The gravity anomaly is a basic geophysical data applied in various fields such as geophysics, geodesy and national defense. In general, the gravity anomaly is used through a interpolation process based on the constructed database. The gravity variation, however, is appeared in various shapes depending on the topography and the density of the underground structures. Therefore, the interpolation could lead to a large differences if the gravity fields do not satisfy the assumptions on the signal behavior like linear or a certain degree polynomials. Furthermore, the interpolation does not reflect the physical characteristics of the gravity such as the harmonic condition. In this study, the gravity modeling using the plane Fourier series and radial basis functions are performed to overcome the problems in the usual interpolation. The results of the modeling is analyzed for the case of the gravity referenced navigation focused on the signal characteristics. Based on the study, it was found that the results from modeling are not much different to that from the interpolation in a smoothly varied area. In case of the highly varied area, however, a large differences are appeared among the three methods. Especially, the Fourier series shows the most smooth variations in the modeled gravity values while the highest variations appeared in the interpolation. Applying to the gravity referenced navigation, it was found that the modeling is more effective in calculation cost. It is considered that the results from this study provides a basis on effective modeling of the gravity fields in terms of the signal characteristics and resolution for various application fields.

중력류 또는 밀도류는 주변 유체에 비해 상대적으로 밀도가 큰 유체가 밀도차에 의한 추진력으로 흐르는 것이다. 중력류의 수치모델링에는 두 가지 어려움이 있다. 즉, 적합한 지배방정식을 구성하여 적용하는 것 그리고 난류의 영향을 합리적으로 반영하는 것이다. 기존 중력류 해석을 위한 지배방정식들은 유체의 연속방정식과 운동량 방정식 그리고 밀도 또는 농도의 이송방정식을 조합하여 구성된다. 이들 지배방정식을 이용한 연구들은 대부분 두 유체 사이의 밀도차가 충분히 작아서 밀도 변동(variations)의 영향은 오로지 부력항에서만 유지된다는 Boussinesq 근사에 근거를 둔다. 그리고 이송방정식에서 밀도 또는 농도의 확산계수을 점성계수의 함수로 표현하기 위해서 Schmidt 수를 이용한다. 수치모델링에서 Schimdt 수는 상수값을 적용하지만, 이 값은 밀도의 연직방향 경사에 근거한 부력빈도(buoyancy frequency)와 난류량의 따라 큰 차이를 보이는 것으로 알려져있다. 한편, 표준 통계학적 난류모델과 벽함수를 적용한 수치모델링은 초기 중력에 의해서 무너지는(slumping) 단계를 넘어 관성력으로 추진되는 단계와 점성 효과가 지배적인 단계에서는 정확도에 현저히 낮아지기 때문에 대부분 큰와모의(large-eddy simulation, LES) 또는 DNS(direct numerical simulation)수준의 고해상도(high-resolution) 해석기법을 적용하여 공학적인 문제에 적용하는 데는 한계가 있다. 이 연구에서는 Boussinesq 근사와 Schmidt 수를 사용하지 않으며, LES 보다 적용이 용이한 DES (detached-eddy simulation)기법을 조합한 다상흐름 수치모델을 적용하여 중력류를 해석을 시도하였다. 수치해석결과를 실험값과 함께 기존 수치모델링 기법으로 구한 수치해와 비교분석하여 이 연구에서 개발 및 적용된 수치모델링 기법의 적용성을 평가한다.

본 논문에서는 열차이동시 운행선구에 따른 운동에너지를 모델링하기 위한 중력 모델링에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 중력 모델링은 해당 노선에 투입될 열차의 물리적 특성 및 성능(제동)특성과 선로정보, 신호정보(최고운행속도) 등의 정보를 고려하여 열차의 이동을 물리적으로 모델링해야한다. 차량의 운동을 해석하기 위하여 차량은 하나의 질점으로 모델링하고, 그 질점은 한 방향으로만 직선 운동하는 자유도 모델이다. 차량의 견인력, 제동력, 운행저항력, 선로구배에 의한 중력 공헌력은 그 질점에 작용하는 힘으로 모델링 되어있다. 차량의 이동에 따른 모델링을 통해 산출된 열차 에너지는 고정폐색으로 운용되는 열차제어시스템의 폐색길이를 결정하는데 사용될 수 있다.

The accuracy of the upward continuation is assessed through the gravity modeling using an ultra-high degree spherical harmonic expansion. The difficulties in the numerical calculation of Legendre function with ultra-high degree, underflow and/or overflow, is successfully resolved in 128 bit calculation scheme. Using the generated Legendre function, the gravity anomaly with spatial resolution of $1'{\times}1'$ on the geoid is calculated. The generated gravity anomaly is degraded and extracted with various noise levels and data intervals, then upward continuation is applied to each data sets. The comparison between the upward continued gravity disturbances and the directly calculated from the spherical harmonics showed that the accuracy on the direct method was significantly better than that of Poisson method. In addition, it is verified that the denser and less noised gravity data on the geoid generates better gravity disturbance vectors at an altitude. Especially, it is found that the gravity noise level less than 5mGal, and the data interval less than 2arcmin is necessary for next generation precision INS navigation which requires the accuracy of 5mGal or better at an altitude.

The purpose of this research was to develop and present methods to detect sinkholes which can exist underneath the surface of the ground. First, we buried a water tank with dimensions $1.8{\times}0.8{\times}0.8m$ at a distance of 1.8 m from the surface. This played the role of the sinkhole. Secondly, we created a square zone with sides 12 meters away from the buried water tank. Within this zone, we measured the gravity at 1-meter intervals using a Scintrex CG5 relative gravimeter with a resolution of 0.001 mGal. Additionally, we performed three-dimensional (3-D) gravity modeling to calculate the theoretical values of the relative gravity around our model sinkhole. The resulting values for the relative gravity around the sinkhole depended on the method used. The measured effect of gravity was 0.036 mGal and the effect calculated using 3-D modeling was 0.024 mGal. Our results suggest that sinkholes that are similar in size to the water tank used in this study can be detected using relative gravity surveys. Smaller sinkholes can be detected by reducing the intervals between the relative gravity measurements.

A multiphase flow modeling approach equipped with a hybrid turbulence modeling method is applied to compute the gravity currents in a rectangular channel. The present multiphase solver considers the dense fluid, the less-dense ambient fluid and the air above free surface as three phases with separate flow equations for each phase. The turbulent effect is simulated by the IDDES (improved delayed detach eddy simulation), a hybrid RANS/LES, approach which resolves the turbulent flow away from the wall in the LES mode and models the near wall flow in RANS mode on moderately fine computational meshes. The numerical results show that the present model can successfully reproduce the gravity currents in terms of the propagation speed of the current heads and the emergence of large-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz type interfacial billows and their three dimensional break down into smaller turbulent structures, even on the relatively coarse mesh for wall-modeled RANS computation with low-Reynolds number turbulence model. The present solutions reveal that the modeling approach can capture the large-scale three dimensional behaviors of gravity current head accompanied by the lobe-and-cleft instability at affordable computational resources, which is comparable to the LES results obtained on much fine meshes. It demonstrates that the multiphase modeling method using the hybrid turbulence model can be a promising engineering solver for predicting the physical behaviors of gravity currents in natural environmental configurations.

We investigated the undulation of Moho depth and the crustal structure of the continental margin in the East Sea along the Korea Peninsula from inversion and modelling using potential data and previous seismic results. Free-air gravity anomalies generally reflect topography effect. Bouguer gravity anomalies increase toward the Ulleung Basin, indicating that Moho depth is shallower under the Ulleung Basin. Positive magnetic anomalies exist along the continental margin and decrease toward the Ulleung Basin. In analytic signal, the small anomaly in the Hupo Bank infers that the Hupo Bank is uplifted by igneous intrusion and the strong anomaly on the continental slope denotes existence of SDR(seaward dipping reflectors), which are in accordance with the location of SDR detected in previous seismic studies. The inversion result of Bouguer gravity anomaly and the 2-dimensional gravity modelling indicate that the undulation of Moho depth shallows from the continental shelf toward the Ulleung Basin. This is in good agreement with the Moho depth calculated by the previous seismic velocity model using ocean bottom seismometer(OBS). The 2-dimensional gravity modelling infers magmatic underplating zone under the lower continental crust on the continental margin of the East Sea, indicating the possible rifiting of the continental margin.

There have been few geophysical studies on the crustal structure of the continent-ocean zone around the middle eastern part of Korean peninsula, because of the lack of database in both land and ocean. The area for the study on the internal crustal structure using gravity data is bounded by the latitude of 37$^{\circ}$-38"N and longitude of 128$^{\circ}$-132$^{\circ}$E. WCA correction is applied to shipborne gravity data to integrate with gravity anomalies obtained on land. The high frequency components of the shipborne gravity data which are considered as the noise on survey track are effectively removed by means of correlating with satellite gravity data. The corrected shipborne free-air gravity anomaly is integrated with the Bouguer gravity anomaly on land under the same condition. The integrated gravity anomaly is divided into four areas for power spectrum analysis. The depths of Moho discontinuity increases gradually from inland to Ulleung basin. As the result of modeling based on power spectrum analysis, Moho discontinuity depth is about 33-35 km in the continental zone of Korea and 18-28 km at the continental margin. Such structural character is well elucidated in changing gravity data around Ulleung basin. The depths of Moho discontinuity in the southern ocean of Ulleung-island is 16--17 km, which is much lower than in the land. The result of crustal structure modeling in this study is similar to that computed by prior seismic exploration around this area.
