This work comes within the framework of the "Benchmark on the Aerodynamics of a Rectangular Cylinder" that investigates a rectangular cylinder of length-to-depth ratio equal to 5. The present study reports and discusses velocity fields acquired using planar Particle Image Velocitmetry for several angles of attack and Reynolds numbers. In particular, for a cylinder depth-based Reynolds number of 2 × 10⁴ and zero incidence angle, the flow features along the lateral (parallel to the freestream) upper and lower surfaces of the cylinder are reported. Using first and second order statistics of the velocity field, the main flow features are discussed, especially the size and location of the time-averaged flow structures and the distribution of the Reynolds stresses. The variation of the flow features with the incidence is also studied considering angles of attack up to 6°. It is shown that the time-averaged flow is fully detached for incidence higher than 2°. For an angle of attack of 0°, the effects of the Reynolds number varying between 5 × 10³ and 2 × 10⁴ are investigated looking at flow statistics. It is shown that the time-averaged location of the reattachment point and the shape and position of the time-averaged main vortex are mostly constant with the Reynolds number. However, the size of the inner region located below the time-averaged shear layer and just downstream the leading edge corner appears to be strongly dependent on the Reynolds number.

This paper presents a comprehensive study of pressure developed on different faces of a 'Y' plan shape tall building using both numerical and experimental means. The experiment has been conducted in boundary layer wind tunnel located at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India for flow condition corresponding to terrain category II of IS:875 (Part 3) - 1987, at a mean wind velocity of 10 m/s. Numerical study has been carried out under similar condition using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package of ANSYS, namely ANSYS CFX. Two turbulence models, viz., $k-{\varepsilon}$ and Shear Stress Transport (SST) have been used. Good conformity among the numerical and experimental results have been observed with SST model yielding results of higher magnitude. Peculiar pressure distribution on certain faces has been observed due to interference effect. Furthermore, flow pattern around the model has also been studied to explain the phenomenon occurring around the model.

KOMPSAT-5는 우리나라 최초의 X 밴드 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) 탑재 인공위성으로, 2013년 8월부터 운영되고 있다. KOMPSAT-5는 운영 목적에 따라 지구환경 감시에 적극적으로 활용되고 있으며, 연안 환경 감시를 위한 고해상도 해상풍의 필요성이 강조되면서 KOMPSAT-5의 활용도도 부각되고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 해상풍 정확도 검증 연구에서는 다른 SAR 탑재 인공위성 기반 해상풍에 비해 정확도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 KOMPSAT-5 기반 해상풍의 정확도 개선을 위한 후방산란계수 보정식을 산출하였고, 보정식의 개선 효과를 해양 부이 자료를 활용하여 검증하였다. 18장의 미국 서부와 하와이 연안을 관측한 KOMPSAT-5 자료와 해양 부이 자료를 활용하여 후방산란계수 보정식을 산출하였고, 산출한 후방산란계수 보정식은 18장의 한반도 연안을 관측한 KOMPSAT-5 자료에 적용하여 해상풍을 산출하였다. 이론적으로 산출된 후방산란계수와 KOMPSAT-5에서 관측된 후방산란계수는 입사각에 따른 1차 함수 관계식을 따르는 것으로 나타났다. 보정식을 적용하기 전에는 2.89 m s^-1의 상대적으로 큰 평균 제곱근 오차와 -0.55 m s^-1의 편차를 보였다. 보정식을 적용한 후에는 각각 1.60 m s^-1, -0.38 m s^-1로 개선되었다. 입사각의 범위에 따라 후방산란계수 보정식의 개선 효과는 다르게 나타났다.

Numerical research on four typical configurations of noise mitigation structures and their characteristics of wind loads are reported in this paper. The turbulence model as well the model parameters, the modeling of the equilibrium atmospheric boundary layer, the mesh discretization etc., were carefully considered in the numerical model to improve the numerical accuracy. Also a numerical validation of one configuration with the wind tunnel test data was made. Through detailed analyses of the wind load characteristics with the inclined part and the wind incidence angle, it was found that the addition of an inclined part to a noise mitigation structure at-grade would affect the mean nett pressure coefficients on the vertical part, and that the extent of this effect depends on the length of the inclined part itself. The magnitudes of the mean nett pressure coefficients for both the vertical part and the inclined part of noise mitigation structure at-grade tended to increase with length of inclined part. Finally, a comparison with the wind load code British/European Standard BS EN 1991-1-4:2005 was made and the envelope of the mean nett pressure coefficients of the noise mitigation structures was given for design purposes. The current research should be helpful to improve current wind codes by providing more reasonable wind pressure coefficients for different configurations of noise mitigation structures.

Due to the complex terrain around high-speed railways, the windbreaks were established along different landforms, resulting in irregular windbreak transition regions between different subgrade infrastructures (flat ground, cutting, embankment, etc). In this paper, the effect of a windbreak transition on the wind flow around railways subjected to crosswinds was studied. Wind tunnel testing was conducted to study the wind speed change around a windbreak transition on flat ground with a uniform wind speed inflow, and the collected data were used to validate a numerical simulation based on a detached eddy simulation method. The validated numerical method was then used to investigate the effect of the windbreak transition from the flat ground to cutting (the "cutting" is a railway subgrade type formed by digging down from the original ground) for three different wind incidence angles of 90°, 75°, and 105°. The deterioration mechanism of the flow fields and the reasons behind the occurrence of the peak wind velocities were explained in detail. The results showed that for the windbreak transition on flat ground, the impact was small. For the transition from the flat ground to the cutting, the influence was relatively large. The significant increase in the wind speeds was due to the right-angle structure of the windbreak transition, which resulted in sudden changes of the wind velocity as well as the direction. In addition, the height mismatch in the transition region worsened the protective effect of a typical windbreak.

In the actual sea, the additional resistance due to external force such as wind, current and wave is accompanied, and the required power is added in response to these resistance. Especially when the ship is sailing at low speed, the effects of wind and current have a great impact on the safe control of the ship. Likewise, it is thought that the effects of wind and current have a great impact on the trawl ship control since the towing speed of a bottom trawl ship is a low speed of 3 to 4 knots. If the reduce of ship speed and the increase of engine power due to the influence of wind and current can be identified, the safe towing power can be calculated based on a given engine output. Thus, the appropriate size of a fishing gear can be determined. In this study, a total of 20 trawl operations were conducted for seasonal maritime research in the same research area according to the operation mode of propeller. Based on navigation data, trawl fishing data, and engine performance data acquired during the towing fishing gear, and data of ship speed, hull resistance, fishing gear resistance, wind force and current force according to an incidence angle were estimated. The overall power for these loads was calculated and compared with the measured engine power, and the effects of wind force and current force on the engine power were investigated.

Using a wind tunnel testing, the aerodynamic load characteristics of an elliptic airfoil was described. The experimental data was obtained for angles of attack $-20^{\circ}$ to $+20^{\circ}$ with $2^{\circ}$ increments at a chord Reynolds number of $0.99{\times}105$ and $2.48{\times}105$. For each test case, chordwise suction pressure distributions and wake surveys were obtained. Static pressure measurements were made over a 10 sec averaging time at a 10 Hz sampling rate. For each case, wake survey was conducted with a pilot-static probe at 1.0c downstream from the trailing edge at very fine spacing to resolve the wake velocity deficit profile. As can be expected, suction pressure coefficient was increased with angle of attack. The normal force, CNmax, appeared peak value at the incidence angle of $12^{\circ}~14^{\circ}$, and the significant increase in profile drag at this range of angles of attack.

해상풍은 복잡한 해양 현상을 이해하는 데 가장 기초 요소 중 하나이다. 1990년대 초부터 산란계를 활용하여 전세계 바람장 자료를 생산해왔지만, 낮은 해상도로 인해 해양 연구에 제한적으로 사용되었다. Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)는 이러한 한계점을 보완하여 고해상도의 바람장 자료 생산이 가능하다. KOMPSAT-5는 한반도 최초의 X-band SAR 탑재 인공위성으로 고해상도 해상풍 산출이 가능하다. 본 연구는 KOMPSAT-5 후방산란계수 자료를 활용하여 산출한 해상풍의 검증 결과를 최초로 제시하였다. 18장의 KOMPSAT-5 ES 모드 자료를 수집하여 해양 부이와의 일치점 데이터베이스를 생산하였다. 정확한 해상풍 산출을 위해 육지 화소, 스페클 잡음, 선박 화소를 제거하는 전처리 과정을 거쳤고, 해양 부이 실측 자료에 Liu-Katsaros-Businger (LKB) 모델을 통해 10-m 중성 바람으로 변환하여 기준 자료로 활용하였다. XMOD2를 활용하여 산출한 해상풍은 후방산란계수 산출식에 따라 $2.41-2.74m\;s^{-1}$의 평균 제곱근 오차를 보였다. 분석 결과 KOMPSAT-5 후방산란계수 자료를 활용하여 해상풍을 산출하는 경우, 대기 중력파, 파랑, 내부파를 포함한 해양 기상 환경과 레인지 모호성(range ambiguity), 입사각의 이산적 불연속적 분포를 포함한 영상 품질에 의한 잠재적 오차 요인이 존재함을 규명하였다.

An experimental study was performed on the time lag, lift and drag characteristics of a multi functional spoiler which is a device to increase lift and drag contrary to conventional spoiler which decrease lift and increase drag. In this study, a wind tunnel investigation was made of the effect of incidence angle, slot width, and chordwise location of multi functional spoiler on the time lag, lift and drag characteristics of a wing. The results indicate that the time lag of a multi functional spoiler is influenced mainly not only by the chordwise location of a spoiler but also by the slot width between spoiler and wing upper surface. Multi functional spoiler can reduce time lag effectively by slotting the trailing edge of spoiler with slot ratio (slot width devided by the wing chord length) between 0.05 and 0.1. Also, it shows that the lift and drag coefficients of the wing with the multi functional spoiler and trailing edge flap are increased by 20% and 80%, respectively, compared to the wing with trailing edge flap only.

Gravity ventilators allow the escape of the warm air and air contaminants due to both (either) buoyancy and (or) convection. As a natural ventilation strategy, various gravity ventilators can be installed on the roof. Ventilation efficiency could be affected by various parameters, such as, area of openings, wind velocity and incidence angle, temperature difference between inside and outside, and shape of ventilator. Especially, the shape of roof gravity ventilator might be one of influencing factors for the effective ventilation. The window type gravity ventilators are frequently installed instead of general (standard) gravity ventilator. However, the ventilation efficiencies of them were not proved yet. To compare the ventilation efficiency, general type ventilator and two window type ventilators were numerically tested. Mean age of air, temperature and CO concentration were predicted by using commercial CFD code, AIRPAK (Ver. 2.0) with various conditions. The predicted result showed that general type ventilator is more effective for natural ventilation than window type ventilators.
