Magnesium alloy is the lightest practical metal. It has excellent specific strength and recyclability as well as abundant reserves, and is expected to be a next-generation structural metal material following aluminum alloy. This paper investigated the possibility of thin plate fabrication by applying a overheating treatment to the melt drag method, and investigating the surface shape of the thin plate, grain size, grain size distribution, and Vickers hardness. When the overheating treatment was applied to magnesium alloy, the grains were refined, so it is expected that further refinement of grains can be realized if the overheating treatment is applied to the melt drag method. By applying overheating treatment, it was possible to fabricate a thin plate of magnesium alloy using the melt drag method, and a microstructure with a minimum grain size of around 12 μm was obtained. As the overheating treatment temperature increased, void defects increased on the roll surface of the thin plate, and holding time had no effect on the surface shape of the thin plate. The fabricated thin plate showed uniform grain size distribution. When the holding times were 0 and 30 min, the grain size was refined, and the effect of the holding time became smaller as the overheating treatment temperature increased. As the overheating temperature becomes higher, the grain size becomes finer, and the finer the grain size is, the higher the Vickers hardness.

AZ31 magnesium alloy was used to manufacture a thin plate using a melt drag method. The effects of roll speed, molten metal temperature, and molten metal height, which are the basic factors of the melt drag method, on the surface shape, the thickness of the thin plate, Vickers hardness, and microstructure of the thin plate were investigated. It was possible to manufacture AZ31 magnesium alloy thin plate at the roll speed range of 1 to 90 m/min. The thickness of the thin plate, manufactured while changing only the roll speed, was about 1.8 to 8.8 mm. The shape of the solidified roll surface was affected by two conditions, the roll speed and the molten metal height, and the Vickers hardness of the manufactured magnesium alloy thin plate value ranged from Hv38~Hv60. The microstructure of the thin plate produced by this process was an equiaxed crystal and showed a uniform grain size distribution. The grain size was greatly affected by the contact state between the molten metal and the solidification roll, and the amount of reactive solids and liquids scraped at the same time as the thin plate. The average grain size of the thin plate fabricated in the range of these experimental conditions changed to about 50-300 μm.

To improve the shortcomings and expand the advantages of the single-roll melt drag method, which is a type of continuous strip casting method, the melt drag method with a molding belt is applied to AZ31 magnesium alloy. By attaching the forming belt to the melt drag method, the cooling condition of the thin plate is improved, making it possible to manufacture thin plates even at high roll speed of 100 m/min or more. In addition, it is very effective for continuous production of thin plates to suppress oxidation of the molten metal on the roll contact surface by selecting the protective gas. As a result of investigating the relationship between the contact time between the molten metal and the roll and the thickness of the sheet, it is possible to estimate the thickness of the sheet from the experimental conditions. The relationship between the thin plate thickness and the grain size is one in which the thinner the thin plate is, the faster the cooling rate of the thin plate is, resulting in finer grain size. The contact state between the molten metal and the roll greatly affects the grain size, and the minimum average grain size is 72 μm. The thin plate produced using this experimental equipment can be rolled, and the rolled sample has no large cracks. The tensile test results show a tensile strength of 303 MPa.

An investigation is performed to clarify the manufacturing conditions of pure magnesium and AZ31 magnesium alloy thin plate using the melt drag method. By the melt drag method, suitable for magnesium molten metal, pure magnesium can be produced as a continuous thin plate with a thickness of 1.4 mm to 2.4 mm in the range of 5 m/min to 20 m/min of roll speed, and the width of the thin plate to the nozzle outlet width. AZ31 magnesium alloy is able to produce a continuous sheet of thickness in the range of 5 m/min to 30 m/min in roll circumferential speed, with a thickness of 0.6 mm to 1.6 mm and a width of the sheet matching the nozzle outlet width. In the magnesium melt drag method, the faster the circumferential speed of the roll, the shorter the contact time between the molten metal and the roll, and it is found that the thickness of the produced thin plate becomes thinner. The effect of the circumferential roll speed on the thickness of the thin plate is evident in the low roll circumferential region, where the circumferential speed is 30 m/min or less. The AZ31 thin plate manufactured by the melt drag method has a finer grain size as the thickness of the thin plate decreases, but it is currently judged that this is not the effect of cooling by the roll.

The production of turbulence near a wall is the governing mechanism of the turbulent drag from external flow around bodies and in internal flows involving turbulence. The pocket is closely associated with the occurrence of the large Reynolds stress producing motions, and therefore implicitly involved with the turbulence production process. Within the wall region, hot-wire measurements show that a strong vortex forms within the pockets. This vortex is the rearrangement of existing sublayer vorticity and its amplification. The work in this area has been applied to the prediction and reduction of drag. The study is focused on the time scale of the pockets. The relationship between pocket time scale and modified wall has been found. By changing the upstream boundary condition at the wall the time scale of pockets were increased.

The flow-surface interaction and resulting pockets is the case of a turbulence boundary layer. Conditionally sampled hot-wire measurements within the wall region show that a strong vortex forms within the pocket, bordering the upstream portion, which stay in the wall region. This vortex is the result of the rearrangement of existing sublayer vorticity and its amplification. The work in this area has been applied to the prediction and reduction of drag. The study is focused on determining change in the length scale of the pockets. An important relationship between pocket and modified wall has been found. By changing the upstream boundary condition at the wall, the length scale of pockets were decreased.

저자는 기존의 연구에서 대용량-비선형성을 가지는 유체의 최적화를 수행하기 위해 몇 가지 강력한 방법들을 제시한 바 있다. 즉, 최적화 과정에서 수렴성을 높이기 위해 step by step기법을 사용하였고, 또한 수렴속도를 높이기 위하여 최적화이터레이션 과정에서 얻어지는 민감도정보를 이용하여 시스템 평형방정식의 해석을 위한 좋은 초기치를 제공하는 방법과, 평형방정식을 구속조건으로 사용하는 동시기법(simultaneous technique)에서 착안하여 해석과 최적화 수렴 판정치를 조작하는 방법을 제시한 바 있다. 그러나 그들 기법은 기본적으로 유사뉴턴법에 기본을 두고 있다. 현재까지 최적화에서 SQP기법을 사용할 때는 정확한 헤시안 매트릭스의 유도가 매우 까다롭고 힘들기 때문에 유사뉴턴법을 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 3차원 문제와 같이 더욱 큰 용량의 문제를 위해서는 진정한 의미에서의 뉴턴법, 트루 뉴턴법(true Newton method)을 사용할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 트루 뉴턴법을 사용하기 위해 헤시안 매트릭스의 정확치를 얻는 과정을 유도하고 이를 기본으로 트루 뉴턴법을 이용한 최적화 루틴을 만들었다. 그리고 이를 3차원 문제에 적용하여 그 효과를 검증하였다.

본 연구의 최종 목적은 유체가 빠른 속도로 가해지는 물체의 경계면에서 흡입(suction) 혹은 방출(injection)을 통해 유체를 제어함으로 드래그(drag)를 감소하고자 하는 것이다. 그러나 유체는 대용량, 비선형성을 가지고 있어서 직접적인 해석은 물론, 최적화를 적용한다는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 이를 위해 우리는 새로운 알고리즘과 기법들을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 이 기법들에 대한 검증을 하고, 나아가 최적화 기법을 사용하여 드래그를 감소하기 위해 흡입량과 방출량을 구하였다. 그리고 이 흡입과 방출을 가할 수 있는 구멍의 수와 위치에 따른 변화를 알아보았다. 본 연구에서 개발된 알고리즘과 기법들을 사용하였을 경우, 기존에는 해결 할 수도 없었던 문제를 가능하게 만들었으며, 기존에 저자가 1차로 개발한 바 있는 방법에 비해서도 더욱 효과적이라는 것을 입증하였다. 그리고 드래그 감소라는 차원에서 본다면 흡입과 방출을 가할 수 있는 구멍의 숫자가 많을수록 효과가 높으나 그다지 많은 수를 필요로 하지 않는다는 것을 알게 되었으며, 구멍의 위치는 유체의 경계층이 분리되는 약간 아래가 가장 최적의 위치라는 것을 알게 되었다.

바람에 저항하는 초고층 건물, 비행기나 자동차, 물에 저항하는 선박 등은 동일한 거동을 보여준다. 즉, 유속이 빨라 질경우, 건물 혹은 비행기, 자동차, 선박 뒤편에는 마이너스 압력과 와류가 발생하게 되는데 이로 인해 건물에서는 변위가 크게 발생하게 되고, 비행기나 자동차, 선박 등에서는 속력이 저하된다. 본 연구에서는 흡입과 방출이라는 기법을 이용하여 유체의 흐름을 우리가 원하는대로 적극적으로 제어하고자 한다. 그렇게 할 수만 있다면 초고층 건물에서의 변위를 대폭 줄일 수 있을 것이고, 자동차나 비행기 선박 등은 더 빠른 속도로 달릴 수 있을 것이다. 그렇다면 문제는 유체를 제어하기 위한 최적의 흡입 혹은 방출량을 구하는 것이고, 이 최적의 양들을 어떤 방법으로 구하는 것이냐 하는 것이다. 본 연구는 최적화 기법을 사용하여 Navier-Stokes 유체를 받는 물체의 표면에서 최적의 흡입, 그리고 방출량을 결정하려는 시도에서 출발하였다. 그러나 이 문제는 큰 Reynols Number 상태에서는 높은 비선형성으로 인하여 직접 한번에 Navier-Stokes 유체의 해석조차 불가능하였고, 더군다나 너무나 많은 변수로 인하여 기존의 방법으로는 최적화는 도저히 불가능 하였다. 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위한 최적화 알고리즘을 제안하고, 또한 수렴속도도 대폭 증가시키기 위한 매우 효율적인 몇 가지 방법들을 제안하였다.
