Electro-optical sigma-delta modulators are the core module of digital receiver to digitize wideband radio-frequency signals directly at an antenna. Electro-optical sigma-delta modulators use a pulsed laser to oversample an input radio-frequency signals at two Mach-Zehnder Interferometer(MZI) and shape the quantization noise using a fiber-lattice accumulator. Decimation filtering is applied to the quantizer output to construct the input signal with high resolution. The jitter affects greatly on reconstructing the original input signal of modulator. This paper analyzes the performance of first order single bit electro-optical sigma-delta modulator in the time domain and the frequency domain. The performance of modulator is analyzed by using asynchronous spectral averaging of the reconstructed signal's spectrum in the frequency domain. The reference value of time jitter is presented by analyzing the performance of jitter effects. This kind of jitter value can be used as a reference value on the design of modulators.

To overcome the weaknesses of conventional finite difference model in pollutant dispersion modelling, the particle tracking method is used. In this study, a three dimensional particle tracking model which can be used in Princeton Ocean Model was developed and verified through the various numerical tests. Usability of the model was also confirmed through the ocean outfall modelling in Tampa Bay, Florida. As it is expected, random walk model showed the less dispersion in a range compared to the conventional finite difference model and its reason is estimated due to an error from numerical diffusion which the conventional model holds. This newly developed model is expected to be used in various ocean dispersion modelling.

Submerged thin walls are extreme case of submerged rectangular blocks, and could be used for many purposes in rivers or coastal zones, e.g. to tsunami. To understand flow characteristics including flow and pressure fields around a specific submerged thin wall a numerical model was applied which includes computation of hydrodynamic pressure on ${\sigma}$-coordinate. ${\sigma}$-coordinate has strong merits for simulation of subcritical flow over mild-sloped beds. On the other hand ${\sigma}$-coordinate is quite poor to treat sharp structures on the bed. There have been a few trials to incorporate dynamic pressure in ${\sigma}$-coordinate by some researchers. One of the previous approaches includes process of sloving the Poisson equation. However, the above method includes many high-order terms, and requires long cpu for simulation. Another method SOLA was developed by Hirt et al. for computation of dynamic pressure, but it was valid for straight grid system only. Previous SOLA was modified for ${\sigma}$-coordinate for the present purpose and was adopted in a model system, CST3D. Computed flow field shows reasonable behaviour including vorticity is much stronger than the upstream and downstream of the structure. The model was verified to laboratory experiments at a 2DV flume. Time-average flow vectors were measured by using one-dimensional electro-magnetic velocimeter. Computed flow field agrees well with the measured flow field within 10 % error from the speed point of view at 5 profiles. It is thought that the modified SOLA scheme is useful for ${\sigma}$-coordinate system.

매년 영산강 본류 수질이 악화되고 있는 영산강 유역주변은 최근 전남도청 이전에 따른 남악 신도시개발, J-Project 및 환경 문화 복원사업의 추진, 기업도시개발등과 관련하여 수질관리개선 및 주요환경현안으로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 영산강 하구역 관리방안 중 담수호 수질개선대책의 일환으로 수문개방을 통한 해수 유입에 의한 수질 개선을 효과를 도모하는 방안이 제시되고 있다. 이에 하구호 방조제의 수문 개통 및 완전 개방에 따른 수질개선 문제에 앞서 발생할 수 있는 환경변화 중 영산강 및 연안역 염분의 확산범위를 평가하기 위하여 수치모형 실험이 실시되었다. 담수 유입에 따른 염분 확산 범위 및 해수 유입에 따른 염분의 역상 범위를 평가 하기위해 수치 모델로는 EFDC를 적용하였고, 하천형상과 연안역을 동시에 고려하기 위해 수평좌표계는 직교곡선좌표로 격자 크기는 $120{\sim}1000m$, 연직방향으로 시그마좌표를 사용하였다. 담수 방류 및 염분역상 효과를 알아보기 위해 1997년부터 2005년까지의 하구 수문 방류량 및 하천 유입량으로부터 홍수기와 갈수기를 선택하여 현재 상황 및 수문의 부분 개통 하구둑 완전 개방에 시나리오를 설정하여 실시하였다. 수문의 부분개통과 하구둑 완전 개방에 따른 염분 확산 범위는 영산강 하구둑을 기준으로 홍수기에는 $13{\sim}17km$, 갈수기에는 36km 이상의 상류지역에서 해수와 담수의 분리 기준인 0.3 psu 범위가 계산됨을 알 수 있다.
