This paper presents a dynamic characteristics of flow induced vibration of circular cylinder set with inclined angle against flow direction. The effect of the cylinder bounded by spiral fin and wire on the damping of flow induced vibration is investigated, i.e., inclined angle, spiral pitch angle and number of spiral thread are studied. As the results, the cylinder with spiral fin is most effective for the damping. Also the cylinder bounded by pitch angle 50.deg. and 2 spiral thread is most effective.

The swirl effect on an axisymmetric turbulence has been investigated along its centerline by the hot wire anemometry. Flow facility to generate and conrol the swirl has been built by using the rotating honeycomb and grid. For the case of internal flows, as the strength of the swirl increases the flow tends to be locally isotropic by modifying the radial and the rotational components mainly. In comparison with those of the plain free jet, the decay of the centerline turbulences seems to be delayed substantially even with a slight swirl component.

A simple experimental method was developed to help students understand the effect of the Coriolis force on typhoon genesis and movement. It consists of rotating tanks with and without a sloping bottom, and a small stirrer to produce cyclonic typhoon-like vortices by locally stirring the water. Vortices were able to last for more than 3 minutes without dissipation in the rotating tank. However, vortices were hardly maintained without rotation, and would rather disappear as soon as the stirrer stopped mixing. Since the dynamical properties of the rotating water are similar to those of the atmosphere influenced by the Coriolis force, the experiments show that the Coriolis force is indispensable to the typhoon genesis. When the tank had both the sloping bottom and rotation, vortices would move in a particular direction. Considering the topographical beta effect, this result indicates that typhoons are drifted not only by the steering wind but also by the meridional gradient of the Coriolis force. The methodology developed in this study, would be useful for both students and teachers to better the relationship between the Coriolis force and the typhoon genesis.

In this study, detailed air flow characteristics in an urban areas were analyzed using GIS data and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. For this, a building construction algorithm optimized for Geographic Information System (GIS) data with a vector format (Los Angeles region imagery acquisition consortium 2 geographic information system, LARIAC2 GIS) was used. In the LARIAC2 GIS data, building vertices were expressed as latitude and longitude. Using the model buildings constructed by the algorithm as the surface boundary data in the CFD model, we performed numerical simulations for two building-congested areas in Los Angeles using inflow information provided by California Air Resources Board. Comparing with the inflow, there was a marked difference in wind speed and direction within the target areas, which was mainly caused by the secondarily induced local circulations such as street-canyon vortices, horse-shoe vortices, and recirculation zones. In street canyons parallel to the inflow direction, wind speed increased due to a channeling effect and, in street canyons perpendicular to the inflow direction, vertically well developed vortices were induced. In front of a building, a horse-shoe vortex was developed near the surface and, behind a building, a recirculation zone was developed. Near the surface in the areas where the secondarily induced local circulations, wind speed remarkably increased. Overall, wind direction little (largely) changed at the areas where wind speed largely increased (decreased).

Purpose: This study aims to observe bleaching resulted from multipurpose contact lens solutions used to manage lenses with the subjects of colored contact lenses being distributed in Korea. Methods: The lenses have been worn for six months, and their refraction is 0.00D. Three types of colored contact lenses of which margin has been colored with a different manufacturing method have been adopted (type 1: pigment application method, type 2: chemical bonding process, type 3: sandwich method), and multipurpose solutions used were two types containing different components. Each of the colored contact lenses was stored in the multipurpose solutions for 20 days and went through vortexing for 15 seconds per day. Their fluorescence absorbance, surface roughness, brightness index, and color coordinate index were measured before and after the vortexing to see the degree of bleaching. Results: In the two types of multipurpose solutions, every type of the color contact lenses showed no statistically significant difference in their fluorescence absorbance value before and after the vortexing. Regarding surface image, the front surface of the lenses was smooth in every type, and about the back surface, type 3 indicated less protrusion than type 1 and 2. About the difference of color on the lens surface before and after the vortexing, type 3 showed significantly less difference than type 1 and 2; however, all fell into the permissible error. Conclusions: About the bleaching of colored contact lenses resulted from multipurpose solutions for soft contact lenses, there was no difference observed in terms of fluorescence absorbance and color. According to the methods of manufacturing dyes, however, there was difference in the protrusion of the posterior surface image.

A 5-year-old male German shepherd dog was presented with a 4 day-history of anorexia and depression. Abdominal radiographs showed a large soft tissue mass and loss of serosal detail. Ultrasonographs revealed splenomegaly with the lacy pattern parenchyma, perivenous hyperechoic region at the splenic hilum, and loss of splenic venous flow. Computed tomographic findings included the enlarged non-enhanced spleen except perivenous region at the splenic hilum and a whirled soft tissue mass at the splenic hilum. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of splenic torsion. Ultrasonographic findings including lacy appearance, hyperechoic perivenous echogenicity and absence of splenic blood flow and CT findings including no or minimal enhancement of the spleen and a whirled appearance of splenic pedicle could be useful for diagnosing isolated splenic torsion in the dog.

이 논문은 비물리적인 속도 감쇄현상을 감소시키는 새로운 유체시뮬레이션 방법을 제시한다. 제시된 방법은 물리량뿐만 아니라 물리량의 미분정보도 함께 이용하기 때문에 보다 정확한 물리현상을 반영할 수 있다. 나비어-스톡스 방정식을 푸는 일반적인 시뮬레이터는 수치 소산의 대부분은 대류항을 풀 때 발생한다. 따라서, 우리는 소산현상을 효과적으로 막는 CIP 대류방법을 이용하여, 옥트리 기반의 유체 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 우리는 실험을 통해, 제안된 방법이 높은 레이놀즈 수를 갖는 유체의 상세한 움직임(예를 들어, 작은 물방울/공기방울, 얇은 수막, 작은 소용돌이 등)을 효과적으로 모사함을 보인다.

The aerodynamic characteristics of circular cylinder in a channel are studied to make clear the flow feature by solving the Navier-Stokes equation based on the finite volume method with unstructured grids. Reviews are made on with the vorticity, velocity, dynamic pressure, residual and drag, where the Reynolds numbers are 50 and 100. The flows for $Re{\succeq}50$ shows the vortex shedding in the wake, and the result is the same as the case of moving cylinder. The ground effect of flat bottom results in the growth of vortex, being generated in the upper side of the cylinder and elongated in the rear. As the cylinder approaches to wall, for example 0.6, the cylinder plays as a role of blockage to obstruct the flow between the cylinder and wall. The drag coefficients are compared with others' results to confirm the validity of the present numerical simulation.

남극세종기지 상공 중간권계면에서의 중량파(gravity wave)를 연구하기 위해 세종기지 유성 레이더로 관측한 유성 에코를 분석하였다. 2007년 이후 유성 에코의 공간적 이동으로부터 유성 관측 고도에서의 수평 바람 정보를 지속적으로 수집해왔다. 80-100 km 고도에서의 바람 프로파일에서 지구 규모의 성분인 평균 바람(Mean wind), 대기 조석 효과(Tides)를 제거하여 국지적인 규모의 중량파에 의한 바람 변화폭(wind variance)을 결정하였다. 월 단위로 평균한 결과로부터 중량파가 계절과 고도에 대한 뚜렷한 특징을 보이고 있음을 확인하였다. 남극 지역에서의 중량파는 동서방향의 바람(zonal wind)와 저층 대기의 남극 소용돌이(vortex)와 깊은 관련이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 남극 반도에 위치한 Rothera 기지에서의 관측 결과와의 비교를 통하여, 남극 반도에서 발생하는 중량파가 중간권과 저층 대기 사이에서 어떤 역할을 하는 지를 확인할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

최근에 현대 물리학과 과학의 정점에 있는 초전도가속기 같은 고에너지 빔 가속기 시스템에서 Diocotron instability의 연구가 재조명 되고 있다. 환형의 전자 빔 사이로 프로톤 빔을 통과시키는 구조로써 자기장과 회전하는 전자빔의 상호작용에 기초를 두고 있으며 이 환형의 전자 빔이 고에너지의 프로톤 빔을 집속하는 역할을 한다. 하지만 전자빔이 진행함과 동시에 왜곡되는 현상이 발생하는데 이 왜곡되는 현상을 충분히 조절하지 못한다면 프로톤 빔의 손실과 가속하는 빔의 에너지 저하를 초래하게 될 것이고 또한 실험장치 자체에도 큰 결함을 발생 시킬 수 있다. 따라서 Diocotron instability는 가속기를 활성화 하는데 주요한 테마가 될 것이다. 환형의 전자 빔 층은 정전기적 효과로 인해서 안쪽과 바깥쪽의 속도차가 발생하게 되고 이로 인하여 drift instability 가 발생하게 되어서 왜곡이 발생하고 결국에는 몇 개의 소용돌이를 생성하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이를 2차원 원통형 구조의 Particle-in-cell 시뮬레이션을 통하여 연구하였으며 자기장의 효과에 따른 환형의 전자빔의 왜곡현상을 지연시키는 방안에 중점을 두었다. 특히 자기장의 세기, 전자빔의 밀도, 전자빔 층의 두께, 전자빔의 프로필의 차이에 의한 결과로 연구하였다.
