The resistance to motion of the Korean next-generation high-speed train (HEUM-430X) was assessed on the basis of 12 coasting test runs at coasting speeds up to approximately 380km/h. Two different methods, a linear regression method and a time-integral method, were employed to calculate decelerations from the time-velocity data and the time-distance data, respectively, and an equation of resistance to motion was devised from the deceleration data calculated at each time section. The effect of an improvement of the aerodynamic shape on the resistance to motion was investigated, with the results showing that the running resistance was reduced by about 15% due to these improvements. An increase of approximately 28% of the running resistance was also noted when running in a tunnel relative to running through an open field.

Stability of the barotropic Rossby-Haurwitz wave is investigated using the numerical models on the global domain. The Rossby-Haurwitz wave under investigation is composed of the basic zonal flow of super-rotation and a finite amplitude spherical harmonic wave. The Rossby-Haurwitz wave is given as either steady or unsteady wave by adjusting the strength of the super-rotating zonal flow. Stability as well as the growth rate of the wave in the numerical simulation is determined by comparing the perturbation amplitude at two different time stages. Unstable modes of the Rossby-Haurwitz wave exhibited a horizontal structure composing of various zonal-wavenumber components. The vorticity perturbation for some modes showed a discontinuity around the area of weak flow, which was found robust regardless of the horizontal resolution of the model. Fourier finite element model was shown to generate the unstable mode in earlier stage of the time integration due to less accuracy compared to the spherical harmonic spectral model. Taking the overall accuracy of the models into consideration, the time by which the unstable mode begin to dominate over the spherical harmonic wave was estimated.

In this paper, we present a marching-on-in-degree(MOD) finite difference method(FDM) based on the Helmholtz wave equation for analyzing transient electromagnetic responses in a general dispersive media. The two issues related to the finite difference approximation of the time derivatives and the time consuming convolution operations are handled analytically using the properties of the Laguerre functions. The basic idea here is that we fit the transient nature of the fields, the flux densities, the permittivity with a finite sum of orthogonal Laguerre functions. Through this novel approach, not only the time variable can be decoupled analytically from the temporal variations but also the final computational form of the equations is transformed from finite difference time-domain(FDTD) to a finite difference formulation through a Galerkin testing. Representative numerical examples are presented for transient wave propagation in general Debye, Drude, and Lorentz dispersive medium.

This study aimed to calculate the CFFs (critical flow functions) of a sonic nozzle bank with a 12-nozzle package within 1 s. Toward this end, the Helmholtz free energy of natural gas was formulated by using the AGA8-dc equation of state in a form without integral terms, and thereafter, thermodynamic properties such as the enthalpy, entropy, speed of sound, and heat capacity, which are used in CFF calculation, were derived in analytical form. As a result, the calculation time of CFFs was improved from 6.7 s in a previous study to 0.6 s per 12-nozzle package and kept almost constant regardless of the number of components in natural gas. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the calculated CFF values were in agreement with the results of a CFF international comparison test carried out under ISO management in 1998-1999.

The method of moments has been widely used in the analysis of TM scattering problems. Recently, significant advances in the development of fast and efficient techniques for solving large problems have been reported. In such methods, iterative matrix solvers are preferred by virtue of their speed and low memory requirements. But for near resonant and strong multiple scattering problems, e.g., involving an aircraft engine inlet, a large number of iterations is required for convergence. In this paper, an efficient approximate inverse based preconditioner is used to reduce this number of iterations. By using the matrix partitioning method, the computational is used to reduce this number of iterations. By using the matrix partitioning method, the computational cost for obtaining the approximate inverse is reduced to O(N). We apply this preconditioner to an O(NlogN) algorithm, the multilevel fast multipole algorithm, for the aircraft engine inlet problem. The numerical results show the efficiency of this preconditioner.

Low-velocity impact on composite sandwich panel has been investigated. Contact force is computed from a proposed modified Hertzian contact law. The Hertzian contact law is constructed by adjusting numerical value of the exponent and reducing the through-the- thickness elastic constant of honeycomb core. The equivalent transverse elastic constant is calculated from the rule of mixture. Nonlinear equation to calculate the contact force is solved by the Newton-Raphson method and time integration is done by the Newmark-beta method. A finite element program for the low-velocity impact analysis is coded by implementing these techniques and an 18-node assumed strain solid element. Behaviors of composite sandwich panels subjected to low-velocity impact are analyzed for various cases with different geometry and lay-ups. It has been found that the present code with the proposed contact law can predict measured contact forces and contact times for most cases within reasonable error bounds.

Consistent observation with high temporal and spatial resolution is required for an efficient monitoring of coastal environments. Remote monitoring system installed on the ground is capable of simultaneous observation of wide coastal area and consistent observation with high frequency, which a small number of in-situ measurements cannot manage. This paper studies two typical ground based coastal monitoring system, marine radar and camera system. Marine radar can produce time series of frequency spectrum by integrating wave number spectrum calculated from spatial and temporal variation of waves in the radar image. The time averaged radar images of waves can analyze wave breaking zone, rip currents and location of littoral bars. Camera system can observe temporal variation of foam generation originated from coastal contamination as well as shoreline changes. By extracting the part of foams from rectified images, quantitative analysis of temporal foam variation can be done. By using the two above systems of different characteristics, synergetic benefit can be achieved.

항공사진을 이용하여 하천의 경년변화를 조사하다 보면, 사주 변동에 따라 하천의 주 흐름이 다양하게 변화되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이처럼 특정 하천의 지정된 구간에서의 흐름변동은 많은 시간에 걸쳐 이루어진다. 바꾸어 말하면, 짧은 시간 동안 자연하천에서의 주 흐름 변화를 관찰 하기는 일반적으로 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 이틀이라는 짧은 시간 동안에, 하천에서의 주 흐름 변동에 따른 특성변화를 조사하였다. 이러한 조사는 "조정지 댐에서의 수문 조작"이라는 인위적인 방법을 동원함으로서 가능하였다. 모든 조정지 댐에서는 하천 유지를 위한 일정양의 물을 수문을 통하여 방류한다. 대청댐 하류에 있는 조정지 댐에는 폭이 약 10m에 이르는 10개의 수문이 있다. 평상시에는 우안으로부터 5번째에 있는 중앙의 수문을 개방하여 초당 약 18톤의 물을 방류한다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 방류하고자 하는 지점의 수문높이를 조정하여 일정량을 유지한 채, 수문의 위치를 중앙에서 좌안 그리고 우안의 순으로 변경 하였다. 방류 수문 위치를 변경함에 따라 하천에서의 수리특성을 조사하기 위하여, 흐름이 안정 될 때까지 충분히 기다린 후, 각각의 경우에서의 하류지역을 대상으로 현지관측 및 수치실험을 실시하였다. 조사는, 첫째 지형측량, 유량측정 및 수위변동 등을 포함한 정밀현장조사, 둘째 일반적인 모델에 정밀조사 결과를 적용시킴으로서 얻을 수 있는 가시화 기법 개발 등의 순으로 진행하였다. 수치실험에 사용한 모델은 하천에서의 흐름거동을 2차원적으로 해석하는데 많이 사용되고 있는 상용프로그램인 SMS (Surface-Water Modeling System)의 RMA2 모형이다. 이모형은 RMA (Resource Management Associates, Inc.)에 의해 처음 개발된 2차원 유한요소 모델이며 지배방정식은 z방향을 수심 적분한 2차원 천수방정식으로, x와 y방향에 대한 Navier-Stokes 방정식과 연속 방정식으로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 현장 조사 시 지배인자 파악의 중요성 및 수치계산을 위한 검증자료의 필요성을 강조하기 위하여, 일반적인 방법으로 수행한 계산 결과 및 다양한 현장 특성을 고려한 계산 결과를 비교 하였다. 그 결과 본 연구는 (1)최신 장비들의 도입 및 검증과 기존 장비의 활용 범위 확대, (2)기존의 상용 프로그램을 이용한 하천 흐름특성의 가시화 실현 등에 의의가 있다고 사료된다.
