Incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with $\varepsilon{-SST}$ turbulence model are adopted for the investigation of the flow fields between the square cylinder and the ground. When the grounds moves, the diminish of the shear layer intensity on the ground promotes the interaction between the lower and the upper separated shear layer of the cylinder. Hence vortex shedding occurs at the lower gap height than stationary ground. In the moving ground, the secondary shedding frequency disappears due to the absence of the separation bubble on the ground which exists in the stationary ground. In addition, the shedding frequency and aerodynamic coefficients in the moving ground become higher than those of the stationary ground.

가뭄은 홍수와 더불어 매우 심각한 자연재해이며, 그 특성상 광역적이고 장기간 발생함에 따라 구체적인 발생시점, 규모, 범위 등을 규명하기가 어렵다. 다만, 적시에 경보해야 하는 홍수와 달리 진행속도가 느리고 시간적으로 대처할 여유가 있어 진행중 일지라도 초기에 감지한다면 그 피해를 최소화할 수 있다. 미국 등 수문기상 선진국에서는 수문기상 장기예보자료를 활용한 가뭄전망정보 생산 및 제공하고 있으며, 활용성을 검증한바 있다. 국내의 경우 기상청에서는 대기-해양-해빙 모델을 접합한 GloSea5 (Global Seasonal forecasting system version 5) 모델을 도입하였으며, 가뭄예보를 목적으로 장기예보자료 기반의 가뭄전망정보 생산체계를 구축한 바 있다(기상청, 2012; 손경환 등, 2015). 본 연구에서는 장기예보자료 기반의 수문기상 전망정보를 이용하여 2014-15년 가뭄사례에 대한 가뭄감시 및 전망정보를 생산 및 평가하였다. 수문기상전망 정보는 기상청 현업예보 모델인 GloSea5와 지면모델을 이용하여 생산하였으며, 관측자료와 수문전망정보 기반의 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 매스컴 및 언론 보도 자료부터 2014-15년 가뭄에 대한 행정구역별 피해사례를 수집하였으며, 이를 기반으로 시계열, 지역별 및 통계적(CC, RMSE) 분석을 이용하여 선행시간별 정확도를 평가하였다. 1개월 및 2개월 전망정보의 정확도가 높음을 확인하였으며, 가뭄심도가 심각한 시기의 가뭄상황을 적절히 재현하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study proposes an automatic method to generate 3D building models using a draft map, which is an intermediate product generated during the map generation process based on aerial photos. The proposed method is to generate a terrain model, roof models, and wall models sequentially from the limited 3D information extracted from an existing draft map. Based on the planar fitting error of the roof corner points, the roof model is generated as a single planar facet or a multiple planar structure. The first type is derived using a robust estimation method while the second type is constructed through segmentation and merging based on a triangular irregular network. Each edge of this roof model is then projected to the terrain model to create a wall facet. The experimental results from its application to real data indicates that the building models of various shapes in wide areas are successfully generated. The proposed method is evaluated to be an cost and time effective method since it utilizes the existing data.

An air-burst munition is limited in space, so there is a limit on the size of the fuze and the amount of ammunition. In order to increase a firepower to a target with limited ammunition, it is necessary to concentrate the firepower on the ground instead of the omnidirectional explosion after flying to the target. This paper explores the design and verification of a ground-detection sensor that detects the direction of the ground and determines the flight-distance of an air-burst munition using a single axis geomagnetic sensor. Prior to the design of the ground detection sensor, a geomagnetic sensor model mounted on the spinning air-burst munition is analyzed and a ground-detection algorithm by simplifying this model is designed. A high speed rotating device to simulate a rotation environment is designed and a geomagnetic sensor and a remote-recording system are fabricated to obtain geomagnetic data. The ground detection algorithm is verified by post-processing the acquired geomagnetic data. Taking miniaturization and low-power into consideration, the ground detection sensor is implemented with analog devices and the processor. The output signal of the ground detection sensor rotating at an arbitrary rotation speed of 200 Hz is connected to the LED (Light Emitting Diode) in the high speed rotating device and the ground detection sensor is verified using a high-speed camera.

Recently, ground penetrating radar(GPR) has been widely used in detecting metallic and nonmetallic buried landmines and a number of related researches have been reported. A novel preprocessing method is proposed in this paper to flag potential locations of buried mine-like objects from GPR array measurements. GPR operates by measuring the reflection of an electromagnetic pulse from discontinuities in subsurface dielectric properties. As the GPR pulse propagates in the geologic medium, it suffers nonlinear attenuation as the result of absorption and dispersion, besides spherical divergence. In the proposed algorithm, a logarithmic transformed regression model which successfully represents the time-varying signal amplitude of the GPR data is estimated at first. Then, background signals may be densely distributed near the regression model and candidate signals of targets may be far away from the regression model in the time-amplitude space. Based on the observation, GPR signals are decomposed into candidate signals of targets and background signals using residuals computed from the estimated value by regression and the measurement of GPR. Candidate signals which may contain target signals and noise signals need to be refined. Finally, targets are detected through the refinement of candidate signals based on geometric signatures of mine-like objects. Our algorithm is evaluated using real GPR data obtained from indoor controlled environment and the experimental results demonstrate remarkable performance of our mine-like object detection method.

Turbulent flows around two-dimensional wing sections in ground effect are analysed by incompressible RANS equations and a finite difference method. The Baldwin-Lomax algebraic turbulence model is used to simulate high Reynolds number flows. The main purpose of this study is to clarify the two-dimensional ground effect and its flow characteristics due to different ground boundary conditions, i.e., moving and fixed bottom boundary. As a first step, to validate the present numerical code, the computational result of Clark-Y(t/C 11.7%) is compared with published numerical results and experimental data. Then, NACA4412 section in ground effect is calculated for various ground clearances with two bottom boundary conditions. According to the computational results, the difference in the lift and moment simulated with the two bottom boundary conditions is negligible, but the drag force simulated by the fixed bottom is to some extent smaller than that by the moving bottom. Therefore, it can be concluded that the drag force measured in a wind tunnel with the fixed bottom could be smaller than that with the moving bottom.

This paper proposes a control method based on a pseudo-impedance model to control the motion of biped robots walking on an uneven surface. The pseudo-impedance model simulates the action of the ankle of a foot landing on the ground when a human walks. When the foot is in contact with the ground, the human ankle goes through two different phases. In the first phase, the human exerts little or no effort and applies no torque on the ankle so that the orientation of the foot is effortlessly and passively adjusted with respect to the ground. In the second phase of landing, the ankle generates a significant amount of torque in order to rotate and move the main part of the human body forward and to support the weight of the human; this phase is called the weight acceptance phase. Computer simulations of a 12-DOF biped robot with a 6-DOF environment model were performed to determine the effectiveness of the proposed pseudo-impedance control. The simulation results show that stable locomotion can be achieved on an irregular surface by using the proposed model.

차량 모델 비선형성의 주된 요인중 하나는 타이어의 비선형성이라고 할 수 있다. 타이어 모델도 간편화하기 위해 선형화된 타이어 모델을 적용할 경우에 저속 주행 또는 고속 주행이라고도 조향각이 적을 때는 문제가 없지만, 급격한 가감속과 과도한 조향각을 주었을 때는 타이어 미끄럼 각(Tire Slip Angle)이 급격히 변화되므로 선형화 된 타이어 모텔을 적용하지 못하게 된다. 그러므로 타이어와 지면 사이의 물리적 현상을 자세히 표현할 수 있는 비선형 타이어 모델을 적용하지 못하게 된다. 그러므로 타이어와 지면 사이의 물리적 현상을 자세히 표현할 수 있는 비선형 타이어 모델이 요구되어진다. 실험적 모델은 실제 차량의 실험 데이터를 바탕으로 커브 피팅(Curve Fitting)하여 타이어의 동특성을 표현하도록 모델링 하므로서 모델의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 반면 요구하는 계수들이 많아지게 되어 계산량이 증가되는 단점이 있다. 기존의 타이어 모델 연구 결과에 대해 분석하고, 관측 자료들을 바탕으로 FMFNN(Fuzzy Membership Function based Neural Network)을 이용한 함수 근사화로서 타이어 횡축력과 종축력의 모델링 방법을 제안하였다.

A three-dimensional numerical mesoscale model by Pielke's estimation (University of Virginia Mesoscale Model, UVMM) was applied to investigate the effects of land characteristics including land-humidity, land-roughness and land-albedo on some micro-climatic coefficients and the air cooling capacity. The results indicated that land-characteristics exposed a significant effect on air cooling. Air cooling effects between in urban and agricultural areas were compared and the effects were much higher in agricultural area. Air cooling effects of weed species were different and when converted into economic values by diesel oil price the effects were ranged from 411 to 816 Won/plant.

A numerical simulation is performed to study the ground effect of a rotating rotor blade on a whirl tower using unstructured overset mesh. The aerodynamic change of the rotor blade by the structure around the whirl tower is also considered. The calculated results showed good agreement with the experiment for the hover performance. The ground effect of the rotor blade is investigated by comparing with the calculated results for the out of ground condition and the results of an analytic model.
