고속도로 터널 구간은 일반 도로에 비해 사고 발생 빈도와 심각도가 높으며, 특히 터널 내에서 발생하는 사고나 공사와 같은 돌발 상황은 대기 행렬을 유발해 후미 추돌 위험을 증가시킨다. 본 연구에서는 운전자가 돌발 상황 지점에 접근할 때 선제적으로 대응할 수 있도록, Driving Simulator를 활용하여 다양한 정보를 제공하는 터널 내 교통관리 시스템의 효과를 분석하였다. 분석 대상은 차로 변 경 유도, 속도 감소 유도, 돌발 상황 안내로 구성된 세 가지 교통관리 시스템의 개별 효과와 이들의 통합 운영이 터널의 안전성과 운 영 효율성에 미치는 영향을 포함하였다. 분석 결과, 세 가지 교통관리 시스템을 통해 터널 내 평균 통행 속도가 증가하였으며, 돌발 상황 발생 지점에서 차량의 차로 변경과 감속이 선제적으로 이루어지고 급감속 횟수가 현저히 감소하였다. 본 연구는 터널 내 돌발 상황 발생 시 다양한 정보를 제공함으로써 터널의 안전성과 교통흐름을 개선할 수 있음을 입증하였으며, 특히 여러 시스템을 통합적 으로 운영할 때 그 효과가 극대화됨을 Surrogate Safety Measure를 통해 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 향후 터널 교통관리에서 단일 시스 템의 기능만을 고려하기보다는, 다양한 교통관리 시스템 간 상호작용을 고려해야 함을 시사한다.

서울시의 대표적인 대중교통 수단인 도시철도를 이용하는 승객 수는 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 출 퇴근시간대에 열차 내의 혼잡뿐만 아니라 역사내의 혼잡까지 이어져 안전사고가 발생하기도 한다. 본 연구는 역사에서 발생되는 보행흐름의 위험 여부를 판단하기 위해 도로의 교통류에서 활용되고 있는 vehicle accumulation과 travel time 간의 elliptic bivarate relationship을 적용하였다. 또한 보행흐름과 교통류의 혼잡발생 과정을 비교하여 차이점을 규명하였다. 본 연구에서는 도시철도 역사내 CCTV영상을 기반으로 실제 데 이터를 추출하여 역사내 통로에 발생하는 여러 보행흐름을 혼잡강도와 혼잡지속도에 따라 분류하여 비교분석하였다. 혼잡이 발생하는 여러 역의 첨두, 비첨두, 주말등 다양한 시간대의 CCTV 영상을 확보하였고, ByteTrack 방식을 활용하여 객체를 검지하였다. 검지된 보 행흐름을 강도, 지속도에 따라 분류하고 보행 누적량과 평균통행시간을 산출하여 비교분석하였다. 또한, elliptic bivarate relationship의 형태가 교통류와는 어떠한 차이점이 있는지를 규명하고 보행에서의 위험 상황 여부를 그래프를 통해 확인하였다. 분석 결과, 혼잡발생 강도가 높을수록 그래프 타원의 장축이 길게 나타났고, 보도유효폭이 클수록 타원의 기울기가 낮게 나타났다. 또한, 사람들의 평균보 행속도가 클수록 타원이 낮게 위치하였다. 마지막으로 흐름이 바로 해소되지 않고 지속되는 보행흐름의 경우, 일반적인 타원형태에서 우측부분에 타원이 추가로 형성됨을 확인하였다. 교통류와 비교한 결과, 차량의 경우 교통량에 따라 속도가 일정하게 나타나지만, 보 행의 경우 보행량과 속도의 관계가 비교적 불분명하였다.

Air flow field characteristics in a compact chamber system are indispensable for the efficient development of vehicle aerodynamic performance. In this study, air flow and velocity uniformity in the chamber system were numerically analyzed using the CFD method. Air flows at a uniform velocity from the outlet of the blower, passes fast through the heat exchanger with partial pressure difference, and then moves into the blower inlet. Overall pressure drop through the fan gradually increases with the flow rate. The uniformity varies along the test section, decreasing by 5-10% with distance from the nozzle. These predicted results can be widely used as basic conceptual design data for an efficient vehicle chamber system.

In this study, a numerical analysis study was conducted on the flow characteristics according to the internal flow path change and differential pressure of the hydrogen shut-off valve, and through this, the pressure loss characteristics and flow coefficient of the hydrogen shut-off valve were predicted. ANSYS CFX program was used to predict the flow characteristics of the hydrogen shut-off valve. When the flow path gap was 1.3 mm, the design conditions of the hydrogen shut-off valve were satisfied, and the value of the flow coefficient of the valve was about 1.53. As the inlet pressure of the hydrogen shut-off valve increases, the outlet flow rate increases, but regardless of the inlet pressure, the flow coefficient of the valve is almost constant, ranging from 1.53 to 1.56, indicating that it is the inherent flow coefficient of the designed hydrogen shut-off valve.

Passengers on public buses operating in the metropolitan area are exposed to the closed indoor air for minutes to hours. The indoor air quality of buses is mostly controlled through ceiling-mounted ventilation and filtration devices. A simulation study using a commercial code was conducted for fluid flow analysis to evaluate the potential effectiveness of an air purifier that can be inserted into bus windows to supply clean air from the outside to the inside. As a result of field measurements, the average CO2 concentration inside the bus during morning and evening rush hours ranged from 2,106±309 ppm to 3,308 ± 255 ppm depending on the number of passengers on board. This exceeded the Guideline for Public Transportation. The optimal installation position of an air purifier appeared to be the front side of the bus. In fact, even a low diffusing flow velocity of 0.5m/s was effective enough to maintain a low concentration of CO2 throughout the indoor space. Based on numerical analysis predictions with 45 passengers on board, the maximum CO2 concentration in the breathing zone was 2,203 ppm with the operation of an air purifier.

Nuclear power generation is expected to be enlarged for domestic electricity supply based on the 10th Basic Plan of Long-Term Electricity Supply and Demand. However, the issues on the disposal of spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste has not been solved. KBS-3 concept of the deep geological disposal and pyroprocessing has been investigated as options for disposal and treatment way of spent nuclear fuel. In other way, the radionuclide management process with 6 scenarios are devised combining chlorination treatment and alternative disposal methods for the efficient disposal of spent nuclear fuel. Various scenarios will be considered and comprehensively optimized by evaluation on many aspects, such as waste quantity, radiotoxicity, economy and so on. Level 0 to 4 were identified with the specialized nuclide groups: Level 0 (NFBC, Hull), Level 1 (Long-lived, volatile nuclides), Level 2 (High heat emitting nuclides), Level 3 (TRU/RE), Level 4 (U). The 6 options (Op.1 to 6) were proposed with the differences between scenarios, for examples, phase types of wastes, the isolated nuclide groups, chlorination process sequences. Op.1 adopts Level 0 and 1 to separate I, Tc, Se, C, Cs nuclides which are major concerns for long-term disposal through heat treatment. The rest of spent nuclear fuel will be disposed as oxide form itself. Op.2 contains Sr separation process using chlorination by MgCl2 and precipitation by K2CO3to alleviate the burden of heat after heat treatment process. U/TRU/RE will be remained and disposed in oxide form. Op.3 is set to pyroprocessing as reference method, but residual TRU/RE chlroides after electrorefining will be recovered as precipitates by K3PO4. Op.4 introduces NH4Cl to chlorinate TRU/RE from oxides after Op.2 applied and precipitates them. TRU/RE/Sr will be simultaneously chlorinated by NH4Cl without MgCl2 in Op.5. Then, chlorinated Sr and TRU/RE groups will be separated by post-chlorination process for disposal. But, chlorinated Sr and TRU/RE are designed not to be divided in disposal steps in Op.6. In this study, the mass flow analysis of radionuclide management process scenarios with updated process variables are performed. The amount and composition of wastes by types will be addressed in detail.

In general, systems are developed by repeatedly performing the processes of design, analysis, manufacturing, and performance testing. In particular, systems with temperature, pressure, and flow rate often utilize computational fluid dynamics tools at the design stage. In this paper, we aim to verify the reliability of the analysis results of Solidworks Flow Simulation, which is widely used in heat flow analysis at the design stage. A tube furnace was manufactured, various experiments were performed, and a study was conducted to compare the analysis results. The details of the experiment are as follows. First, an experiment was conducted in which the heater was heated to 900°C without insulating the exposed part of the tube. The detailed contents of the experiment are as follows; - Heating heater and measuring temperature without supplying flow inside the tube, - Tube flow supply (25°C, 15 lpm air) and heater heating/temperature measurement. Second, an experiment was performed in which the exposed part of the tube was insulated (thickness 50 mm) and the heater was heated to 900°C. The detailed contents of the experiment are as follows; - Insulate the outside of the tube except for the flanges at both ends of the tube, and heat the heater and measure the temperature without supplying flow inside the tube. - Insulate the outside of the tube except for the flanges at both ends of the tube, supply flow rate inside the tube (25°C, 15 lpm air) and measure heater heating/temperature. - Insulate the flange of the flow supply section, heat the heater and measure temperature without supplying flow inside the tube. - Insulate the flange of the flow supply section, heat the supply air (277°C, 15 lpm) and measure the temperature using a heating gun without heating the heater. - Insulate the flange of the flow supply section, supply heated air (277°C, 15 lpm) and measure heater heating/temperature. - Insulate the flange of the flow supply section and measure temperature according to heater heating (900°C) and supply temperature (25°C, 277°C 15 lpm). The following results were derived from the experimental and analysis results. - When the exposed part of the tube is insulated, the temperature inside the tube increases and the steady-state power decreases compared to non-insulated. - In areas with insulation, the temperature error between experiment and analysis results is not large. - When flow rate is supplied, there is a large temperature error in experiment and analysis results. - The temperature change after the center of the heater is not large for a temperature change of 15 lpm flow rate. From these results, it can be seen that Solidworks Flow Simulation has a significant difference from the experimental results when there is a flow rate in the tube. This was thought to be because the flow rate acts as a disturbance, and this cannot be sufficiently accounted for in the analysis. In the future, we plan to check whether there is a way to solve this problem.

In electric vehicles, the core is a secondary cell battery. Raw material is pulverized by the grinding disc in the Classifier Separator Mill (CSM) and rises through the Classifier Wheel. Both require characteristics to withstand high-speed rotation, including abrasion, corrosion, and shock. Our study analyzes the impact of RPM and heat source on temperature, convergence, and durability. In conclusion, high heat increases flow, while high RPM reduces the maximum temperature but may harm durability. Proper RPM settings enhance durability.

In this study, numerical analysis was performed for the purpose of analyzing the flow characteristics and performance according to the change in the inflow hydrogen temperature and differential pressure of the receptacle of the hydrogen charging system. The pressure distribution and turbulent kinetic energy in the filter area were analyzed by changing the outlet pressure condition under the inlet hydrogen temperature condition, and the flow velocity change at the outlet was compared and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, as the differential pressure decreased, the flow rate at the outlet of the receptacle decreased by up to about 70% at the 2.86 MPa condition compared to the 1.86 MPa condition, and the mass flow rate decreased by about 56.5% at the maximum. It was found that the standard CV performance was not satisfied when the differential pressure at the inlet and outlet was 1.12 MPa or less under the 363K temperature condition.

As a result of the study, a leveling shaft with a spiral flow path is likely to improve fluid properties around the orifice and inlet valve under compression conditions, and it is judged to have a development application effect.

소음공해는 인간과 해양환경에 악영향을 끼치며, 선박과 해양구조물에서 발생하는 유동소음을 예측을 통해 소음에 대한 안전 성을 평가하고 해양환경을 보존할 수 있다. 기존 수중구조 유동소음 해석기법은 전산유체역학과 FW-H음향상사식을 이용한 하이브리드법 기반이다. FW-H는 무한공간에서의 음향전파를 가정하여 소음해석을 수행하기 때문에 음파의 반사와 산란, 회절의 영향이 나타나는 근접 장 해석이 제한적이다. 반면 격자볼츠만기법 기반의 직접법 유동소음해석을 수행하면 근접장 음향효과를 소음해석에 반영할 수 있다. 직 접법 해석은 유동과 소음이 연성된 해석이 수행되고 구조경계에서의 반사와 회절, 유동에 의한 매질 불균일성에 따른 산란효과가 반영된 다. 그간 격자볼츠만기법이 수중조건에서 수치적으로 불안정하여 수중환경에 적용이 불가능했다. 하지만 수중환경에서 사용할 수 있는 DM-TS 격자볼츠만기법 충돌연산자가 개발되어 수중으로 확장이 가능해졌다. 본 연구에서는 파이프내 원형구멍에 대하여 격자볼츠만기 법 해석을 수행해 수중 유동소음해석이 가능함을 보였다. 격자볼츠만기법 해석을 통해 도출한 유동과 소음을 각각 실험과 비교하여 해석 의 신뢰도를 확보하였다. 파이프내 유동소음에 의한 주요 압력 피크가 해석에 반영되었으며 이를 통해 격자볼츠만기법을 이용한 근접장 유동소음해석이 가능함을 확인했다.

The purpose of flow analysis is to develop a simple CFD analysis model to develop a heat transfer analysis model including transient heat transfer characteristics, especially phase change, of thin film evaporators. The simple analytical model focuses on the evaporation phase change. To reduce the computational cost, the shape was simplified to two dimensions, and the simulation time was set short with a focus on simulating the phase change phenomenon. In the future, based on this analysis model, we will develop an analysis model for simulating not only vaporization but also liquefaction, that is, transient distillation phenomenon, according to the shape of the thin film distillation device.

Geologic disposal at deep depth is an acceptable way to dispose of high-level radioactive waste and isolate it from the biosphere. The geological repository system comprises an engineered barrier system (EBS) and the host rock. The system aims to delay radionuclide migration through groundwater flow, and also, the flow affects the saturation of the bentonite in the EBS. The thermal conductivity of bentonite is a function of saturation, so the temperature in the EBS is directly related to the flow system. High-temperature results in the two-phase flow, and the two-phase flow system also affects the flow system. Therefore, comprehending the influencing parameters on the flow system is critical to ensure the safety of the disposal system. Various studies have been performed to figure out the complex two-phase flow characteristics, and numerical simulation is considered an effective way to predict the coupled behavior. DECOVALEX (DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against EXperiments) is one of the most famous international cooperating projects to develop numerical methods for thermo-hydro-mechanicalchemical interaction, and Task C in the DECOVALEX-2023 has the purpose of simulating the Fullscale Emplacement (FE) experiment at the Mont-Terri underground research laboratory. We used OGS-FLAC, a self-developed numerical simulator combining OpenGeoSys and FLAC3D, for the simulation and targeted to analyze the effecting parameters on the two-phase flow system. We focused on the parameters of bentonite, a key component of the disposal system, and analyzed the effect of compressibility and air entry pressure on the flow system. Compressibility is a parameter included in the storage term, defining the fluid storage capacity of the medium. While air entry pressure is a crucial value of the water retention curve, defining the relation between saturation and capillary pressure. From a series of sensitivity analyses, low compressibility resulted in faster flow due to low storage term, while low air entry pressure slowed flow inflow into the bentonite. Low air entry pressure means the air easily enters the medium; hence the flow rate becomes lower based on the relativity permeability definition. Based on the sensitivity analysis, we further investigate the effect of shotcrete around the tunnel and excavation damaged zone. Also, long-term analysis considering heat decay of the radioactive waste will be considered in future studies.

Since 1992, various numerical codes, such as TOUGH-FLAC and ROCMAS, have been developed and validated to dispose of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) safely through a series of DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against EXperiments (DECOVALEX) projects. These codes have been developed using different approaches, such as general two-phase flow and Richards’ flow which is an approximated approach neglecting gas pressure change, to implement the same multiphysics behaviors. However, the quantitative analysis for numerical results, which originated from different fundamental approaches, has not been conducted accurately. As a result, improper utilization of the approach to analyze certain conditions occurring such as dramatic gas pressure change may result in erroneous outcomes and systemic problem pertaining to TH analysis. In this study, the quantitative analysis of the two approaches, in terms of TH behavior, was conducted by comparing them with a 1D simulation of the CTF1 experiment carried out by laboratory experiment. The results calculated by different approaches show agreement in terms of TH behaviors and material properties change until 120°C. The results verify the applicability of Richards’ flow approach in a high temperature environment above the current thermal criteria, set as 100°C, and gas pressure change does not have a significant impact until 120°C. Therefore, although further studies for applicability of Richards’ flow are needed to suggest the appropriate temperature range, these quantitative analyses may contribute to the performance assessment of a compact repository using the high-temperature bentonite concept, which is currently gaining attention.

The shell & tube-type heat exchanger has been frequently used because it shows simple structure, easy manufacturing and wide operation conditions among many heat exchangers. This study aims to investigate the characteristics for thermal flow of coolant and the possibility of damage for tube equipped with shell due to thermal stress. For these purposes, The thermal flow of coolant in tube was simulated using ANSYS-CFX program and thus the behaviors of coolant were evaluated with standard k-ε turbulence model. As the results, as the flow rate of coolant in tube was increased, the mean relative pressure was also increased with quadratic curve, however, as the surface temperature of tube was increased, mean temperature difference was linearly increased. Finally it showed that the damage of tube could be predicted, that is, which tube was the most weak due to thermal stress.
