For study on the unsteady wall interference effect, flows around a circular cylinder in closed test-section wind tunnels have been numerically investigated by solving compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical scheme is based on a node-based finite-volume method with the Roe's flux-difference splitting and an implicit time-integration method coupled with dual time-step sub-iteration. The computed results showed that the unsteady pressure gradient over the cylinder is enhanced by the wall interference, and as a result the fluctuations of lift and drag are augmented. The drag is further increased because of the lower base pressure. The vortex shedding frequency is also increased by the wall interference. The pressure on the test section wall shows the harmonics having the shedding frequency contained in the wall effect.

The stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) describes a method of delivering a high dose of radiation to a small tar-get volume in the brain, generally in a single fraction, while the dose delivered to the surrounding normal tissue should be minimized. To perform automatic plan of the SRS, a new method of multi-isocenter/shot linear accelerator (linac) and gamma knife (GK) radiosurgery treatment plan was developed, based on a physical lattice structure in target. The optimal radiosurgical plan had been constructed by many beam parameters in a linear accelerator or gamma knife-based radiation therapy. In this work, an isocenter/shot was modeled as a sphere, which is equal to the circular collimator/helmet hole size because the dimension of the 50% isodose level in the dose profile is similar to its size. In a computer-aided system, it accomplished first an automatic arrangement of multi-isocenter/shot considering two parameters such as positions and collimator/helmet sizes for each isocenter/shot. Simultaneously, an irregularly shaped target was approximated by cubic structures through computation of voxel units. The treatment planning method by the technique was evaluated as a dose distribution by dose volume histograms, dose conformity, and dose homogeneity to targets. For irregularly shaped targets, the new method performed optimal multi-isocenter packing, and it only took a few seconds in a computer-aided system. The targets were included in a more than 50% isodose curve. The dose conformity was ordinarily acceptable levels and the dose homogeneity was always less than 2.0, satisfying for various targets referred to Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) SRS criteria. In conclusion, this approach by physical lattice structure could be a useful radiosurgical plan without restrictions in the various tumor shapes and the different modality techniques such as linac and GK for SRS.

이상기상현상의 발생횟수가 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 기상 예측은 국가 재난 관리에 중요한 요소로써 부상하고 있다. 계절예측 또한 재난관리의 한 부분으로, 농업, 에너지, 수자원 그리고 공공보건 등 다양한 분야에서 잠재적 위험을 파악하는데 도움이 되는 보조 자료로 활용이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 ICON(ICOsahedral-Nonhydrostatic) 모델을 이용하여 2015년 여름철(JJA) 강수를 예측하였다. 2015년은 장마기간을 포함한 여름철 동안 평년대비 약 절반수준(54%)에 그치는 비가 내렸으며, 태풍으로 인한 강수량도 적어 연 강수량이 평년대비 72%로 역대 최저 3위를 기록하였다. 지역별로 보면 제주도와 남해안 지방을 제외한 대부분 지방에서 강수량이 적게 나타났으며, 수도권을 중심으로는 60% 미만의 강수량을 보였다. ICON 모델은 독일 기상청(DWD)과 막스플랑크 연구소(MPI-M)에서 공동 개발하여 현업 운영중인 전 지구 모델로 비정역학 코어를 사용한다. 전 지구를 정 20면체의 삼각형으로 격자화 시켜 모든 격자의 크기가 동일하고, 극점은 1개의 꼭짓점으로 구성되어 CFL(Courant-Friderich-Lewy) 문제가 해소될 수 있다. 또한 hybrid의 병렬구조를 사용하여 전산사용 효율성을 극대화 하는 특징이 있다. 강수의 계절 예측 수행 과정은 다음과 같다. 우선, 계절예측 자료 분석 시 활용할 ICON모델의 기후값을 생산하기 위해 30년(1980년~2009년)간의 AMIP기반 규준실험을 수행한다. 다음으로, SST와 Sea ice의 평년대비 현재 변동량을 계산하고, 이 자료는 모델 적분을 수행할 때 경계 자료로서 활용하게 된다. 계절 예측은 시간 지연기법(Time-lagged method)를 이용한 앙상블예측으로 수행하며, 예측하고자 하는 계절이 시작하기 약 1개원 이전부터 1일 간격으로 전 지구 모델의 초기자료를 다르게 선택하여 총 10개의 앙상블 멤버를 구성한다. 모델의 해상도는 수평 40km, 수직 90개 층으로 구성하였으며, 적분이 완료되면 AMIP기반 실험을 통해 모의된 기후값을 토대로 예측된 계절전망 자료의 변동성을 분석한다.

The DTM(Digital Terrain Model) in GIS(Geographical Information System) shows the elevation from interpolation using data points surveyed. In panoramic flat landform, pixel size, resolution of source data may not be the problem in using DTM However, in mountainous landform like Korea, appropriate resolution accuracy of source data are important factors to represent the topography concerned. In this study, the difference in contour interval of source data, the resolution after interpolation, and different data structures were compared to figure out the accuracy of slope calculation using DTM from the topographic maps of Togyusan National Park Two types of GIS softwares, Idrisi(grid) ver. 2.0 using the altitude matrices and ArcView(TIN) ver. 3.0a using TIN were used for this purpose. After the analysis the conclusions are as follows: 1) The coarser resolution, the more smoothing effect inrepresenting the topography. 2) The coarser resolution the more difference between the grid-based Idrisi and the TIN-based ArcView. 3) Based on the comparison analysis of error for 30 points from clustering, there is not much difference among 10, 20, 30 m resolution in TIM-based Airview ranging from 4.9 to 6.2n However, the coarser resolution the more error for elevation and slope in the grid-based Idrisi. ranging from 6.3 to 10.9m. 4) Both Idrisi and ArcView could net consider breaklines of lanform like hilltops, valley bottoms.

In this paper, we propose a post-processing method through interpolation of hole regions that occur when extracting point clouds. When image matching is performed on stereo image data, holes occur due to occlusion and building façade area. This area may become an obstacle to the creation of additional products based on the point cloud in the future, so an effective processing technique is required. First, an initial point cloud is extracted based on the disparity map generated by applying stereo image matching. We transform the point cloud into a grid. Then a hole area is extracted due to occlusion and building façade area. By repeating the process of creating Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) triangle in the hall area and processing the inner value of the triangle as the minimum height value of the area, it is possible to perform interpolation without awkwardness between the building and the ground surface around the building. A new point cloud is created by adding the location information corresponding to the interpolated area from the grid data as a point. To minimize the addition of unnecessary points during the interpolation process, the interpolated data to an area outside the initial point cloud area was not processed. The RGB brightness value applied to the interpolated point cloud was processed by setting the image with the closest pixel distance to the shooting center among the stereo images used for matching. It was confirmed that the shielded area generated after generating the point cloud of the target area was effectively processed through the proposed technique.

This study proposes a new methodology for quantitative rock classification in unsampled rock zone, which occupies the most of tunnel design area. This methodology is to train an ANN (artificial neural network) by using results from a drilling investigation combined with electric resistivity survey in sampled zone, and then apply the trained ANN to making a prediction of grade of rock classification in unsampled zone. The prediction is made at the center point of a shifting window by using a number of electric resistivity values within the window as input reference information. The ANN training in this study was carried out by the RPROP (Resilient backpropagation) training algorithm and Early-Stopping method for achieving a generalized training. The proposed methodology is then applied to generate a rock grade distribution on a real tunnel site where drilling investigation and resistivity survey were undertaken. The result from the ANN based prediction is compared with one from a conventional kriging method. In the comparison, the proposed ANN method shows a better agreement with the electric resistivity distribution obtained by field survey. And it is also seen that the proposed method produces a more realistic and more understandable rock grade distribution.

In the Seoul Metropolitan City, the PM(pariculate matter) application used by the citizens provides the PM concentration of the nearest monitoring stations located on the PM monitoring stations. Currently, the selecting method of the PM monitoring network considered by the Ministry of Environment is based on considering the monitoring station distribution and population density only. In this study, we analyzed the distance between PM monitoring station and the administrative center point in addition to the above considerations. The number of test sites was verified and the range of coverage of each monitoring stations was indicated by using the Voronoi algorithm and hexagon grid. The spatial position problem of the PM monitoring station was suggested by spatial data analysis. The variables of spatial data analysis are single-family houses, apartments, $1^{st}$ class neighborhood, $2^{nd}$ class neighborhood, garbage disposal plant, hazardous material disposal facility, factory, and the density map. The analysis result of the selection criterion considering the additional variables for new PM monitoring stations was presented, in addition to the selection criteria provided by the Ministry of Environment.

This study suggests new synthetic unit hydrograph method considering hydrodynamic characteristic on the basin. The suggested method based on width function GIUH, and the procedure is summarized as follows; 1) Draw up a travel distance distribution map (width function) which is raster of length between from center of individual cells to the outlet by GIS. 2) Calculation of travel time distribution map (rescaled width function) by hydrodynamic parameters and travel distance distribution map. 3) Derivation of IUH and Duration UH from rescaled width function. 4) Comparison of shape of UH between suggested method and existing synthetic unit hydrograph methods. The target basins are selected Ipyeong and Tanbu subwatershed in the Bocheong Basin. The target basins are similar scale (watershed area), but different drainage structure (drainage density et al.). Therefore we anticipate that there are different hydrologic response functions because different hydrodynamic characteristics. As a result of derivation of UH, existing synthetic unit hydrograph methods are similar shape of UHs about Ipyeong and Tanbu watersheds, but the suggested method is different shape of ones. As a result of application to observed data, the peak discharge by suggested method is similar to existing synthetic unit hydrograph methods, but the peak time is well correspondence between those. Henceforth, if the suggested method combines with the rational velocity estimation method, it is useful method for synthetic of UH in ungauged watershed.
