시험 결과를 이용하여 점토 시료의 압밀 침하와 과잉간극수압 소산 재현 측면에서 온라인 압밀 실험 결과를 검토하였다. 실험결과, 온라인 압밀 실험은 재구성 카올리나이트 점토의 유효 응력에 따른 압축성 변화를 큰 모순 없이 재현해 내고 있었으며, 과잉간극수압 소산 속도 측면에서는 온라인 압밀 실험이 조금 빠른 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 실험 결과를 바탕으로 점토 시료의 과잉간극수압 소산 거동을 보다 정도 높게 예측하기 위해서는 점토의 투수성도 리얼타임으로 업데이트 할 수 있는 방향으로 실험 절차가 개선이 되어야 한다는 점과 과잉간극수압 소산 후의 변형에 대해서는 추가적인 연구나 개선이 필요하다는 점을 알 수 있었다.
