MANPADS (man-portable air defense system) is a counterweapon system against enemy aircraft, tracking the MWIR (mid-wavelength of infrared) signature of the plume. Under foggy conditions, however, multiple scattering phenomenon caused by the particles affects the MWIR transmittance, and the MANPADS detection performance. Therefore, in this study we analyzed the lock-on range of MANPADS with varying fog conditions and plume characteristics. To analyze the optical extinction properties and transmittance in fog, Mie scattering theory and analytic solution of the radiative-transfer equation are utilized. In addition, we used flare signature as an alternative MWIR light source. We confirmed that the lock-on range could be noticeably reduced under conditions of mist, and proportional to the flare temperature.

To evaluate characteristics in spray flame, laminar counterflow is investigated on the effects of equivalence ratio and fuel by a two-dimensional DNS (direct numerical simulation). For the gaseous phase, Eulerian mass, momentum, energy, and species conservation equations are solved. For the disperse phase, all individual droplets are calculated by the Lagrangian method without the parcel model. n-Decane ($C_{10}H_{22}$) and n-heptane ($C_7H_{16}$) is used as a liquid spray fuel, and a one-step global reaction is employed for the combustion reaction model. As equivalence ratio increases, the fuel ignites early and the high temperature region spreads wider. The peak value of temperature, however, tends to once increase and then decreases with increasing equivalence ratio. The decrease in the peak value of temperature for the higher equivalence ratio condition is caused by the cooling effect associated with droplet group combustion. Since the evaporation of n-heptane is early, the high temperature region spreads wider than ndecane, but the peak values of temperature for both n-heptane and n-decane is almost same.

This paper presents numerical investigation on behaviors of the rear cover in the vertical launcher under rocket plume loading by using fluid-structure interaction analysis. The rocket plume loading is modeled by the fully Eulerian method and elasto-plastic behavior of the rear cover is predicted by the total Lagrangian method based on a 9-node planar element. The interface motion and boundary conditions are described by a hybrid particle level-set method within the ghost fluid framework. The present results will be compared with the experimental data in the future.

This research suggested smart fire recognition system which trances firing location with CCD camera with wired/wire-less TCP/IP function and Pan/Tilt function, delivers information in real time to android system installed by smart mobile communication system and controls fire and disaster remotely. To embody suggested method, firstly, algorithm which applies hue saturation intensity (HSI) Transform for input video, eliminates surrounding lightness and unnecessary videos and segmentalized only firing videos was suggested. Secondly, Pan/Tilt function traces accurate location of firing for proper control of firing. Thirdly, android communication system installed by mobile function confirms firing state and controls it. To confirm the suggested method, 10 firing videos were input and experiment was conducted. As the result, all of 10 videos segmentalized firing sector and traced all of firing locations.

To investigate the in-cylinder phenomena in a SI engine with 3 valves and pent-roof type combustion chamber, flow fields, fuel distributions, and flame propagations were measured in a single c!'tinder visualized engine. Flow fields were visualized by PTV system during the intake and compression process. Fuel distributions were measured by PLIF at the various engine conditions including the cold and hot engine conditions and the effect of air-shrouded injector on the fuel distribution was investigated also. In addition, flame propagation patterns were characterized.

화재란 사람의 의도에 반하거나 고의에 의해 발생하는 연소현상으로서 소화시설 등을 사용하여 소화할 필요가 있는 것을 말한다. 사람의 의도에 반한다고 하는 것은 과실에 의한 화재를 의미하며 화기취급 중 발생하는 실화뿐만 아니라 부작위에 의한 자연발화도 포함하며, 고의에 의한다고 하는 것은 일정한 대상에 대하여 피해발생을 목적으로 화재발생을 유도하였거나 직접 방화한 경우를 말한다. 연소현상이라 함은 가연성 물질이 산소와 결합하여 열과 빛을 내며 급속히 산화되어 형질이 변경되는 화학반응을 말한다. 소화시설 등을 사용하여 소화할 필요가 있다는 것은 화재란 연소현상으로서 소화의 필요성이 있어야 하며 소화의 필요성의 정도는 소화시설이나 그와 유사한 정도의 시설을 사용할 수준 이상이어야 한다. 화재원인조사란 발화부를 판단하고 화재에 이르게 된 발화원을 규명하며, 발화부로부터 연소확대된 경과를 조사하는 일련의 행위로서 화재원인조사시 가장 중요한 사항은 발화부 판단인 바, 이는 화재원인이 발화부에만 존재하기 때문이다. 최근에는 다양한 소재의 사용으로 인해 일단 화재로 진행될 경우 인명 및 재산상 피해가 증가하게 되어 있으며, 이로 인해 화재조사시 화학, 물리, 전기, 건축, 기계, 소방 등 다양한 지식과 화재현장에 대한 이해가 요구된다. 화재현장 조사시 발화부 판단의 과학적 접근은 매우 중요한 것으로서, 화재원인의 명쾌한 규명으로 책임한계 구분은 물론, 유사사고의 재발방지를 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기 발생한 화재사례에서 얻은 화재패턴을 분석하여 얻은 자료를 통해 발화부를 판단할 수 있는 조사방법을 다음과 같이 제시하였다. 1) 화재시 열전달과 화염확산 과정에서 건축구조물, 내장재, 집적물 및 각종 설치물의 구조, 재질 등에 따라 다양한 화재패턴을 형성하게 됨을 알 수 있다. 2) 화재패턴의 종류로는 화재플럼에 의한 삼각형, 주상, V, U 패턴 등이 있으며, 연소 생성물인 화염, 연기, 열 등에 의해 다양한 형태를 보임을 알 수 있다. 3) 위와 같은 결과를 종합하여 연소의 상승성, 불꽃 및 연기 흔적, 열에 의한 흔적 등에 의해 연소의 방향성을 알 수 있다. 4) 결국 화재현장에서 명확한 화재원인을 규명하기 위해서는 화재패턴에 의해 연소확대과정을 역으로 추적하여 발화부를 결정한 다음, 발화부내에서 화재원인을 찾아내야 할 것이다.

The missile early-warning satellite systems have been developed and upgraded by some space-developed nations, under the inevitable trend that the space is more strongly considered as another battle field than before. As the key function of such a satellite-based early warning system, the prediction algorithm of the missile flight trajectory is studied in the paper. In particular, the evolution computation, receiving broad attention in the artificial intelligence area, is applied to the proposed prediction method so that the global optimum-like solution is found avoiding disadvantage of the previous non-linear optimization search tools. Moreover, using the prediction simulator of the launch vehicle flight trajectory which is newly developed in C# and Python, the paper verifies the performance and the feature of the proposed algorithm.

Toxic gases and soot deposition as a consequence of smoke inhalation can cause direct injury to the upper and lower airways and even to the lung parenchyma. A delay in proper and prompt therapy can be detrimental to critically ill burn patients with an inhalation injury. Therefore, serial chest radiography is an important diagnostic tool for pulmonary complications during treatment. The radiographic findings of the chest include normal, consolidation, interstitial and alveolar infiltrates, peribronchial thickening, atelectasis, cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and a pneumothorax as acute complications of smoke inhalation. In addition, bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis obliterans and pulmonary fibrosis can occur as late complications. We encountered a case of 44-year-old male who presented with acute lung injury after an inhalation injury. He required endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation due to respiratory failure. He was managed successfully with conservative treatment. Later, a cavitary lesion of the left upper lobe was observed on the chest radiography and computed tomography, which was complicated by massive hemoptysis during the follow-up. However, the cavitary lesion disappeared spontaneously without any clinical consequences.
