For analyses of multi-phase flows in a water-cooled nuclear power plant, a three-dimensional SIMPLE-algorithm based hydrodynamic solver CUPID-S has been developed. As governing equations, it adopts a two-fluid three-field model for the two-phase flows. The three fields represent a continuous liquid, a dispersed droplets, and a vapour field. The governing equations are discretized by a finite volume method on an unstructured grid to handle the geometrical complexity of the nuclear reactors. The phasic momentum equations are coupled and solved with a sparse block Gauss-Seidel matrix solver to increase a numerical stability. The pressure correction equation derived by summing the phasic volume fraction equations is applied on the unstructured mesh in the context of a cell-centered co-located scheme. This paper presents the numerical method and the preliminary results of the calculations.

In order to evaluate the performance of three heuristic optimization algorithms, namely, simulated annealing (SA), genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) for optimal stacking sequence of laminated composite plates with respect to critical buckling load and non-dimensional natural frequencies, a multi-objective optimization procedure is developed using the weighted summation method. Classical lamination theory and first order shear deformation theory are employed for critical buckling load and natural frequency computations respectively. The analytical critical buckling load and finite element calculation schemes for natural frequencies are validated through the results obtained from literature. The comparative study takes into consideration solution and computational time parameters of the three algorithms in the statistical evaluation scheme. The results indicate that particle swarm optimization (PSO) considerably outperforms the remaining two methods for the special problem considered in the study.

A methodology is applied to identify tile learning trend related to the safety and availability of U.S. commercial nuclear power plants. The application is intended to aid in reducing likelihood of human errors. To assure that tile methodology ran be easily adapted to various types of classification schemes of operation data, a data bank classified by the Transient Analysis Classification and Evaluation(TRACE) scheme is selected for the methodology. The significance criteria for human-initiated events affecting tile systems and for events caused by human deficiencies were used. Clustering analysis was used to identify the learning trend in multi-dimensional histograms. A computer rode is developed based on tile K-Means algorithm and applied to find the learning period in which error rates are monotonously decreasing with plant age.

이 논문에서는 다차원 색인 구조에서 질의를 지연시키는 주된 요인인 노드 분할연산과 MBR(Minimun Bounding Regions)변경 연산에 대해 효율적으로 대처하는 동시성 제어 기법을 제안한다. 분할 시 탐색이 지연되는 시간을 최소화 하기 위해 대부분의 과정에서 질의와 호환되는 공유 래치를 획득한 후 수행하고 분할이 발생된 노드에 엔트리들이 복사되는 동안만 배타 래치를 획득하는 방법을 사용한다. MBR 변경 연산의 동시성을 높이기 위해 부분적인 잠금 결합을 사용한다. 즉, MBR 변경 연산중 주로 발생되는 MBR이 증가되는 삽입연산은 잠금 결합을 수행하지 않고, 감소되는 삭제 연산만 잠금 결합을 수행한다. 또한 성능 평가를 통하여 제안된 동시성 제어 기법이 GiST의 동시성 제어 알고리즘에 비해 처리율 관점에서 성능이 우수함을 보인다.

As an automobile tends to be high grade, the needs for more luxurious interior and comfortable HVAC system are emerged. The defrosting ability is another major factor of the performances of HVAC system. The present work is to simulate the flow and the temperature field of cabin interior during the defrost mode. The three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and energy equation were solved on the multi blocked grid system by the iterative time marching method and AF scheme, respectively. The present computations were validated by the comparison of the temperature field of a driven cavity and velocity field of 1/5 model scale of an automobile. Generally good agreements were obtained. By the present computation, the complicated features of flow and temperature within the automotive cabin interior could be well understood.

In order to reduce the excessive numerical dissipation, the new spatial discretization scheme is introduced. The present method in this paper has the formula that has an additional procedure of defining transferred properties at a cell-interface, based on AUSMPW+. The newly defined transferred property could eliminate numerical dissipation effectively in non-flow aligned grid system. In addition, the present method guarantees the monotonic characteristic in capturing a discontinuity. Through a stationary or moving contact discontinuity and a stationary or moving shock discontinuity, a vortex discontinuity and shock wave/ boundary layer interaction, it is verified that the accuracy of the present method is improved.

Maximum likelihood(ML) diretion-of-arrival(DOA) estimation is essentially optimization of multivariable nonlinear cost function. Since the final estimate is highly dependent on the initial estimate, an initialization is critical in nonlinear optimization. We propose a multi-dimensional(M-D) search scheme of uniform exhaustive search and improved exhaustive search. Improved exhaustive search is superior to uniform exhaustive search in terms of the computational complexity and the accuracy of the estimates.

다차원 색인 기법 M-트리는 노드의 중심점과 객체간의 상대적 거리로 색인을 구성하고, 검색 공간에 포함되는 객체를 액세스하는 기법으로서 노드들은 페이지 단위로 구성되며 하위 엔트리들을 포함할 수 있는 반경, 즉 유사도 거리에 의해 노드의 영역이 표현되어진다. 그러나 이와 같은 노드의 영역 표현에 있어서 노드 색인공간의 중첩으로 인해 질의 시 검색 패스가 증가하고 이로 인해 거리계산과 디스크 입출력의 증가를 야기하는 문제를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 M-트리에서 문제가 되고 있는 노드 색인 공간의 중첩을 최소화할 수 있는 노드 분할 정책을 제안한다. 기존의 M-트리와는 다르게 노드의 가상 중심점을 계산하여 그것을 라우팅 객체로 만들어 노드를 커버하는 영역을 최소화하고 노드 안의 엔트리를 재분배하여 밀도 높은 노드를 구성 하도록 한다. 제안된 분할 알고리즘의 효율성을 증명하기 위한 실험 결과 색인공간의 중첩이 줄고 이로 인해 거리계산과 디스크 입출력의 횟수가 줄어듦을 보였다.

In this paper, a zero-dimensional mathematical formulation for rapid and explosive decompression analyses of pressurized aircraft is developed. Air flows between two compartments and between the damaged compartment and external ambient are modeled by assuming an adiabatic, reversible transformation. Both supercritical and subcritical decompressions are considered, and the attention focuses on intercompartment venting systems. In particular, passive and active vents are addressed, and mathematical models of both swinging and translational blowout panels are provided. A numerical procedure based on an explicit Euler integration scheme is also discussed for multi-compartment aircraft analysis. Various numerical solutions are presented, which highlight the importance of considering the opening dynamics of blowout panels. The comparisons with the results from the literature demonstrate the validity of the proposed methodology, which can be also applied, with no lack of accuracy, to the decompression analysis of spacecraft.

The COBRA/RELAPS code, an integrated version of the COBRA-TF and RELAP5/MOD3 codes, has been developed for the realistic simulations of complicated, multi-dimensional, two-phase, thermal-hydraulic system transients in light water reactors. Recently, KAERA developed an unified version of the COBRA/RELAP5 code, which can run in serial mode on both workstations and personal computers. This paper provides the brief overview of the code integration scheme, the recent code modifications, the developmental assessments, and the future development plan.
