An experimental study on the micro-supersonic jet flow fields has been carried out. A sonic nozzle of 440 ${\mu}m$-exit diameter and a Laval nozzle of 800 ${\mu}m$ exit diameter with the nozzle exit Mach number 2.0 were fabricated by stretching a micro Pyrex glass tube for the present experiments. Schlieren flow visualization and Pitot pressure distribution of the jet flow field were obtained. Representative characteristics of the jet flow fields such as, supersonic length, jet core length, similarity of the velocity field, and jet spreading rates, have been observed. All the results were compared to previous observations of larger supersonic jets of higher Reynolds numbers, and it was found that overall characteristics of the micro supersonic jet are qualitatively similar as those of the higher Reynolds number jets, except the jet core length and the jet spreading rate.

In this study, several Soil-Structure-Interaction (SSI) analyses were performed using the developed FE-BE coupling method and the seismic response behavior of the structure's systems was determined. For the verification of the fundamental solution which is used in this analysis method, a dynamic analysis of the homogeneous ground was performed and it was compared to the results of Estorff et al. In order to verify the seismic response analysis, the results are compared with those of another commercial code. Several kindd of SSI analyses were performed and the seismic response associated with the rile foundation, seismic waves and a consideration of the ground nonlinearity were determined. As a result, it was found that the pile foundations didn't greatly helpful during the seismic event.

관망 내에서 흐름의 연속 방정식과 운동량 방정식을 상 미분으로 전개하여 해석한 특성선 방법은 주로 가압 관망체계(Pressurized Pipeline System)에서의 부정류 해석(Unsteady Analysis)에 사용 된다. 그러나 이특성선 방법은 천이류 해석을 위한 관망 재구성 과정에서 Courant수 조건의 만족을 위한 관의 재배열에 천문학적인 계산용량과 시간이 필요하다는 단점이 있다. 이는 현장 적용 시 압력파 전파속도의 불확실성과 연계되어 상당한 장해요소가 되고 있다. 이에 대안적인 방법으로서 임펄스응답법이 개발되었다. 이는 경계지점에서 복소수 유량에 대한 복소수 수두의 비율로써 정의된 관망에서의 수리임피던스를 역퓨리에 변환에 적용하여, 주파수 영역의 수치를 시간 영역으로 변환하여 응답함수를 산출한 후, 산출된 응답함수와 구해진 경계지점에서의 유량과의 적분을 통하여 임의의 지점에서의 수두 및 유량을 계산하는 방법이다. 임펄스 응답법은 관 부속물관의 특성을 기술하는 수학적 표현의 난해함으로 인해 지금까지는 단일관에 대한 연구에만 국한되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 임펄스응답법을 수리구조물이 부착된 관망에 적용하여 다양한 조건에서 천이류 분석을 시행하였다. 즉, 에어챔버 및 서지탱크와 같은 수리구조물을 각각에 대한 수리임피던스를 구하고, 가지관 및 통합 관성항으로 취급하여 수리구조물을 처리하였다. 그리고 이러한 결과를 특성선방법과 비교하여 그 적절성을 검증하였는데, 특성선 방법에 의한 모의 결과와 비교하였을 때, 일치하는 결과를 나타내었다. 임펄스응답법에 의한 모의 결과에서 감쇄효과를 과대평가하는 경향이 관찰되었다. 이는 임펄스 응답법의 가정에 기인한 것으로써 난류 상태의 흐름에서 상당한 불일치를 가져올 수 있으나, 수리 구조물에 의한 수격압이 감쇄되는 과정에서 대부분 흐름이 층류 상태로 전환된다고 가정 할 때는 상당한 적용성이 있다. 본 연구는 수리구조물이 부착된 관망의 해석함에 있어서 임펄스응답법의 적용이 가능함을 보였고, 이는 보다 복잡한 관망에서의 천이류 해석이 가능함을 시사한다.

The number of spaceborne optical sensors including red-edge band has been increasing since red-edge band is known to be effective to enhance the information content on biophysical characteristics of vegetation. Considering that the Agriculture and Forestry Satellite is planning to carry an imaging sensor having red-edge band, we tried to analyze the current status and potential of red-edge band. As a case study, we analyzed the effect of using red-edge band and tried to find the optimum band width and wavelength region of the red-edge band to estimate leaf area index (LAI) of very dense tree canopy. Field spectral measurements were conducted from April to October over two tree species (white oak and pitch pine) having high LAI. Using the spectral measurement data, total 355 red-edge bands reflectance were simulated by varying five band width (10 nm, 20 nm, 30 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm) and 71 central wavelength. Two red-edge based spectral indices(NDRE, CIRE) were derived using the simulated red-edge band and compared with the LAI of two tree species. Both NDRE and CIRE showed higher correlation coefficients with the LAI than NDVI. This would be an alternative to overcome the limitation of the NDVI saturation problem that NDVI has not been effective to estimate LAI over very dense canopy situation. There was no significant difference among five band widths of red-edge band in relation to LAI. The highest correlation coefficients were obtained at the red-edge band of center wavelength near the 720 nm for the white oak and 710 nm for the pitch pine. To select the optimum band width and wavelength region of the red-edge band, further studies are necessary to examine the relationship with other biophysical variables, such as chlorophyll, nitrogen, water content, and biomass.

The present study has been carried out to analyze the flow characteristics of a heat recovery steam generator with the change of inlet flow conditions by using numerical flow analysis. The inlet of HRSG corresponds the outlet of gas turbine exit and the flow after gas turbine has strong swirl flow and turbulence. The inlet flow condition of HRSG should be included the exit flow characteristics of gas turbine. The present numerical analysis adopted the flow analysis result of gas turbine exit flow as a inlet flow condition of HRSG analysis. The computational flow analysis result of gas turbine exit shows that the maximum axial velocity appears near circular duct wall and the maximum turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate exist relatively higher gradient region of axial velocity. The comparison of flow analysis will be executed with change of inlet turbulent flow condition. The first case is using the inlet turbulent properties from the result of computational analysis of gas turbine exit flow, and the second case is using the assumed turbulent intensity with the magnitude proportional to the velocity magnitude and length scale. The computational results of flow characteristics for two cases show great difference especially in the velocity field and turbulent properties. The main conclusion of the present study is that the flow inlet condition of HRSG should be included the turbulent properties for the accurate computational result of flow analysis.

As the multimedia data increases, various scene change detection algorithms for video indexing and sequence matching have been proposed to efficiently manage and utilize digital media. In this paper, we propose a robust scene change detection algorithm for video sequences with abrupt luminance variations. To improve the accuracy and to reduce the computational complexity of video indexing with abrupt luminance variations, the proposed algorithm utilizes edge features as well as color features, which yields a remarkably better performance than conventional algorithms. In the proposed algorithm first we extract the candidate shot boundaries using color histograms and then determine using edge matching and luminance compensation if they are shot boundaries or luminance changes. If the scene contains trivial brightness variations, the edge matching and luminance compensation are performed only for shot boundaries. In experimental results, the proposed method gives remarkably a high performance and efficiency than the conventional methods with the similar computational complexity.

The Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) has been applied to simulate a full-scale pool fire in well-confined and mechanically ventilated multi-compartments representative of nuclear power plant. The predictive performance of FDS was evaluated through a comparison of the numerical data with experimental data obtained by the OECD/NEA PRISME project. To identify clearly the FDS results regarding to the user-dependence in the process of FDS implementation except for the intrinsic limitation of FDS such as simple combustion model, only the over-ventilated fire condition was chosen. In particular, the importance of accurate boundary conditions (B.C.) in mechanically ventilated system were discussed in details. It was known from FDS results that the B.C. on inlet and outlet vents did significantly affect the thermal and chemical characteristics inside the compartments. Finally, it was confirmed that the FDS imposed an accurate ventilation B.C. provided qualitatively good agreement with temperatures, heat fluxes and concentrations measured inside the nuclear-type multi-compartments.

The interface layer having different consolidation properties and nonlinear material function with permeability needs to be considered to predict consolidation behavior. In this study, interface equation between different layers has been derived and then applied to existing finite difference scheme for conducting consolidation analysis. These results have been compared with those by conventional method in which different layers are converted to single layer having conversion value of properties. Also, although the conventional consoilidation analysis is used to consider non-linearity of the permeability with effective stress, an approximated nonlinear method as a function of consoilidation coefficient with effective stress have been developed and applied to the consoilidation analysis for various cases.

In recent years, experimental and theoretical studies show that turbulent flows looking disordered have a definite structure produced repetitively with visible order. As a core structure of turbulence, hairpin vertices are believed to play a major role in developing and sustaining the turbulence process in the near wall region of turbulent boundary layers and may be regarded as the simplest conceptual model that can account for the essential features of the wall pressure fluctuations. In this work, fully developed typical hairpin vortices are focused and the associated surface pressure distributions and their corresponding spectra are estimated. On the basis of the attached eddy model, the overall surface pressure spectra are represented in terms of the eddy size distribution. The model is validated by comparison of predicted wavenumber spectra with existing empirical models, the results of direct numerical simulation (DNS) and also spatial correlations with experimental measurements.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the hydraulic behavior in a stream reach using SMS RMA-2 model with a series of dynamic boundary conditions of main stream and lateral flows simulated by WMS HEC-1 program. For the stream reach (10.5 km) between Gongdo and Pyeongtaek water level gauge stations of Anseongcheon, the model simulated two dimensional flow characteristics by applying dynamic flow conditions of rainfall frequencies of 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 years for the main stream and three tributaries. The temporal flow behavior successfully simulated and the results showed that the distribution of mean velocity and water level within the stream reach increased according to the increase of flow frequency. Especially, the flow velocity sensibly increased at the near downstream of lateral inflow as the width of main stream is narrower.
