This paper describes the phenomena of wake-induced transition of the boundary layers on a NACA0012 airfoil using measured phase-averaged data. Especially, the phase-averaged wall shear stresses are reasonably evaluated using the principle of Computational Preston Tube Method. Due to the passing wake, the turbulent patch is generated in the laminar boundary layer on the airfoil and the boundary layer becomes temporarily transitional. The patches propagate downstream with less speed than free-stream velocity and merge with each other at further down stream station, and the boundary layer becomes more transitional. The generation of turbulent patch at the leading edge of the airfoil mainly depends on velocity defects and turbulent intensity profiles of passing wakes. However, the growth and merging of turbulent patches depend on local streamwise pressure gradients as well as characteristics of turbulent patches. In this transition process, the present experimental data show very similar features to the previous numerical and experimental studies. It is confirmed that the two phase-averaged mean velocity dips appear in the outer region of transitional boundary layer for each passing cycle. Relatively high values of the phase-averaged turbulent fluctuations in the outer region indicate the possibility that breakdown occurs in the outer layer not near the wall.

The effects of porous wind fence on the pressure characteristics around a 2-dimensional prism model of triangular cross-section were investigated experimentally. The fence and prism model were embedded in a neutral atmospheric surface boundary layer over the city suburb. In this study, various fences of different porosity, back fence, inclination angle of prism and location of additional back prisms were tested to investigate their effects on the pressure and wall shear stress of the prism surface. The fence and prism had the same height of 40 mm and Reynolds number based on the model height was Re=3.9*10$^{4}$. The porous fence with porosity 40% was found to be the best wind fence for decreasing the mean and pressure fluctuations on the prism surface. By installing the fence of porosity 40%, the wall shear stress on the windward surface of prism was largely decreased up to 1/3 of that without the fence. This indicates that the porous fence is most effective to abate the wind erosion. Pressure fluctuations on the model surface were decreased more than half when a back fence was located behind the prism in addition to the front fence. With locating several back prisms and decreasing the inclination angle of triangular prism, the pressure fluctuations on the model surface were increased on the contrary.

An experimental study was performed for two types of co-axial cylindrical shell structures in order to establish the relationship between in-air dynamic characteristics and in-water ones and to observe hydrodynamic mass effects on their mode shapes when submerged. The outer cylinders are prepared with two kinds to get more insights on the fluid-structure interaction phenomena: one is flexible, which means that the outer cylinder has almost same stiffness as the inner one, and the other is a rigid one whose stiffness is more than ten times of the inner one's(it might be regarded as the scaled-down model of the reactor internals). The finite element. analyses were also implemented to support the experimental results. The results show that the natural frequencies of a co-axial cylindrical shell structure in water are remarkably lower than those in air due to the fluid mass effects. In case of the flexible-to-flexible cylinders, there exist in-phase and out-of-phase mode shapes and they are affected by the annular gap between the. co-axial cylinders. For the in-phase mode the in-water natural frequency decreases exponentially as the gap increases, while it slightly increases in case of the out-of-phase mode due to the squeezing effect of the gap fluid. In the flexible-to-rigid case, the normalized natural frequency(in-water frequency/in-air one) of the inner cylinder(core barrel model) ranges between in-phase and out-of-phase mode frequencies of the flexible-to-flexible co-axial cylindrical structure having identical dimensions. Also the normalized natural frequency of the inner cylinder of the flexible-to-rigid one moves from near of the in-phase mode frequency into the out-of-phase mode value of the flexible-to-flexible case as circumferential mode number(n) increases.

In this study, effects of bonding agent, e.g. epoxy, on the behavior of fundamental guided wave modes propagated in FRP plate bonded on a concrete, are investigated. Global matrix model of multilayered FRP-epoxy-concrete system was constructed to obtain the velocity and attenuation dispersion curves of the fundamental A0 and S0 modes. Two variables, thickness and elastic modulus of epoxy layer, were considered in the dispersion analysis. It was found that both the thickness and the elastic modulus of epoxy layer greatly affect the phase velocity and attenuation of S0 mode while those are negligible for A0 mode. Based on the results, it was concluded that S0 mode is more effective than A0 mode for bonding condition assessment for FRP plate bonded concrete.

This paper proposes an object-based image retrieval technique based on the dominant color pair information. Most of existing methods for content based retrieval extract the features from an image as a whole, instead of an object of interest. As a result, the retrieval performance tends to degrade due to the background colors. This paper proposes an object based retrieval scheme, in which an object of interest is used as a query and the similarity is measured on candidate regions of DB images where the object may exist. From the segmented image, the dominant color pair information between adjacent regions is used for selecting candidate regions. The similarity between the query image and DB image is measured by using the color correlogram technique. The dominant color pair information is robust against translation, rotation, and scaling. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method has been improved by reducing the errors caused by background colors.

This paper proposes a face recognition method based on modified Otsu binarization, Hu moment and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Proposed method is robust to brightness, contrast, scale, rotation, and translation changes. Modified Otsu binarization can make binary images that have the invariant characteristic in brightness and contrast changes. From edge and multi-level binary images obtained by the threshold method, we compute the 17 dimensional Hu moment and then extract feature vector using LDA algorithm. Especially, our face recognition system is robust to scale, rotation, and translation changes because of using Hu moment. Experimental results showed that our method had almost a superior performance compared with the conventional well-known principal component analysis (PCA) and the method combined PCA and LDA in the perspective of brightness, contrast, scale, rotation, and translation changes with Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) database and the AR database.

The basic strategy of OSMU(One-source Multi-use) in digital image is a marketing that applying one source to other genres for leverage based on that cross-referencing in different genre enabled that one material(one-source) has synergy effect when reproduced to various products(multi-use) as cultural sources are available through on-line and digital format. Recently, according to the characteristics of culture industry with Window Effect, many culture contents such as movies, games, animations and characters are carefully planned at its design stage to get the maximum effect. Especially, the fact that one leading-trend source makes it easier to produce additional products with the least cost is observed and it enables organized management which resulted in low marketing and PR cost. This paper confirmed that OSMU strategy in Korea mainly get started from online to offline comparing to Japan and USA.

Lately the VR (Virtual Reality) game genre is becoming increasingly more popular and it has been cementing its place in the market as its own independent game genre. The key advantage of VR is that it lowers the barrier between player and the virtual world, thus creating an immersive experience. The suggested method develops a game that allows the player to experience what it is like to be visually impaired using the unique characteristics of VR. A distinctive feature of this game is that the character is provided only a limited range of sight, which is created using silhouette outlines. This restrictive visual field is then grafted onto VR and the player can indirectly experience blindness in a highly immersive manner. The silhouette outline along with the particle system is created using Oculus Rift, a headset highly used in VR game development, and Unity 3D game engine. We will also explain in detail regarding the removal of borders between the objects.

To remove ringing and increase vertical resolution of GRP data, signature deconvolution was applied to GPR data obtained using a 100 MHz antenna in the Soyang Lake. The signature was extracted through stacking reflection signals from the lake bottom. Results of this deterministic deconvolution was compared with those from the conventional Wienner method. Due to increased vertical resolution, both deconvolution methods are able to resolve three or more layers in an apparent single layer on the input data. However, identification of reflection boundaries from ringing is not easy due to poor definition in the output data of the Wienner filter. On the contrary, the signature deconvolution greatly enhances both vertical resolution and definition of reflection boundaries, showing detailed internal stratigraphic features of the three sedimentary layers. Since extraction of signature at various depths is possible, this deconvolution method can be appled effectively to unstationary GPR data.
