  • The conductance of a microscopic constriction in a two-dimensional electron gas is obtained as a function of both the constriction width and curvature. When the quantized conductance G at plateaus is given by the channel number Nc times the quantum unit 2e2/h, Nc is found to be a function of not only the width and but also the curvature. At a given W, Nc increases by one whenever the constriction curvature decreases by about a certain value. Until the shape smoothness becomes comparable to the two parallel boundaries, there exist more channels avaliable for conduction in a smaller-curvature constriction than in a larger-curvature one. This result is very interesting because Nc has been considered to depend on the width W only. this reflects that the number of the quantized transverse levels depend o both the constriction width and curvature in a two-dimensional electron gas.

  • Tidal current power system is one of ocean renewable energies that can minimize the environmental impact with many advantages compared to other energy sources. Not like others, the produced energy can be precisely predicted without weather conditions and also the operation rate is very high. To convert the current into power, the first device encountered to the incoming flow is the rotor that can transform into rotational energy. The performance of rotor can be determined by various design parameters including numbers of blade, sectional shape, diameter, and etc. The stream lines near the rotating rotor is very complex and the interference effects around the system is also difficult to predict. This paper introduces the experiment of rotor performance and also the effect of design parameter on the performance of HAT rotor by CFD.

  • The shape of a streamflow hydrograph is very much controlled by the area and depth of snow cover in mountain area. The purpose of this study is to suggest extraction methods for snow cover area and depth using NOAA/AVHRR images in Soyanggang watershed. Snow cover area maps ware derived form channel 1, 3, 4 images of NOAA/AVHRR based on threshold value. In order to extract snow cover depth, snow cover area maps were overlaid daily snow depth data form 7 meteorological observation stations. Snow cover area and depth was mapped for period of Dec. 2002 and Mar. 2003. For evaluating snowmelt changes, depletion curve was created using daily snow cover area in the same period. It is necessary to compare these results with observed data and check the applicability of the suggested method in snowmelt simulation.

  • A comparison of fully developed heat transfer and friction factor characteristics has been made in rectangular ducts with ones roughened by five different shapes. The effects of rib shape geometries and Reynolds number are examined. The rib height-to-duct hydraulic diameter, pitch-to height ratio, and aspect ratio of channel width to height are fixed at $e$/De=0.0476, P/$e$=8, and W/H=2.33, respectively. To understand the mechanisms of the heat transfer enhancements, the measurements of the friction factors are also conducted in the smooth and rough channels. The data indicates that the triangular type rib has a substantially higher heat transfer performance than any other ones in the range we studied.

  • An optimized method for determining beta-emitting $^{241}$ Pu in the presence of alpha-emitting nuclides was developed using a liquid scintillation counting system. PSA-level was setting using pulse-shape discrimination. The $^{241}$ Pu counting channel was adjusted for maximum value of FM using the $^{241}$ Pu standard source. The volume of scintillant was determined for the maximum value of counting efficiency. The optimized method of $^{241}$ Pu has been applied to environmental samples to measure concentration of $^{241}$ Pu in soils and mosses. Also it has been identified the origin of Pu deposited in Korea from the activity ratio $^{241}$ Pu / $^{239,240}$Pu.

  • One of the key components to accomplish WDM all-optical network is an arrayed waveguide grating router. The spectral characterisitc of the ypeical arrayed waveguide grating rouger has parabolic shape, hence the bandwidth is limited. The spectral response of an optical filter should be as flat as possible for the reliable operation of the syste, because the center frequency of the optical source could be deviated in the actual system. In order to acquire these characteristics, we propose and design a new type of the arrayed waveguide grating router with a flat passband using the Fourier optics concept. The BPM simulation results of the new arrayed waveguide grating router with the flat passband show that the bandwideth is 0.8 nm at -1 dB, instertion loss about 6 dB, and the crosstalk less than -23 dB fro each cnannel, which is 1.6 nm(200 GHz) separated from the adjacent channel around 1550 nm wavelength range.

  • Shipwaves am have harmful effects on ships working on the sea, in a harbour or navigational channel and caused beach erosion, seawall destruction. This study aims to investigate describe the characteristics of the wave pattern generated by an individual model ship tested at different velocities and hull forms for a given water depth and to investigate the variations at a given distance from the sailing line under the same conditions. As a result, the angles a's by model ship tests are smaller than those by real ship ones. Wave heights decreases with an increasing the mid-ship cross sectional area $A_s$. The maximum wave height and period increase rapidly in the subcritical speed, and beyond the critical speed the height and period decrease with increasing depth Froude number. And the period keeps constant with the distance from the sailing line.

  • The fishing boat propulsion system employing the modified stern shape and the tunnel to protect a propeller is developed to increase the cruise speed and reduce he problem resulting from the open propeller accidentally catching the waste net and able on the sea. Using 3 different tunnel types, the model test was performed in the circular water channel and the panel method based on the potential theory is applied to analyze the open water performance of the propeller. In the numerical analysis using he potential-based panel method, it calculates the hydrodynamic interaction between the propeller and the tunnel and evaluates the effect of the tunnel geometry. From the numerical and experimental results differing tunnel geometries, the propulsion efficiency is increased by the larger diameter of the inlet than the outlet of the tunnel and the smaller gap between the propeller tip and the tunnel internal surface. These results provide the information of the propeller system with the tunnel and the hydrodynamic interaction between the propeller and the tunnel.

  • Recently, expansion of micro-technology parts requires micro-precision machining technology. Micro-groove machining is important to fabricate micro-grating lens and many micro-parts such as microscope lens, fluidic graphite channel etc. Conventional groove fabrication methods such as etching and lithography have some problems in efficiency and surface integrity. But, mechanical micromachining methods using single crystal diamond tools can reduce these problems in chemical process. For this reason, microfabrication methods are expected to be very efficient, and widely studied. This study deals with machinability in micro-precision V-grooves machining of nickel plated layer using non-rotational single crystal diamond tool and 3-axis micro stages. Micro V-groove shape, chip formation and tool wear were investigated for the analysis of machinability of Ni plated layer.
