The effect of electroless Ni and Cu plating on $LaNi_5$, $AB_5$ type hydrogen storage alloy was investigated by the various electrochemical techniques such as constant current charge-discharge test, cyclic voltammeoy, and a.c. impedance spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction test were conducted for phenomenological logical analyses. Cyclic Voltammetry results show that activation characteristics, cycle life and reaction ,rate were improved through electroless Ni and Cu plating. Compared with bare $LaNi_5$ the charge transfer resistance of electrode was greatly reduced as charge-discharge cycle increases. Therefore, electroless Ni and Cu plating on $LaNi_5$ alloy tends to accelerate the early activation, increasing the cyclic lift of electrode.

The present study has been carried out to analyze the flow characteristics with geometric shape and control conditions in subsea by-pass valve. The function of by-pass valve is to prevent reverse flow. In this study, the static analysis has been perform for analyzing fluid flow in open state. In order to consider the turbulent effect, the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model was used. A variety of parametric studies, such as by-pass valve type or size, volume flow rate, leakage hole size, leakage hole position, block type, block shape, were performed. The pressure difference across the valve in the model broadened the flow channel cross-sectional area was greater than the base model for the same operating conditions. As the pipe diameter in the block decreases the pressure difference is greatly increased. The pressure difference according to block shape such as edge type and round was almost negligible. For the same Reynolds number the pressure difference was little changed according to the size of the valve.

An Experimental investigation into the effects of the blowing jet type and jet orientation on the aerodynamic characteristics over an elliptic type airfoil is explored. This study is aimed at expanding the data base of blowing jet application in separation control of elliptic airfoil. Present data includes: surface pressure, blowing jet exit velocity measurements and integrated aerodynamic loads. The experiments were performed for an elliptic airfoil at Reynolds number $8.22{\times}10^5$. The improvement of effects of pulsed jet on the increase of aerodynamic characteristics was significant for the post-stall angle. For reduced mass flow rates, pulsed jet allowed considerably higher lift to be generated. The jet orientation also showed dominant parameter on the separation control Positive jet angle delay or avoid separation, whereas negative jet angle promotes it.

In-flight icing is a critical technical issue for aircraft safety and, in particular, ice accretions on aircraft surfaces can drastically impair aerodynamic performances and control authority. In order to investigate icing effects on the aerodynamic characteristics of KC-100 aircraft, a state-of-the-art CFD code, FENSAP-ICE, was used. A main wing section and full configuration of KC-100 aircraft were considered for the icing analysis. Also, shapes of iced area were calculated for the design of anti-/de-icing devices. The iced areas around leading edge of main wing and horizontal tail wing were observed maximum 7.07% and 11.2% of the chord length of wing section, respectively. In case of wind shield, 16.7% of its area turned out to be covered by ice. The lift of KC-100 aircraft were decreased to 64.3%, while the drag was increased to 55.2%.

This study deals with the experimental and numerical investigations to design the high performance otter board. Experiment was carried out to determine the most effective slot size of single-slot cambered otter board in the circulation water channel of BAEK KYUNG IND. Co. LTD. Numerical analysis was done by the commercial CFD code, FLUENT, to provide some valuable physical interpretations and finally to design the otter board section by numerical method. The major results are as follows ; 1. In experiment, the maximum lift and drag coefficients of simple cambered type otterboard were 1.41, 0.55, respectively, at the angle of attack $28^\circ$, while those of slot one with slot size 0.02C (C denotes the chord length) were 1.72, 0.42 at the angle of attack $24^\circ$. 2. The hydrodynamic characteristics depending upon slot size shows the greatest at 0.02C of the slot size. 3. Numerical results well visualized the streamlines, pressure fields, and speed vectors of a simple cambered and slot cambered otter board with slot size 0.02C. The slot cambered one with slot size 0.02C was shown that pressure field was distributed moderately on front and back side of otter board. And, the delay and decrease of separation were favorably achieved by flow through slot. 4. Computed result on the pattern of hydrodynamic field and the values of $C_L$ and $C_D$ by the commercial CFD code, FLUENT, show almost the same as those of the experimental result.

The purpose of this study is to assist understanding the integrated subjects and to obtain implications required on the actual operation of curriculum by analyzing content elements and basic inquiry activities in the revised "wise lift" curriculum 2007. The result of this study is as follows. First, the formation of elements in contents of "wise life" deals with the passage of time based on changing seasons, myself and family in the 1st grade and the concept of space based on home and a village in the 2nd grade. Six main subjects and twelve activity subjects are presented per each grade. Second, number of activity subjects and content elements are reduced as compared with 7th curriculum so that the responsibility of operating classes based on activities is reduced and the purpose of rationalizing contents is somewhat fulfilled. Third, eliminating a relevant domains decisively when presenting the activity subjects assures the identification and purpose as the integrated subject focused on inquiry activities. Fourth, the result of analyzing the course-relevance on content elements shows that the allotment per each domain and course is less considered but the relevance of social studies is higher regardless of non-course characteristics as the integrated subject. Fifth, according to the component ratio of basic inquiry activities, 'Observing' and 'Debating' were presented as the most essential activities, and 'Measuring' and 'Making' were relatively low. By considering characteristics of course requiring balanced and various experiences of inquiry activities, additional discussions are required on appropriateness of the component ratio. Sixth, 'Observing' was increased and 'Debating' and 'Making' were decreased on the main activities in this revised curriculum as compared with 7th curriculum.

A computational simulation for a nonslender BWB UCAV configuration with rounded leading edge and span of 1.0m was performed to analyze its aerodynamic characteristics. The freestream is 50m/s over -4 to 26 degree A.o.A.s. Reynolds number based on the mean chord length is $1.25{\times}10^6$. 3D multi block hexahedral grids are used which allow good grid quality and ease to capture boundary layer. ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ model as well as $k-{\omega}$ SST model is employed to assess the effect of transition for flow behavior. Drag and lift of the UCAV were well predicted while $C_M$ is under predicted at high angle of attacks and influenced by the turbulence models strongly. After assessing pressure distribution, skin friction lines and velocity field around the UCAV configuration, it was found that transition effect should be considered to enhance the prediction of aerodynamic behavior by a vortical flowfield.

Nose chine shape optimization study has been performed to maximize the directional stability at high angle of attack supersonic flow. Various chine shapes are generated using super ellipse equation. By numerically investigating the directional stability characteristics of those shapes, the baseline configuration for the shape optimization has been selected using the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The configuration is represented by the NURBS curves which can adjust the surface geometry by the control points. The response surfaces are constructed to obtain optimum shape which has high directional stability characteristics and lift-to-drag ratio. From this study, an efficient configuration design and optimization process which utilizes the parameter-based configuration generation techniques and approximation method has been established, then 29% improvement of the directional stability by strong vortexes from chine nose is accomplished.

The present study is concerned with aerodynamic characteristics and reference trajectory generation of Hope-X in Approach/Landing phase. To create reference trajectory generation in A/L phase, detailed informations on lift and drag coefficients of Hope-X must be provided. To obtain these informations, aerodynamic characteristics of Hope-X are analyzed using the commercial CFD code, Fluent. The A/L phase is conceptually divided into three sub-phases: the Steepglide Slope phase for stability of vehicle, the Flare Maneuver phase for safety landing, the Circular Flare for smooth connecting with these both phases. The reference trajectory is obtained by determination of flight-path angle through geometrical formulas with consideration of aerodynamic coefficient and dynamic characteristic.

The effects of continuous blowing on flow control and stall suppression for flows over a NACA 0015 airfoil at low Reynolds numbers were numerically investigated through its parameter variation on unstructured meshes. The aerodynamic force and moment variations due to flow control were examined, along with the stall angle-of-attack change for stall suppression. The results showed that blowing with relatively strong jet increases lift at the cost of drag increment below stall angle. Continuous blowing delays flow stall when it is implemented near the leading edge. When the blowing jet was aligned along the flow direction on the airfoil, the favorable flow control effect was most significant below the stall angle of attack.
