The underwater acoustic communication is characterized by doubly spread channels, which are the delay spread due to multiple paths and the doppler spread due to environmental fluctuations or a moving platform. An equalizer is used to remove the inter-symbol interferences that the delay spread causes, but an equalizer doesn't use an acoustic environment such as a multipath. However, a passive time-reversal mirror is simpler than an equalizer because a matched filter is implemented numerically at the receiver structure along with one-way propagation. In this paper, a passive time-reversal mirror is applied to remove interferences due to a multipath in sea-going experimental data in East Sea in Oct. 2010 and improved communication performance is confirmed. The performance is verified by comparing the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio before/after passive time-reversal mirror. It is also performed independently of the passive time-reversal mirror and adaptive equalizer and the bit error rate is compared to verify the performance of underwater acoustic communication.

A low order panel method based on the perturbation potential is applied for prediction of performance of blown-flap rudders. In order to improve the solution behavior at the large angle of attacks, the geometry of the trailing wake sheet is computed by aligning freely with the local flow. The effect of the wake sheet roll-up is also included with use of a high order panel method. The flow in the gap between the main component and the flap of the rudder is modeled as Couette flow. The effects of the gap and the flow jet are included in application of a kinematic and a dynamic boundary condition on the inlet and the outlet of the gap as well as on the flap and the wake. The results with the present method are compared with existing experimental data. The method is shown to be capable of determining accurately the flow characteristics even for large flap angles.

본 연구에서는 전자 플로터 시스템의 관한 것으로, 특히 수표면 위에서 작용하는 바람, 파도 등의 영향을 거의 받지 않으면서 물의 흐름방향에 순응하여 이동할 수 있도록 함으로써 정확한 유속 측정이 가능하도록 한 연직 다 지점 GPS 전자 플로터 시스템 및 이를 이용한 유속 측정방법을 제시하였다. 일반적으로 대기나 해양, 하천 등에서 유동 유체의 유동상태를 파악하기 위하여 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 같은 연구에서 유체의 유동 특성을 파악하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 통한 모델링을 하는 것이 한 방법이나, 이는 실제 유체가 유동하는 환경에서 발생되는 요인들을 나타내기 위해서는 한계가 있기 때문에 실제 측정을 통한 검증만큼 실제적이진 못하였다. 본 연구의 유속 측정 장치는 GPS 수신기를 탑재한 GPS 전자플로터가 수표면에 부유하고 라인으로 연결된 수중 추진부인 가이드볼, 중량보강부재로 구성되어져 있다. 기존 연구의 GPS 전자플로터는 1구형으로 표면유속만 측정 할 수 있었고 바람, 파도와 같은 외부영향에 대한 단점이 있었다. 이를 보완하기 위해 연직 다 지점 GPS 전자 플로터를 개발하였으며 이는 수표면 위에서 가해지는 바람, 파도 등의 영향을 거의 받지 않고, 하측에서 지지해주는 가이드볼이 물의 흐름에 의해 자연스럽게 자전할 수 있도록 구성되어져 보다 원활하게 물의 흐름에 순응하여 이동하고 수심에 따라 가이드볼 개수를 조절할 수 있기 때문에 대하천에서 운용이 가능하다. 이러한 유속 측정 장치 개발은 접근의 위험성과 안정성이라는 장점을 가지고 있으며 대하천 및 중소하천에서도 다양하게 운용이 가능하다. 또한 화학유출사고와 같은 문제가 많이 발생하는 요즘 화학사고와 관련된 연구들에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

An experimental investigation on the structure and dynamic behavior of two dimensional over-expanded air jets exiting into water was carried out. The hish speed digital video imaging and static pressure distribution measurement were made to characterize the structure and time-dependant behavior of the jets. Mach number at the jet exit was 2.0 and was slightly less than the value predicted by the ideal nozzle calculation. Variance of jet spreading angle at different stagnation condition was measured as a function of mass flow rate. Periodic nature of the air jet distortion in water was observed and the frequency of the repetition was approximately 5-6 Hz for all cases tested. Three characteristic length scales were defined to characterize jet structure. $L_1$, maximum width of the plume when the periodic instability occurs, $L_2$, width of the jet where secondary reverse flow entrained jet flow and $L_3$, distance from the jet exit to the location where entrainment of the secondary reverse flow occurs. The ratio of $L_1$ and $L_2$ decreased with increasing stagnation pressure, i.e. mass flow rate. $L_3$ increased with increasing stagnation pressure. The temporal behavior of static pressure measurements also showed peak around frequency of 5, which corresponds the frequency obtained by visual measurements

A three-dimensional higher order boundary element method based on the B-spline is presented. The method accurately models piecewise continuous bodies and induced velocity potentials using B-spline tensor product representations, and it is capable of obtaining accurate pointwise values for the potential and its derivatives, especially in the trailing edge and tip region of the lift generating body, which may be difficult or impossible to evaluate with constant panel methods. In addition, we implement a wake roll-up and examine the tip vortex formation in the near wake region. The results are compared with existing numerical results and the results of experiments performed out at the cavitation tunnel of Chungnam National University.

원자력, 화력발전소, 제철소 등의 다양한 임해 공업시설로부터 방출되는 냉각용 온배수는 연안일대 해수의 열균형을 파괴시켜 생태계의 보존 및 환경관리에 좋지 못한 영향을 야기케 된다. 이러한 영향은 해안 또는 만내의 수중온도를 전반적으로 높일뿐 아니라 가동중단시 갑자기 수온을 떨어뜨려 해양생물상에 피해를 줄수도 있다. 또한 온배수에 의하여 온도가 상승된 해수가 취수구를 통하여 재순환되어 냉각기능의 부진을 초래하게되면 발전효율 또는 기계가동율을 저하시키게 된다. 이러한 측면에서 온배수의 확산에 대한 정성, 정량적인 예측은 환경영향평가, 취.배수구 설계조건의 산정 등에 매우 중요한 문제라 하겠다. 본 연구는 정지수역으로 유입하는 3차원 정상류 표면온배수 해석모형의 개발로서 개발된 모형의 수치실험을 통하여 온배수 확산의 물리적 특성을 규명한다. 지배방정식에 나타나는 Reynolds 응력항($)과 온도유동 프럭스항($)의 해석에서 필요한 난류모델은 k-$\varepsilon$ 모형에 난류 평균자승 온도유동($) 및 그 감쇄방정식을 추가한 4-방정식 모델로서 구성하였다. 아울러 3차원 정상류 모형에서 야기되는 타원형 방정식을 포물형 방정식의 형태로 전환하여 효과적으로 해석할 수 있도록 모델의 특성을 정리하였다. 본 모델의 검증을 위하여 Lal 및 Rajaratnam(1977)의 물리적 실험값과 비교해본 결과 온배수 거동의 물리적현상이 잘 일치하였다. 또한 McGuirk 및 Rodi(1979)에 의해 개발된 2-방정식 k-$\varepsilon$ 난류모형의 해석결과에 대하여 비교분석을 실시하였다.

A code is developed to analyze a spherically symmetric underwater explosion. The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian(ALE) Godunov scheme for two-phase flow is used to calculate numerical fluxes through moving control surfaces. For detonation gas of TNT and liquid water, the Jones-Wilkins-Lee(JWL) equation of states and the isentropic Tait relation are used respectively. It is suggested to use the Godunov variable to estimate the velocity of a material interface. The code is validated through comparisons with other results on the gas-water shock tube problem. It is shown that the code can handle generation of discontinuity and recovering of continuity in the normal velocity near the material interface during shock waves interact with the material interface. The developed code is applied to analyze a spherically symmetric underwater explosion. Repeated transmissions of shock waves are clearly captured. The calculated period and maximum radius of detonation gas bubble show good agreements with experimental and other numerical results.

Cavitating flow is usually formed on the surface of a high speed underwater object. When a object moves near a free surface at very high speed, the cavity signature becomes one of the major factors to be overcome by sensors of military satellite. The present work was to study the free surface effect on the ventilated cavitation. The governing equations were Navier-Stokes equations based on a homogeneous mixture model. The multiphase flow solver used an implicit preconditioning method in the curvilinear coordinate system. The cavitation model used here was the one first presented by Merkle et al.(2006) and redeveloped by Park & Ha(2009). Computations considered the free surface effects were carried out with a NACA0012 hydrofoil and the corresponding results were compared with the experimental data to have a good agreement. Calculations were then performed considering the ventilated cavitation, including the effect of non-condensable gas under the free surface effects.

A set of experiments was carried out for obtaining the velocity field around the hydrofoil of finite span, using a wing of the NACA 0012 section in a circulating water channel. DPIV technique was used to measure the velocity field, and the velocity measurements along the span were done for 3 speeds, 3 submerged depths, and 4 angles of attack. Experimental data are compared with the theoretical assumptions, as well as the numerical findings by Lee and Lee(2004). Special care is given to the flow near the tips and in the region close to the leading edge. Though indirect, using the measured data of the velocity, it is now possible to compare the aerodynamic and the hydrodynamic strength of the circulation distribution of a wing in the framework of the lifting-line theory.
