A potential-based panel method has been developed to investigate the resistance characteristics of a high speed catamaran advancing on the free surface. Normal dipoles and sources are distributed on the body surface while sources are distributed on the free surface. Linearised free surface conditions are used in the present analysis. To avoid the instabilities due to the velocity difference between inner and outer flow of a high speed catamaran, Kutta condition has been applied at the stern. Model test has been carried out not only to validate the numerical results but to confirm the capabilities of a CWC(Circulating Water Channel). It is believed that we can obtain the qualitatively reasonable results in the CWC. Computed results are compared with those of experiments and Insel's experimental values. Since the Kutta condition is applied at the stern, stable solutions are obtained at the high speed range. The present method, using linearised free surface conditions at the high speed range, seems to be a useful tool in the hull form design of a high speed catamaran.

A potential-based panel method has been developed for numerical computation of wave resistance on a hybrid hydrofoil. Hybrid hydrofoil is composed of a main body, two struts and two hydrofoils. The main body, which is assumed to be an axisymmetric body for the present analysis, is normally used to support displacement of a body with its buoyancy. Normal dipoles and the sources are distributed on the body(main body, struts, hydrofoils) and the sources are distributed on the free surface. Linearized free surface and the radiation conditions are satisfied using the fourth order finite difference operator and the semi-linear pressure Kutta condition is used for the numerical computation of the hydrofoils. Poisson type free surface condition has been used for the numerical computation and hyperboloidal panel method has been used for better numerical accuracy. To verify this numeric method, model tests are performed in circulation water channel. From the comparison of experimental results with numeric ones, the present method can be used as a useful tool for the design of high speed vessels.

A potential-based panel method is presented for the analysis of a partially or supercavitating two-dimensional hydrofoil at a finite submergence beneath a free surface, treating without approximation the effects of the finite Froude number and the hydrostatic pressure. Free surface sources and normal dipoles are distributed on the foil and cavity surfaces, their strength being determined by satisfying the kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions on the foil-cavity boundary. The cavity surface is determined iteratively as a part of the solution. Numerical results show that the wave profile is altered significantly due to the presence of the cavity. The buoyancy effect due to the hydrostatic pressure, which has usually been neglected in most of the cavitating flow analysis, is found playing an important role, especially for the supercavitating hydrofoil; the gravity field increases the cavity size in shallow submergence, but decreases it when deeply submerged, while the lift reduces at all submergence depth.

The transient nature and complex flow geometries of two-phase gas-liquid flows cause fundamental difficulties when measuring flow velocity using an electromagnetic flowmeter. Recently, a current-sensing flowmeter was introduced to obtain measurements with high temporal resolution (Ahn et $al.^{(1)}$). In this study, current-sensing flowmeter theory was applied to measure the fast velocity transients in slug flows. To do this, the velocity fields of axisymmetric gas-liquid slug flow in a vertical pipe were obtained using Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method and the virtual potential distributions for the electrodes of finite size were also computed using the finite volume method for the simulated slug flow. The output signal prediction for slug flow was carried out from the velocity and virtual potential (or weight function) fields. The flowmeter was numerically calibrated to obtain the cross-sectional liquid mean velocity at an electrode plane from the predicted output signal. Two calibration parameters are required for this procedure: a flow pattern coefficient and a localization parameter. The flow pattern coefficient was defined by the ratio of the liquid resistance between the electrodes for two-phase flow with respect to that for single-phase flow, and the localization parameter was introduced to avoid errors in the flowmeter readings caused by liquid acceleration or deceleration around the electrodes. These parameters were also calculated from the computed velocity and virtual potential fields. The results can be used to obtain the liquid mean velocity from the slug flow signal measured by a current-sensing flowmeter.

현재 화석연료의 부족으로 인한 에너지 수급의 불균형, 자연환경의 파괴로 인해 대체에너지 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 방안으로 태양전지에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 기존 결정형 실리콘 태양전지와 비교해 화합물 반도체를 기반으로 한 박막형 태양전지는 친환경적인 제품이면서 제조원가를 절감시킬 수 있고, 반영구적인 수명 및 값싼 기판을 활용할 수 있는 장점으로 인해 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 Co-sputtering법으로 제작된 $CuInSe_2$(CIS)를 광활성층으로 한 박막형 태양전지에서 실온 ${\sim}550^{\circ}C$의 다양한 온도에서 후열 처리된 CIS 박막들의 전기적, 구조적, 광학적인 특성들을 분석하였다. 제작된 박막들 가운데 Hall Effect 측정결과 $550^{\circ}C$에서 후열 처리된 박막이 가장 높은 1.227E+22(/$cm^3$)의 캐리어 농도와 1.581(cm/$V{\cdot}s$)의 홀 이동도를 가지며, 3.092E-4(${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$)의 가장 낮은 비저항 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. EFM 측정결과 열처리 하지 않은 박막에 비해 후열처리된 CIS 박막의 전도성이 전체적으로 높아졌다. 특히, $550^{\circ}C$에서 후열 처리된 박막의 표면은 전체적으로 전기 전도성이 높은 결정립들이 골고루 분포하며 가장 높은 표면 포텐셜 에너지 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 박막들의 구조적 특성을 분석하기 위해 SEM과 XRD를 측정한 결과, $350^{\circ}C$에서 후열 처리된 박막들은 열처리 되지 않은 박막과 비교해 표면형상 변화가 일어났으며, $550^{\circ}C$에서 후열 처리된 CIS 박막들은 $CuInSe_2$(112) 방향이 향상된 chalcopyrite-like 구조를 가지면서 박막 밀도가 높고 결정립의 크기가 증가된 것을 확인하였다. 이는 박막 성장시 기판온도의 상승으로 CIS 박막 내에서 셀레늄의 확산과 상호작용으로 3원 화합물이 재결정화되어 구조적인 특성향상에 기여하였기 때문이다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 CIS 광활성층에서 후열 처리의 효과들 뿐만아니라 박막 증착시 co-sputtering법을 이용함으로써 증착시간의 감소 및 대면적화와 대량생산으로도 적용 가능함을 제시하고자 한다.

The design and construction are carried out to improve the structural stability of caisson breakwaters by installing new caissons on the front or rear of old caissons. The wave forces acting on caisson are excessively calculated by the resonance of fluid existing between the old caisson and the new caisson in the numerical analysis using potential flow. In this study, we used the damping zone option in ANSYS AQWA program to analyze the wave forces acting on individual caissons according to the interaction effects between the incident wave and the caisson. By applying the damping zone option to the fluid in which resonance occurs, the wave forces acting on individual caissons were calculated by the change of damping factor. In addition, the wave force characteristics acting on individual caissons were analyzed for the different distances between caissons in the frequency domain analysis.

The nucleation and evolution process of Ge nano-islands on Si(001) surfaces grown by chemical vapor deposition have been explored using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The Ge nano-islands are grown by exposing the substrates to a mixture of gasses GeH4 and H2 at pressure of 0.1-0.5Torr and temperatures of $600-650^{\circ}C$. The effect of growth conditions such as temperature, Ge thickness, annealing time on the shape, size, number density, and surface distribution was investigated. For Ge deposition greater than ${\sim}5$ monolayer (ML) with a growth rate of ${\sim}0.1ML/sec$ at $600^{\circ}C$, we observed island nucleation on the surface indicating the transition from strained layer to island structure. Further deposition of Ge led to shape transition from initial pyramid and hut to dome and superdome structure. The lateral average size of the islands increased from ${\sim}20nm$ to ${\sim}310nm$ while the number density decreased from $4{\times}10^{18}$ to $5{\times}10^8cm^{-2}$ during the shape transition process. In contrast, for the samples grown at a relatively higher temperature of $650^{\circ}C$ the morphology of the islands showed that the dome shape is dominant over the pyramid shape. The further deposition of Ge led to transition from the dome to the superdome shape. The evolution of shape, size, and surface distribution is related to energy minimization of the islands and surface diffusion of Ge adatoms. In particular, we found that the initially nucleated islands did not grow through long-range interaction between whole islands on the surface but via local interaction between the neighbor islands by investigation of the inter-islands distance.

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.

We developed a mathematical simulation model to portray the vertical distribution of soil water from the measured weather data and the known soil hydraulic properties, and then compared simulation results with the periodically measured soil water profiles obtained on Jungdong sandy loam to verify the model, In this model, we solved potential-based Richards' equation by the implicit finite difference method superimposed on the predictor-corrector scheme. We presumed that: soil hydraulic properties are homogeneous; soil water flows isothermally; hysteresis is not considered; no vapor flows; no heat transfers into the soil profiles; and water added to soil surface is distributed along the soil profile following partial displacement principle. The input data were broadly classified into two groups: (1) daily weather data such as rainfall, maximum and minimum air temperatures, relative humidity and solar radiation and (2) soil hydraulic data to approximate unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and water retention. Each hydraulic polynomial function approximated using the Chebyshev polynomial and least square difference technique in tandem showed a fairly good fit of the given set of data. Vertical distribution of soil water as approximations to the Richards' equation subject to changing surface and phreatic boundaries was solved numerically during 53 days with a comparatively large time increment, and this pattern agreed well with field neutron scattering data, except for the surface 0.1 m slab.

The freezing resistance of Eleocharis kuroguqai was evaluated in artifical and natural freezing conditions in relation to tuber size, depth of tuber burial and soil moisture conditions. Osmotic potential of immature and mature tuber of E. kuroguqai before hardening was -12.1 and -23.5 bar, respectively, but decreased to -61. 0 and -67.1 bar after 120-day hardening period. Percent survival of E. kuroguqai tubers during the winter period was 13% and 67% in dry and moist moisture conditions at burial of 5cm depth, but all tubers were survived in the three moisture conditions employed when buried at 25cm depth. Greater decrease of osmotic potential was observed in tubers buried at 5cm depth than tubers buried at 25cm depth, resulting in greater freezing resistance in the former. Large tuber was more susceptable to freezing temperatures than small tuber.
