Satellite images without value-added processing may be nothing but artistic painting. That is in order to benefit from satellite images acquired from money-drinking satellites, we should utilize the paramount information in scientific world and practical lift that can be extracted from image. Hence, the Satellite Technology Research Center has developed a integrated software called "Valadd-Pro". In this paper, the main components of the Valadd-Pro are briefly introduced, its value-added product are compared with PCI$^{\circledR}$ commercial software. Based on the results, the performance of the Valadd-Pro is superior to that of PCI$^{\circledR}$ on 6000$\times$6000 SPOT panchromatic images.

In Korea, over 97% of local energy demand is imported from other countries. And we have to lift the energy independence level up to 5% with replacement energy(renewable energy) such as solar, wind..etc. by 2011 according to the energy agreement made in Kyoto Protocol. So, we proposed some opinions such as the better improvement of solar thermal industry the people' view, cooperation among industry/university/research institutes, remote control/maintenance and government's legislature and supporting system etc.

In this paper, design specifications for a new generation container crane in year 2013 is investigated. After analyzing the trend of the development of container cranes from the 1950s to date, a prospective size for targeting year 2013 is proposed. Introductory specifications of the frame, trolley, hoist and spreader for the proposed new crane are discussed. Considering that the mega-ships will load and unload more than 15000 boxes at one stop, rough dimensions of the crane including outreach, rail gage, lift, backreach, etc. are also suggested. Although the sheer size of the cranes already present some challenges, the biggest challenge is to improve productivity by maximizing the moves per hour. For this, the speeds of trolleys and hoists, rail loads, stability, etc. are discussed.

This paper presents a new prediction method of radiated noise from grille of the airconditioning appliance. Laminar vortex sheddings behind a circular cylinder are simulated by solving two dimensional unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. The Finite Elements Method(FEM) and unstructured grid generation technique are applied to solve, the unsteady lift/drag coefficients are obtained to compute far-field noise using Lighthill's acoustic analogy. Grille is divided into some cylinder segments, and radiated noise from grille is obtained by summing noise generated from each segment. The effects of changing cross section of cylinder and grille geometry are studied. And sound pressure levels radiated from typical H-type grille are measured in KAIST anechoic wind tunnel at various inflow conditions and compared with numerical predictions.

Oscillating airfoil haw been challenged for the dynamic stalls of airfoil am wind turbines at high angle of attach. Especially, the pressure oscillation has a huge effect on noise generation, structure damage, aerodynamic performance am safety, because the flow has strong unsteadiness at high angle of attack. In this paper, the unsteady aerodynamics coefficients were analyzed for the oscillating airfoil at high angle of attack around two dimensional NACA0012 airfoil. The two dimensional unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equation with a LES turbulent model was calculated by OHOC (Optimized High-Order Compact) scheme. The flow conditions are Mach number of 0.2 and Reynolds number of $1.2{\times}10^4$. The lift, drag, pressure distribution, etc. are analyzed according to the pitching oscillation. Unsteady velocity field, periodic vortex shedding, the unsteady pressure distribution, and the acoustic fields are analyzed. The effects of these unsteady characteristics in the aerodynamic coefficients are analyzed.

현재 학계에서는 신재생 에너지에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 그 중 태양광과 풍력이 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Push-Pull 컨버터를 기초한 전류형 PWM 인버터를 제안하고 계통 연계가 가능한 회로로의 타당성을 검증하였다. 스위칭 소자 중 Push-Pull컨버터부의 두 개의 스위치만 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation)을 행하고 계통과 연결된 Full-Bridge의 스위치는 계통의 극성을 판단하여 Auto-ZCS (Zero Current Switching)가 가능하도록 설계하였다.

This paper reports the numerical calculations of uniform turbulent shear flow around a square cylinder. The predictions are obtained by solving the two-dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes equations in a finite volume technique. The turbulent fluctuations are simulated by the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model and one of its variant which takes care of the realizability constraint in order to suppress the excessive generation of turbulence in a stagnation condition. It has been found that the Strouhal number and the mean drag coefficient are almost unaffected by the shear parameter but the mean lift coefficient is increased. The present predictions are compared with available experimental data.

Aerodynamic characteristics, such as drag and lift, play an important role in automobile design under certain speed conditions. Such characteristics are essential to design an automobile since they are directly related to automobile's performance such as passenger safety and fuel consumption. There is a huge demand for the automobile to have safe performance at high speed. Reduction in drag is also important and it could lead to the solution of air flow induced noise and dust problems. The objective of this research is to find out the aerodynamic differences between conventional side mirror and a modified one using CFD. Although drag generated around a side mirror is only about 7% of the total drag when a car runs, it is very closely related to driver's field of vision and noise generation. CFD simulation of the flowfield around a car side-view mirror was performed using a commercial code; Gambit and FLUENT.

Generation mechanisms of pressure waves from the H-IIA launch vehicle are analyzed numerically. The Mach wave radiated downstream from wavy shearlayer of supersonic exhaust plume is revealed to be the dominant noise source. Reflecting from the constructions of the launch-pad, the Mach wave turns to propagate to the vehicles. It was also found that the fluctuating supersonic plume entering into the flame duct is the dominant noise source that appears in the flame duct. Then, the pressure wave propagates through the flame duct and is ejected outside to the vehicle.

Airfoils with improved longitudinal static stability were designed for a WIG craft through aerodynamic design optimization. The response surface method is coupled with NURBS-based shape functions and Navier-Stokes flow analysis. The procedure runs in the network-distributed design framework of commercial-code based automated design capability to enhance computational efficiency and robustness.Lift maximization design maintaining similar static margin to a DHMTU airfoil successfully produced a new airfoil shape characterized by pronounced front-loading and the well-known reflexed aft-camber line. Another airfoil design of lower variation in pitching moment during take-off showed weakened front-loaded characteristics and hence decreased lift slightly. Investigations using the present design methodology on an existing optimization result based on potential flow analysis and NACA-type geometry generation demonstrated significance of carrying various geometry generations and more realistic flow analysis with optimization.
