Energy-saving devices for 317K VLCC have been developed from a propulsion standpoint. Two ESD candidates were designed via computational tools. The first device WAFon composes of flow-control fins adapted for the ship wake to reduce the loss of rotational energy. The other is WAFon-D, which is a WAFon with a duct to obtain additional thrust and to distribute the inflow velocity on the propeller plane uniform. After selecting the candidates from the computed results, the speed performances were validated with model-tests. The hydrodynamic characteristics of the ESDs may be found in improved hull and propulsive efficiencies through increased wake fraction.

The sleep homeostatic response significantly affects the state of anesthesia. In addition, sleep recovery may occur during anesthesia, either via a natural sleep-like process to occur or via a direct restorative effect. Little is known about the effects of isoflurane anesthesia on sleep homeostasis. We investigated whether 1) isoflurane anesthesia could provide a sleep-like process, and 2) the depth of anesthesia could differently affect the post-anesthesia sleep response. Nine rats were treated for 2 hours with $ad$ $libitum$ sleep (Control), sleep deprivation (SD), and isoflurane anesthesia with delta-wave- predominant state (ISO-1) or burst suppression pattern-predominant state (ISO-2) with at least a 1-week interval. Electroencephalogram and electromyogram were recorded and sleep-wake architecture was evaluated for 4 hours after each treatment. In the post-treatment period, the duration of transition to slow-wave-sleep decreased but slow wave sleep (SWS) increased in the SD group, but no sleep stages were significantly changed in ISO-1 and ISO-2 groups compared to Control. Different levels of anesthesia did not significantly affect the post-anesthesia sleep responses, but the deep level of anesthesia significantly delayed the latency to sleep compared to Control. The present results indicate that a natural sleep-like process likely occurs during isoflurane anesthesia and that the post-anesthesia sleep response occurs irrespective to the level of anesthesia.

캐비테이션 터널에서 모형선 혹은 부분모형선을 사용하여 3차원 반류분포를 재현시키고자 할 때, 유동조절체를 사용하여 터널 위벽효과(Tunnel wall effect)를 감소시키는 경우가 있다. 유동조절체가 선미후류 유동에 미치는 영향과 터널 위벽효과를 해석하기 위하여 직사각형 단면의 시험부에 설치되어 있는 모형선과 유동조절체 주위 유동을 표면양력판 이론을 사용하여 해석하였다. Sydney Express 모형선 주위 유동에 대한 계산결과에 의하면 선체 표면 압력분포에 미치는 캐비테이션 터널의 위벽효과는 막음비(Blockage)가 5% 이내인 경우에는 무시할 정도이며, 막음비가 20% 이상인 경우에는 상당히 큼을 알 수 있다. 유동조절체를 선미 부근 터널벽에 설치함으로써 선미 유동중 축방향속도가 증가되었으며, 선체표면에서의 압력구배(pressure gradient)는 선미 경계층의 두께가 덜 증가되는 방향으로 변화되었음을 알 수 있었다. 유동조절체를 설치하여 재현된 반류분포는 등속도곡선의 폭이 좁아지기 때문에 추정된 실선반류 분포를 재현하기 위하여 유동조절체를 사용하는 경우가 있다. 표면양력판에 의해 계산된 반류분포는 이상유체 가정을 토대로 계산되었기 때문에 계측된 반류분포와의 차이를 보정하기 위해서는 경계층 계산이나 점성유동계산이 필요하다.

최근 네트워크회선 사용비용의 안정화로 인해 IP방송과 통신장비가 확대 보급되고 있으나, TV, DID와 같은 멀티미디어에는 고가의 네트워크 시스템을 이용한 통합관리 시스템을 사용하고 있지 않다. 제안된 멀티미디어 통합 TCU(terminal control unit)는 Wake-on-Lan을 셋탑박스에 탑재한 후에 기존 네트워크의 IP통신망을 사용하여 TV전원의 On/Off의 상태 확인 및 원격제어, 전원 제어 예약 기능(관제실 소프트웨어 지원), TV채널 변경, 다양한 인터페이스 입출력 AC전원 & Lan포트, RS-232C, IR등을 지원하는 제어기기로 기존에 저가의 제어기기로 사용되던 RF방식과는 다르게 24시간 감시 및 제어할 수 있다. 높은 가격과 확장성이 전무한 기존 제어장비에서 24시간 모니터링 기능과 자동제어 시스템 지원과 저가격인 TCU(Termial Control Unit)의 개발은 폭넓은 사용처를 확보할 것으로 예상된다.

In this work, the comprehensive structural dynamics codes including DYMORE and CAMRAD II are used to validate the higher harmonic control aeroacoustic rotor test (HART) II data in descending flight condition. A total of 16 finite elements along with 17 aerodynamic panels are used for the CAMRAD II analysis; whereas, in the DYMORE analysis, 10 finite elements with 31 equally-spaced aerodynamic panels are utilized. To improve the prediction capability of the DYMORE analysis, the finite state dynamic inflow model is upgraded with a free vortex wake model comprised of near shed wake and trailed tip vortices. The predicted results on aerodynamic loads and blade motions are correlated with the HART II measurement data for the baseline, minimum noise and minimum vibration cases. It is found that an improvement of solution, especially for blade vortex interaction airloads, is achieved with the free wake method employed in the DYMORE analysis. Overall, fair to good correlation is achieved for the test cases considered in this study.

IEEE 802.11b 무선 네트워크에서 스테이션들이 저전력 모드로 동작할 때, 스테이션들은 액세스 포인트 (AP)가 주기적으로 전송하는 비콘(beacon)을 수신하여 동기를 맞춘다. 예정된 시각에 무선채널이 사용 중인 경우 AP에서 비콘 전송이 지연되므로, 스테이션은 비콘을 수신하기 위해 충분한 시간 동안 깨어있어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 수신된 비콘의 지연시간을 측정하여 다음 비콘을 수신하기 위해 스테이션이 깨어있어야 할 시간을 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. AP에서 비콘의 전송지연에 대해 분석하였다. 제안된 방법에 대해 모의실험이 수행되었고 분석을 통해 제안된 방법의 특성을 설명하였다. 스테이션이 깨어있는 시간으로 측정된 결과는 에너지 소모가 개선될 수 있음을 보여준다.

In order to control the tip vortex cavitation occurring around the tip of a rotating propeller blade, researches on the propeller cavitation and blade tip vortex flows have been increased. In this paper, the propeller tip vortex flow for a blunt and sharp tips was studied using an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations solver based on a cell-centered finite volume method. In numerical open water test, torques, thrusts, pressure distributions and vortex flows were compared for various rotating speeds. To consider a hull wake, the nominal wake was specified in inlet boundary condition. Pressure distributions and vortex flows with the hull wake were investigated for various propeller rotating angles. From the results, it was confirmed that the blunt tip propeller delayed the tip vortex flow.

In this paper, the Flow Control Fin(FCF) optimization has been carried out using computational fluid dynamics(CFD) techniques. This study focused on evaluation for the performance of the FCF attached in the stern part of the ship. The main advantage of FCF is to enhance the resistance performance through the lift generation with a forward force component on the foil section, and the propulsive performance by the uniformity of velocity distribution on the propeller plane. This study intended to evaluate these functions and to find optimized FCF form for minimizing viscous resistance and equalizing wake distribution. Four parameters of FCF are used in the study, which were angle and position of FCF, longitudinal location, transverse location, and span length in the optimization process. KRISO 300K VLCC2(KVLCC2) was chosen for an example ship to demonstrate FCF for optimization. The optimization procedure utilized genetic algorithms (GAs), a gradient-based optimizer for the refinement of the solution, and Non-dominated Sorting GA-II(NSGA-II) for Multiobjective Optimization. The results showed that the optimized FCF could enhance the uniformity of wake distribution at the expense of viscous resistance.

Flows over a square cylinder with and without plasma actuation are numerically investigated to see whether plasma actuation can effectively modify vortex shedding from the cylinder and reduce the drag and lift fluctuations. In this study, a plasma synthetic jet actuator is mounted on the rear side of cylinder as a means of direct-wake control. The effect of plasma actuation is considered by adding a momentum forcing term in the Navier-Stokes equations. Results show that the reduction of mean drag and lift fluctuations is obtained for both steady and unsteady actuation. However, the steady actuation is better than the unsteady one in terms of mean drag as well as drag fluctuations. With the strong steady actuation considered, the interaction of two separating shear layers from rear corners is effectively weakened due to the interference of synthetic jets. It results in a merging of synthetic-jet and shear-layer vortices and the increase of vortex shedding frequency. On the other hand, the unsteady actuation generates pulsating synthetic jets in the near wake, but it does not change the vortex shedding frequency for the actuation frequencies considered in this study.

The reliability of sensor networks is generally dependent on the battery power of the sensor nodes that it employs; hence it is crucial for the sensor nodes to efficiently use their battery resources. This research paper presents a method to increase the reliability of sensor nodes by constructing a connected dominating tree (CDT), which is a subnetwork of wireless sensor networks. It detects the minimum number of dominatees, dominators, forwarder sensor nodes, and aggregates, as well as transmitting data to the sink. A new medium access control (MAC) protocol, called Homogenous Quorum-Based Medium Access Control (HQMAC), is also introduced, which is an adaptive, homogenous, asynchronous quorum-based MAC protocol. In this protocol, certain sensor nodes belonging to a network will be allowed to tune their wake-up and sleep intervals, based on their own traffic load. A new quorum system, named BiQuorum, is used by HQMAC to provide a low duty cycle, low network sensibility, and a high number of rendezvous points when compared with other quorum systems such as grid and dygrid. Both the theoretical results and the simulation results proved that the proposed HQMAC (when applied to a CDT) facilitates low transmission latency, high delivery ratio, and low energy consumption, thus extending the lifetime of the network it serves.
