  • The concrete stiffness matrices of membrane elements used in the finite element analysis of wall-type structures are reviewed and discussed. The behavior of cracked reinforced concrete membrane elements is first described by summarizing the constitutive laws of concrete and steel established for the two softened truss models (the rotating-angle softened-truss model and the fixed-angle softened-truss model). These constitutive laws are then related to the concrete stiffness matrices of the two existing cracking models (the rotating-crack model and the fixed-crack model). In view of the weakness in the existing models, a general model of the matrix is proposed. This general matrix includes two Poisson ratios which are not clearly understood at present. It is proposed that all five material properties in the general matrix should be established by new biaxial tests of panels using proportional loading and strain-control procedures.

  • 스테인레스 강(SUS 316L) 분말과 왁스계 결합제를 혼합하여 제조한 분말사출재의 유변학적 특성을 낮은 전단율에서 측정하기 위해 동심원반식 점성측정기를 이용하여 실험을 실시하였다. 측정기 벽면에서 발생하는 벽면 슬립(Slip)을 확인하고 벽면 슬립을 보정하기 위하여 두가지의 원반 간격에서 측정된 실험 자료를 이용하여 벽면 슬립을 보정하는 방법을 채택하였다. 실험 중, 측정 전단율범위를 제한하는 Thixotropy 현상을 발견학고 이에대한 원인분석을 위한 실험을 진행한 결과 과도한 전단응력에 의해서 분말사출재로부터 분리되어 나온 슬립층이 내부로 빠르게 흡수되어 들어가지 못하고 잔류하면서 Thixotropy 현상을 발 생시키는 것으로 판단되었다. Thixotropy 현상이 발생하지 않는 범위를 조사한후, 제한된 범위내에서 분말사출재의 유변학적 특성을 측정하였다. 측정된 자료는 항복응력을 지니는 유체의 특성을 표현하는 Bingham 식의 변형식에 잘 근사 되었으며, 슬립속도를 실험결과로 부터 계산한 결과 전단응력에 따라 선형적인 관계를 가지고 있는 점과 항복응력의 존재를 정성적으로 보여주는 결과를 얻었다.

  • The control rod assemblies do freely fall into the reactor core by the gravity from the control rod drive mechanism. In order to achieve a rapid shutdown and control the reactor power, it is required to insert control rod assemblies as soon as possible. In this paper, we evaluated the drop time and flow characteristics caused around guide tube for SMART(System-integrated modular advanced reactor) control rod assembly. Numerical analyses are carried out with FLUENT program of computational fluid dynamics. This study results show that the drop time of the control rod assembly in the operating condition of SMART is more 20 percent rapidly than the drop time of the room temperature and ambient atmosphere condition.

  • The possibility of skin friction reduction in laminar channel flow is investigated when the flow is subjected to stationary distributed surface blowing and suction. Blowing and suction provided at the channel walls is steady in time but varies as a sine function along the streamwise direction. The skin friction changes depending on the wavelength and amplitude of the actuation. Especially, the skin friction is reduced below that of fully developed laminar flow as the wavelength decreases and amplitude increases. The optimal wavelength of producing minimum skin friction is $\pi/2{\delta}$, where $\delta$ is the channel half-height It is observed that the distributed blowing and suction induces strong negative Reynolds shear stress in the near-wall region at the end of the suction part.

  • In the present work, characteristics of the flow in the cage of a steam turbine bypass control valve for thermal power plant are investigated. Experimental measurement for wall static pressure has been carried out to validate numerical solutions. And, the flowfield is analyzed by solving steady three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Shear stress transport (SST) model is used as turbulence closure. The effects of the flow area between stages of the cage on the pressure drop are also found.

  • This paper presents a procedure for the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic characteristics of a sirocco fan. For the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic analyses of the sirocco fan, three-dimensional steady and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a shear stress transport turbulence model for turbulence closure. The flow analyses were performed on a hexahedral grid using a finite-volume solver. The validation of the numerical results is performed by comparing with experimental data for the pressure, efficiency and power. The internal flow analyses of the sirocco fan are performed to understand the unstable flow phenomenon on the casing for the wall pressure and internal flow characteristics at each position. It was found that fluctuation of pressure and locally concentrated noise source are observed near the cut-off and expansion regions of the casing.

  • Flow characteristics are numerically investigated when a packet of waves consisting of a Tollmien-Schlichting wave and a pair of Squire waves evolves in a flat-plate laminar boundary layer using a large eddy simulation with a dynamic subgrid-scale model. Characteristics of early stage transitional boundary layer flow such as the .LAMBDA. vortex, variation of the skin friction and backscatter are predicted. Smagorinsky constants and the eddy viscosity obtained from the dynamic subgrid-scale model significantly change as the flow evolves. Far Field noise radiated from the transitional boundary layer shows the dipole and quadrupole characteristics owing to the wall shear stress and the Reynolds stresses, respectively.

  • Relationships between biochemical phenomena and hemodynamics on human endothelial cells are very important to study the mechanism of atherosclerotic formation and development. The objective of this study is to investigate the flow phenomena around the endothelial cell model by the PIV experiment. The microscopic images of endothelial cells were acquired by a CCD camera to fabricate the shape of endothelial cell. The cell models were fabricated by using a photoforming process. Two consecutive particle images were captured by the CCD camera for the image processing. Conifer powder as the tracing particles was added to water to visualize the flow field. The cross-correlation method was applied fer the image processing of the flow visualization. Pressure and wall shear stress variations on the surfaces of the endothelial cells were calculated to investigate the effects of hemodynamic forces on the morphological changes.

  • Scramjets are a class of hypersonic airbreathing engine that are associated with realizing the technology required for economical, reliable access-to-space and high-speed atmospheric transport. After-burning augments the thrust produced by the scramjet nozzle and creates a more robust nozzle design. This paper presents a numerical study of three parameters and the effect that they have on thrust augmentation. These parameters include the injection pressure, injection angle and streamwise injection position. It is shown that significant levels of thrust augmentation are produced based upon contributions from increased pressure, mass flow and energy in the nozzle. Further understanding of the phenomenon by which thrust augmentation is being produced is provided in the form of a force contribution breakdown, analysis of the nozzle flowfields and finally the analysis of the surface pressure and shear stress distributions acting upon the nozzle wall.
