  • Plasma technology has long been regarded as a key essential tool in many industrial and technological sectors. However, the advancement of plasma technology in marine applications has not been fully realized yet. Herein, we present a short overview on the recent trends in utilization of plasma technology for air-pollution treatment in marine diesel exhaust. Four non-thermal plasma system, including electron beam dry scrubber (EBDS), dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), electron beam-microwave (EB-MW) plasma hybrid system, and plasma-catalytic hybrid system, are described with emphasis on their efficiency in removals of $NO_x$ and $SO_x$ gases. Non-thermal plasma has the great potential to be an efficient and environmentally compatible technique in simultaneous removals of $NO_x$ and $SO_x$ gases from the exhaust of marine diesel engine in the future.

  • The measurements of heat transfer and total friction factors for turbulent flows in the convergent rectangular channels with two opposite in-line ribbed walls are reported. The study has covered three different angled ribs ($30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$) and Reynolds number in the range of 22,000 to 75,000. The channel, composing of ten isolated copper sections in the length of test section of 1 m, has the channel convergence ratio of $D_{ho}/D_{hi}=0.67$. The results show that the ribs pointing downstream (${\wedge}-shaped$) is somewhat greater than the ribs pointing upstream (V-shaped) in the dimensionless Nusselt number and total friction factors.

  • The number of marine accidents have been decreased since various equipments for navigation control have been introduced to the marine vessels. However, disastrous marine accidents such as ship collisions are occurred more frequently. Therefore, IMO(International Maritime Organization) is enforcing the design requirement of structural strength for marine vessel. Also EU countries are developing new design methodologies and design tools to suggest the design guidance which can minimize the damage of commercial vessels in case of marine collision accidents. In this study, an integrated design system for the safety assessment has been presented to enhance the safety of damaged ships in marine collision accidents. The architecture of system is described by use-cases and IDEF functional analysis. Then an integrated system for safety assessment of damaged ship which is considering both damage stability and structural safety has been developed to support the ship design in early stage.

  • The development of a Marine Engine Room Simulator system for training and research is described. Development objectives of the system are for both student training, research and development work. The system includes a distributed server/client architecture for 1 to 1, or 1 to many client simulation operation through OPC server, complete separation of visual elements from the controlling routines and the ability to work on the mathematical model independent of the controller and visual systems. A graphical user interface for the man-machine interface has been developed and the mathematical model has been updated. Various engine room operational situations can be simulated. The use of marine engine room simulator for training of sea going engineers and its competency for STCW-95 is discussed.

  • Marine risk assessment considers events such as collision/grounding, sinking/capsize, fire/explosion and flooding, developing relationships between their causes and effects. In addition, risk assessment of previously sunken ships are also necessary since they continuously have possibility for further oil spill or can cause other marine accidents. The objective of this paper is to develop the risk assessment systems for sunken ships to prevent oil spill and further marine causalities in order to preserve safe and clean oceans around Korea peninsula. The risk assessment systems for sunken ships comprise of database management sub-system for sunken ships, qualitative risk assessment sub-system, quantitative risk assessment sub-system, and cost-benefit analysis subsystem.

  • In this paper, we propose two power randomization schemes for the random beamforming (RBF) based MIMO systems in cellular downlink. In the proposed system, a BS randomizes not only the pre-coding matrix but also the power allocation matrix, while the conventional RBF system allocates an equal power to each transmit stream. The proposed water-filling based power randomization scheme (Scheme-I) is proper in the low SNR values and the proposed random-power based randomization scheme (Scheme-II) is proper in the high SNR values. The proposed system with the power randomization outperforms the conventional RBF system which allocates the same power for each data stream.
