The floating sculptures in the form of ad-ballon commonly used ropes in order to hold on. Relatively air flow is much less indoor than outdoor. Users of buoyancy sculptures hope to be able to maintain their desired posture without being fixed. This study applied drone technology to buoyancy sculptures. The drones can be moved vertically and horizontally, and the posture can be maintained, so buoyancy sculptures are easy to apply. Therefore, we have studied the control system of buoyancy sculpture using drone technology. Also, a control system that can maintain the desired posture at a constant height was studied. The overall shape was a light fiber material and helium gas for zero buoyancy to support the sculpture. The system configuration was STM32F103CB from ARM. In addition, the gyro and acceleration, geomagnetic sensors and motors are composed of small and medium size BLDC motors. The scheduling of the control system in the configuration of the control device was carefully considered. Because the role of the whole component becomes very important. The communication between the components is divided into the sensor fusion and the interface communication with the whole controller. Each communication technology is designed to expand. This study was implemented to actively respond from the viewpoint of posture control using the drone technology.

In this study, the effect of stationary fin and buoyancy devices on dynamic pithing of the tracked vehicle was investigated. For this work, the stationary fin and buoyancy devices were installed in front of body and then pitching variation was measured when rapidly reducing the vehicle speed in water operation. According to the results of measuring the freeboard at each case, when only fin was installed, the effect on freeboard of tracked vehicle in water was negligible. However, when buoyancy devices were installed, front freeboard was approximately increased by about 20~25 mm and rear freeboard was decreased by about 10~15 mm per each addition of 100 kg buoyancy device. Based on the calculation result of pitching decrease rates, it was found that the pitching variation was decreased approximately 12.3 % by fin installation and approximately 2 % by installation of each 100 kg of buoyancy device. The case in which only fin installation was made showed the best efficiency in decreasing pitching variation of the tracked vehicle in water compared to the other cases.

염전의 자동화 시스템 구성을 위해서는 증발지의 염도 및 수위 측정이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 2개의 고정된 부력체의 부력을 측정하여 함수의 염도 및 수위를 동시에 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 측정방식은 측정 장치가 함수에 잠기게 될 때 주부력체와 비교부력체의 부력을 측정하고, 두 부력의 합과 차를 통해 염도와 수위를 동시에 측정하는 것이다. 부력의 측정에 기계적인 움직임이 없어서 뻘이 포함된 염전의 환경에서 측정 오류와 유지보수가 필요성을 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 방법을 적용하여 염전의 증발지에서 원격으로 염도 및 수위를 동시에 측정할 수는 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 여러 수준의 염도를 갖는 기준함수를 사용한 측정 실험을 통하여 염도 오차 0%, 수위 오차 2mm의 결과를 얻고, 제안된 염도 및 수위 측정 장치의 유효성을 확인하였다. 개발된 염도 및 수위 측정 장치를 활용하여 자동화 시스템을 구성할 경우 노동력 절감 및 작업 환경 개선과 생산성 증진이 기대된다.

The Laminar lifted methane jet flames diluted with helium and nitrogen in co-flow air have been investigated experimentally. The chemiluminescence intensities of $OH^{\ast}$ and $CH_2O^{\ast}$ radicals and the radius of curvature for tri-brachial flame were measured using an intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) camera, monochromator and digital video camera. The product of $OH^{\ast}$ and $CH_2O^{\ast}$ is used as a excellent proxy of heat release rate. These methane jet flames could be lifted in buoyancy and jet dominated regimes despite the Schmidt number less than unity. Lifted flames were stabilized due to buoyancy induced convection in buoyancy-dominated regime. It was confirmed that increased $OH^{\ast}$ and $CH_2O^{\ast}$ concentration caused an increase of edge flame speed via enhanced chemical reaction in buoyancy dominated regime. In jet momentum dominated regime lifted flames were observed even for nozzle exit velocities much higher than stoichiometric laminar flame speed. An increase in radius of curvature in addition to the increased $OH^{\ast}$ and $CH_2O^{\ast}$ concentration stabilizes such lifted flames.

The Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) has developed a test module that can vertically ascend and descend with a buoyancy engine to verify the performance of the developed buoyancy engine. The independent test module has been tested in the Ocean Engineering Basin(C.M.Lee et al., 2023). After that, more tests were performed in the Deep Ocean Engineering Basin and at sea. In the 50-meter depth pit test of the Deep Ocean Engineering Basin, there were no problems with the ascent and descent operations, but the buoyancy engine was not properly maintained due to various problems in the independent test module, resulting in a difference between the calculated results using the solution of the equations of motion and the actual measurement results. The East Sea test was conducted at a depth of approximately 110 meters north-east of Pohang, with a dive to 100 meters. The difference between the pressure sensor value and the calculated value was observed, but after checking the results of the underwater position tracking device(USBL, Ultra Short Base Line system), it was estimated that the difference was caused by the influence of the current.

Currently, potentiometric method has been employed to measure fuel amount for automobile. However, potentiometer could be malfunctioned or damaged due to the additives or dirt in fuel because a variable electric resistor is immersed in fuel. Therefore, a device employing strain sensor is designed and tested to verify the possibility as an alternative of the conventional fuel sender. Existing fuel tank has irregular cross section. Therefore, buoyancy is not increased linearly as fuel amount is increased. We design a floater that can compensate the irregular cross section of fuel tank and make buoyancy to increase linearly with increasing fuel amount. New fuel sender, comprising of strain gages on circular membrane, the above commented floater and the cover to prevent the disturbance due to sudden acceleration and deceleration, is designed and tested to replace current fuel sender. On the other hand, we are developing strain sensor that has strain gage deposited directly on the circular membrane with cantilever beam.

This research aims at establishing the application of canvas kite to the fishing gear through the analysis of the lift/drag tests of the kites have been performed in our previous finding. Now that several methodologies were designed to find the most effective triangular model as a buoyancy device applied to the fishing gear. Comparisons of drag/lift were made by installing the model in an installation frame instead of the prototype. Also, we have considered the application of canvas kite to the prototypic fishing gear by calculation using the result of this test. The results obtained from the above approaches are summarized as follows, where attack angle, lift coefficient, maximum lift coefficient and drag coefficient are denoted as $B,\;C_L,\;C_Lmax\;and\;C_D$ respectively. The camber showed a gradual increase with an increase of fluid velocity. There was a big discrepancy in B=20 unlike B=30. Even if the kite retreats along the fluid flow, there is little relationship with the velocity variation. Lifts calculated with the kites were bigger and drags were smaller than those of the calculations with the float only. The kite as the buoyancy device will be very useful when the appropriate applications and the stability are met.

기포 저감 장치는 기름의 정량 공급과 관련된 문제 해결의 목적을 둔 장치이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기포 저감 장치의 작동 중 기포 입자의 크기별 유동특성을 확인하고자 수치해석을 진행하였다. 기초해석을 진행한 결과, 기포의 상승과 하강이 가장 활발하게 나타나는 영역을 발견하였고, 그 지점을 중심으로 수치적 계산을 수행하였다. 수치적 계산에 앞서 각 변수들 간의 동차성을 확보하기 위하여 무차원 유도를 수행하였다. 무차원 유도를 수행한 데이터를 바탕으로 각 입자의 크기별, 유체의 속도별 25개의 변수 조건을 설정하여 별도의 계산을 통해 기포 상승과 하강의 대한 수식을 도출하였다. 각 변수별로 항력과 부력의 비를 계산하여 기포에 작용하는 항력이 부력보다 큰 경우 기포가 하강하며 기포는 저감되지 않는다고 판단하였고, 부력이 항력보다 큰 경우 기포는 상승하며 기포가 저감된다고 판단하였다. 수치 계산 데이터를 바탕으로 유동 해석을 진행하였다. 유동 해석을 통하여 기포의 상승과 하강을 확인하였고, 수치 계산의 결과와도 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.

The laminar lifted jet flames for methane diluted with helium and nitrogen in co-flow air have been investigated experimentally. Such jet flames could be lifted in both buoyancy-dominated and jet momentum dominated regimes (even at nozzle exit velocities much higher than stoichiometric laminar flame speed) despite the Schmidt number less than unity. Chemiluminescence intensities of $OH^*$ radical (good indicators of heat release rate) and the radius of curvature for tri-brachial flame were measured using an intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) camera and digital video camera at various conditions. It was shown that, an increase in $OH^*$ concentration causes increase of edge flame speed via enhanced chemical reaction in buoyancy dominated regime. In jet momentum dominated regime, an increase in radius of curvature in addition to the increased $OH^*$ concentration stabilizes such lifted flames. Stabilization of such lifted flames is discussed based on the stabilization mechanism.
