The vortex lattice method was adopted to predict the aerodynamic performance of a horizontal axis wind turbine. For this simulation. the rotor blade was divided into many panels both in chordwise and spanwise direction and then replaced by horseshoe vortices. The wake was divided into two parts of near wake and far wake : the near wake was assumed as helical vortex line elements and the far wake was modeled by semi-infinite circular vortex cylinder. The induced velocity components were calculated by the Biot-Savart law. By this way the power coefficient was obtained and represented as a function of the tip speed ratio. The numerical results obtained were compared with those of the other methods and experimental results and showed good agreement with experimental results.

일반적으로 하천은 상류에서 하류로 흐르지만, 하구에서 일어나는 해안으로부터의 염수의 역류 혹은 상류에서 홍수 발생 시 순간적으로 나타나는 역류 등 주 흐름을 거스르는 흐름이 종종 발생하는데 이는 예상치 못한 피해를 가져올 수 있으므로 최대한 방지해야 한다. 즉, 양방향 흐름이 일어나는 지역을 단방향 흐름으로 바꿔줄 수 있는 수리 구조물의 설치가 필요하다. 역방향 흐름을 제어하는 대표적인 예로는 보가 있는데, 보는 충분한 수위 확보뿐만 아니라 하구에서 역류하는 해수를 방지하는 역할도 한다. 다만, 상류와 하류를 수직적으로 분리함에 따라 물고기의 자유로운 이동을 제한하는 등 생태계를 단절시키는 부작용이 나타날 뿐만 아니라, 최근 정부의 정책에 따라 세종보, 죽산보 등의 보 해체 결정이 이루어지면서 이를 대체할 방안이 필요하다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 수직적인 구조물이 아닌 수평적인 수리 구조물을 고안함으로써 생태계에 큰 영향을 주지 않으면서 가장 효과적으로 양방향 흐름을 제어할 수 있는 구조물 설계 모형을 탐구해보았다. 구조물 설계 아이디어는 심장의 판막에서 고안하였다. 판막은 특정한 방향성을 갖는 구조로 이루어져 있으면서 혈액의 역류를 방지하는 기관으로, 비슷한 방식으로 하천에도 특정 각도를 갖는 구조물의 설치를 통해 단방향 흐름을 유도할 수 있다고 판단하였다. 실제 하천 규모에서의 실험은 불가능하다고 판단, 전산 유체 프로그램 OpenFOAM을 이용하여 가상 수로의 모델링을 진행하였다. 얇은 판 형태의 흐름 제어 구조물을 수로 측면에 각각 설치 후, 같은 조건에서 정방향 흐름과 역방향 흐름에 대해 각각 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 이때, 두 흐름의 하류 유량 크기의 차이를 단방향 흐름을 정량화하는 수치로 산정한다. 시뮬레이션은 구조물과 흐름 방향이 이루는 각도, 구조물의 개수 및 간격, 구조물의 비대칭성 등 여러 가지 조건을 바꿔가면서 진행하고, 유속 분포 및 후류의 크기 등의 수리학적 현상을 파악하여 계산 결과를 분석한다. 분석 결과를 바탕으로 하류의 유량 차이가 가장 크게 나타나는 수리 구조물의 조건을 결정하고, 해당 구조물의 실제 적용 가능 여부를 판단한다.

In HWAW method, experimental dispersion curve is obtained through time-frequency analysis, and inversion procedure is based on the forward modeling which considers full wavefield. Therefore, it enables us to use relatively short testing setup and has advantage for two dimensional subsurface imaging compared with another surface wave methods. Numerical study was performed to verify that the HWAW method can be applied to non-horizontally layerd soil structure. The experimental dispersion curves obtained from HWAW method agreed with the theoretical dispersion curves based on full wavefield. Experimental dispersion curves are mainly more affected by the region between two receivers than by the region from source to the first receiver. Fluctuation phenomena of dispersion curve can be reduced by adequate receiver spacing setup. From numerical study, it was thought that reliable Vs distribution map can be constructed by HWAW method and finally subsurface imaging was tried in the real field.

하천의 합류부는 두 개 이상의 하천이 하나로 합쳐지는 구간으로 서로 다른 특성으로 인해 급격한 흐름의 변화와 수리학적 지형변화가 발생하는 구간이다. 하천의 합류부에서는 유체의 물리화학적인 특성과 흐름 구조의 변화가 발생할 수 있다. 흐름 구조의 변화로 인한 유사 이송으로 세굴과 같은 지형적인 변화가 발생할 수 있다. 합류부의 혼합을 이해하기 위해서는 본류와 지류의 다양한 유입조건에 따른 공간적인 패턴을 분석하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나, 대부분의 합류부 연구들은 실측에 기반한 공간적인 패턴 분석의 어려움으로 인해 실내실험 또는 수치모형에 의존하여 연구가 수행되어, 실측자료에 기반한 공간적인 수체혼합의 분석은 매우 제한적이었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 하천 합류부의 혼합 현상을 규명하는 인자로 흐름 방향 유속, 2차류와 수심 등 기본적인 수리학적 인자들 외에 연직, 수평 방향으로 측정한 수질 자료와 드론 영상을 활용하여 합류부의 혼합 특성을 해석하고자 하였다. 수질 자료 중 하천의 혼합을 가장 잘 확인할 수 있는 인자로써 전기전도도와 온도를 활용하였다. SonTek ADCP를 이동식으로 횡단하여 측정해 흐름 방향 유속과 2차류, 수심을 확인하였다. ADCP를 운용함과 동시에 YSI의 수질센서를 활용하여 연직, 수평 방향으로의 전기전도도와 온도의 분포를 확인하였다. 또한, 합류부의 2차원 공간적인 분포를 확인하기 위해 드론 영상을 촬영하였다. ADCP, YSI, 드론의 계측자료는 한국의 낙동강과 남강 합류부에서 측정되었고, 분석 결과 계측장비 간의 경향성이 일치하였다. 또한, 이전에 진행된 해외의 합류부 연구 결과와 유사한 결과가 관측되었으나, 일부 부분에서는 다른 결과를 보였다.

In this study, the load transfer mechanism of tendon-grout interface of rock anchors has been examined through a series of static pull-out tests conducted on the model rock anchors constructed in the natural and artificial rock masses of granite and concrete, respectively. Several rock masses with horizontal discontinuities have been prepared to study the effects of weak planes on the shear stress distribution in tendon-grout interface. As a result, for the rock anchors constructed in the rock mass without discontinuities, stress concentration occurs on the upper part of the tendon-grout interface. On the contrary, as the frequency or the number of discontinuities increases, the shear stress distribution along the depth tends to be uniform. Also, an experimental equation about shear stress distribution between tendon-grout interface can be made by the regression of test results. The shear stresses computed from the experimental results between the rock surface and the depth of 2~3 times the tendon diameter are smaller than those from theory. Below the depth, the reverse can be observed.

Visual discomfort is a common problem in three-dimensional videos. Among the methods to overcome visual discomfort presented in current research, disparity adjustment methods provide little guidance in determining the condition for disparity control. We propose a diaprity adjustment based on the characteristics of disparity distribution on visual comfort, where the visual comfort level is used as the adjustment paramter, in parallax barrier type auto-stereoscopic 3D display. In this paper, we use the horizontal image shift method for disparity adjustment to enhance visual comfort. The speeded-up robust feature is used to estimate the disparity distribution of 3D sequences, and the required amount for disparity control is chosen based on the pre-defined characteristics of disparity distribution on visual comfort. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we used a 3D equipment. Subjective tests were conducted at the fixed optimal viewing distance. The results show that comfortable videos were generated based on the proposed disparity adjustment method.

Temperature distribution studies were performed in steam-air retort to investigate the influence of various processing conditions (come-up time, sterilization temperature, and internal pressure throughout the steam-air retort). Retort temperature data were analyzed for temperature deviations during holding phase, maximum temperature difference between test locations at the beginning and after 1, 3, and 5 min of the holding phase, and box-and-whiskers plots for each location during the holding phase. The results showed that high sterilization temperature led to a more uniform temperature distribution than low sterilization temperature (pasteurization). In pasteurization condition, the temperature stability was slightly increased by increasing pressure during the holding phase. On the other hand, the temperature stability was slightly decreased in high sterilization temperature condition. Programming of the come-up phase did not affect the temperature uniformity. In addition, the slowest cold spot was found at the bottom floor during the holding phase in all conditions. This study determined that the temperature distribution is affected by retort processing conditions, but the steam-air retort needs more validation tests for temperature stability.

This paper presents compression of image sequences based on the classification of interframe difference image blocks. classification process consists of image activity classification and energy distribution classification. In the activity classification, interframe difference image blocks are classified into activity blocks and non-activity blocks using the edge detection. In the distribution classification, activity blocks are further classified into vertical blocks, horizontal blocks, and small activity blocks using the AC energy distribution features. The RBFN, trained with numerical classification results, successfully classifies difference image blocks according to image details. Image sequence compressing based on the classification of interframe difference image blocks using the RBFN shows better compression results and less training time than the classical sorting method and the MLP network.

This paper presents the results of a numerical investigation on the behavior of earth retaining wall system with emphasis on the groundwater lowering. Using the 2D stress-pore pressure coupled analysis, the effects of ground excavation and groundwater interaction were examined using wall horizontal deformation, ground surface movement, plastic strain pattern, effective stress distribution and axial stress of strut. In addition, based on the results from a parametric study on a wide range of soil profile and initial ground water table level, the ranges of wall displacement and ground deformation were suggested quantitatively.
