To understand the role of helical geometry on the regression rate enhancement, two competing underlying mechanisms such as turbulence enhancement and swirling motion production were studied by numerical calculations. Experimental results showed that the enhancement of heat transfer rate has the very close relation to the increase in regression rate even though the percentage of increase in heat transfer rate is different from that in regression rate. This discrepancy is presumably due to the change of turbulent flow feature caused by so-called "blowing mass flux" from the fuel surface. In this regard, the results of RANS calculation show that the blowing velocity is responsible for the reduction of the swirl generation and the increase in the turbulent kinetic energy. And the dominancy of one of the mechanisms causes the increase in the regression rate. Meanwhile, the increase in turbulent kinetic energy due to the mixing of blowing flow and free stream flow does not contribute for the enhancement of the heat transfer rate to the surface because the blowing flow pushes boundary layer away from the solid surface.

Biomass distribution of zooplankton showed its lowest level in June in the Cheju Strait, and the highest one was noticed in November when the secondary productivity is considered high. The highest biomass of zooplankton appeared in the sea areas of Sta. 14 and 11 respectively with relation to oceanographic conditions and wet weight of biomass. The positions were the center part of the Cheju Strait, while the sea area of the South Sea of Korea and the northern coast of Cheju Island showed relatively low biomass distribution. The characteristic of the sea area where biomass was densely distributed was it was in patch shape. Meanwhile, biomass distribution was higher in the northern sea area of Cheju Island than In the coastal sea of the South Sea of Korea. It shows formation of hairtail fishing grounds is closely related to biomass distribution in the Cheju Strait. In addition, high biomass is displayed in the center part of the saddle shaped ocean, a boundary of the heterogeneous water mass as a feature of fall oceanographic condition. Good fishing grounds of a hairtail In the Cheju Strait were formed outside of the sea area that showed patch-shaped high biomass distribution.

An investigation has been made on the relationship between characteristics of torsional mode signal in MsS and SH mode signal in BEM modeling for the defect of stainless steel pipe. In order to compare torsional mode signal with SH mode signal of defect in stainless steel pipe, specimens were made by changing size of depth and width along to circumferential direction 360 degrees. All the defects was detected by torsional mode signal of MsS, especially according to the change of depth size, amplitude of signal was changed. But width change for the circumferential defects has no certain tendency. SH mode signal of BEM modeling shows similar results with torsional mode, with change makes amplitude variation of signal. In this paper, the characteristics of torsional mode and SH mode signals were found. It is possible to predict the circumferential defects for the pipe by SH mode modeling.

토목구조물 및 사면의 붕괴는 집중호우가 내리는 경우 많이 발생하고 있으며, 특히 사면에서는 붕괴까지의 변형이 급속히 진행되어 이를 사전에 예방하기는 매우 어려운 현실이다. 침투 및 배수과정에서의 사면 붕괴는 강우침투로 인한 지반의 물리적 특성변화가 직접적으로 사면의 안전계수 변화에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되며, 이때 발생하는 물리적 특성변화로는 침투시 사면 내 지반의 단위 중량은 증가하여 전단응력의 증가 및 전단강도 감소현상이 발생하며, 이와 반대로 사면 내 배수로 인하여 전단응력의 감소 및 전단강도의 증가현상이 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강우침투로 발생하는 지반의 포화도 변화를 지반 내 투수계수의 함수로 설명하여 강우로 인한 지반의 침투 및 배수과정을 규명하고자 한다. 일반적으로 지반 내 지하수의 침투과정은 라플라스 공식을 적용한다. 그러나 라플라스 공식은 정상 상태(Steady State)일 경우에만 사용할 수 있고, 강우 등으로 인한 지하수의 수두 변화가 발생한 비정상 상태(Unsteady State)의 경우에는 부적합하므로 사면과 옹벽 등의 토질구조물에서는 안전성 변화를 계산할 수 없다. 이를 위해 사면 내 지반의 침투 및 배수과정을 투수계수의 함수로 나타내어, 강우의 침투과정을 Fourier Series, 변수분리법 및 섭동함수를 사용하여 식으로 유도함으로서 강우에 의한 지반의 침투 및 배수과정에 따른 사면 내 지하수의 분포를 예측한다. 침투과정 해석을 위하여 지표에서 포화대까지의 깊이 10m의 모델사면 및 지표부터 포화대까지의 포화도는 직선으로 비례한다는 가정을 적용한다. 먼저 푸리에 급수를 이용, 시간에 따른 온도를 열전달에 관하여 편미분하여 발생하는 열확산계수를 투수계수로 변환함에 따라 지하수의 시간과 수직방향거리에 대한 지반의 포화도를 산정한다. 변수분리법은 산정된 포화도에 지반의 초기조건과 경계조건를 고려하기 위해 적용하며, 변수분리법에 의해 산정된 지하수 분포를 섭동함수법으로 과도 및 정상상태로 분류한다. 본 연구의 수행으로 인해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, Fourier Series와 변수분리법, 섭동함수를 이용하여 강우에 의한 지반의 포화도 변화를 수식적으로 나타낼 수 있으며 둘째, 지반에서의 강우침투과정을 식으로 표현함으로서, 깊이별 시간에 따른 포화도의 영역이 상부로부터 하부로 전이되는 과정을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 푸리에 급수를 이용한 지반의 침투계산으로 강우로 인한 지반의 포화영역 및 불포화영역을 명확히 구분할 수 있으며, 각 깊이별 포화도를 계산하여 각 구간에서 불포화구간의 전단강도에 대한 보다 정확한 계산이 가능하리라 판단된다.

$Zn_xSr_{1-x}S$ thin films were prepared in the whole composition range by rf sputtering, using powder targets of a mixture of ZnS and SrS with the required mole fraction. The possibility of existence of $Zn_xSr_{1-x}S$ solid solutions was systematically investigated from the results of thin film growth, in terms of structural, optical characteristics and the chemical bonding of the constituent atoms. The XRD, XPS and optical results made it clear that the solid solutions with a single-phased zincblende structure and a single-phased rocksalt structure were formed at $0.86~0.93{\leq}x{\leq}1\;and\;0{\leq}x{\leq}0.29$, respectively. The miscibility gap, including phase separation regions was found to exist in $0.3{\leq}x{\leq}0.86~0.91$, in which lattice constants, binding energy and absorption edges kept almost constant by the same values as those at border compositions. The experimental results on phase transition agreed well with the fraction of ionic character fi based on the Phillips' dielectric theory.

LIDAR data are useful for forest applications such as bare-earth DEM generation for forest areas, and estimation of tree height and forest biomass. As a core preprocessing procedure for most forest applications, this study attempts to develop an efficient method to detect forest areas from LIDAR data. First, we suggest three perceptual cues based on multiple return characteristics, height deviation and spatial distribution, being expected as reliable perceptual cues for forest area detection from LIDAR data. We then classify the potential forest areas based on the individual cue and refine them with a bi-morphological process to eliminate falsely detected areas and smoothing the boundaries. The final refined forest areas have been compared with the reference data manually generated with an aerial image. All the methods based on three types of cues show the accuracy of more than 90%. Particularly, the method based on multiple returns is slightly better than other two cues in terms of the simplicity and accuracy. Also, it is shown that the combination of the individual results from each cue can enhance the classification accuracy.

In this study, we analyzed the spatio-temporal variations of satellite imagery for the two heavy rainfall cases (21 September, 2010, 9 August, 2011) occurred in the Korean Peninsula. In general, the possibility of strong convection can be increased when the region with plenty of moisture at the lower layer overlapped with the boundary between dark and bright area in the water vapor imagery. And the merging of convective cells caused by the difference in the moving velocities of two cells resulted in the intensification of convective activity and rainfall intensity. The rainfall intensity is more closely linked with the minimum cloud top temperature than the mean cloud top temperature. Also the spatio-temporal variations of rainfall intensity are impacted by the existence of merging processes. The merging can be predicted by the animation of satellite imagery but earlier detection of convective cells is almost impossible by using the infrared and water vapor imagery.

GTAW was carried out to the austenitic 304(STS 304) and 22 APU stainless steels. In this case, difference of the corrosion characteristics of welded zone with STS 304 and 22APU mentioned above was investigated with electrochemical methods. Vickers hardness of weld metal in case of STS 304 (Hv-250) showed a relatively higher value than this of 22 APU(Hv-217). The corrosion current densities of weld metal of 22APU and heat affected zone of STS 304 were observed at the highest value compared to those of other welding zone respectively. This is probably because chromium depletion field due to chromium carbide formed to weld metal of 22APU and to heat affected zone of STS 304 can preferentially easily be corroded with more active anode than other fields. Consequently it is thought that application of the other welding methods like as laser welding or using of the optimum filler metals is necessary to improve the corrosion resistance of welding parts of these steels.

In order to assure the reliability and integrity of structures such as bridges, Power and petrochemical plants, nondestructive evaluation techniques are recently playing more important roles. Among the various kinds of nondestructive evaluation techniques, ultrasonic technique is one of the most widely used methods for nondestructive inspection of internal defects in structures. For the reliable quantitative evaluation of internal defects from the experimental ultrasonic signals, a numerical analysis of ultrasonic scattering field due to a defect distribution is absolutely required. In this paper, the SH-wave scattering by multi-cavity defects using elastodynamic boundary element method is studied. The effects of shape of defects on transmitted and reflected fields are considered. The interaction of multi-cavity defects in 50-wave scattering is also investigated. Numerical calculation by the boundary element method has been carried out to predict near field solution of scattered fields of ultrasonic SH-wave. The presented results would be useful to improve the sensitivity of flaw defection for inverse analysis and pursue quantitative nondestructive evaluation for inverse problem.

As in the other industrial processes, a nuclear power plant involves a steam relieving process through which condensable steam is discharged and condensed in a subcooled pool. An analysis of steam discharge transients was carried out using the method of characteristics to determine the flow characteristics and dynamic loads of piping that are used for structural design of the piping and its supports. The analysis included not only the steam flow rate but also the flow rates of the air and water which originally exist in the pipe. The analytical model was developed for a uniform pipe with friction through which the flow was discharged into a suppression pool. Including the combinations of system elements such as reservoir, valve and branching pipe lines. The piping flow characteristics and dynamic loads were calculated by varying system pressure, pipe length, and submergence depth. It was found that the dynamic load, water clearing time and water clearing velocity at the water/air interface were dependent not only on the system pressure and temperature but also on the pipe length and submergence depth.
