A submerged breakwater is one of the coastal structures used to reduce wave energy and coastal erosion. However, a submerged breakwater has a negative aspect in that a strong rip current occurring around an open inlet due to a difference in mean water levels at the front and rear sides of the structure leads to scouring. Such scouring has a bad effect on its stability. In order to eliminate this kind of demerit, this study investigated an artificial reef of the overflow type with openings. We also developed a program where the flows around the artificial reef of the overflow type could be analyzed numerically. An unstructured grid system was used to cover the various geometries, and the level set method was applied to treat the movement of the free surface. To verify these numerical schemes, hydraulic physical tests were performed on the submerged breakwater and double breaking type artificial reef. Then, the wave height and velocity distribution around the reef were examined using the experimental results. Comparisons between the results of hydraulic and numerical tests showed reasonable agreement.

To cool down a nuclear reactor core and prevent the fuel damage without a pump-driven active component during any anticipated accident, the passive emergency core cooling system (PECCS) was designed and adopted in an advanced light water reactor, i-POWER. In this study, for a validation of the cooling capability of PECCS, thermal-hydraulic integral effect tests were performed with the ATLAS facility by simulating intermediate and small break loss-of-coolant accidents (IBLOCA and SBLOCA). The test result showed that PECCS could effectively depressurize the reactor coolant system by supplying the safety injection water from the safety injection tanks (SITs). The result pointed out that the safety injection from IRWST should have been activated earlier to inhibit the excessive core heat-up. The sequence of the PECCS injection and the major thermal hydraulic transient during the SBLOCA transient was similar to the result of the IBLOCA test with the equivalent PECCS condition. The test data can be used to evaluate the capability of thermal hydraulic safety analysis codes in predicting IBLOCA and SBLOCA transients under an operation of passive safety system.

Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor (FHR) is a promising nuclear reactor technology. Among many challenges presented by the molten fluoride salts is the corrosion of salt-facing structural components. Higher moisture contents, in the FLiNaK (LiF-NaF-KF, 46.5-11.5-42 mol%) salt, aggravate intergranular corrosion and pitting for the given alloys. Therefore, several thermal dehydration tests of FLiNaK salt were performed with a batch size suitable for thermal-hydraulic experiments. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was performed for the three constituent fluoride salts individually. Preliminary thermal dehydration plans were then proposed for NaF and KF salts based on the TGA curves. However, the dehydration process may not be required for LiF since its low mass loss (<1.3 wt%). To evaluate the performance of these thermal dehydration plans, a batch-scale salt dehydration test facility was designed and constructed. The preliminary thermal dehydration plans were tested by varying the heating rates, target temperature, and holding time. The sample mass loss data showed that the high temperatures (>500 ℃) were necessary to remove a significant amount of moisture (>1 wt%) from NaF salt, while relatively low temperatures (around 300 ℃) with a long holding time (>10 h) were sufficient to remove most of the moisture from KF salt.

본 논문에서는 정류 상태의 정압시험에 대한 해석 방법 중 Moye 해석해를 고찰해 보았으며, 현장수리시험에서 정압시험에 대한 정류 상태의 해석과 부정류 상태의 해석에 대해 비교해 보았다. Moye 해석해로 산출한 수리전도도는 시험 구간의 크기가 작을수록 민감도가 커지기 때문에 시험 구간의 길이를 가능한 시험 조건에서 크게 설정하여 현장수리시험을 수행하는 것이 바람직하다. 특히 10^-8 m/sec 이하의 수리전도도를 갖는 저투수성 매질에서는 부정류 상태의 해석 결과에 비해 Moye 해석해로 도출한 수리전도도의 값이 작게 도출되는데, 이는 Moye 식에서 가정한 방사성 흐름과 구상 흐름의 경계면을 조정할 경우 보완할 수 있었다. KURT내 연구용 시험공에서 수행한 정압시험 결과, 저투수성 매질에서 부정류 상태의 시험을 통해 도출한 투수성이 정류 상태의 결과에 비해 큰 값이 도출되었다. 이는 정압시험에 의해 형성되는 방사상 흐름에서 구상 흐름으로 바뀌는 지하수 흐름의 경계면이 Moye 식에서 가정한 '시험구간 길이의 절반'보다 작게 형성되었기 때문으로 판단되며, 결국 결정질 암반에서 수행한 정압시험을 해석할 때 단순히 정류 상태의 해석으로 매질의 수리지질특성을 판단하기보다는 정류 상태의 해석에서 수반되는 가정 조건을 고려하여 부정류 상태의 시험 결과와 함께 비교하여 해석한다면 매질의 수리지질특성을 보다 잘 이해할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

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.

Uncontrolled landfills have been a threat to surrounding environment and human health. To examine the effect of hydrogeological properties on plume migration caused by landfill leachate, two representative landfills in Cheonan and Wonju were selected. In these landfills, seven and eight groundwater wells were installed respectively to monitor water quality and waterlevel, and to perform hydraulic and tracer tests. This study reports preliminary evaluation results including site characteristics, waterlevel measurement and slug tests.

액체로켓엔진용 산화제펌프의 수류시험을 상온에서 실시하였다. 수력성능시험 결과, 펌프의 양정 계수는 회전수가 커질수록 약간 감소하였고, 효율은 회전수가 커질수록 증가하였다. 흡입성능시험 결과, 유량비 92% 이하의 낮은 유량비에서 흡입성능이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 시험 중 측정한 고주파 신호를 이용하여 펌프의 진동 특성을 분석하였다.

The design fundamentals of the shaking tables are briefly discussed. In order to understand the recent trends in development of the shaking tables, the characteristics and performances of the major seismic testing facilities are investigated. The international standards related to the vibration tests using shaking table are also overviewed. The newly designed multipurpose biaxial shaking table of Hyundai Heavy Industries, Co., Ltd. is introduced. It has the capabilities to perform the vibration, shock and seismic qualification tests in two simultaneous and independent directions (vertical and horizontal directions). Since the shaking table adapts four extremely stiff torque instead of much more expensive hydraulic actuators, these tubes can restrain two undesired rotational motions. Regarding the manufacturing and maintenance costs, two system is more economical since it has only two hydraulic actuators unlike others.

In this paper the forming simulation of circular bulge by using PAM-STAMP has been performed to estimate the sheet metal forning and the plastic deformation characteristic of circular bulge. The uniaxial tension tests adn bulge tests are carried out for studying the forming characteristics of materials, and also Moire experiment are carried out for measuring the radius of curvature of the bulge and the polar compressive thickness strain. In order to compare the simulation results with the experiment and Hills theory, the relationships between redius of curvature adn polar height of the bulge, between hydraulic pressure and polar height, and between polar compressive thickness strain and polar height, are used. According to this study, the results of simulation and Hills theory are good agreement to the experiment. So, the results of simulation by using PAM-STAMP and Hills theory will give engineers good information to assess the formagbility and plastic deformation characteristic of hydraulic circular bulge test.
