A record-breaking high surface air temperature of 41.0℃ was observed on 1 August 2018 at Hongcheon, South Korea. In this study, to quantitatively determine the formation mechanism of this extremely high surface air temperature, particularly considering the contributions of the foehn and the foehnlike wind, observational data from Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model were utilized. In the backward trajectory analysis, trajectories of 100 air parcels were released from the surface over Hongcheon at 1600 LST on 1 August 2018. Among them, the 47 trajectories (38 trajectories) are tracked back above (below) heights of 1.4 km above mean sea level at 0900 LST 31 July 2018 and are defined as upper (lower) routes. Lagrangian energy budget analysis shows that for the upper routes, adiabatic heating (11.886 × 10³ J kg^-1) accounts for about 77% of the increase in the thermal energy transfer to the air parcels, while the rest (23%) is diabatic heating (3.650 × 10³ J kg^-1). On the other hand, for the lower routes, adiabatic heating (6.111 × 10³ J kg^-1) accounts for about 49% of the increase, the rest (51%) being diabatic heating (6.295 × 10³ J kg^-1). Even though the contribution of the diabatic heating to the increase in the air temperature rather varies according to the routes, the contribution of the diabatic heating should be considered. The diabatic heating is caused by direct heating associated with surface sensible heat flux and heating associated with the turbulent mixing. This mechanism is the Type 4 foehn described in Takane and Kusaka (2011). It is concluded that Type 4 foehn wind occurs and plays an important role in the extreme event on 1 August 2018.

The height of the atmospheric boundary layer indicates the peak developed when turbulence is generated by mixing heat and water vapor, and is generally determined through thermodynamic methods. Wind profilers produce atmospheric information from the scattering of signals sent into the atmosphere. A method for making the spectrum of turbulent components, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, and refractive index structure coefficient was presented to determine the atmospheric boundary layer depth. Compared with the vertical distribution characteristics of potential temperature and specific humidity based on radiosonde data, the determination method of the atmospheric boundary layer height from wind profiler output was evaluated as very useful.

In order to investigate the upwelling and island effects following the wind storm events in the East Sea (i.e., Uljin-Ulleungdo-Dokdo line) during spring, we assessed the vertical and horizontal profiles of abiotic and biotic factors, including phytoplankton communities. The assessment was based on the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) and field survey data. A strong south wind occurred on May 3, when the lowest sea level pressure (987.3 hPa) in 2016 was observed. Interestingly, after this event, huge blooms of phytoplankton were observed on May 12 along the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC), including the in the offshore waters of Ulleungdo and Dokdo. Although the diatoms dominated the EKWC area between the Uljin coastal waters and Ulleungdo, the population density of raphidophytes Heterosigma akashiwo was high in the offshore waters of Ulleungdo-Dokdo. Based on the vertical profiles of Chlorophyll-a (Chl. a), the sub-surface Chl. a maximum appeared at 20 m depths between Uljin and Ulluengdo, whereas relatively high Chl. a was distributed equally across the entire water column around the waters of Ulleungdo and Dokdo islands. This implies that the water mixing (i.e., upwelling) at the two islands, that occurred after the strong wind event, may have brought the rapid proliferation of autotrophic algae, with nutrient input, to the euphotic layer. Therefore, we have demonstrated that a strong south wind caused the upwelling event around the south-eastern Korean peninsula, which is one of the most important role in occurring the spring phytoplankton blooms along the EKWC. In addition, the phytoplankton blooms may have potentially influenced the oligotrophic waters with discrete time lags in the vicinity of Ulleungdo and Dokdo. This indicates that the phytoplankton community structure in the offshore waters of Ulleungdo-Dokdo is dependent upon the complicated water masses moving related to meandering of the EKWC.

A numerical study was carried out to investigate combustion phenomena in a model Scramjet engine, which had been experimentally studied at the University of Tokyo using a high-enthalpy supersonic wind tunnel. The main airflow was Mach number 2.0 and the total temperature of hot flow was 1800K. Equivalence ratio was set to be 0.26 which is higher than that of experiment to investigate the effect of strong precombustion shock. The results showed that self-ignition occurred at the rear bottom wall of the combustor and combined with the shear layer flame between fuel jet and main airflow. Then, precombustion shock was generated at the step location and reversely enhanced the mixing and combustion process behind the shock. Due to the high equivalence ratio, the precombustion shock moved upstream of the step compared with that of experiment.

Interaction between flames and non-thermal plasmas of DBD type has been experimentally investigated. Vigorous streamers were observed under flame conditions because of the increase of reduced field (electrical) at high temperature as well as the seeding of free electrons and ions generated inside the flame. Flame lengths were significantly shortened as the applied voltage increased on account of intense mixing by ionic winds and soot-induced flows. Flame luminosities severely decreased under plasma conditions, which means the reduction of soot, since the residence time was reduced because of the flame shortening. Temperature and major species concentrations measured by FTIR were not changed despite the plasma generation. which shows overall chemistries were not affected by non-thermal plasmas.

Currently, a gas fueled diffusion flame is used for the relay torch system. It could be burned cleanly but should be stable at severe weather condition such as rain of up to 55 mm/h, winds of up to 70 km/h and also produce a highly bright yellow visible flame. This paper presents torch diffusion flame characteristics on the various wind speeds and rainfall conditions. From the results, flame lengths are controlled by the momentum flux ratio of fuel and ambient air flow and flame stability is much influenced by the mixing characteristics with air flow. Flame is fluctuated above than 200 mm/h rainfall and blow out is occurred about 300 mm/h rainfall condition.

스크램 제트 엔진의 설계에서 초음속으로 유입된 공기의 짧은 잔류시간으로 인한 연료-공기의 혼합은 가장 중요하며 해결하기 힘든 문제이다. 전헝적인 비행 조건에서 흡입 공기가 극초음속 비행기 엔진 내에서 잔류하는 시간의 단위는 1 ms 정도이어서 짧은 시간 동안 연료와 공기는 효율적으로 혼합되어야 하며, 최대의 추진력을 얻기 위하여 과도한 공력저항없이 연소 가능한 연료-공기 혼합기를 생성시킬 수 있는 효율적인 연료-공기의 혼합 방법이 요구된다. 현재까지 가장 많이 연구되어 온 혼합 방법은 엔진 입구로 들어오는 공기 유동에 수직 방향으로 연료를 분사하는 것으로 이 방법은 연료 유동 방향과 공기 유동 방향이 수직이기 때문에 추력 손실이 생기는 단점을 갖고 있지만, 초음속으로 유입되는 공기에 수직으로 연료를 분사하게되면 분사 위치 앞에 궁형 충격파가 생겨서 감속되어 유동이 회전하는 재순환영역이 생기고 연료의 혼합이 잘 이루어지는 장점이 있다.

The sensitivity analysis of two short-term models (ISCST3, INPUFF2.5) is performed to improve the model accuracy. It appears that the sensitivities on the changes of wind speed, stack height and stack inner diameter in the near distance from source, stability and mixing height in the remote distance form source, are significant. Also the gas exit velocity, stack inner diameter, gas temperature and air temperature which affect the plume rise have some effects on the concentration values of each model within the downwind distance where final plume rise is determined. And in modeling for the atmospheric dispersion of point pollutant source INPUFF2.5 can calculate amount, trajectory of puff and concentration versus time at each receptors. So, it is compatible to analyze distribution of point pollutants concentration at modeling area.

도시기온분포에 영향을 미치는 요인은 매우 복잡하기 때문에 최근 세부적인 도시열환경 분포현황을 파악하기 위해서 국지규모 모델을 이용하여 그 사례를 밝히고 있다. 도시의 열환경구조가 land use와 밀접한 관련이 있다는 것은 이미 밝혀진 사실이나 보다 상세 격자를 이용한 도시지역의 열환경구조를 land use와 관련지어 연구 분석한 사례는 국내에서 거의 없는 실정이다. 즉, 국지지역의 열환경변화를 묘사하기 위해서는 종관기상장과 관련된 초기 및 경계조건 결정의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 다중격자체계의 모델 사용이 요구되는 실정이다.
