New experimental method to measure solid descending velocity in a vertical downcomer was presented and effects of downcomer diameter and particle properties on descending velocities for Geldart group A, B, and D particle have been measured and investigated. The effect of initial solid inventory on solid descending velocity was negligible. However, solid flow rate, solid circulation rate and solid descending velocity increased as the downcomer diameter increased. Moreover, solid descending velocity increased linearly as the downcomer diameter increased and showed distinguishable trend for Geldart group D particle from Geldart group A and B particles. Empirical correlations of solid descending velocity for Geldart group D and Geldart group A and B particles have been derived based on the measured values. The correlations could predict well the solid descending velocities.

Metal emulsions have been studied for several decades as a method of increasing the efficiency of the steelmaking process. This study was performed using a water model, observable at room temperature, to compensate for the disadvantages of the high-temperature experiment, the results of which are difficult to observe visually. As a substitute for metal-in-slag emulsions, experiments were conducted by dropping distilled water into silicone oil and comparing the results with the results of a calculation by momentum balance equations. The descending velocity of the water droplet decreased as the diameter of the droplet and viscosity of the fluid (silicon oil) increased. To simulate the descending velocity of a water droplet in silicon oil under stirring conditions, the flow rate of the fluid (silicon oil) was measured by particle image velocimetry (PIV) methods. The calculation of the descending velocity of the water droplet was in good agreement with the measured values, with and without stirring a viscous silicone oil.

To examine possibilities to make use of woodceramics for the lower material of hot-floored ondol boards, woodceramics made from sawdust board with Pinus densiflora, put them in a wood frame and concrete block and heated them sending an electric current, and measured changes in surface temperature of a laminated floor board and a plywood floor board. As the sending an electric current to time passed, their surface temperature increased rapidly up to 20 minutes, and then gradually ascended. In terms of the surface temperature in the wood frame, the beginning temperature of a plywood floor board was higher than that of laminated floor one; however, as time passed, a laminated floor board's temperature rose, and after 60 minutes, it showed similar to the temperature of a floor board of lamination. On the other hand, the surface temperature in a concrete block showed that the laminated floor board was higher than the plywood floor board in both early and 60-minute later temperatures. With the lapse of time after switching off, the surface temperature of floor boards slowly dwindled up to 9 minutes, and from that time on, began to drop sharply. In terms of the descent speed of surface temperature, when woodceramics' surface temperature was adjusted at $70^{\circ}C$, the laminated floor board was the highest; when it was at $80^{\circ}C$, the plywood floor board was the highest, resulting in rapid descent speed of heat.

The vortex ring state that occurs during the descending flight of a rotorcraft generates a circulating flow like a donut near the rotating surface, and it often causes a rotorcraft fall due to loss of thrust. In this paper, we have physically identified the flow field in the vortex ring state of the quadcopter, one of the types of unmanned aerial vehicles. The descending flight of the quadcopter was simulated in a 1m subsonic wind tunnel of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) and the Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) was used for the flow field measurement. The induced velocity in the hovering state is estimated by using the momentum theory and the test was carried out in the range of descent rate at which the vortex ring condition could be caused. The development and the direction of the vortex ring were confirmed by the measurement of the flow field according to not only the descent rate but also propeller separation distance. In addition, the results of the study show the vortex ring state can be predicted sufficiently by measuring the flow velocity around the quadcopter.

Gas and liquid flow characteristics were investigated in an internal circulation airlift reactor using a single nozzle for a gas distributor. In three reactors with different diameters of the downcomer and heights of the riser, the gas holdup in the individual flow zone and the impulseresponse curve of tracer for an air-water system were measured for various gas velocities and reactor heights. Experimental results showed that the flow behavior of bubbles in the riser was the slug flow due to strong coalescences of bubbles and that the bubble flow pattern in the downcomer was the transition bubble flow for the smaller diameter of the downcomer, however, it was the homogeneous bubble flow for the larger one. And mean gas holdups in the individual flow zone and the reactor were greatly increased with decreasing the diameter of the downcomer for the equal ratio of height of the top section to that of the riser. Also, the mixing time was much effected by the height of the top section of reactor and for the equal ratio of height of top section to that of the riser, it was increased with increasing the diameter of the downcomer and the height of the riser. Flow characteristics of liquid were mainly varied with the bubble flow pattern in the downcomer and the size of the top section of reactor. And circulation velocities of liquid in the riser were increased with increasing gas velocities and the size of the top section of reactor, and for the equal ratio of height of top section to that of the riser, they were increased with increasing the diameter of the downcomer and the height of the riser.

The Entry-Descent-Landing process of a lander involves many environmental and technical challenges. To solve these problems, recently, terrestrial relative navigation (TRN) technology has been essential for landers. TRN is a technology for estimating the position and attitude of a lander by comparing Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data and image data collected from a descending lander with pre-built reference data. In this paper, we present a method for generating descent dataset and extracting landmarks, which are key elements for developing TRN technologies to be used on Mars. The proposed method generates IMU data of a descending lander using a simulated Mars landing trajectory and generates descent images from high-resolution ortho-map and digital elevation map through a ray tracing technique. Landmark extraction is performed by an area-based extraction method due to the low-textured surfaces on Mars. In addition, search area reduction is carried out to improve matching accuracy and speed. The performance evaluation result for the descent dataset generation method showed that the proposed method can generate images that satisfy the imaging geometry. The performance evaluation result for the landmark extraction method showed that the proposed method ensures several meters of positioning accuracy while ensuring processing speed as fast as the feature-based methods.

Since motion estimation remove the redundant data to employ the temporal correlations between adjacent frames in a video sequence, it plays an important role in digital video coding. And in the block matching algorithm, search patterns of different shapes or sizes and the distribution of motion vectors have a large impact on both the searching speed and the image quality. In this paper, we propose a new fast block matching algorithm using the small-cross search pattern and the block-based gradient descent search pattern. Our algorithm first finds the motion vectors that are close to the center of search window using the small-cross search pattern, and then quickly finds the other motion vectors that are not close to the center of search window using the block-based gradient descent search pattern. Through experiments, compared with the block-based gradient descent search algorithm(BBGDS), the proposed search algorithm improves as high as 26-40% in terms of average number of search point per motion vector estimation.

하도 내 수역이 식생으로의 천이가 진행되고 최종적으로는 육상 식물들이 활착하게 되는 육역화 현상은 하도의 수리학적 문제 및 환경생태적 측면에서 큰 문제를 발생시킬 가능성을 내포하고 있다. 최근 하천복원의 필요성이 강조됨에 따라 물골공법 및 국부세굴 유도형 공법 등 실용성을 포함시킨 다양한 하천 복원공법이 제시되고 있다. 물골공법은 자연적인 물골형상에 의한 유사퇴적방지, 홍수시 유속저감 및 생물서식처를 조성하는 하상 생태복원 공법을 의미하며, 본 연구에서는 수리모형실험 및 3차원 수치모의를 이용하여 다양한 하도육역화 방지 공법 중 물골공법의 효과 및 적용성을 검토하였다. 물골공법의 특성 중 유사퇴적방지의 효율성 분석을 위해 부정류(unsteady state)상태에 대해 연구를 수행하였으며 홍수 이후 수위하강시 고수부지 및 물골 주변에서의 흐름특성을 재현하였다. 수위하강 모의를 위해 임의의 수위하강시간을 선정하여, 수위하강이 진행되는 시간( )을 각각의 수위하강시간으로 무차원 화한 후 무차원된 시간(t/�� )에 따른 흐름특성을 비교 분석하였으며 모의 및 분석결과, 수위하강시간이 80초 이상일 경우 주요 지점에서의 유속의 변화는 무차원된 시간에 대하여 일치하였으며 수리모형실험 및 수치모의에 적용할 수위하강시간으로 선정할 수 있었다. 물골 전구간에 대한 부정류 실험을 위해 LSPIV(Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry)장치를 이용하여 수위하강에 따른 물골주변의 흐름특성을 관측하였으며 3차원 수치모의를 통해 검증하였다. 실험 분석결과, 수위하강에 따라 고수부지 위로 흐르는 유수가 물골 내부로 유입되어 물골을 따라 흘러 물골 합류부로 이동하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 홍수시 유수와 함께 떠다니는 부유사(suspended load)가 물골로 유입되어 물골 합류부로 이동하므로 물골의 유사배제 가능성을 판단할 수 있었다. 또한 물골의 유사배제능력을 평가를 위해 실험을 통하여 산정된 최대 및 최소 마찰속도(U )와 유사이동 한계곡선을 이용하여 물골의 통한 배제 가능한 유사의 입경을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 최소 2mm에서 최대 4mm로 나타났으며 이 입경 이하인 유사에 대해서는 퇴적되지 않고 물골을 통하여 배제될 수 있을 것으로 예상되었다. 본 연구 결과 물골공법 적용시 수위하강에 따라 물골에서 하도방향으로 유사의 수세(flushing)효과가 나타났으며 유사의 부상 및 이송이 효과적으로 발생하여 고수부지 내 유사퇴적 방지가 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다. 추후 다양한 형상의 물골에 대한 능력검토가 보완된다면 물골설계지침 제안을 위한 자료로 활용 가능할 것이다.
