Turbulent boundary-layer over a micro-riblet film(MRF) was investigated experimentally. The MRF has sharp V-shaped micro scale grooves of $300{\mu}m$ in width and $176.8{\mu}m$ in height. Particle image velocimetry(PIV) system was employed to measure velocity fields of flow over the MRF coated plate. Flow over a smooth plate was also measured for comparison. The PIV measurements were taken in the streamwise wall-normal planes at Re$\theta$= 985 and 2342. Vortex structures of the flow were analyzed by extracting the swirling strength as an unambiguous vortex-identification criterion. As a result the number of spanwise vortices with clockwise(negative) rotation decreases rapidly in the near-wall region(y<0.2h), but decreases slowly in the outer region(0.2h

This paper proposes an image segmentation technique using watershed algorithm followed by region merging method. A gradient image is obtained by applying multiscale gradient algorithm to the image simplified by morphological filters. Since the watershed algorithm produces the oversegmented image. it is necessary to merge small segmented regions as wel]' as region having similar characteristics. For region merging. we utilize the merging criteria based on both the mean value of the pixels of each region and the edge intensities between regions obtained by the contour following process. Experimental results show that the proposed method produces meaningful image segmentation results.

In this paper the ball-on-disk type sliding tests with boundary lubricated steels were carried out to verify the relation between surface profiles and wear as well as scuffing. Three kinds of surface roughness and asperity radius were produced on AISI 1045 steels using the different processes of grinding and polishing. Frictional forces and time to scuffing were measured. Also, the shape and amount of wear particles were analyzed to compare with original profiles. From the tests, it was confirmed that the size of wear particles are very related to original surface profile. The time to failures and wear amounts were sensitive to the surface spacing. The large surface spacing shows much longer sliding life and smaller wear amount than the others. Time to scuffing was increased with increasing surface profile spacing. The sire of wear particles was increased and the amount was decreased with increasing surface profile spacing. Wear volume and wear rate K were decreased with increasing surface profile spacing. And after sliding tests, surface cracks of inner parts of the wear track occurred scuffing were observed and compared the differences about each specimen having the different surface profile spacing.

In this study, the casting process using forged insert was investigated to characterize the manufacturing process by which good mechanical properties can be obtained when compared with existing casting products. Process analysis for the casting design was performed by using FVM (Finite Volume Method) software. In pouring process, three kinds of candidate gating systems are considered and analyzed respectively. The molten metal behavior in gating system is so important that it affects the solidification behavior of the cast. The results show that as the number of gates is increased, hardness of cast was increased and gaps of cast with forged insert were decreased.

A laterally-averaged X-Z numerical model with transformed coordinates is developed to analyze the salinity dispersion in estuaries. Gravitational term, salinity variations with respect to the water depth. and re-evaluation of , salinity boundary condition are examined. Especially. the improvements in stability and accuracy of the numerical algorithm are made by adopting the fractional step method for the dispersion term of the governing equation. The model being applied to the Keum River Esturary, physical and numerical properties of Manning's n and dispersion coefficients are analyzed. Salinity intrusion into the river, influence of upstream river inflows, and salinity distribution for spring/neap tide are also examined.

In this study, the influence of the near field, far field and radiation directivity of microstrip patch antenna when is used mushroom EBG(Electromagnetic Band Gap) as ground is investigated. Using characteristic of dispersion diagram of mushroom EBG, we calculated forbidden band(2.36GHz-2.85GHz) given mushroom type EBG microstrip antenna(2.45GHz) having 2-layer EBG that is operating within forbidden band. In oder to conform performance enhancemen of antenna using EBG ground, we have compared with the antenna using PEC(Perfect Electric Conductor) ground. We could know about 2.74dB increment of the radiation directivity, because EBG can suppress surface wave that is generated at interfaces of the dielectrics-conductor.

Total temperature distribution in high speed fee & wall jet regions was investigated using the total temperature probe. For the free jet, the distance of probe from the nozzle exit is changed in the range of 1, 2, 4 and 6 times o nozzle exit diameter. Energy separation phenomenon was observed on shear layer between jet and ambient. In wall jet region, impinging plate was fixed at Z/D=2 and total temperature distribution has been measured for various radial distance($R/D=1.25\sim2.0$). Energy separation phenomenon was found at wall jet boundary and near wall, and was compared with measured adiabatic wall temperature value.

The vertical structure of atmosphere was observed In investigate the variation of surface ozone concentration by vertical downward mixing of residual ozone in the atmospheric boundary layer at the Busan coastal area. Airsonde and pilot balloon measurements were made at Gamcheondong and the Kimhae airport for April 26~27, 1996. The vertical potential of potential temperature showed a residual layer between 510m and 1800m from 2100LST April 26 to 0900LST April 27. The downward mixing of ozone in the residual layer of the atmospheric boundary layer was confirmed from vertical profile of mixing ratio near 600m in the morning. The thickness of the sea breeze layer was 900m at 1500LST April 26. Thereafter, it become to be lowered with time A low level jet was measured near 900m at 0300LST on April 27 from a pibal measurement. Early morning sharp increase of surface ozone concentration at the Busan coastal area was caused by vertical downward mixing of ozone concentration rather than by photochemical reaction In the atmospheric boundary layer.

Generally. there have been limitations to investigate structural brain abnormalities with MR images for psychiatric patients. such as schizophrenia. depression and autism, since the brain abnormalities of psychiatric Patients are too small to be detected easily. It has been suggested to exploit the result of size-comparison or analysis of specified Part in various brain tissues. Results of brain analysis highly depend on accuracy of the brain segmentation because it is hard to segment image that the boundary between tissues in the brain MRI is inherently value. In this Paper. we improve the quality of brain segmentation so that we increase the credit of brain analysis. In addition, we Provide the improved images for studying brain abnormalities through left-right insular volume measure using handy software tool .

To investigate the turbulence characteristics within the boundary layer over a flat plate, an experimental study was performed using a PIV technique in a circular water channel. For two water velocities, 0.92 and 1.99 m/s, the water velocity profiles were taken and analyzed to determine turbulent characteristics such as the Reynolds stress, Taylor micro-length scale, and Kolmogorov length scale within the defect law region of the boundary layer. These analysis methods may be applied to research on the friction drag reduction technology using micro-bubbles or an air sheet over the surface of a ship's hull, because the physical reason for the friction drag reduction could be found by understanding the variation of the turbulence characteristics and structures in the boundary layer.
