The rack cylinder is an important part of the pile leg structure of the jack up platform. Because of its complex structure, the flow field around the rack cylinder is different from that around the ordinary cylinder, which brings difficulties to the research of the rack cylinder. In this paper, using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) solved the flow field of chords with different rack height and rack width under different KC and Re, the characteristics of the flow field around the cylinder with rack are obtained. The results show that Re, KC, rack height and rack width all have different effects on the flow field. When Re and KC are constant, Cd will increase with the increase of rack height ratio, the change of Cd and Cl is not significant, while the change of Cd and Cl varies with Re when the chord structure is fixed.

The Barcelona Basic Model (BBM) is an elasto-plastic model used to describe the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviors of unsaturated soil. BBM is frequently adopted to model the unique swelling behavior of bentonite, which is generally considered as the buffer material between the host rock and the canister containing high-level radioactive waste in deep geological repositories, under the changing thermal, hydraulic, mechanical and chemical conditions during the lifetime of repository. Therefore, a variety of the continuum-based numerical methods tried to add the BBM for modelling the multi barrier systems of geological repository and succeeded to describe the elasto-plastic deformation of bentonite. However, to demonstrate the entire barrier systems the host rock should be modelled simultaneously with the buffer materials, and the continuum-based methods may be limited in their ability to reflect the fracture networks in the host rock which could be the major flow channels of groundwater. This research applies BBM in 3DEC, a three-dimensional block-based discrete element method, and validates the model by comparing the change of specific volume and mean effective stress during three numerical test cases. Discontinuum-based numerical methods with BBM can be extended to describe the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes of multi-barrier systems in geological repositories, with a focus on the interaction between the host rock and bentonite.

To conduct numerical simulation of a disposal repository of the spent nuclear fuel, it is necessary to numerically simulate the entire domain, which is composed on numerous finite elements, for at least several tens of thousands of years. This approach presents a significant computational challenge, as obtaining solutions through the numerical simulation for entire domain is not a straightforward task. To overcome this challenge, this study presents the process of producing the training data set required for developing the machine learning based hybrid solver. The hybrid solver is designed to correct results of the numerical simulation composed of coarse elements to the finer elements which derive more accurate and precise results. When the machine learning based hybrid solver is used, it is expected to have a computational efficiency more than 10 times higher than the numerical simulation composed of fine elements with similar accuracy. This study aims to investigate the usefulness of generating the training data set required for the development of the hybrid solver for disposal repository. The development of the hybrid solver will provide a more efficient and effective approach for analyzing disposal repository, which will be of great importance for ensuring the safe and effective disposal of the spent nuclear fuel.

수많은 함정용 채프들은 폭발에 의해 확산되어 채프운을 형성하며, 채프운은 허위 레이더 반사 단면적을 생성하여 적의 레이더를 기만한다. 본 논문에서는 전산유체역학-이산요소법 단방향 연동 기법을 기반으로 공기 중에 분포하는 함정용 채프운의 시공간 분포 를 해석하는 수치적 프레임워크를 구축하고 바람의 방향과 속도, 채프 카트리지의 초기 각도와 폭발 압력이 채프운 분포에 미치는 영 향을 분석하였다. 채프운의 확산은 폭발에 의한 방사형 확산, 난류와 충돌에 의한 전 방향 확산, 낙하 속도 차이에 의한 중력 방향 확산 과 같이 세 단계로 구분되는 것을 확인하였다. 바람은 채프운의 평균 위치를 이동시켰으며, 항력에 의한 확산 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 카트리지 초기 각도에 따라 폭발에 의한 방사형 확산 방향이 달라졌으며, 각도가 지면과 수직에 가까울수록 더 넓게 확산되었다. 폭발 압력이 증가할수록 채프운은 더 넓게 확산되었으나 중력 방향으로는 분포 차이가 작았다.

과학과 기술의 발달로 복합재료, 합금, 고강도 탄소섬유, 고분자 재료 등 지능형 소재가 개발되고 있다. 다양한 엔지 니어링 분야에서 이러한 첨단 재료의 응용을 연구하기 위해 전 세계적으로 광범위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 초탄성 형상기억합 금(SSMA)은 깃발 모양의 히스테리시스 거동을 가지며 추가적인 열처리 없이 응력 완화로 인한 잔류 변형이 거의 없는 신뢰성 이 높은 내진 재료이다. 그러나 공학 문제에서 SSMA 효율성을 연구하기 위한 수치 모델의 개발은 여전히 어려운 작업이다. 본 연구에서는 SSMA 인장시험의 실험결과를 통해 유한요소해석 프로그램인 Abaqus와 수치해석 프로그램인 OpenSEES를 이용하여 재료 모델을 구현한 후 해석결과의 거동 특성 및 에너지 소산을 분석하였다.

최근 국제해사기구의 해양환경오염규제가 강화되어 오고 있다. 선박의 에너지 효율지수는 선박의 설계관점에서 매우 중요 한 지표이다. 더욱이 새롭게 건조되는 선박은 물론 기존 운항 선박에도 에너지 효율지수를 만족하도록 강화하고 있다. 이에 따라 운항 되고 있는 기존선박의 에너지 효율지수를 높이기 위해 선수 벌브개조, 운항 중 트림 최적화, 에너지 절감장치등 다양한 방법이 적용되 고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전산 유체역학을 이용하여 다양한 선수/선미 트림조건에서 선박의 저항성능을 계산하고 분석하였다. 이를 바 탕으로 최적화 된 트림조건에서 선박의 저항성능을 더욱 개선하기 위해 선수 벌브의 형상을 재설계하였다. 그 결과 정수 중에서 개선 된 벌브 형상을 적용한 경우, 유효마력이 약 5% 향상되는 것을 확인하였으며, 향후 파도 중에서 재설계된 벌브형상이 저항성능에 미치 는 영향을 조사할 예정이다.

Equipment used for ships operating in the polar regions, such as icebreakers, should consider countermeasures against freezing. This study performed a structural design that prevents freezing and tolerates thermal stress and wind pressure of the air vent louver heating blades. As boundary conditions for performing the analysis, analysis was performed when the flow rates at the inlet end were 10m/s, 20m/s 30m/s, 40m/s, and 50m/s. As a result of the analysis, if the CNT heating element can maintain the heating performance of 200°C, the blade can maintain the room temperature state except for the end of about 40mm. There are pressure drop between the front and rear of the air vent louver. It can be seen that the allowable wind speed varies depending on the design criteria. As a results, it is required to select an optimal heating temperature to prevent condensation of a blade, optimize the generation of compressive stress by thermal expansion, and trade off the wind pressure and thermal stress according to wind speed.

Gases such as hydrogen can generate from the disposal canister in high-level radioactive waste disposal systems owing to the corrosion of cooper container in anoxic conditions. The gas can be accumulated in the voids of bentonite buffer around the disposal canister if gas generation rates become larger than the gas diffusion rate of bentonite buffer with the low-permeability. Continuous gas accumulations result in the increase in gas pressure, causing sudden dilation flow of gases with the gas pressure exceeding the gas breakthrough pressure. Given that the gas dilation flow can cause radionuclide leakage out of the engineered barrier system, it is necessary to consider possible damages affected by the radionuclide leakage and to properly understand the complicated behaviors of gas flow in the bentonite buffer with low permeability. In this study, the coupled hydro-mechanical model combined with the damage model that considers two-phase fluid flow and changes in hydraulic properties affected by mechanical deformations is applied to numerical simulations of 1-D gas injection test on saturated bentonite samples (refer to DECOVALEX-2019 Task A Stage 1A). To simulate the mechanical behavior of microcracks which occur due to the dilation flow caused by increase in gas pressure, a concept of elastic damage constitutive law is considered in the coupled hydro-mechanical model. When the TOUGH-FLAC coupling-based model proposed in this study is applied, changes in hydraulic properties affected by mechanical deformations combined with the mechanical damage are appropriately considered, and changes in gas injection pressure, pore pressures at radial filters and outlet, and stress recorded during the gas injection test are accurately simulated.

Discontinuum-based numerical methods can contain the multiple discontinuities in a model and reflect the thermal, hydraulic and mechanical characteristics of discontinuities. Therefore, discontinuum methods can be appropriate to simulate the model which require the detailed analysis of the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes in fractured rock such as geothermal energy, CO2 geo-sequestration, and geological repository of the high-level radioactive waste. TOUGH-3DEC, the three-dimensional discontinuum simulators for the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical analysis, was developed by linking the integral finite difference method TOUGH2 and the explicit distinct element method 3DEC to describe the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes in both porous media and discontinuity. TOUGH2 handles thermo-hydraulic analysis by the internal simulation module, and 3DEC performs mechanical study based on the constitutive models of porous media and discontinuity with coupling the thermal and hydraulic response from TOUGH2. The thermal and hydraulic couplings are the key processes and should be carefully verified by sufficient cases, so this study performed the thermomechanical and hydro-mechanical simulations which are modelling the analytic solutions including the uniaxial consolidation, fracture static opening, and the heating of a hollow cylinder problems. Each thermo-mechanical and hydro-mechanical verification case is also validated by comparing with the results of the other continuum and discontinuum-based numerical methods. TOUGH-3DEC results follow the analytic solutions and show better accuracy than the continuum-based numerical methods in the static fracture opening problem. The developed TOUGH-3DEC simulator can be expanded to coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical analysis in fractured rock mass, and the simulator needs to be verified by more complicated coupled processes problems which require in the chemical coupling.

Through constructing statistical fracture network model based on discrete element method, the evolution characteristics of the fracture aperture had been directly simulated and evaluated caused by redistributed stress after the borehole excavation. This study focuses on the size effect of the discrete element method for the analysis of the effective distance of fracture aperture change after the borehole excavation. A two-dimensional trace-type domain with a maximum size of 1.1 m2 was created using a discrete fracture network with stochastic information of KURT. A total of eight domains with different sizes were constructed from the largest domain area to the 0.4 m2 analysis area. The aperture change ratio which can be depending on the domain size was examined. The ratio was investigated by comparing the aperture size before and after the simulation of borehole excavation. In addition, the effective range of aperture changes was analyzed by comparing the re-distribution distance from the center of the borehole. Based on dimensional analysis, input variables (borehole radius, occurrence distance of aperture changes, domain size) were modeled using exponential distribution form. Through the analysis model, two dimensionless variables were derived to investigate the expected distance of the aperture changes and appropriate DFN domain size for simulating bole excavation. As an application example of the 3-inch borehole simulation, the analysis model predicted that the range of aperture changes could occur within a radius of about 0.98 m from the borehole center, and the suitable size of the model had been inferred as about 5 × 5 m for minimizing the domain size effect.

Most fishing vessels are less than 100 m in length (LBP), which is not mandatory for the IMO standards for ship maneuverability. Therefore, research on estimating the maneuverability of fishing vessel hull shapes are somewhat lacking compared to that of merchant ship hull shapes, and at the design stage, the numerical simulation method developed for merchant ships are applied without modification to estimate the maneuverability. Since this can cause estimation errors, the authors have derived a modified empirical formula that can improve the accuracy of estimating the maneuverability of fishing vessels in a previous study. In this study, using the modified empirical formula, the IMO maneuverability evaluation items, the turning motion test and Z-test simulations were performed on the fisheries training vessel BAEK-KYUNG and compared with the sea trial test result to verify the validity of the modified empirical formula. In conclusion, the modified empirical formula was able to estimate quantitatively and qualitatively similar to the result of the sea trial test. Such a study on estimating the maneuverability of fishing vessels will be a good indicator for fishing vessel operators and will help them analyze marine accidents.

In order to understand the currents around Hampyung Bay and Haeje Peninsula, 2D numerical simulations for tidal currents and tide-induced residual currents were carried out. Dominant semidiurnal tidal currents have reversing form and flow NNE-SSW from northern Haeje Peninsula to Songi Island, E-S at northern Haeje Peninsula and NNW-SSE in Hampyung Bay. In flood, a part of currents from Imja Island~Nakwhol Island flow along the main stream flowing northeast at offshore region and the rest flow into Hampyung Bay flowing east along the northern coast of Haeje Peninsula. In ebb, currents from Hampyung Bay flow west along the northern coast of Haeje Peninsula and run together with the main stream flowing southeast at offshore region. The currents create an anticyclonic circulation in flood and a cyclonic circulation in ebb around Haeje Peninsula including Hampyung Bay. Tidal currents are accumulated on Doripo which located at the entrance of Hampyung Bay and show high current velocities. Tidal currents and tide induced residual currents are weak at the inside of Hampyung Bay which has narrow entrance, shallow water depth and wide intertidal zone. An anticyclonic eddy is formed around Gaksi Island as a result of tide induced residual currents. In northern coast of Haeje Peninsula, slow constant currents flow east. It is expected that a gradual change of sediment and an increase of flushing time for suspended materials are carried by tidal currents occurring in Hampyung Bay.
