In a closed square cavity filled with a liquid, a cooled the upper horizontal wall and a heated the lower horizontal wall, the flow isn't generated under the ground-based condition when Rayleigh number is lower than 1700. In such case the flow phenomena near an air bubble under a cooled horizontal wall were investigated. The temperature and the flow fields were studied by using the Thermo-sensitive Liquid-Crystal and the image processing. The qualitative analysis for the temperature and the flow fields were carried out by applying the image processing technique to the original data. Injecting bubble at the center point of upper cooled wall, the symmetry shape of two vortexes near an air bubble was observed. The bubble size increased, the size of velocity and the magnitude of velocity increased. In spite of elapsed time, a pair of two vortexes was the unique and steady-state flow in a square cavity and wasn't induce to the other flow in the surround region.

Experimental investigation was made to study the mechanism of fluid and thermal oscillation phenomena of surface-tension driven flow in a cylindrical liquid column heated from above which is the low-gravity floating zone simulated on earth. Hexadecane, octadecane, silicon oil (10cs), FC-40 and water are used as the test liquids. The onset of the oscillatory thermocapillary convection appears when Marangoni number exceeds its criteria value and is found to be due to the coupling among velocity and temperature field with the free surface deformation. The frequency of temperature oscillation decreases with increasing aspect ratio for a given diameter and Marangoni number and the oscillation level increases with Marangoni number. The flow pattern in the liquid column appears either as symmetric or asymmetric 3-D flow due to the oscillatory flow in the azimuthal direction. The free surface deformation also occurs either as symmetric or asymmetric mode and its frequency is consistent with those of flow and temperature oscillations. The amplitude of surface deformation also increases with Marangoni number.

This paper analyzes the determinants of foreign entry pattern of Korean restaurant industry. Based on the result of previous literature that cultural characteristics is important for the competitiveness of restaurant industry, this paper is purposed to analyze the effect of Korean emigrants on the foreign entry of Korean restaurant industry. Gravity model is used to develop empirical models. The results shows that the size of Korean emigrants has a positive effects on the foreign entry. Which supports the previous literature on the relationship between migrants and international trade that migrants plays as channel for information between countries.

A gravity meter has been used for exploring subsurface mineral resources and monitoring long-period events such as Earth tides. Recently, researchers found several other intriguing features that we could even detect large teleseismic earthquakes and monitor seismic ambient noise using gravimeters. The zero-length spring suspension technology gives the gPhone (Micro-g LaCoste) excellent low frequency sensitivity, which may have implications for investigating much longer-period natural events (e.g., Earth's hum, tsunami waves, etc.). In this study, we present preliminary results through temporary operation of the gPhone at Geumsan in South Korea for 9 months (Nov. 2008-Jul. 2009). The gPhone successfully recorded large teleseismic events and showed a clear seasonal variation of the Double frequency microseisms during its operation period.

Studies of model potential fields continued upward and downward show differences depending on the method of continuation. Beginning with a magnetic field computed over a buried vertical cylinder, the field was continued to various levels by a method introduced by Henderson (Lagrangian interpolation) and by a spectral method (frequency domain analysis). Resultant fields show (1) no significant differences in upward continued values, (2) in downward continuation, accurate values are obtained with the spectral method over the central part of the anomaly, and (3) accurate values are obtained with Henderson's method on the flanks of the anomaly, while oscillations usually characterize the spectral method in this region. Essentially the same observations are made for derivative calculations. Field oscillations are empirically predicted at levels continued to approximately two-thirds of the depth of the source. Our spectral computer program output yields marked oscillations at one-half of the depth of the source. Henderson's method shows no oscillations at this depth and only minor oscillations at the top of the body (some negative values appear on the flanks of the anomaly). The Henderson output is a smooth field even if continued below the top of the body. These results suggest that the presence of oscillations cannot be used to identify the top of a buried source without careful consideration of the method used to continue the field. Use of the derivative to outline and isolate anomalies must similarly include consideration of the method of calculation.

The dispersion in the oscillatory flow generated by gravitational waves above the spatially periodic repples is studied. The steady parts of equations describing the orbit of the passive particle in a two dimensional field are assumed to be simply trigonometric functions. From the view point of nonlinear dynamics, the motion of the particle is chaotic under externally time-periodic perturbations which come from the wave motion. Two cases considered here are; (i) shallow water, and (ii) deep water approximation.

In order to investigate ground state change visually in physical model during centrifuge testing, electrical resistivity survey was adopted. Commercial resistivity survey equipment verified at various in-situ sites was utilized. The resistivity survey equipment installed in centrifuge facility was remotely controlled through intranet and electrical resistivity images obtained while centrifuge testing was being checked by real-time inversion. To verify the stable operation of the developed resistivity survey system, preliminary tests were conducted. Model ground was uniformly constructed using unsaturated soil and saline water was dropped on the ground surface to simulate contaminant flow situation. During the 10 g centrifuge tests, electrical resistivity was continuously detected and the testing results were compared with those of identically carried out 1 g centrifuge tests. In addition, the electrical resistivity was directly measured immediately after the centrifuge test by open cutting the model. Finally, reliability of electrical resistivity survey in the centrifuge test was verified by comparing those testing results.

The fracture behaviour of concrete gravity dam mainly due to uplift pressure acting at the crack face was studied. Triangular type and parabolic type distribution of the uplift pressure including uniform type were first considered in case of calculating stress intensity factor(SIF) by the surface integral method. Second, the directions of crack propagation according to the uplift pressure distribution were pursued by FRANC(FRacture ANalysis Code). Third, critical crack lengths according to the uplift pressure distribution under the overflow depth were calculated. The SIF values obtained from the surface integral method were compared with those by FRANC and relatively good agrements could be obtained between both of them. And it could be seen that the direction of crack propagation in case of triangular pressure distribution was a little benter to the dam base than the one by the uniform type. Maximum critical crack lengths under the overflow depth were obtained at about 2/5-1/2 of the dam height.

The solutions of orbital maneuver problem using the sliding mode control in the presence of the erath gravitational perturbations is obtained. Especially, the optimization of consuming fuel for maneuver is performed. The impulsive solution to Lambert's problem using the combined equation method to minimize total ${\Delta}V is used for the desired orbit and the maneuver times. Two-step sliding mode control method is introduced for satisfying the boundary conditions of finite-thrust rendezvous problem at the end of maneuver time. Using the new approach to the orbit maneuver problem, two-step sliding mode control, orbit maneuvers are processed. The solutions to a rendezvous using the optimal control are obtained, and they are compared to the results by two-step sliding control.According to the new approach for orbit maneuver, the thrust-coast-thrust type controller is obtained to make satellite to track desired Lambert's orbit, and the total ${\Delta}V$ required for maneuver is resonable in comparison with the impulsive solution to Lambert's problem. The final state variables, also are close to the boundary conditions at the end of maneuver times.

The purpose of this study is to analyze earth pressure acting on a circular shaft-tunnel considering arching effect by centrifuge modeling test on sands. The centrifuge testing method provides a way to model an in-situ stress state condition with a stress gradient within a laboratory specimen. A small-scale model of circular shaft-tunnel, which has a real diameter of 6.0 m and height of 15.0 m, was designed and tested twice under 75g-level. Additionally, an effect of excavation was presented by separating two segments of circular shaft wall to find behavioral properties and strength of earth pressure along with excavating ground. The test results were compared with those of the proposed earth pressure equation. The test results showed that earth pressure decreased by about 70% in comparison with existing two-dimensional earth pressure. This fact might be attributed to three-dimensional arching effects.
