With the rapid progress of the utilization of Information Technology (IT), IT infrastructure (network environment and information system) became crucial as a lifeline for promoting business. At the same time, changes in the circumstances surrounding the IT infrastructure globalize the threat of cyber attacks and increase the risk of the information security such as unlawful access to an information system, viral infection, an alteration of a website, disclosure of subtlety information, destruction of an information system and so on. Information security measure is an important issue in Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). In order to protect the information property of JAEA from the threat, Center for Computational Science & e-Systems (CCSE) has been taking triadic measures for information security: (1) to lay down a set of information security rules, (2) to introduce security equipments to backbone network and (3) to provide information security education. This report is a summary of the contents of the information security education by e-learning.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：49.6(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to collisions.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：44.71(Engineering, Mechanical)A multi-elbow piping system is adopted for the Japan Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR) cold-legs. Flow Induced Vibration (FIV) is considered to appear due to complex turbulent flow with very high Reynolds number in the piping. In this study, pressure measurement for a single elbow flow is conducted to elucidate pressure fluctuation characteristics originated from turbulent motion in the elbow, which lead potentially to the FIV. Two different scale models, 1/7 and 1/14-scale simulating the JSFR cold-leg piping, are tested experimentally to confirm whether a scale effect in pressure fluctuation characteristics exists. A distinguishing peak can be seen in each power spectrum density (PSD) profile of pressure fluctuation obtained in and downstream of the flow separation region for both scaled models. When nondimensionalized, the PSD profiles show good correspondence regardless of scale model and even of Reynolds number simulated in this study.

In this study, pressure measurement test is conducted to find out the FIV characteristic features related to the elbow turbulent flow, using 1/7 scale experimental loop simulating the JSFR cold leg piping. As the first step of multielbow piping, pressure measurement for single elbow was performed. The same measurement procedure was taken as a 1/15 scale experiment to assess the influence originated from the different scale flow at the same Reynolds number.

In this study, the flow structures in a 3-dimentionally connected dual elbow, which simulates a part of the cold leg, are visualized by PIV measurement, and it is discussed on the detailed flow transition from the 1st elbow to the 2nd elbow and the generation of unsteady flow such as a separation that influences flow-induced vibration. Experimental apparatus has a 1/15 scale test section of actual design whose inner diameter and curvature radius ratio are 56mm and 1.0, respectively. For visualization without any image distortion, matched refractive-index PIV measurement is carried out using NaI solution as the working fluid. The Reynolds number is 50,000, and the inlet flow condition to the test section is a fully developed turbulent flow. It is confirmed that it generates a separation along the inner wall of the 1st elbow and one large swirling flow in the 2nd elbow. Furthermore, unsteady flow formed in and/or behind the separation region is transported downstream and flows into the center area of the 2nd elbow.
