Numerical analysis has been performed to investigate the rotor speed and pitch range variations when the airspeed is increased in autorotation. Transient Simulation Method(TSM) was used to obtain the steady states of autorotation. The rotor blade was analyzed by the two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes solver in order to adapt to the airspeed increase and the results were used in the transient simulation method. Meanwhile, the Pitt/Peters inflow theory was used to supply the induced velocity fields. For the prescribed torque equilibrium state, the combinations of velocity, shaft angle, and pitch angle were produced to investigate the rotor speeds and variable ranges. The rotor tip Mach number and rotor speed were correlated and the trim range of pitch angle was observed with respect to the shaft angle decrease.

The flight trajectory of a boomerang is predicted with the momentum theory (actuating disk theory) and the blade element method generally used as tools to analyze in the rotary-wing aerodynamics. Boomerangs made by students are actually compared with the computational results, utilized to get the physical intuition. The transition from helicopter mode to autogyro mode with the gyroscopic precession is observed in numerical analysis and experiment like a 'flying rotor' after the boomerang taking off. The whole system is shown to be highly nonlinear and very sensitive to the initial conditions. Various flight loci may be obtained if we change the parameters.

MEIS를 이용하여 Cu3Au(100)에서 단원자층 분해능을 얻기 위한 연구를 하였다. 우선 수소이온을 이용한 첫째층과 셋째 Au층의 분리 시도는 extremely glancing exit angle 등 극한의 산란조건에서도 성공하지 못하였다. 깊이 분해능을 정해주는 electronic 에너지 손실을 극대화기 위해 수소이온 대신 질소 이온을 사용하여 에너지 스펙트럼을 측정해 본 결과, 표면 Au 층과 표면 셋째 Au 층을 구분할 수 있었다, <110>으로 정렬된 조건에서는 셋째 층의 Au 원자들이 완전히 shadow cone 내부에 존재하여 관측되지 않지만 9.75$^{\circ}$tilt한 경우 셋째 층의 Au 원자들이 shadow cone 바깥으로 나오게 되어 첫째 층과 셋째 층이 확실히 분리되어 측정되었다. 이 연구에서 MEIS로 단원자층의 분해능을 얻는데 성공하였다. 이러한 단원자층 분해능으로 시료의 온도변화에 따른 표면 첫째 층의 Au 의 조성변화를 관찰하였고 이를 전산 모사 하였다. 이 결과 벌크 전이 온도인 39$0^{\circ}C$이하에서 표면 첫째 층 Au의 조성이 감소하는 것을 관찰하였고 이러한 감소는 45$0^{\circ}C$근처까지 계속되었으며, 다시 온도를 실온으로 낮추면 본래의 질서화된 상태로 되돌아감을 확인하였다. 그리고 이를 전산 모사 한 결과, 표면 첫째 층의 Au가 표면 둘째 층으로 이동해 감을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, two viable measures of mean length and cumulative thickness of sand layers as important spatial statistics responsible for optimal SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) location for oil sand development were compared. For the comparisons, various deposits composed of sand and clay media were realized using a geostatistical simulator and the extent of steam chamber is simulated using multiphysics numerical simulator (dualphase flow and heat transfer). Based on the spatial statistics of each realization and the corresponding size of simulated steam chamber, the representativeness of two candidate measures (cumulative thickness and mean length of permeable media) were compared. The results of the geostatistical and SAGD simulations suggest that the mean length of permeable media is better correlated to the size of steam chamber than the cumulative thickness. Given those two-dimensional results, it is concluded that the cumulative thickness of the permeable media alone may not be a sufficient criterion for determining an optimal SAGD location and the mean length needs to be complementarily considered for the sound selections.

In the study, three-dimensional geostatistical simulations on McMurray Formation which is the largest oil sand reservoir in Athabasca area, Canada were performed, and the optimal site for steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) was selected based on the predictions. In the selection, the factors related to the vertical extendibility of steam chamber were considered as the criteria for an optimal site. For the predictions, 110 borehole data acquired from the study area were analyzed in the Markovian transition probability (TP) framework and three-dimensional distributions of the composing media were predicted stochastically through an existing TP based geostatistical model. The potential of a specific medium at a position within the prediction domain was estimated from the ensemble probability based on the multiple realizations. From the ensemble map, the cumulative thickness of the permeable media (i.e. Breccia and Sand) was analyzed and the locations with the highest potential for SAGD applications were delineated. As a supportive criterion for an optimal SAGD site, mean vertical extension of a unit permeable media was also delineated through transition rate based computations. The mean vertical extension of a permeable media show rough agreement with the cumulative thickness in their general distribution. However, the distributions show distinctive disagreement at a few locations where the cumulative thickness was higher due to highly alternating juxtaposition of the permeable and the less permeable media. This observation implies that the cumulative thickness alone may not be a sufficient criterion for an optimal SAGD site and the mean vertical extension of the permeable media needs to be jointly considered for the sound selections.
