Marine structures including offshore wind turbines (OWTs) always work under cyclic loads, which arouses much attention on the fatigue design. The tripod substructure is one of the typical foundation forms for fixed OWTs. The three-planar tubular Y-joint (3Y joint) is one of the important components in fatigue design as it is most likely to have cracks. With the existence of the multiplanar interaction effect, calculating the hot spot stress (HSS) of 3Y joints is complicated. To assist with fatigue design, the distributions of stress concentration factor (SCF) and multiplanar interaction factor (MIF) along weld toe curves induced by the out-of-plane bending moment are explored in this study. An FE analysis method was first developed and verified against experimental results. This method was applied to build a numerical database including 1920 FE models covering common ranges of geometric parameters. A parametric study has been carried out to reveal the distribution patterns of SCF and MIF. After multidimensional nonlinear fittings, SCF and MIF distribution formulas have been proposed. Accuracy and reliability checking prove that the proposed formulas are suitable for calculating the HSS of 3Y joints.

In winter, Jeju's Seogwipo and Jungmun areas are 2~3℃ warmer than Jeju City. The reason is that when the north wind over Halla Mountain crosses Baengnokdam of Halla Mountain and passes the 300m long and 260m vertical rock face of Donnaeko at an altitude of 1600m above sea level, the cold air turns into warm air through adiabatic compression, and the warmth rides on Donnaeko and flies to Seogwipo and Jungmun. Conversely, the south wind that rises over the sea in Seogwipo in the summer passes over Hallasan Mountain and passes 99 valleys before turning into a muggy, humid climate, making Jeju hot. In other words, it is because of The wind from Jeju City to Seogwipo-The Wind from Seogwipo to Jeju City.

To develop plain dried products of large anchovy, Engraulis japonica, lipid oxidation during drying of large anchovy and optimal drying condition were investigated. The moisture contents of large anchovy on 7 hrs dryness were $ 9.0{\%},\;34.0{\%},\;38.0{\%} and\;38.8{\%}\;in\;60^{\circ}C$ hot-air drying (wind velocity, 1.4m/sec), $40^{\circ}C$ hot-air drying (wind velocity, 1.4 m/sec), sun drying($30{\pm}5^{\circ}C$) and $20^{\circ}C$ cold-air drying (wind velocity, 3.1 m/sec), respectively. The cold-air drying depressed remarkably the lipid oxidation of large anchovy during drying, resulting from AV, POV, COV and the formation of browning pigment. The fatty acid composition of large anchovy was $35.8{\%} in saturates, 20.0{\%} in monoenes and 44.2{\%}$ in polyenes. Saturates and monoenes were increased in proportion to the increase of drying time, while polyenes were decreased. The contents of 20 : 5 and 22 : 6 of polyenes were decreased remarkably in proportion to the progress of lipid oxidation, while 14 : 0, 16 : 0, 16 : 1 and 18 : 1 of saturates and monoenes were increased. The changes in fatty acid compositions by drying conditions were remarkably clarified in sun drying, followed by $60^{\circ}C$ hot-air drying $40^{\circ}C$ hot-air drying and $20^{\circ}C$ cold-air drying in order.

Chemical application, one of the most important crop management processes happened to cause spray drift, that would threaten farmers in field as well as dwellers in rural region. Spray drift was affected by micro-meteorological parameters. A study to evaluate short distance drift characteristics of a boom sprayer in paddy fields has been undergoing. This study is the first step of the research. Main purpose of the was conducted to develop a mean wind profile and to get information on turbulence intensities above and within rice canopy. Wind in rice paddy field were measured at every 10cm from 10 to 180cm above the ground using a 2-dimensional probe and a hot wire anemometer system. Main results were summarized as follows. 1. Mean wind profile was modeled as; Equations. see full-text 2. Roughness length and zero-displacement in rice canopy were analyzed to be respectively 0.04 and 0.7∼0.72 times of the canopy height. The values are smaller comparing to those of other crops because rice canopy is flexible and uniform comparing to other crops. 3. Turbulence intensities (Tl) was greater as close to the ground and became constant at heights greater than 1.5Hc. where Tl’s were 0.4 and 0.15 in horizontal and vertical direction respectively.

We investigate the flow characteristics around a series of rectangular bodies ($40^d{\times}80^w{\times}80^h$, $80^d{\times}80^w{\times}80^h$ and $160^d{\times}80^w{\times}80^h$) placed in a deep turbulent boundary layer. The study is aiming to understand the surface pressure distribution around the bodies such as the suction pressure in the leading edge, when the flow is normal, which is responsible for producing extreme suction pressures on the roof. The experiment includes wind tunnel work by using HWA (Hot-Wire anemometry) and pressure transducers. The experiments are carried out at three different Reynolds numbers, based on the velocity U at the body height h, of $2.4{\times}10^4$, $4.6{\times}10^4$ and $6.7{\times}10^4$, and large enough that the mean flow is effectively Reynolds number independent. The results include the measurements of the growth of the turbulent boundary layer in the wind tunnel and the surface pressure around the bodies.

An experimental study of the transonic flows over NACA and double wedge airfoils was conducted with a shock tube. The configuration of test section with a slotted wall and chamber was designed and tested to minimize wall and reflected shock wave effects and use the shock tube as simple and less costly wind tunnel generating the relatively high Reynolds numbers transonic flow. Transonic airfoil flows at hot gas Mach numbers of 0.80~0.84, Reynolds number of about $1.2{\times}10^6$ on airfoil chord length and angles of attack of $0^{\circ}$ and $2^{\circ}$ were visualized with the shadowgraph method. The shock wave profiles on the airfoils were compared with the corresponding results from the conventional transonic wind tunnel tests. The experimental results showed that present shock tube exhibited the proper performance characteristics as transonic wind tunnel for tested Mach number range and airfoils.

This study was conducted in order to develop wind-water heating system where frictional heat is creased between the rotor and working fluid when they are rotating in the cylindrical heat generator. The wind-water heating system is composed of rotor, stator, working fluid, motor, inverter and heat generation tank. Instead of wind turbine, we have used an electrical motor of 30㎾ to rotate the rotor in this system. Two working fluids and six levels of rotor rpm were tested to quantify heat amounts generated by the system. Generally, as motor rpm goes up heat amount increases that we have expected. At the same rpm, viscous fluid showed up better performance than the water, generating more heat by 10$\^{C}$ difference. The greatest heat amount of 31,500kJ/h was obtained when the system constantly drained out the hot water of at the flow rate of 500ℓ/h. Power consumption rate of the motor was measured by thee phase electric power meter where the largest power consumption rate was 14㎾ when motor rpm was 600 and gained heat was 31,500kJ/h, that indicated total thermal efficiency of the wind power water heating system was 62%.

The turbulent flow field characteristics of a gun-type gas burner with and without a duct were investigated under the isothermal condition of non-combustion. Vectors and mean velocities were measured by hot-wire anemometer system with an X-type hot-wire probe in this paper. The turbulent flow field with a duct seems to cause a counter-clockwise recirculation flow from downstream to upstream due to the unbalance of static pressure between a main jet flow and a duct wall. Moreover, the recirculation flow seems to expand the main jet flow to the radial and to shorten it to the axial. Therefore, the turbulent flow field with a duct increases a radial momentum but decreases a axial momentum. As a result, an axial mean velocity component with a duct above the downstream range of about X/R=1.5 forms a smaller magnitude than that without a duct in the inner part of a burner, but it shows the opposite trend in the outer part.
