홍수와 같은 수문 재해를 예측하고 예방하기 위해서는 강우량을 정확하게 예측하는 것이 중요하다. 신뢰할 수 있는 수문재해 예보 시스템은 기존의 포인트 기반 우량계를 사용하여 달성 할 수 있는 것보다 강우량의 공간 분포를 관측할 수 있는 보다 효과적인 방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 전파강수계 시스템과 다중 고도 관측 데이터를 이용하여 평균 강우를 추정하는 방법을 제시한다. 전파강수계는 K 밴드 이중 편파 기술을 사용하여 초단거리 관측을 수행하는 소형전파강수관측시스템이다. 평균 강우량을 추정하는 방법은 매우 짧은 관측 범위와 이중 편파 정보의 다중고도 평균 관측 개념을 기반으로 하며 관측 지역의 반사도와 비차등위상차의 고도별 평균값을 이용하여 추정한다. 제안 된 방법은 전파강수계의 관측 범위와 스캔 시간이 매우 짧기 때문에 강우 분포의 시공간적 변화가 낮다는 가정하에 개발되었다. 제안된 방법의 평가를 위해 핏게이지, 우량계 및 Parsivel disdrometer를 포함한 지상 장비와 비교하였다. 시험적용 결과 제안된 강우 추정 기법이 다양한 강우사상에 대해 강우강도를 잘 추정하는 것으로 확인되었다

Experimental study was conducted to reveal the instability such as leakage flow and rotating stall in an axial flow fan. For this study, unsteady total pressure probe and multi-hole pressure probe were specially designed for measuring the flow field upstream and downstream of rotor. The measured pressure signal was analyzed by Single and Double Phase Locked Averaging Technique. From the result of total pressure fields at inlet and outlet of the rotor, the useful information on the structure of the stall cell in radial direction was provided. Also, detailed flow measurements were carried out with a specially designed high frequency multi-hole pressure probe, providing some insight to the leakage flow and their interation.

Two-dimensional distribution characteristics on the spray droplets emanating from an injector employed in a liquid-propellant thruster are investigated through dual-mode phase Doppler anemometry (DPDA). Spray-breakup characteristic parameters such as spray droplet velocity, turbulent intensity, Sauter mean diameter (SMD), number density, and volumetric flux are quantified to scrutinize the macroscopic behavior of injector-spray breakup. The present study will be able to contribute to the comprehension for performance features of the thruster in current use and to the design engineering of a brand-new thruster as well.

In this study, we discussed the weight reducing of a urban railway-car body, in particular, of the Korean EMU, by optimizing topology and size of aluminum extrusion profiles. The heaviest parts of aluminum railway-car bodies, i.e., the base plate of underframe and side panels of side frame composed of double skin structures are considered for optimization. Topology optimization process is applied to obtain get an optimized rib structure for the base plate. The thickness of ribs and plates of the topologically optimized base plate and the existing side panel are also optimized by employing the size optimization process. The results are verified by comparing the maximum von Mises stresses and maximum deformation in the case of the existing design with those in the case of the optimized design. It is shown that the weight of a base plate and side panel can be reduced by 12% and that the weight of the whole car body can be reduced by 8.5%.

This paper presents an experimental study on the unsteady flow phenomena such as leakage flow and rotating stall which have influences on the performance and stability of an axial flow fan. For this study, unsteady pressure were measured using high frequency pressure transducers mounted on the easing wall of rotor passage and analyzed by Double Phase-Locked Averaging Technique. As the flow rate was reduced to near stall point, the pressure difference between the pressure and the suction side of the blade was increased especially new the leading edge and the lowest pressure zone of suction side was gradually developed. From the result of unsteady pressure field on the casing wall, one period of rotating stall was divided into three zones and the flow characteristics on each zone were described in detail.

As the occurrences of flash floods have increased due to climate change, faster and more accurate precipitation observation using X-band radar has become important. Therefore, the Ministry of Environment installed two dual-pol X-band radars at Samcheok and Uljin. The radar data used in this study were obtained from two different elevation angles and composed to reduce the shielding effect. To obtain quantitative rainfall, quality control (QC), K_DP retrieval, and Hybrid Surface Rainfall (HSR) methods were sequentially applied. To improve the accuracy of the quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) of the X-band radar, we retrieved parameters for the relationship between rainfall rate and specific differential phase, which is commonly called the R-K_DP relationship; hence, an empirical approach was developed using multiple rain gauges for those two radars. The newly suggested relationship, R = 27.4K^0.81_DP, slightly increased the correlation coefficient by 1% more than the relationship suggested by the previous study. The root mean square error significantly decreased from 3.88 mm/hr to 3.68 mm/hr, and the bias of the estimated precipitation also decreased from -1.72 mm/hr to -0.92 mm/hr for overall cases, showing the improvement of the new method.

This paper proposes a new nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) based direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation method for multiple sound sources using a dual microphone array. First of all, sound signals coming from the dual microphone array are segmented into consecutive analysis frames, and a steered-response power phase transform (SRP-PHAT) beamformer is applied to each frame so that stereo signals of each frame are represented in a time-direction domain. The time-direction outputs of SRP-PHAT are stored for a pre-defined number of frames, which is referred to as a time-direction block. Next, In order to estimate DOAs robust to noise, each time-direction block is normalized along the time by using a block subtraction technique. After that, an unsupervised NMF method is applied to the normalized time-direction block in order to cluster the directions of each sound source in a multiple sound source environments. In particular, the activation and basis matrices are used to estimate the number of sound sources and their DOAs, respectively. The DOA estimation performance of the proposed method is evaluated by measuring a mean absolute error (MAE) and the standard deviation of errors between the oracle and estimated DOAs under a three source condition, where the sources are located in [$-35{\circ}$, 5m], [$12{\circ}$, 4m], and [$38{\circ}$, 4.m] from the dual microphone array. It is shown from the experiment that the proposed method could relatively reduce MAE by 56.83%, compared to a conventional SRP-PHAT based DOA estimation method.
