The sound speed of seawater can be calculated by the empirical formula as a function of temperature, salinity and pressure. It is little affected by salinity because the average salinity is 34 psu and varies within a few psu seasonally and spatially in the ocean. Recently, low-salinity water of 24 psu flows into the western sea area of Jeju Island due to the flood of the Yangtze River in China during summer, affecting sound speed profile. In this paper, it was analyzed how environmental changes affected to the underwater communication - the sound speed of low-salinity water was calculated, and the communication channel was estimated by the simulated acoustic rays while the transmitting and receiving depth and the range were varied with and without the low-salinity layer. And The BER (Bit error rate) was calculated by BPSK(Binary phase shift key) modulation and the effects of the low-salinity water on the BER was investigated. The sound speed profile was changed to have positive slope by the low-salinity layer at the sub-surface up to 20 m of depth, forming acoustic wave propagation channel at the sub-surface resulting in the decrease of most of the BER Consequently, this paper suggests that it is important to consider changes of the ocean environment for correctly analyzing the underwater communication and the detection capability.

In this study, grout was poured into seawater to confirm the effect of similar marine environment and underwater erosion on the mechanical performance of domestically produced high-performance grout and compared with the existing strength. As a result of the compressive strength measurement, the specimen that simultaneously performed underwater drilling and seawater curing showed slow initial strength expression in both H1 and H2, and from the 7th day, it was confirmed to be within 2% of the existing intensity. It is believed that both grout were caused by disturbance with water during underwater drilling, and the same strength was subsequently shown as the existing strength.

Even though the transmission performance is very important factor for not only study and development but also for design, implementation, and operation of underwater MANET. There is a trend of using it as a measurement factor for comparing and analyzing degree of network performance. In this paper, movement pattern using transmission performance is analyzed to enlarge the use of transmission performance in underwater MANET. The relation between transmission performance and movement pattern is firstly considered and then through this consideration, causing effects of movement pattern to transmission performance is studied. Results of this study can be used as an important base to predict and analyze movement pattern through measuring of transmission performance of moving objects in underwater environments.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In order to improve the performance, it is necessary to employ an iterative coding scheme. Among the iterative coding scheme, turbo codes and LDPC codes are dominant channel coding schemes in recent. This paper concluded that turbo coding scheme is optimal for underwater communications system in aspect to performance, coded word length, and equalizer combining. Also, decision directed phase recovery was used for correcting phase offset induced by multipath. Based on these algorithms, we confirmed the performance in the environment of oceanic experimentation.

The performance of underwater acoustic communication system is sensitive to the Doppler shift and ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference). Therefore, the simulation algorithm needs to consider time-spread due to multipath arrivals which cause the ISI, and time-varying Doppler shift along with moving source and receiver. For this purpose, VirTEX(Virtual Time series EXperiment) based on Ray model has been developed. In this paper, VirTEX is used to compare the characteristics of ocean waveguide from the experimental data and illustrate the performance. The CIR(Channel Impulse Response) that characterizes the multipath arrivals with representative time-spread due to multipath arrivals is compared between numerically simulated and experimental probe signal. Also, the communication performance analysis for BER(Bit Error Rate) is compared between numerically simulated and experimental data signal. As a result, VirTEX can be useful as a simulation tool for evaluating the performance of underwater acoustic communication system.

Active synthetic aperture sonar on the small UUV is generated several trajectory disturbances under the influences of underwater environments, and causing a large error in the synthetic aperture processing. In this paper, we analyzed the effects of azimuth resolution for the phase mismatch of the synthetic aperture focus processing when the periodic or random trajectory disturbances was generated on the side direction. The simulation results show that ghost targets are generated and azimuth resolution is very deteriorated when disturbance amplitude is greater than $0.3{\lambda}$ and disturbance period is greater than $2L_{sa}$ in the periodic trajectory disturbances environments. And detection performance on the seabed small objects by the synthetic aperture processing is shown that there is a significant effects on the azimuth resolution depending on the types and conditions of the platform trajectory disturbance variations.

본 연구에서는 수중 silica 제거에 이온교환수지의 성능이 실험되었다. 음이온 단일수지에 비해 양이온/음이온 혼합수지가 silica제거에 효과적이었고, 혼합수지에서 온도가 높을수록 교환반응속도는 빨랐다. 음이온과 양이온교환능은 용액의 pH를 변화를 측정하여 해석할 수 있었다. 용액에 공존하는 양이온인 $Na^+$는 혼합수지에서 pH변화에 영향을 주는 물질이었고, 이러한 pH의 변화는 silica의 제거능에 영향을 주었다. 각 온도에서 도달된 평형농도로부터 각 수지에 대한 silica의 선택도계수가 측정되었다.

Alum과 PDDA에 대하여 각각 휴믹산의 플럭 형성-파괴-재형성을 관찰 한 결과 sweep flocculation에 의해 휴믹 플럭을 형성하는 alum은 플럭의 파괴 및 재형성은 비가역적이이나 유기응집제인 PDDA 플럭의 파괴는 가역적이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 플럭 강도지수 측정으로부터 PDDA는 alum보다 높은 강도를 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 플럭강도에 미치는 이온강도의 영향을 살펴 보면 alum은 플록강도에 미치는 영향이 거의 없었지만 유기응집제인 PDDA는 플럭 강도가 크게 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

In many cases of underwater blasting in South Korea, the special blasting is mainly used for deepening harbor, installing gas pipes, or well blasting to build a bridge. The procedure of well blasting is almost same with shaft blasting, but the difference is that water is filled in before blasting. In case of deepening blasting under water, the first step like drilling, arranging explosives, and wire connection is done on a barge, then the next step such as charging and tamping is accomplished under water by expert divers. Therefore, underwater blasting needs precise and exact plan before blasting. In this paper, authors would like to introduce a case of underwater blasting for deepening the Busan new port with emulsion explosives and non-electric detonators in order to get some of 8,500TEU out sized container vessels entered into the port and to make safe. Considering environment and vibration, the blasting was controlled to minimized the damage to the lighthouse nearby. It will be great help to many other blasting sites where emulsion explosives and non-electric detonators are used for underwater blasting through this case.

수자원의 확보와 어류 서식 환경보전이라는 두 가지 측면은 수자원 이용이라는 목적하에 합의되기 어려운 문제를 가지고 있다. 점차적으로 수자원이 고갈되는 현시점에 효율적 물관리를 위해 최근에는 단절된 하천을 연결하기 위한 기술들이 개발되고 있으며, 이중 안정적인 물공급 시스템을 구축하기 위한 수중터널이 그러한 기술 중 하나이다. 수자원의 확보 측면에서는 의미가 있는 방법일 수 있으나 물리적으로 동떨어져 있던 서로 다른 환경을 연결하는 문제로 인한 부작용이 발생하는데 이중 외래어종 유입으로 인한 수중생물의 환경변화가 가장 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 방지하기 위해 어류의 이동을 차단하는 기술 또한 개발되고 있으며 그물망, 버블스크린, 빛, 소리를 이용한 다양한 방법을 통해 어류의 접근을 방지하고자 노력하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 차단시설 중 기포를 이용한 버블스크린과 관련하여 효율성을 높이기 위한 방법을 모색하고자 실제 버블의 상승속도에 영향을 미치는 여러 가지 불확실성 인자들에 대한 상관성과 인과관계를 검토하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 외부적 원인에 대한 오차요소를 확인하고 결과값에 영향을 미치는 여러 가지 변수에 대하여 검토하고자 하는 실험연구를 수행하였다. 버블실험을 위한 수로는 길이 15m, 폭 1.5m 의 제원을 가지는 직선수로에서 수행하였으며, 버블 발생을 위한 튜브는 PVC 재질이며, 5cm 간격으로 1mm 직경을 갖는 파이프를 제작하여 활용하였다. 실험의 분석은 이미지를 이용한 방법을 사용하였으며 분석위치 및 버블사이즈 그리고 해석격자 크기에 대한 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 통해 각각 인자들과의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다.
