This study analyzed the characteristics of cold air flow according to spatial types in urban areas of Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. The spatial types were classified by cluster analysis considering the land use map, building information, and topographic characteristics produced on the Changwon biotope map. The amount of cold air and wind speed were derived by KLAM_21 modeling. As a result, spatial types were classified into a total of 14 types considering the density and height of buildings, land use types, and topographic characteristics. Cold air flow was found to generate cold air in the valley of the forest area outside urban area, move through roads and open spaces, and accumulate in the low-lying national industrial complex, and then spread cold air throughout the urban areas. There was a lot of cold air flow in the tall building area, and the cold air accumulation was less in the slope and ridge areas. The results of this study were able to understand the characteristics of cold air flow according to building density, land use type, and topography, which will be usefully used as basic data for urban wind road construction to mitigate climate and improve air quality in urban areas.

Heat wave generation in cities is basically affected by global warming, but it is further exacerbated by the impact of artificial heat emission and heat accumulation in the city. In particular, the effects of urban heat waves directly affect the occurrence of tropical nights. Basically, however, the choice of countermeasures against tropical nights is very limited compared to the daytime heat wave response. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of cold air flow at night as a countermeasure against tropical nights in Daegu Metropolitan City and to suggest its spatial applicability. As a research method, the spatial characteristics (flow velocity, flow rate, flow direction and range) of cold air flow in Daegu were quantitatively analyzed using KLAM_21, a cold air flow analysis program. As a result of the analysis, it was found that cold air generation and flow in the surrounding mountains of Daegu Metropolitan City was very active, but the inflow was limited to the urban area, which has tropical nights. However, it has been shown that the flow of cold air flowing from the surrounding mountains is very active in some urban areas, so it has spatial conditions that are very effective in countering tropical nights. If these spatial conditions are used for the urban planning, it will be very useful to develop countermeasures for tropical nights.

Recently, the Korea Forest Service has implemented a planning project about wind corridor forests as a response measure to climate change. Based on this, research on wind corridors has been underway. For the creation of wind corridor forests, a preliminary evaluation of the wind corridor function is necessary. However, currently, there is no evaluation index to directly evaluate and spatially distinguish the types of wind corridors, and analysis is being performed based on indirect indicators. Therefore, this study proposed a method to evaluate and classify wind corridors by utilizing heat deficit analysis as an evaluation index for cold air generation. Heat deficit was analyzed using a cold air analysis model called Kaltluftabflussmodell_21 (KLAM_21). According to the results of the simulation analysis, the wind path was functionally classified. The top 5% were classified as cold-air generating Areas (CGA), and the bottom 5% as cold-air vulnerable Areas (CVA). In addition, the cold-air flowing Areas (CFA) were classified by identifying the flow of cold air moving from the cold air generation area. It is expected that the methodology of this study can be utilized as an evaluation method for the effectiveness of wind corridors. It is also anticipated to be used as an evaluation index to be presented in the selection of wind corridor forest sites.

This study, the one concerning the evaluation analysis of the function of the wind generation using KLAM_21, has examined closely how the wind really flows on the space of the city, working with the object of case location. In the first place, the cold air formed at upper stream of Sincheon river, a ravine of whole area of Gachang gully and an inclined plane of neighboring mountainous district, flows to the north and expands itself along the upper stream of the Sincheon river, and as the time passes, it is tending upwards in the change of the volume and height as well as of the velocity and direction, of the cold air. It was learned that this phenomenon has made it clear that the spatial features of this area give rise to very good condition in generating and flowing the cold air. Meanwhile, it has been shown that in the area of park in the Ap-mountain, the generation and flow of the cold air are much interrupted because of the overpass traversing the whole area of the park of Ap-mountain, the congested area of large-scaled apartments and the urban development activities constructing the building in the park, and the volume and height of the cold air has been grown very small. In conclusion, It has been learned that for maximization of the spatial effect of the wind corridor, the areas where the cold air is generated, flowed, accumulated, and maintained, have to be connected spatially, and this spatial connection has a close relation with spatial features of the area.

Due to the dramatic spatial changes caused by industrialization, environmental problems such as air pollution and urban heat island phenomenon, etc. are occurring in cities. In this case, the wind corridor, which is a passage through which fresh and cool air generated in forests outside cities move to the downtown, can be used as a spatial planning method for improving urban environmental problems. Cold air is determined by the characteristics of the flow depending on the topography and land use of cities, and based on this, the medium- and long-term plan should be established. Therefore, this study analyzed the flow of cold air at night through the KLAM_21 model in Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, to prepare the basic data required to apply the wind corridors. As a result, it turned out that cold air of Suwon-si was mainly generated from Gwanggyo Mountain that is a large mountain area in the north, and flowed into the urbanization promotion area, and about three hours after sunset, cold air flowed into the downtown. By district, the depth, wind speed, and direction of the cold air layer were formed differently according to the characteristics of the topography and land use. In the areas where large forests were adjacent, the flow of cold air was active. There are three main wind corridors where cold air flows to the downtown of Suwon-si, all of which are formed around rivers. Especially, if the connection between rivers and the surrounding green areas is high, the effect of wind corridors is found to be significant. In order to utilize the wind corridors of Suwon-si, based on the results of this study, it is necessary to make climate maps through actual survey and complex analysis of cold air flow and establish mid-to-long-term plans for the conservation and expansion of major wind corridors.

Based on previous research on ways of reducing an urban heat island phenomenon via an introduction of wind corridors, I conducted this study to see what influence a change in land cover arising of or going through urbanization has on wind corridors of urban space. As a target place, I chose Daegu city where is a representative extreme heat place in Korea and has been also largely expanded in size by incorporating its neighboring areas since the 1980s, expecially Dalseo District whose surface temperature gap is large. The population of Dalseo District has been sharply increased since its creation as a new administrative district in 1988. I studied on the urban microclimate change for a 20-year period by using satellite images on summer months in 1987, 1997 and 2007 in time frames. The finding of this study found that a reduction of natural land cover and an increase of artificial land cover serves as a disadvantageous factor for cold air creation and flowing and strikingly lowers the amount and height of cold air in the downtown area. It seemed that the cold air creation and flowing functions are influenced by land cover. In order to steadily create cold air and secure its flowing, it is thought that urban development or urban regeneration should be implemented by analysing the characteristics of the space surrounding the city. By doing so, a pleasant and healthy city could be formed.

최근 정보량의 급격한 증가로 데이터센터는 점차 대형화되고 있으며, 통합적으로 관리/운영되기 위해서는 전산실내 적절한 온도와 습도의 유지가 필수적이므로, 전산실내 에너지의 사용 효율을 극대화하기 위한 연구가 꾸준히 이루어지고 있다. 이 연구에서는 국내 공공부문의 대형 전산실을 모델로 선정하여 전산실 내 서버의 위치, 용량 그리고 냉각시스템 등을 고려하여 전산실내 열/유동특성을 수치적으로 규명함으로써, 에너지 효율 극대화를 추구하고 전력을 절감하여 저탄소 녹색성장과 그린IT 환경을 구축 하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 실제 측정한 환경 데이터를 바탕으로 전산유체역학(CFD)을 이용하여 3차원 비압축성, 정상상태의 열/유동특성을 예측한다. 또한 기존 및 개선된 전산실에 대한 비교결과를 바탕으로 새로운 열/유동조건을 도출하며, 이를 통하여 전산실 운영에 필요한 에너지 효율향상 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 연구 결과, 전산실 천장의 냉기유입부분과 열기배출부분으로 나뉘어 냉복도와 온복도를 형성하며, 내부 서버와 기타 각종 장비들의 발열 등으로 부분적인 열섬(Thermal island)현상이 나타났다. 이러한 열섬현상을 줄이고, 전산실내 환경을 최적화하기 위하여 찬공기 유입부분의 속도, 배출구의 유량, 그리고 냉/온 복도의 역할 변경 등 여러 가지 가능한 매개변수에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 또한, 서버에서 발생한 고온의 공기를 배출하는 것이 전산실 내 적절한 온도구현에 효과적이며, 열섬현상을 방지하기 위해서는 이 부분에 차가운 공기의 유입이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The objective of the study was to develop an Urban Windway Forest Creation Planning Technique for the Improvement of the Urban Environment using the case of Daejeon Metropolitan City. Through a spatial analysis of fine dust and heat waves, a basin zone, in which the concentration was relatively serious, was derived, and an area with the potential of cold air flow was selected as the target area for the windway forest development by analyzing the climate and winds in the relevant zone. Extreme fine dust areas included the areas of the Daejeon Industrial Complex Regeneration Business District in Daedeok-gu and Daedeok Techno Valley in Yuseong-gu. Heat wave areas included the areas of Daedeok industrial Complex in Moksang-dong, the Daejeon Industrial Complex Regeneration Business District in Daehwa-dong, and the high-density residential area in Ojeong-dong. As a result of measuring the wind speeds in Daejeon with an Automatic Weather System, the average wind speeds during the day and night were 0.1 to 1.7 m/s,, respectively. So, a plan of for a windway forest that smoothly induces the movement of cold air formed in outer forests at night is required. The fine dust/heat wave intensive management zones of Daejeon Metropolitan City were Daejeoncheon, Yudeungcheon, Gapcheon-Yudeungcheon, and Gapcheon. The windway forest formation plan case involved the old city center of Daejeon Metropolitan City among the four zones, the Gapcheon-Yudeungcheon area, in which the windway formation effect was presumed to be high. The Gapcheon-Yudeungcheon area is a downtown area that benefits from the cold and fresh air generated on Mt. Gyejok and Mt. Wuseong, which are outer forests. Accordingly, the windway forest was planned to spread the cold air to the city center by connecting the cold air generated in the Seosa-myeon forest of Mt. Gyejok and the Namsa-myeon forest of Mt. Wuseong through Gapcheon, Yudeungcheon, and street forests. After selecting the target area for the wind ventilation forest, a climate map and wind formation function evaluation map were prepared for the area, the status of variation wind profiles (night), the status of fine dust generation, and the surface temperature distribution status were grasped in detail. The wind ventilation forest planning concept and detailed target sites by type were identified through this. In addition, a detailed action plan was established according to the direction of creation and setting of the direction of creation for each type of wind ventilation forest.

It is definitely important to measure thrust during ground test when developing air-breathing engine, and in case of air-breathing engine, gross thrust should be calculated considering not only the measured thrust but also the force induced by the air flow of engine intake. Also, side thrust like yaw and pitch should be measured and analyzed using multi-component thrust measurement system. Engine performance was accurately evaluated by calculating the gross thrust of air breathing engine precisely which is analyzed from below serial procedure: labyrinth seal isolation, 1-axis gross thrust calculation, develop multi-component thrust measurement system, and side thrust analysis.
