This study uses a numerical model to investigate the circulation patterns of the tidal and wind driven current components. The model is vertically averaged 2-D transient using explicit nume-rical scheme, based on equation of motion and continuity. forced by water elevation at open boundaries and wind stress. The model domain extends from 35$^{\circ}$N to 36$^{\circ}$40'N lat., and 125$^{\circ}$E to 126$^{\circ}$40'E long. with x, y grid spacing of 5 km. The model reproduces the tide and tidal currents by 4 major constituents successfully with more than 90% accuracy when compared to two offshore tidal records and currents at one offshore measurements for 22 days. Responses of coastal waters to six schematic wind events are analyzed in terms of current distribution patterns and local features. Regardless of wind directions. strong coastal currents were produced. Bottom topography plays a critical role in producing a local eddy Held whose center is located offshore Pu An with its major radius of 40 km.

This paper deals with the process of obtaining sound transmission loss of a cylindrical silencer lined with multi-layered poroelastic sound absorbing materials. The Biot model and the Johnson-Champoux-Allard-Lafarge (JCAL) model were used to deal with waves propagating in multi-layered poroelastic materials. The boundary conditions required for analysis of the silencer were obtained and the numerical process of finding modes was explained. A numerical experiment was conducted on the 2-layered silencer using the modes and the transmission loss converged with the first 12 modes. Finally, the mode matching method proposed in this research was validated by being compared with the results calculated from Finite Element Method (FEM) about different kinds of sound absorbing materials.

The purpose of culvert design is to determine optimum size for a safe drainage of flood discharge. The present method of culvert design in Korea is generally carried out by using "Road Drainage Design" of Korea Expressway Corporation (1991), which is based on the manual of Federal Highway Association (FHWA) of USA. However, this method may result in subjective error because of using graphs and the usage of nomograph can be a major obstacle for computer modelling. Some errors found in the previous works of culvert design are corrected, and a new logic has been developed for a simple determination of culvert size in this study. FHWA (1985) presents a nomograph to determine the critical water depth and the velocity head for a circular pipe, but in this study simple explicit equations have been developed to determine both respectively.

We investigated the optical property and the electronic subband structure of InAs quantum dots in an InAsGa/GaAs well structure utilizing photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation (PLE) and near infrared transmission spectroscopy. From transmission and PLE spectra, we found three bound states in the InAs quantum dot and two bound states in InGaAs/GaAs quantum well, and correlated to the results of intersubband transitions observed in photocurrent spectrum.

In this paper, the acoustic performance of an absorptive silencer was enhanced by optimizing an arrangement of multi-layered absorbing materials. The acoustic performance of the silencer was evaluated through transmission loss, and finite element method-based numerical analysis program was employed to calculate the transmission loss. Polyurethane, a porous elastic material frequently used in absorptive silencers, was employed as the absorbing material. The Biot-Allard model was applied, assuming that air is filled inside the polyurethane. By setting the frequency range of interest up to the 2 kHz and the acoustic performance affecting properties of the absorbing materials were investigated when it was composed as a single layer. And the acoustic performance of the silencers with the single and multi-layered absorbing materials was compared with each other based on polyurethane material properties. Subsequently, the arrangement of the absorbing materials was optimized by applying the Nelder-Mead method. The results demonstrated that the average transmission loss improved compared to the single-layered absorptive silencer.
