The relationships between wave and wind around the Korean Peninsula have been analyzed with the data from the buoys moored at five stations (Dugjug-do, Chilbal-do, Geomoon -do, Geoje-do, Donghae) by Korea Meteorological Administration. Generally, the relationship between wave and wind is the highest at the stations in the West Sea and the lowest at the stations in the South Sea, and the middle at the station in the East Sea. The characteristics shown at each station are as follows. Highest wave is developed at Chilbal-do with strong northwesterly wind in winter because the sea is opened in the wind direction and wave is amplified by shoaling effect. At Chilbal-do, wave directions coincide with wind directions relatively well. On the other hand, waves are not fully developed at Dugjug-do in winter due to limited fetch since the sea is blocked by Hwanghae-do in the northwest direction. The limitation in fetch is more serious at the stations in the South Sea. In the South Sea, the direction of dominant northerly wind is blocked by land so that wave heights are small even with very strong northerly wind. In the South Sea, whatever wind direction is, waves dominantly come in the direction from the East China Sea, which are from the south at Geomoon-do and the southwest at Geoje-do. At these directions, waves are coming even with weak wind. At the station in the East Sea, waves are highly developed due to vast area, but not so high as in Chilbal-do because wind and wave directions do not coincide in many cases. As shown, wind direction is important in the wave development as well as wind speed. The reason is that the fetch is determined by wind direction. In the case of long-lasted wind with fixed direction at Chilbal-do and Dugjug-do, wave directions are well coincident with wind directions and wave heights increase with response time, which is the duration between the highest wind and wave. However, in the case of disagreement between wind and wave directions at the station in the East Sea, wave heights do not increase as highly as at Chilbal-do and Dugjug-do in spite of strong wind and longer response time. The results show us that waves are highly developed with strong wind, long fetch, and long duration, and also show that wave development ratios are different at different stations due to environmental factors such as the direction towards sea or land, bottom topography, and the scales of adjacent seas.

There is a need to substitute offshore met-mast with remote sensing equipment such as wind lidar since the initial installation and O&M costs for offshore met-mast are quite high. In this study, applicability of wind lidar is verified by intercomparison test of wind speed and direction data from offshore met-mast and wind lidar for simultaneous operational period. Results at various heights show no statistical difference in trend and size and data from wind lidar is found to be more accurate and have less error than data from offshore met-mast where error from structural shading effect is significant.

최근 온열 환경에서 인간의 쾌적감에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 온열쾌적감에 영향을 주는 요인들로는 온도, 습도, 기류 둥의 물리적 요인과 성별이나 체질 둥의 개인적인 요인들 뿐만 아니라 온열환경에서 느끼는 인간의 감성적인 측면도 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 여러가지 온열 환경 중에서 기류환경에 따른 인간의 온열 쾌적감을 평가하기 위해 생체반응의 변화 및 감성의 변화에 따른 생리신호를 분석을 통해 살펴보았다. 기류환경은 기존에 사용되고 있는 풍향변화기류 및 풍량변화기류와 새롭게 개발되어진 감성기류의 3가지 기류 조건을 제시하였고, 이에 따른 인체의 자율신경계의 반응과 감성 상태를 관찰하기 위해 심전도(ECG)와 뇌파(EEC)를 측정하여 HRV(Heart Rate Variability) 분석과 EEG 주파수 스펙트럼 분석을 시행하였다. 생리신호 분석결과 심전도의 HRV 분석에서는 감성기류가 풍향변화 기류와 풍속변화기류에 비해 HF/LF 비가 높게 나타났고, 뇌파의 주파수 스펙트럼 분석에서도 $\beta$파에 대한 뇌파의 상대 전력비가 감성기류에서 높게 나타나 감성기류가 제시된 다른 기류인 풍향변화기류나 풍속변화기류에 비해 쾌적한 온열환경 제시를 위한 기류조건이라고 평가되었다. 결론적으로 심전도의 HRV분석과 뇌파의 주파수 분석이 .제시된 기류환경의 온열쾌적감 평가에서 서로 유의한 결과를 나타냄으로써, 이들 생리신호의 분석이 온열환경에 따른 인간의 감성 변화를 객관적으로 나타내고 온열 쾌적감을 평가하는데 있어 유용한 정보가 될 수 있음을 제시하였다.

Ships sailing the seas encounter air resistance. The air resistance depends on the shape of the above-water hull, the ship speed, the wind speed and wind direction. The experimental or statistical methods which are used to predict the air resistance are one of the essential procedures of the calculation of the towing force of the disabled ships. This paper shows simplified air resistance prediction method using the variables of the projected area of the above-water hull, the speed of the ship, the wind speed and its direction. These methods have been applied to the existing computer program which had been set up to predict the towing force of the disabled ships.

본 연구는 2003 년 9월 내습한 태풍 매미로 인해 마산 진해 용원 지역을 포함하는 가덕수도 인근 해역의 태풍 매미의 풍역변화 특성과 개방형 및 폐쇄성 해역 등의 지형적 특성을 고려한 호안 월류 패턴을 고찰하고 이를 모식화하였다. 태풍 매미 통과시 진해만의 경우는 풍향이 E-ESE 인 시점이 파랑에너지가1 충분히 발달하여 입사할 조건에 해당되고 마산만의 경우는 풍향이 SE-S인 시점이며, 부산신항 인근 해역은 S-SSW의 풍향이 유세한 시점을 중심으로 태풍파랑을 산정하여야 구조물에 미치는 정확한 영향을 평가할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 이상 파랑의 내습에 따른 해양구조물의 안정정을 확보하기 위해서는 태풍 통과시 천해역의 풍역변화에 따른 수위변동 및 파랑장 영향을 해석하고 입사파랑에 의한 구조물의 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 방안의 연구 필요성을 강조할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 태풍의 천애역 내습시 태풍의 풍역이동과 위험반경내의 풍향 풍속 변화를 해안지형의 특성에 따라 파랑이 충분히 발달할 수 있는 해역을 대상으로 발생가능한 풍향별 취송거리 및 관측된 풍향 풍속으로 천해설계파를 산정하기 위한 한가지 수치해석기법을 소개한다. 이를 통해 구조물 전면에서의 파고계산을 위해서는 구역을 결정할 때 해역의 개방 정도 및 폐쇄성과 태풍중심 이동경로가 천해설계파 산정시 중요함을 강조 할 수 있다. 실시간 해석기법에 대해서 부가적인 재해석 절차가 필요한 상황이지만 본 연구의 해석기법은 연안 해안지역의 천해설계파를 추정함에 있어 태풍의 천해역 통과시 풍역의 변화특성과 이를 고려한 파랑의 불획 정성을 극복하고 보완 할 수 있는 천해설계파 산정을 위한 기초적 연구로서 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

In this study, detailed air flow characteristics in an urban areas were analyzed using GIS data and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. For this, a building construction algorithm optimized for Geographic Information System (GIS) data with a vector format (Los Angeles region imagery acquisition consortium 2 geographic information system, LARIAC2 GIS) was used. In the LARIAC2 GIS data, building vertices were expressed as latitude and longitude. Using the model buildings constructed by the algorithm as the surface boundary data in the CFD model, we performed numerical simulations for two building-congested areas in Los Angeles using inflow information provided by California Air Resources Board. Comparing with the inflow, there was a marked difference in wind speed and direction within the target areas, which was mainly caused by the secondarily induced local circulations such as street-canyon vortices, horse-shoe vortices, and recirculation zones. In street canyons parallel to the inflow direction, wind speed increased due to a channeling effect and, in street canyons perpendicular to the inflow direction, vertically well developed vortices were induced. In front of a building, a horse-shoe vortex was developed near the surface and, behind a building, a recirculation zone was developed. Near the surface in the areas where the secondarily induced local circulations, wind speed remarkably increased. Overall, wind direction little (largely) changed at the areas where wind speed largely increased (decreased).

Several analyses on tritium that is the largest release of gas or liquid radioactive waste from domestic PWR and PHWR NPPs were carried out, such as release comparison, directional frequency of wind and tritium behavior changes in environmental samples. First of all, analysis result showed that tritium released from PHWR was more than ten times as gas and double to three times as liquid in comparison to PWR in 2013. Independent release management in NPP units is needed to precisely control and analyze tritium, since there were 2 units of some NPPs having the same amount of release during analysis. In analysis on frequency of wind direction, average range showed 1.7 to 11.5% by 16-point compass. In case of analysis on sampling points by wind direction, Result showed most of the sampling points are right in places. However, There are some areas needed to examine. In analysis on tritium concentration changes in environmental samples, tritium concentration near NPPs was higher than one far away from NPPs. In case of environmental samples far from PWR, a trace of tritium occur. While, tritium concentration near NPPs was more than or equal to one further from PHWR. In conclusion, tritium occurs considerably in PHWR and is lower than standard in samples. but, it is still detected. Therefore, it is needed to strengthen control in system in NPPs and to consistently monitor tritium in environment.
