Heavy snowfall events frequently occur in the Gangwon province, and the snowfall amount significantly varies in space due to the complex terrain and topographical modulation of precipitation. Understanding the spatial characteristics of heavy snowfall and its prediction is particularly challenging during snowfall events in the easterly winds. The easterly wind produces a significantly different atmospheric condition. Hence, it brings different precipitation characteristics. In this study, we have investigated the microphysical characteristics of snowfall in the windward and leeward sides of the Taebaek mountain range in the easterly condition. The two snowfall events are selected in the easterly, and the snow particles size distributions (SSD) are observed in the four sites (two windward and two leeward sites) by the PARSIVEL distrometers. We compared the characteristic parameters of SSDs that come from leeward sites to that of windward sites. The results show that SSDs of windward sites have a relatively wide distribution with many small snow particles compared to those of leeward sites. This characteristic is clearly shown by the larger characteristic number concentration and characteristic diameter in the windward sites. Snowfall rate and ice water content of windward also are larger than those of leeward sites. The results indicate that a new generation of snowfall particles is dominant in the windward sites which is likely due to the orographic lifting. In addition, the windward sites show heavy aggregation particles by nearby zero ground temperature that is likely driven by the wet and warm condition near the ocean.

Ultrasonic irradiation in a solution during the chemical reaction may accelerate the rate of the reaction and the crystallization at low temperature. We have synthesized nanometer sized magnetite particles using coprecipitation method, sonochemical method without surfactant, and sonochemical method with surfactant, in order to investigate the effect of ultrasonic irradiation and surfactant on the coprecipitates of metal ions. The size of the magnetite nanoparticles prepared by coprecipitation method, and sonochemical method without surfactant showed broad distributions. But we got uniform nanoparticles using a sonochemical method with oleic acid. The average size of the particles can be controlled by the ratio $R=[H_2O]/[surfactant]$. The size of the magnetite nanoparticles prepared by this method showed narrow distributions. We have characterized the nanoparticles using an X-ray diffraction (XRD), a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), and atomic force microscope (AFM). The size and distribution of the magnetite nanoparticles were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) method.

Particle breakthrough can occur by either the breakoff of previously captured particles (or flocs) or the direct passage of some influent particles through the filter. Filtration experiments were performed in a laboratory-scale filter using spherical glass beads with a diameter of 0.55 mm as collectors. A single type of particle suspension (Min-U-Sil 5, nearly pure $SiO_2$) and three different destabilization methods (pH control, alum and polymer destabilization) were utilized. The operating conditions were similar to those of standard media filtration practice: a filtration velocity of 5 m/h. To assess the possibility of particle detachment during the normal filtration, a hydraulic shock load (20% increase of flow rate) was applied after 4 hours of normal filtration. The magnitude of particle detachment was proportional to the particle size for non-Brownian particles. At the same time, less favorable particles, i.e., particles with larger surface charge, were easily detached during the hydraulic shock load. Therefore, proper particle destabilization before filtration is crucial for maximum particle removal as well as minimum particle breakthrough.

This study evaluated the shear behavior of geogrid reinforced ballast material using a large scale direct shear test and discrete element method (DEM) based on PFC 3D program. The direct shear test was conducted on ballast materials that have different particle size distributions. Whereas the test results revealed that the shear strength generally increased with the larger particle size of ballast material without geogrid reinforcement, the shear behavior of ballast material was found to change pertaining to the relationship between particle size distribution and geogrid rib size. Generally, it is deemed the effectiveness of reinforcement can be achieved when the rib size is two times greater than average particle size. A numerical analysis based on DEM was conducted to verify the test results. The geogrid modeling was successfully completed by calibration process along with sensitivity analysis to have actual tensile strength provided by manufacturer. With a given geogrid model, the parametric evaluation was further carried out to examine the interactive behavior between geogrid and ballast material. Consequently, it was found that the effectiveness zone of geogrid reinforcement generated within a specific depth.

격자 기반의 지면모형을 구동하기에 앞서 사용자의 목적에 따른 모델의 정확도와 모델의 구동 시간의 적절한 균형을 이루는 지면 모델의 격자 크기의 설정은 중요하다. 특히, 격자 크기에 따라 화재 모의 결과 영향이 매우 클 수 있지만, 이에 관한 연구들을 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 화재 모의는 탄소 순환뿐만 아니라 물 순환에도 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 이를 위한 적절한 격자 크기 설정은 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 지면모형인 NCAR Community Land Model version 5(CLM 5)-biogeochemistry (BGC) 모형과 2000년부터 2019년의 The Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) 기상자료 이용하여서 지면 모델 격자 크기(1.9°×2.5°, 0.47°×0.63°, 0.25°×0.25°)에 따른 전 지구 규모의 화재 시뮬레이션 결과들을 분석하였다. 연평균 화재면적은 격자 크기가 제일 큰 1.9°×2.5° 격자의 시뮬레이션에서 연평균 450M ha로 가장 작게 나타났으며 격자의 크기가 작아질수록 화재의 크기는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 지면 모델의 격자가 작아짐에 따라 토양 입자의 분포가 세분화되고 이에 따라 투수 계수값이 증가하며 높은 토양수분의 분포들을 줄어들고 낮은 토양수분의 분포는 증가함을 확인하였다. 토양수분이 줄어듦에 따라 화재 연소성 정도를 나타내는 변수의 값이 증가하고 이에 따라 화재 발생빈도 및 화재 확산이 증가하여 지면 모델의 화재면적을 더 증가시키는 요인이 됨을 확인하였다. 이 연구를 바탕으로 하여 화재 모의의 불확실성 요소를 이해하고, 격자 크기에 따라 화재 모의 관련 매개변수의 수정이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

For the synthesis of lead chromate pigments, we investigated the characteristics of particle growth with reacting conditions in the synthetic process, the effect of additives, and its micro-capsulation. The more tiny and uniform dispersion particles could be obtained at a lower pH and diluter intial concentration. The variation range of average pigment size was increased with the agitating speed. The pigment size could be controlled by adding aluminum sulfate as an additive, which maintained the optimum particle dispersion. It was found that the optimum micro-capsulation conditions were pH 9~10 and above $90^{\circ}C$ during the micro-capsulation of lead chromate pigment, and below 0.5% humidity after micro-capsulation.

In this study, the particle size of Si polycrystals was controlled through wet-sedimentation method, and changes in the capacity and cyclic characteristics of the Si anode material according to the particle size were observed. After wet-sedimentation of Si particles pulverized by a vibration mill, the non-uniform particle distribution of Si was uniformly controlled. The d₅₀ of a sample in which Si was sedimented for 24 hours decreased to 0.50 ㎛. As a result of the electrochemical characteristic analysis, the Rct value representing the resistance in the electrode was significantly reduced due to the decrease in particle size. The unclassified Si sample exhibited a discharge capacity of 2,869 mAh/g in the first cycle, and decreased to 85.7 mAh/g after 100 cycles. The sample in which Si was classified for 24 hours showed a capacity of 3,394 mAh/g initially, and maintained a capacity of 1,726 mAh/g after 100 cycles. As the size of the Si particles decreased, the discharge capacity increased and the cycle life was also increased.

This study aimed to prepare antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) dispersion with high stability. The methods to achieve this goal were sought by investigating the changes of ATO particle size, size distribution, dispersion property as wet ball milling treatment time increased. And the changes of wet ball milled ATO dispersion property were also investigated, as pH increased. The changes of ATO particle size and size distribution, according to wet ball milling treatment time were evaluated with laser diffraction particle size analyzer and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The changes of ATO dispersion property, as wet ball milling treatment time and pH increased, were evaluated with zeta potential analysis and Turbiscan. By 60 min wet ball milling treatment time, ATO particle size decreased and size distribution became narrower, as the treatment time increased. After 60 min milling, the ATO particle size decreased to less than 30% of the initial size and the size distribution was narrowed to $0.1{\sim}5{\mu}m$ from $1{\sim}35{\mu}m$. However, more than 60 min milling, ATO particles aggregated and the particle size increased. ATO dispersion stability also increased as the treatment time and pH increased because the reduced particle size increased particle surface energy and repulsion between particles and the increased pH enhanced particle surface ionization. Hence, after proper length of wet ball milling treatment, highly stable ATO dispersion can be prepared, as increasing pH of the dispersion.
