Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) field is mainly studied to monitor and characterize large-scale physical environments to track various environmental or physical conditions, such as temperature, pressure, wind speed and humidity. WSN can be used in various applications such as wild surveillance, military target tracking and monitoring, dangerous environmental exploration and natural disaster relief. We design probabilistic mobile models that apply to mobile ad hoc network mobile environments. A probabilistic shift model proposed by dividing the number of moving nodes and the distance of travel into two categories to express node movement characteristics. The proposed model of movement through simulation was compared with the existing random movement model, ensuring that the width and variation rate of the first node node node node (FND) was stable regardless of the node movement rate. In addition, when the proposed mobile model is applied to the routing protocol, the superiority of network life can be verified from measured FND values. We overcame the limitations of the existing random movement model, showing excellent characteristics in terms of energy efficiency and stable in terms of changes in node movement.

This article proposes a pressure based method for predicting flows at all speeds. The compressible SIMPLE algorithm is extended to unstructured grid framework. Convection terms are discretized using second-order scheme with deferred correction approach. Diffusion term discretization is based on structured grid analogy that can be easily adopted to hybrid unstructured grid solver. This method also uses node centered scheme with edge based data structure for memory and computing time efficiency of arbitrary grid types. Both incompressible and compressible benchmark problems are solved using the above methodology. The demonstration of this method is extended to slip flow problem that has low Reynolds number but compressibility effect. It is shown that the proposed method can improve efficiency in memory usage and computing time without losing any accuracy.

To overcome the drawbacks of conventional load-control method and displacement-control method, the so-called volume-control method was developed by utilizing a pressure node added into a layered shell element. The pressure node has an increment of pressure as an additional degree of freedom of the shell element. In this study, the hollow RC columns are discretized with multi-layered shell elements and a modeling technique utilizing the volume-control analysis for various hollow RC column structures is introduced. The results of the nonlinear analysis using the modeling for hollow RC columns subjected to lateral reversed cyclic loading as well as lateral loading under compression are shown. Validity of the modeling technique is also verified by comparing the analysis results with experimental results and other analysis data.

유체 공급배관내의 압력진동을 감쇠할 수 있는 방법으로 배관내에 오리피스를 설치하는 방법을 채택하여, 그 압력진동 감쇠효과를 수치해석을 통해 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는, 압력진동의 진폭이 작다는 가정에 기초하여 오리피스의 음향학적 감쇠효과에 초점을 맞추었다. 오리피스의 위치에 따른 계산 결과로부터 압력진동의 마디, 즉 속도진동의 배가 되는 위치에 오리피스를 설치할 때 가장 효과적으로 압력 진동이 감쇠되었다. 이에 반해서, 오리피스를 압력진동의 배에 설치한 경우에는 오리피스의 설치 효과가 아주 미약하였다. 오리피스의 유로 봉쇄율이 증가함에 따라 감쇠효과는 단조적으로 증가하였고, 오리피스의 두께가 증가할수록 공진성을 약화시켜 감쇠효과가 크게 나타났다. 또한, 직경이 작은 배관에서 감쇠 효과가 더 크게 나타났다.

상수관망의 수리학적 거동을 해석함에 있어 현재까지 제안된 일반적인 방법은 유량기반 수리해석(Demand Driven Analysis, DDA)과 압력기반 수리해석(Pressure Driven Analysis, PDA)이다. DDA는 상수관망이 정상적으로 운영되는 상태에서 수리해석 결과를 빠르게 제시할 수 있으며, PDA는 관파괴 및 관내 저압력 상태시 DDA 방법으로는 모의할 수 없는 각 절점의 실질적인 공급가능유량을 제시할 수 있다. PDA 수행에 있어 우선적으로 각 절점에서 특정 압력마다 공급가능유량을 산정할 수 있는 관계식(Head-Outflow Relationship, HOR)을 결정해야 한다. 기존 연구들에서는 상수관망을 구성하는 각 절점에서 HOR이 다르고 각 절점의 HOR 검증을 위해서는 현장데이터의 실측이 필요하다고 지적하였다. 또한 다중 관파괴 상황과 같이 수리학적 조건이 변경된 상태에서 각 절점의 HOR 특성을 파악하기 위해서는 모든 절점에 모니터링 시스템이 구축되어 있어야 하는 제약조건이 있다. 본 연구는 실제 상수관망 형태의 모의 상수관망을 제작하여 상수관망의 정상상태 및 현장에서 측정이 어려운 비정상상태 운영조건을 시나리오별로 구성하고 각 조건 하에서 절점들의 압력 및 유량을 실시간으로 확인하였다. 또한 측정된 실험결과와 기존 HOR 관계식을 비교 평가하여 최소 오차 결과를 보이는 HOR을 제시하였으며, 특정 절점에서 다중 관파괴 발생시 HOR 특성을 파악하였다. 이로부터 관파괴 위치가 다르거나 다중 관파괴가 발생하더라도 특정 절점의 압력(수두) 저하에 따른 공급가능유량의 축소 현상은 본래 대상 절점이 가지고 있는 지수함수 형태인 고유한 HOR을 따라 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 실험을 통해 측정한 압력-유량 관계와 기존 HOR 식들을 비교한 결과 최소 오차를 보이는 지수함수 형태의 Wagner 등1)이 제안한 식을 최적의 HOR 관계식으로 제안하며, 해당 식의 지수 m은 3.0으로 적용할 것을 제안한다.

Purpose: Particle separation in solution is one of important process in a unit operation as well as in an extract preparation for biosensors. Contrary to centrifuge-type of mesh-type filter, using an ultrasonic standing wave make the filtering process continuous and free from maintenance. It is needed to investigate the characteristics of particle movement in the ultrasonic standing wave field. Methods: Through the computer simulation the effects of major design and driving parameters on the alignment characteristics of particles were investigated, and a cylindrical chamber with up-stream flow type was devised using two circular-shape PZTs on both sides of the chamber, one for transmitting ultrasonic wave and the other for just reflecting it. Then, the system performance was experimentally investigated as well. Results: The speed of a particle to reach pressure-node plane increased as the acoustic pressure and size of particle increased. The maximum allowable up-stream flow rate could be calculated as well. As expected, exact numbers of pressure-node planes were well formed at specific locations according to the wavelength of ultrasonic wave. As the driving frequency of PZT got close to its resonance frequency, the bands of particles were observed clearer, which meant the particles were trapped into narrower space. Higher excitation voltages to the PZT produced a greater acoustic force with which to trap particles in the pressure-node planes, so that the particles gathered could move upwards without disturbing their alignments even at a higher inlet flow rate. Conclusions: This research showed the feasibility of particle separation in solution in the continuous way by an ultrasonic standing wave. Further study is needed to develop a device to collect or harvest those separated particles.

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) are similar to the terrestrial sensor networks. Nevertheless, there are different characteristics among them such as low battery power, limited bandwidth and high variable propagation delay. One of the common major problems in UWSNs is determining an efficient and reliable routing between the source node and the destination node. Therefore, researchers tend to design efficient protocols with consideration of the different characteristics of underwater communication. Furthermore, many routing protocols have been proposed and these protocols may be classified as location-based and location-free routing protocols. Pressure-based routing protocols are a subcategory of the location-free routing protocols. This paper focuses on reviewing the pressure-based routing protocols that may further be classified into non-void avoidance protocols and void avoidance protocols. Moreover, non-void avoidance protocols have been classified into single factor based and multi factor based routing protocols. Finally, this paper provides a comparison between these protocols based on their features, performance and simulation parameters and the paper concludes with some future works on which further study can be conducted.

Due to global climate change, mega-droughts have occurred frequently. Since long-term droughts make it difficult to secure the water resources, water supply needs to be restricted in a reasonable manner. In the event of limited water supply, the waterworks need to develop a restricted water supply strategy. This study showed that analyzing daily water supply could be used to respond to the first stage of a drought. According to an analysis of Korea's major water authorities, there was about 7~21% of room for daily minimum water supply in case of a drought. Restricting the water supply by lowering pressure is a good strategy for local water authorities with high water leakage rate since leakage is inversely dependent with pressure. For this method, it is necessary to quantify water deficiency and pressure at each node using a simulation. Since DDA-based software is not possible to predict changes in demand at nodes with pressure reduction, WaterGEMS, a PDA software, was used to quantitatively predict water shortages and pressures at each node. Locations where water is deficient need to install booster pumps or to be dispatched with water tank truck and bottled water. Without these support, lowering pressure could not be an option for water works. This paper suggests a method for waterworks to plan a drought by lowering pressure to restrict water supply using daily water supply analysis and PDA based simulation.

Sensor node means a device to include sensor, amplifier, and data acquisition (DAQ) equipment. The sensor converts physical signals to electric signals and weak signals from the sensor can be amplified through the amplifier. DAQ equipment converts analog signal to digital signal and collects converted digital signal. Since the sensor node is sensitive to the environment so that selection of mounting position and fixture design of sensor are applied differently depending on the characteristics of a target. This study is about designing and manufacturing sensor node to be used in a machine tool. The environment of machine tool is very severe due to noise, temperature fluctuation, and dust, etc. Hence, the sensor and amplifier must be designed and manufactured by considering the environmental issues. The designed and manufactured sensor node was tested for the reliability and effectiveness of the developed sensor nodes in the study.

Recently, the systems using multiple sensors such as magnetic, acoustic and pressure sensor are used for detection of underwater objects or vehicles. Those systems have difficulty of maintenance and repair because they operate underwater. Thus, this paper describes a hybrid detection system with long term operating reliability. This has a multi-signal transmission structure to have a high reliability. First, a signal transmission & receiving part, which transfers data from underwater sensors to land and receive control message from land through optical cable, has 4 multi-path. Second, the nodes for signal transmission are connected dually each other with single-hop construction and sensors are connected to a couple of neighboring nodes. This enables the output signal to transmit from a node to the next node and the next but one node together. Also, the signal from a sensor can be transmitted to two nodes at the same time. Therefore, the system with this construction has high reliability in long term operation because it makes possible to transmit sensor data to another node which works normally although a transmission node or cable in system have some faults.
