For industrial package (IP)-type transport containers for radioactive materials, a free drop test should be conducted under regulatory conditions. Owing to various uncertainties observed during the drop test, errors in drop angles inevitably occur. In IP-type metal transport containers in which the container directly impacts onto a rigid target without any shock absorbing materials, the error in the drop angle due to a slight misalignment makes a significant difference from the ideal drop. In particular, in a vertical drop, the error in the drop angle causes a strong secondary impact. In this paper, a numerical method is proposed to estimate the error in the drop angle occurring during the test. To determine this error, an optimization method accompanying a computational drop analysis is proposed, and a surrogate model is introduced to ensure calculation efficiency. Effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by performing the verification and comparison between the test and the analysis applied with the drop angle error.

Swirling flows are related to the spiral motion in the tangential direction in addition to the axial and radial direction using several swirl generators. These type of flows are used in combustion chambers to improve flame stability, heat exchanger to enhance heat transfer coefficients, agricultural spraying machines and some vertical pipes to move slurries or transport of materials. However, only a few studies three dimensional velocity profiles in a vertical pipe have been reported. In this present paper, 3 dimension particle image velocimetry(PIV) technique was employed to measure the velocity profiles in water along a vertical circular pipe with Reynolds number from 6000 to 13,000. A tangential inlet condition was used as the swirl generator to produce the required flow. The velocities were measured with swirling flow in the water along the test section using the PIV technique.

This experimental study was conducted to figure out the characteristics of convective heat transfer non boiling vertical downward flow with polymer additives. This experiment was studied in diameter, 800mm heating length and $1{\times}10^5 W/m^2$ heat flux. The polymer concentration ranged 0ppm to 500ppm with corresponding from superficial liquid velocity 1.25m/s to 2.5m/s in non bo vertical up and downward flow. Experimental results show that the characteristics of convective transfer was a strong function of polymer concentration and it has decreased with increasing polymer concentration in non boiling up and vertical downward flow.

For the purpose of ground improvement by means of soil flushing systems. Incorporated technique with prefabricated vertical drains have been used for dewatering from fine-grained soils. The laboratory model tests were performed by using the flushing tracer solutions for silty soils and recorded the tracer concentration changes with the elapsed time and flow rates. A mathematical model for prediction of contaminant transport using the PVD technology has been developed. The clean-up times for the predictions on both soil condition indicate more of a sensitivity to the dispersivity parameter than to the extracted flow rate and vertical velocity parameters. Based on the results of the analyses, numerical analysis indicate that the most important factor to the in-situ soil remediation in prefabricated vertical drain system is the effective diameter of contaminated soil.

Improvement of soft clay deposit by preloading with vertical drains is one of the most popular techniques followed worldwide. These drains accelerate the rate of consolidation by shortening the drainage path. Although the analytical and numerical solutions available are mostly based on equal strain hypothesis, the adoption of free strain analysis is more realistic because of the flexible nature of the imposed surcharge loading, especially for the embankment loading used for transport infrastructure. In this paper, a numerical model has been developed based on free strain hypothesis for understanding the behaviour of soft ground improvement by vertical drain with preloading. The unit cell analogy is used and the effect of smear has been incorporated. The model has been validated by comparing with available field test results and thereafter, a hypothetical case study is done using the available field data for soft clay deposit existing in the eastern part of Australia and important conclusions are drawn therefrom.

Oceanographic survey data were analyzed to understand the characteristics of a warm eddy observed in the Ulleung Basin in July 2005. The temperature distribution at 200 db and vertical sections provided evidence of the warm eddy in the Ulleung Basin (UWE05). Based on the 5$^{\circ}C$ isothermal line on 200 db temperature, the major axis was 160 km from southwest to northeast, and the minor axis was 80 km from southeast to northwest. The homogeneous layer in the thermocline of UWE05 had mean values of 10.40$^{\circ}C$ potential temperature, 34.35 psu salinity, and 26.37 kg/m$^3$ potential density (${\sigma}_{\theta}$) and provided evidence that UWE05 also existed during the winter of 2004-2005. A warm streamer initially flowed along the circumference of UWE05 and mixed with the upper central water. Two northward current cores were found on the western side of the measured current section at the central latitude of UWE05. One was the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC) and the other was the main stream of the western part of UWE05. Geostrophic transport of the upper layer (from the surface to the isopycnal surface of 26.9 ${\sigma}_{\theta}$) was approximately 2.5 Sv in the eastern side of UWE05. However, the measured transport was twice as large as the geostrophic transport. Mass conservation of geostrophic transport was well satisfied in the upper layer. The direct current measurements and geostrophic transport analysis showed that the EKWC meandered around UWE05.

수요응답형 순환교통시스템(Personal Rapid Transit: PRT)은 자동차에 버금가는 승객의 요구 대응성 및 최적경로 운행으로 인한 높은 효율성 등의 특징 때문에 미래형 신교통수단으로서 많은 주목을 받아 왔다. 하지만 수송 분담 능력(4~6명)에 비해 건설비가 많이 들어가고 기존에 운용되고 있는 타 대중교통시스템과의 역할 분담 문제 때문에 적용에 한계가 있는 것도 사실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도시 내 유연한 운용과 타 교통수단과의 연계를 목적으로 PRT 차량을 위한 수직이송장치를 개발하였다. 기존의 물류 분야에서 많이 채택되고 있는 순환 컨베이어 방식을 응용하였으며, 특히 연속이송이 가능하며 사이클 타임이 적은 장점이 있다. 이와 더불어 1/10 스케일의 모형의 제작을 통하여 장치의 기술적인 운용 가능성을 확인하였으며, 이를 통해 구조적 안정성을 확보하기 위한 방안을 도출하였다.

지하 유류저장탱크에서 유류가 지속적으로 누출되는 경우에는 지하수 이동에 비해서 LNAPL의 이동을 무시할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 지하수면 위에서 LNAPL의 이동을 고려한 수정된 용질이동 모델을 개발하였다 LNAPL 이동을 고려하지 않는 기존 모델과 비교한 결과 수두 구배, 누출되는 기름의 양, 분산지수에 따라 두 모델은 차이점을 보였다. 수두 구배가 낮을수록, 누출되는 유류의 양이 증가할수록 수정된 모델과 기존 모델 사이의 평균편차가 증가하였다. 분산지수가 변화함에 따라서 평균편차는 변하지 않았지만, 분산지수가 증가할수록 두 모델 사이의 편차는 공간적으로 보다 넓게 나타났다. 수직방향으로의 분산이 크게 나타날 경우에는 LNAPL의 이동을 고려한 모델과 이동을 고려하지 않은 모델과의 차이가 지하수 유동 방향뿐만 아니라 수직방향으로도 크게 나타났다. 결국 LNAPL의 이동을 무시할 수 없는 지하환경에서는 기존의 모델을 가지고 용질이동을 모사할 경우 실제보다 농도가 낮게 추정될 가능성이 높다. 이 연구의 결과로 LNAPL이 지하수면 위에서 얼마나 빨리 이동하는지 아는 것이 올바른 오염물의 농도 예측에 중요하다는 것을 파악하였다.

The wind tunnel test of large-scale sectional model and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are employed for the purpose of studying the aerodynamic appendices and mechanism on suppression for the vortex-induced vibration (VIV). This paper takes the HongKong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge as an example to conduct the wind tunnel test of large-scale sectional model. The results of wind tunnel test show that it is the crash barrier that induces the vertical VIV. CFD numerical simulation results show that the distance between the curb and crash barrier is not long enough to accelerate the flow velocity between them, resulting in an approximate stagnation region forming behind those two, where the continuous vortex-shedding occurs, giving rise to the vertical VIV in the end. According to the above, 3 types of wind fairing (trapezoidal, airfoil and smaller airfoil) are proposed to accelerate the flow velocity between the crash barrier and curb in order to avoid the continuous vortex-shedding. Both of the CFD numerical simulation and the velocity field measurement show that the flow velocity of all the measuring points in case of the section with airfoil wind fairing, can be increased greatly compared to the results of original section, and the energy is reduced considerably at the natural frequency, indicating that the wind fairing do accelerate the flow velocity behind the crash barrier. Wind tunnel tests in case of the sections with three different countermeasures mentioned above are conducted and the results compared with the original section show that all the three different countermeasures can be used to control VIV to varying degrees.
