Application of the supercritical condition in reactor core cooling needs to be properly justified based on the extreme level of parameters involved. Therefore, a numerical study is presented to compare the thermalhydraulic performance of supercritical and single-phase natural circulation loops under low-to-intermediate power levels. Carbon dioxide and water are selected as respective working fluids, operating under an identical set of conditions. Accordingly, a three-dimensional computational model was developed, and solved with an appropriate turbulence model and equations of state. Large asymmetry in velocity and temperature profiles was observed in a single cross section due to local buoyancy effect, which is more prominent for supercritical fluids. Mass flow rate in a supercritical loop increases with power until a maximum is reached, which subsequently corresponds to a rapid deterioration in heat transfer coefficient. That can be identified as the limit of operation for such loops to avoid a high temperature, and therefore, the use of a supercritical loop is suggested only until the appearance of such maxima. Flow-induced heat transfer deterioration can be delayed by increasing system pressure or lowering sink temperature. Bulk temperature level throughout the loop with water as working fluid is higher than supercritical carbon dioxide. This is until the heat transfer deterioration, and hence the use of a single-phase loop is prescribed beyond that limit.

In this paper, we studied the effects of intersection angles of the flow-foucusing type droplet generation device inlet channel on droplet diameter using numerical simulation modeling. We modeled different intersection angles with a fixed continuous channel width, dispersed channels width, orifices width, and expansion channels width. Numerical simulations were performed using COMSOL Multiphysics$^{(R)}$ to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for a two-phase flow in various flow-focusing geometries. Modeling results showed that an increase of the intersection angle causes an increase in the modification of the dispersed flow rate ($v^{\prime}{_d}$), and the increase of the modification of the continuous flow rate ($v^{\prime}{_c}$) obstructs the dispersed phase fluid flow, thereby reducing the droplet diameter. However, the droplet diameter did not decrease, even when the intersection angle increased. The droplet diameter decreased when the intersection angle was less than $90^{\circ}$, increased at an intersection angle of $90^{\circ}$, and decreased when the intersection angle was more than $90^{\circ}$. Furthermore, when the intermediate energy deceased, there was a decrease in the droplet diameter when the intersection angle increased. Therefore, variations in the droplet diameter can be used to change the intersection angle and fluid flow rate.

The two-phase turbulent flow past an interface-piercing circular cylinder is studied using a high-fidelity orthogonal curvilinear grid solver with a Lagrangian dynamic subgrid-scale model for large-eddy simulation and a coupled level set and volume of fluid method for air-water interface tracking. The simulations cover the sub-critical and critical and post critical regimes of the Reynolds and sub and super-critical Froude numbers in order to investigate the effect of both dimensionless parameters on the flow. Significant changes in flow features near the air-water interface were observed as the Reynolds number was increased from the sub-critical to the critical regime. The interface makes the separation point near the interface much delayed for all Reynolds numbers. The separation region at intermediate depths is remarkably reduced for the critical Reynolds number regime. The deep flow resembles the single-phase turbulent flow past a circular cylinder, but includes the effect of the free-surface and the limited span length for sub-critical Reynolds numbers. At different Froude numbers, the air-water interface exhibits significantly changed structures, including breaking bow waves with splashes and bubbles at high Froude numbers. Instantaneous and mean flow features such as interface structures, vortex shedding, Reynolds stresses, and vorticity transport are also analyzed. The results are compared with reference experimental data available in the literature. The deep flow is also compared with the single-phase turbulent flow past a circular cylinder in the similar ranges of Reynolds numbers. Discussion is provided concerning the limitations of the current simulations and available experimental data along with future research.

The problem of architecting a reliable transport system across an overlay network using split TCP connections as the transport primitive is mainly considered. The considered overlay network uses the application-level switch in each intermediate host. We first argue that natural designs based on store-and-forward principles that are maintained by split TCP connections of hop-by-hop approaches. These approaches in overlay networks do not concern end-to-end TCP semantics. Then, a new transport protocol-Overlay Transport Protocol (OTP)-that manages the end-to-end connection and is responsible for the congestion/flow control between source host and destination host is proposed. The proposed network model for the congestion and flow control mechanisms uses a new window size-Ownd-and a new timer in the source host and destination host. We validate our analytical findings and evaluate the performance of our OTP using a prototype implementation via simulation.

This is the fifth in a series of companion papers dealing with the dynamic hardening properties of various marine structural steels at intermediate strain rates. Five steps of strain rate levels (0.001, 1, 10, 100, 200/s) and three steps of temperature levels (LT ($-40^{\circ}C$), RT, and HT ($200^{\circ}C$)) were taken into account for the dynamic tensile tests of three types of marine structural steels: API 2W50 and Classifications EH36 and DH36. The total number of specimens was 180 pieces. It was seen that the effects of dynamic hardening became clearer at LT than at RT. Dynamic strain aging accompanying serrated flow stress curves was also observed from high temperature tests for all kinds of steels. The dynamic hardening factors (DHFs) at the two temperature levels of LT and RT were derived at the three plastic strain levels of 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 from dynamic tensile tests. Meanwhile, no DHFs were found for the high temperature tests because a slight negative strain rate dependency due to dynamic strain aging had occurred. A new formulation to determine material constant D in a Cowper-Symonds constitutive equation is provided as a function of the plastic strain rate, as well as the plastic strain level. The proposed formula is verified by comparing with test flow stress curves, not only at intermediate strain rate ranges but also at high strain rate ranges.

중 저준위 방사성폐기물 처분 부지의 부지특성조사 결과를 이용하여 처분장 부지의 지하수 유동체계를 이해하기 위한 수치 모델링을 수행하였다. 부지의 투수성 단열대 및 암반단열의 분포 특성에 근거하여 단열망 모델을 구축하고, 이를 이용하여 생성된 10개의 수리전도도장을 지하수 유동 모델링에 반영한 추계론적 Hybrid-EPM 방법으로 수치 모델을 구성하였다. 10회의 지하수 유동 모델링 결과, 처분 부지의 지하수두 및 지하수 흐름은 지표 근처에서 지형적인 요소에 크게 지배를 받는 것으로 나타나며 처분장 심도에서는 주변에 존재하는 투수성이 높은 단열대에 의해 영향을 받음을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 처분 시설 건설 중 사일로 주변 지역에서 수위 강하가 크게 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 처분 시설 폐쇄한 후 지하수위는 1년 이내에 급속히 회복되며, 대략 2년이 지난 후 완전히 회복 될 것으로 분석되었다.

국내 중·저준위 방사성폐기물 처분시설로 고려되고 있는 표층처분시설의 불포화대에서 핵종 이동을 야기하는 지하수 유동을 평가하기 위하여 유한요소법 기반의 COMSOL Multiphysics을 이용한 수치모델을 개발하였다. 그리고, 처분장 가장자리를 대상으로 처분고, 뒤채움재, 처분덮개로 구성되는 표층처분시설과 그 아래에 위치한 불포화대를 포함한 수직 2차원의 모델 영역을 구성하여, 시나리오 별 모델링을 수행하였다. 지속적 강수 유입 조건과 간헐적 강수 유입 조건 비교에서 포화도의 파동 현상을 제외하고는 뚜렷한 차이점을 보이지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 불포화대의 공극률이나 잔류함수비와 같은 입력 자료는 전반적으로 불포화대 지하수 유동에 큰 영향도가 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 하지만, 불포화대의 수리전도도는 지하수 유동에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다. 즉, 처분고로의 지하수 유입 속도를 판단하기 위해서는 불포화대의 수리전도도 특성이 신중하게 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

Procedures and results of aerodynamic design of a centrifugal compressor are presented for development of a 40kW class turbogenerator gas turbine. Specification of higher level of total pressure ratio of 4 and total efficiency of $80\%$ requires advanced methods of design and analysis. In the meanline design/analysis, a method with conventional loss modeling and a method with the two-zone model are alternately used for more reliable prediction. In the impeller blade generation, a series of Bezier curve are combined to produce meridional contours and distributions of blade camber angle and blade thickness. Intermediate profiles of blades are repeatedly produced and changed to be finally fixed through quasi-three dimensional Euler flow analysis. Three dimensional compressible turbulent flow analysis is then performed for the impeller to be confirmed in the final step of design. Satisfactory results in the aerodynamic performance are obtained, which assures that there is no need of aerodynamic re-design.

Static Single Assignment (SSA) form is an intermediate representation which encodes information about data and control flow that is use used to facilitate program analysis and optimization. SSA form simplifies this process with its size linear to program size. Thus we use SSA form to efficiently facilitate bytecode level analysis and optimizations in our CTOC program processor project. In this paper, we illustrate the application and implement implementation of SSA form using an example. We give the conclusion after experimental results.
