This study investigated numerically the influences of fire curtain and natural smoke vent area on smoke movement in the stage fire of a theater using FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator). The dimension of the theater stage was 31 m in width, 34 m in depth, and 32 m in height. The area ratios between the natural smoke vent and stage were approximately 10%, 8%, 5%, and 1%. The gap distance between the fire curtain and proscenium wall was 0.5 m. The fire curtain and natural smoke vent area were observed to affect significantly the behavior of smoke movement to the auditorium and the mass flow rates of inflow and outflow through the natural smoke vent and proscenium opening. In addition, under the same natural smoke vent area, the pressure in the stage with a fire curtain was lower than that without a fire curtain.

In this paper, a systematic beam splitter design for multi-beam forming is proposed. The objective of this research is to a design beam splitter that splits and focuses scattering microwaves into intense beams in multiple directions. It is difficult to split multi-beam to non-specific directions with theoretical approaches. Therefore, instead of using transformation optics(TO), which is a widely used process for controlling electromagnetic wave propagation, we used a systematic design process called the phase field design method to obtain an optimal topological structure of beam splitter. The objective function is to maximize the norm of electric field of the target areas of each direction. To avoid island structure and obtain the structure in one body, volume constraint is added to the optimization problem by using augmented Lagrangian. Target frequency is set to X-band 10GHz. The optimal beam splitter performed well in multi-beam forming and the transported electric energy of target areas improved. A frequency dependency test was conducted in the X-band to determine effective frequency range.

This study was performed to analyze the degree of rainfalls, the duration time of rainfalls, the inclination of slopes and other damage causes depending on the ground condition, when the landslide occurs by the rainfall. Based on that, a big and a small model soil box were compared to examine the features of landslides, which is ultimately for forecasting landslides. An artificial rainfall device was installed in the model box, and the large model box has a real-size slope in it. Also, various measures were fulfilled such as collapse forms, a pore pressure, an earth pressure and moisture contents in order to analyze the effect of the model box size on the landslide mechanism and to test the usability of a small model box as a material for landslide experiments.

Southeast Asia witnessed a paradox of political stagnation and economic development in 2017. The 'dual order' of security dependence on America and economic dependence on China was sustained in East Asia. In this regard, Southeast Asia of two faces was quite similar to broader East Asia. On one hand, the old socialist group with totalitarian nostalgia lurked in the buffer zone between totalitarianism and authoritarianism, while the original capitalist group under democratic disguise roamed in the gray zone between authoritarianism and democracy. On the other, the old socialist group with the legacy of the planned economy succumbed to the temptation of the Beijing Consensus on state capitalism, while the original capitalist group with the myth of the market economy was exposed to the pressure of the Washington Consensus on liberal capitalism. The ASEAN Community representing the regional integration of Southeast Asia was caught in the strategic predicament of a looming 'new cold war' between the continental and maritime powers.

Flow features near the ship bow such as wave breaking, small scale phenomena have been studied using numerical methods. In this study, the bow shaped wedge was adopted which is from previous paper [1, 2] and the conditions of simulation were Re = 1.64 × 10⁵) and Fr = 2.93. Star CCM+, one of the commercial CFD programs has been used for the simulations. Simulation results such as wave profiles near the ship bow, shape of plunging jet, air entrainment, and wave breaking process have been compared with previous experimental and numerical studies. Overall results showed good agreements with previous studies. Profiles of bow waves showed that overturning jet has been created and broken along the wedge. Plunging wave breaking has been observed along the wedge and four components of plunging wave breaking process were shown. It is confirmed that velocity near the overturing jet significantly increased during plunging wave breaking.

In this paper, a numerical analysis technique using a body force model is investigated to estimate the available net thrust of multi-pod-driven ice-breaking vessels under bollard pull and overload conditions. To employ the body force model in present flow simulations, drag and thrust components acting on the pod unit are calculated by using Propeller Open Water (POW) test data. The available net thrusts according to the direction of operation are evaluated in both bollard pull and overload conditions under deep water. The simulation results are compared with the model test data. The available net thrusts, calculated by the present analysis for ahead operating modes at 3~6 knots which are typical speeds of the target vessel in arctic field, are agreed well with the model test results. It is also found that the present result for astern operating mode appears approximately 6 % larger than the model test result. In addition, the available net thrusts are calculated under the both operating conditions accompanied by shallow water effects, and the main cause of the difference is studied. Based on the result of the present study, it is confirmed that the body force model can be applied to the performance evaluation of multi-pod propulsion system and the main engine selection in early design stage of the vessel.

하천의 최종 유출부와 해양이 만나는 지점을 하구라고 하며, 우리나라는 주로 서해안 지역에 하구 방조제 건설에 따른 담수호가 조성되어 다양한 목적으로 수자원이 활용되고 있다. 이러한 하구 담수호는 바다로 유입되기 직전의 물을 저류시켜 수자원 확보에 긍정적이나, 일반적으로 유역의 최하류에 위치해 있어 오염물질 유입, 부영양화, 염분 침출로 인한 오염물질 용출 등에 취약하다. 따라서 담수호의 회복탄력성 향상과 지속가능한 수자원 관리를 위해서는 미래 기후변화에 따른 영향 분석이 필수적이다. 특히 기후변화는 거대규모의 홍수과 같은 자연재난, 농업가뭄 및 식생가뭄 등의 증가로 이어질 수 있으므로, 이에 효과적으로 대비하기 위해서는 미래 기후조건에 따른 하천의 미래 유출량 변화 예측이 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 불확실한 미래 수문변화를 예측하기 위해 CMIP6(Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) GCMs(Global Climate Models)의 SSP(Shared Socioeconomic Pathways) 시나리오를 유역 유출모델에 적용하여 기후변화에 따른 미래 유출특성의 변화를 예측하였다. 충청남도 서산시에 위치한 간월호 유역을 대상유역으로 선정하고, HSPF(Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN) 모형을 적용하여 상류유역의 과거 및 미래 장기유출량 모의를 수행하였다. 모의된 시나리오별 유출량을 기반으로 최빈유량곡선법을 적용하여 미래의 기준유량 발생시점 및 지속기간의 변화를 분석하였으며, CVDs(Center-of-volume dates)의 변화를 통해 기후변화에 따른 홍수기의 시기적 변화 양상을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 미래 유역 환경변화를 고려한 담수호의 수자원 보전관리계획 수립에 있어 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Currently, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are used as frequencies for drone operation. In December 2019, the Ministry of Science and ICT newly allocated the 433 MHz band for the invisible long-distance operation of drones. However, since the 433 MHz band is the same as the previously allocated frequency band for amateur radio communication, interference cannot be avoided. Therefore, as a prerequisite for the development of a drone operation system based on the 433 MHz band, interference avoidance technology for this frequency band must be developed and applied. In this paper, we report the results of measurement and analysis of 433 MHz band signals necessary for the development of interference avoidance and reduction technologies for 433 MHz signals. The measurement and analysis of the 433 MHz band signal are performed through the spectrum measured at 5-minute intervals at three locations. Since the measurements and analyzes performed in this study considered spatial characteristics, temporal characteristics, and traffic characteristics, it is considered to be the basic data necessary for the development of interference avoidance technology in the 433 MHz band.

The core of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier cargo containment system (CCS) is to store and transport LNG safely under temperatures below -163 degrees Celsius. The secondary barrier of the LNG CCS is adopted to prevent LNG leakage from CCS to the ship's hull structure. Recently, as the size of the LNG CCS increases, various studies have been conducted on the applied temperature and load ranges. The present study investigates the working condition-dependent bonding strength of the PU15 adhesives of the secondary barrier. In addition, the mechanical performance is analyzed at a cryogenic temperature of -170 degrees Celsius, and the failure surface and failure mode are investigated depending on the working condition of the bonded process. Even though the RSB and FSB-based fracture mode was confirmed, the results showed that all the tested scenarios satisfied the minimum requirement of the regulation.

An efficient and accurate hybrid reliability analysis method is proposed in this paper to quantify the risk of an axially loaded single pile considering pile-soil interaction behavior and uncertainties in various design variables. The proposed method intelligently integrates the concepts of the response surface method, the finite difference method, the first-order reliability method, and the iterative linear interpolation scheme. The load transfer method is incorporated into the finite difference method for the deterministic analysis of a single pile-soil system. The uncertainties associated with load conditions, material and section properties of a pile and soil properties are explicitly considered. The risk corresponding to both serviceability limit state and strength limit state of the pile and soil is estimated. Applicability, accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method in the safety assessment of a realistic pile-soil system subjected to axial loads are verified by comparing it with the results of the Monte Carlo simulation technique.
