Recent simulation tools combine the 3-dimensional graphic technique to implement the 3D visualization of the objects in the 2-Dimensional computer display. In this paper, a sight simulation tool is implemented using the recent 3D techniques. The proposed sight simulator can be applied to improve the human environment with the harmony of the nature. The system is consisted of modules for topography, object, and navigation. A sight database for the sight elements(objects) is implemented using Java. Combined with Java, VRML, which is considered as the standard for 3D virtual reality in the Internet is used to implement EAI(External Authoring Interface). EAI allows the users to communicate with a VRML scene.

An experimental study has been conducted to quantitatively characterize the motion of neutrally buoyant particles in 2-dimensional Poiseuille flow through the micron-sized circular capillaries in the range of Re (Reynolds number) $\approx0.1\sim100$. $A{\mu}-PTV$ (Particle Tracking Velocimetry) system is adopted, which consists of a double-headed Nd:YAG laser, an epi-fluorescence microscope and a cooled CCD camera. Since high shear rate can be induced due to the scale effect even at low Re, it is shown that in micro scale neutrally buoyant particles in Poiseuille flow drift away from the wall and away from the center of the capillary. Consequently, particles accumulate at the equilibrium position of $0.52\sim0.64R$ with R being the radius of the capillary, which is analogous to that of tube flow in macro scale. There is a plateau in equilibrium position at small Re, while equilibrium position starts increasing at $Re\approx30$. The outermost edge of particle cluster is closer to the center of the capillary than that in previous studies due to low Re effect. The present study quantitatively presents characteristics of particle motion in circular capillaries. Furthermore, it is expected to give optimum factors for designing microfluidic systems that are to be used fur plasma separation from the blood.

계통발생학적 분석기법은 서열의 유사성을 비교하여 이들의 유연관계를 알아내는 것으로, 각각의 관계를 시각적으로 표현하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 일반적으로 2차원 계통수를 사용한다. 그러나 2차원으로 시각화했을 때 서로 유사성이 높은 OTU(Operational Taxonomic Unit)들을 서로 멀리 떨어뜨려 놓는 경우도 생기게 된다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 점을 보완하고자 3차원 공간에 OTU들을 배치시키기 위한 2단계 좌표 배치 기법을 제안한다. 단계는 유클리디안 거리를 3차원 좌표로 변환하는 것이다. 1단계 방법은 서열의 비교 순서에 영향을 받기 때문에 2단계를 통해 유전자 알고리즘 기법을 적용하여 보다 적절한 좌표를 찾는다.

Visibility preprocessing is a useful method to reduce the complexity of scenes to be processed in real-time, and so enhances the overall rendering performance for interactive visualization of virtual environments. In this paper, we propose an efficient visibility preprocessing method. In the proposed method, we assume that navigatable areas in virtual environments are partitioned into rectangular parallelpiped cells or sub-worlds. To preprocess the visibility of each polygon for a given partitioned cell, we should determine at least the area-to-area visibility. This is inherently a four-dimensional problem. We efficiently express four-dimensional visibility information on two-dimensional spaces and keep it within a ternary tree, which is conceptually similar to a BSP(Binary Space Partitioning) tree, by exploiting the characteristics of conservative visibility. The proposed method is able to efficiently handle more general environments like urban scenes, and remove invisible polygons jointly blocked by multiple occluders. The proposed method requires O(nm) time and O(n+m) space. By selecting a suitable value for m, users can select a suitable level of trade-off between the preprocessing time and the quality of the computational result.

The air and water flow distribution are experimentally studied for a round header-ten microchannel tube configuration. Three different inlet orientations (parallel, side, normal) were investigated. Tests were conducted with downward flow configuration for the mass flux from 70 to 130 kg/$m^2s$, quality from 0.2 to 0.6, non-dimensional protrusion depth (h/D) from 0.0 to 0.5. It is shown that, for almost all the test conditions, normal inlet yielded the best flow distribution, followed by side and parallel inlet. Possible reasoning is provided using flow visualization results.

A computer simulation technique for 2-dimensional laser generated ultrasonic waves was developed for visualization and investigation of ultrasonic propagation in solids. The technique is similar to a finite difference method (FDM) and a mass-particle model method, but uses a new nodal calculation method based on fundamental consideration of an elastic wave equation. By this method, the propagation behavior oflaser generated ultrasonic wave in thermoelastic and ablation mode is visualized and shows good agreement with previous experimental result or the numerical analysis result by Green function.

2차원 영상 기반의 세포 분석은 2차원 평면 상에서의 관찰만 가능하므로 정확하고 객관적인 분석에 한계가 있다. 따라서 이러한 한계를 극복하고자 컨포컬 현미경을 통해 획득한 연속적인 2차원 단면 영상들로 구성된 볼륨 데이터를 볼륨 및 표면 렌더링을 통해 가시화 하여, 세포핵에 대한 다양한 각도에서의 형태 관찰이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 세포핵 볼륨에서 ROI 추출을 통해 국부 영역 분석의 효율성을 높였다. 그리고 이 결과를 바탕으로 정확한 암 세포의 계측 및 정량적 분석을 통해 이후 자궁암 환자에게 최적의 진단 및 지료를 제공할 수 있는 연구 기반을 마련하고자 한다.

The air and water flow distributions are experimentally studied for a round header - ten flat tube configuration. Three different inlet orientation modes (parallel, normal, vertical) were investigated. Tests were conducted with downward flow configuration for the mass flux from 70 to $130kg/m^2s$, quality from 0.2 to 0.6, non-dimensional protrusion depth (h/D) from 0,0 to 0.5. It is shown that, for almost all the test conditions, vertical inlet yielded the best flow distribution, followed by normal and parallel inlet. Possible explanation is provided using flow visualization results.

The paper discusses the problem of the reduction in Coefficient of Performance (COP) in a refrigerator due to the inadequate position or some flow obstacles such as shelves in a room. The propriety of the present numerical method has teen proved by experiments using the flow visualization technique. The COP are calculated from the temperature rise of the condenser whose temperature indicates the condensing temperature of refrigerant The temperature rise is predicted by the theory of the steady two-dimensional laminar natural convection. In a room size of $2m\;{\times}\;2m$ the COP are decreased by 0.3 when the gap between the wall and condenser are decreased from 10cm to 2cm. While the COP are decreased by 0.55 as the shelf length increases from 0 to 75cm.

In this paper, a small supersonic wind tunnel is designed and built to study the flow characteristics of a supersonic impulse turbine cascade. The flow is visualized by means of a single pass Schlieren system. The supersonic cascade with 2-dimensional supersonic nozzle was tested for various blade leading edge shapes and gaps between the nozzle and cascade. Highly complicated flow patterns including shocks, nozzle-cascade interaction and shock boundary layer interactions are observed.
