Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate seawater flow field characteristics with various current directions near the manganese nodule mining device. Seawater flow near the collecting device is largely influenced by the sea current direction, especially along the downstream of the rear system. Predicted flow velocity distributions are analyzed with turbulent kinetic energy and drag force. There is big flow field variation when the direction angle between the mining device and seawater current flow approaches to 30°~ 120°, and flow velocity along the rear region of 60° becomes faster than 180°. Averaged turbulent kinetic energy at 180° also becomes low, about 57% higher at 60°. These results from the study can be applicable to the optimum design of manganese nodule collecting system in the deep seawater flow.
소형선박 설계에 있어 항주에 따른 설계 종경사 결정은 선체저항 뿐만 아니라 항주 안정성에 많은 영향을 주고 있다. 이는 초기 설계 시 선박의 무게중심 결정을 시작으로 대부분 결정된다. 본 연구는 소형 쌍동선박에 대해 수치해석을 통한 수직방향 무게중심 변화에 따른 종경사 영향을 확인하고, 이를 모형시험에서 결과를 검토하였다. 다양한 수직방향 무게중심 변화에 따른 모형시험 검토는 이뤄지지 못했지만, 향후 신조 소형선박 초기설계시 보다 나은 종경사 자세를 고려한 수직방향 무게중심 위치 제시를 목적으로 연구를 수행하였다. 수치해석 결과의 검증을 위하여 모형시험과 자세 비교를 수행하였다. 무게중심의 변화에 따른 종경사 각도 및 저항성능의 변화가 연구되었다.
본 연구에서는 완도 해역에서 단기적인 수온의 변화에 영향을 주는 요인을 파악하기 위하여 시계열 분석을 실시하였다. Power spectrum 결과에서 기온은 약 24 hr에서 peak를 보였으나 수온과 조위는 약 12 hr 및 24 hr에서 peak가 나타났다. 수온과 조위의 상관 성을 파악하기 위해 coherence 분석을 실시한 결과, 두 변수는 반일주기에서 0.92로 높은 상관성을 보였다. 또한 수온의 시·공간적인 분포를 파악하기 위하여 수치실험을 실시하였다. 대조기에는 최강 낙조와 최강 창조 시의 평균 수온차가 0.3 인 반면, 소조기에는 평균 수온차가 0.13 로 작았다. 대조기의 수온차가 큰 이유는 비교적 수온이 낮은 외해수가 강한 조류에 의해 창조 시 유입되고 낙조 시 빠져나가기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 전반적으로 수온은 외해보다 연안에서 높게 나타났다. 외해보다 연안은 수심이 얕기 때문에 일사량에 의해 수온이 빠르게 증가하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.
A numerical approach for ventilated disc brake with holes is carried out to investigate the effect of holes on the heat transfer characteristics. The numerical simulation code STAR-CCM+ is utilized to calculate flow and temperature fields with polyhedral meshes. The steady state results show that the holes make the flow velocity on the outer surface increasing, which induce the improvement of convective heat transfer on the outer surface. In the ventilated channel with holes, the convective heat transfer can be reduced due to the inflow of hot air through holes. In unsteady state, the disc has reached the highest temperature in 1,8s since the brake was engaged. The surface of disc without holes has maximum temperatures along the ventilated channels, while the surface temperatures of dis with holes are uniform.
PURPOSES : In this research, the initiation and development of corrugation on a gravel road with certain wheel and boundary conditions were evaluated using a coupled discrete-element method (DEM) with multibody dynamics (MBD).
METHODS: In this study, 665,534 particles with a 4-mm diameter were generated and compacted to build a circular roadbed track, with a depth and width of 42 mm and 50 mm, respectively. A single wheel with a 100-mm diameter, 40-mm width, and 0.157-kg mass was considered for the track. The single wheel was set to run slowly on the track with a speed of 2.5 rad/s so that the corrugation was gradually initiated and developed without losing contact between the wheel and the roadbed. Then, the shape of the track surface was monitored, and the movement of the particles in the roadbed was tracked at certain wheel-pass numbers to evaluate the overall corrugation initiation and development mechanism.
RESULTS : Two types of corrugation, long wave-length and short wave-length, were observed in the circular track. It seems that the long wave-length corrugation was developed by the longitudinal movement of surface particles in the entire track, while the short wave-length corrugation was developed by shear deformation in a local section. Properties such as particle coefficients, track bulk density, and wheel mass, have significant effects on the initiation and development of long-wave corrugation.
CONCLUSIONS : It was concluded that the coupled numerical method applied in this research could be effectively used to simulate the corrugation of a gravel road and to understand the mechanism that initiates and develops corrugation. To derive a comprehensive conclusion for the corrugation development under various conditions, the driver’s acceleration and deceleration with various particle gradations and wheelconfiguration models should be considered in the simulation.

Numerical analysis was performed to evaluate for reinforcing performance of RC beams in flexure strengthened with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) in this study. New bond strength model for TRM based on the model proposed by Teng et al. was suggested to predict the flexural behavior of RC beams and effective stress in accordance with debonding of TRM. And reduce factor of 0.729 was suggested by investigation of results on the bending test of RC beams strengthened with TRM. Reliability of proposed bond strength model was verified through the comparisons between collected test results and predicted results about the ultimate load of RC beams occurred by debonding of TRM. The ratios of predicted results on the total experimental results, the average and coefficient of variation were 1.00 and 0.094, respectively. Also, nonlinear analysis method proposed by Cho et al. was used to predict the displacement at the cross-section of mid-span for RC beams in flexure strengthened with TRM. At the three state of the RC beams such as occurrence of initial flexural crack in tensile concrete, yield of tensile rebar, and ultimate in accordance with debonding of TRM. Displacements of beams were calculated at the three state and load-displacement curves by predicted results were compared to the collected test results.
Dynamic numerical simulation of pile-supported slab track system embedded in a soft soil and embankment was performed. 3D model was formulated in a time domain to consider the non-linearity of soil by utilizing FLAC 3D, which is a finite difference method program. Soil non-linearity was simulated by adopting the hysteric damping model and liner elements, which could consider soil-pile interface. The long period seismic loads, Hachinohe type strong motions, were applied for estimating seismic respose of the system, Parametric study was carried out by changing subsoil layer profile, embankment height and seismic loading conditions. The most of horizontal permanent displacement was initiated by slope failure. Increase of the embedded height and thickness of the soft soil layer leads increase of member forces of PHC piles; bending moment, and axial force. Finally, basic guidelines for designing pile-supported slab track system under seismic loading are recommended based on the analysis results.
해양환경의 극한 환경조건에 노출 된 고정식 및 부유식 해양구조물의 안전성과 설계비용 효율성에 있어서 파랑-구조물 상 호작용의 정확한 예측은 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 규칙파 중 원형 기둥에 대한 파랑-구조물 상호작용을 해석하였다. 3차원 이상유동 (two-phase flow)을 해석하기 위해 오픈소스 전산유체역학 라이브러리인 오픈폼을 사용하였다. 4개의 원형기둥이 정사각형 배열을 이루 고 있을 때 규칙파의 입사각도에 따른 상호작용을 해석하였다. 원형 기둥 구조물에서의 wave run-up을 입사파의 기울기에 따라 비교하 였다. 원형 기둥과 입사파의 상호작용으로 인해 원형 기둥 사이에 높은 파가 생성되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 해석 결과는 구조물과 입 사파의 상호작용에 의한 air gap에 대한 연구의 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
PURPOSES :In this paper, the flow of construction material was simulated using computational fluid dynamics in a 2D axisymmetric condition to evaluate the effect of initial or varying material properties on the final shape of a specimen.METHODS :The CFD model was verified by using a well-known analytical solution for a given test condition followed by performing a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the effect of material properties on the final shape of material. Varying dynamic viscosity and yield stress were also considered.RESULTS :The CFD model in a 2D axisymmetric condition agreed with the analytical solution for most yield stress conditions. Minor disagreements observed at high yield stress conditions indicate improper application of the pure shear assumption for the given material behavior. It was also observed that the variation of yield stress and dynamic viscosity during curing had a meaningful effect on the final shape of the specimen.CONCLUSIONS :It is concluded that CFD modeling in a 2D axisymmetric condition is good enough to evaluate fluidal characteristics of material. The model is able to consider varying yield stress and viscosity during curing. The 3D CFD-DEM coupled model may be required to consider the interaction of aggregates in fluid.
