  • The cross flow turbine attracts more and more attention for its relatively wide operating range and simple structure. In this study, a novel type of micro cross flow turbine is developed for application to a step in an irrigational channel. The head of the turbine is only H=4.3m and the turbine inlet channel is open ducted type, which has barely been studied. The efficiency of the turbine with inlet open duct channel is relatively low. Therefore, a guide nozzle on the turbine inlet is attached to improve the performance of the turbine. The guide nozzle shapes are investigated to find the best shape for the turbine. The guide nozzle plays an important role on directing flow at the runner entry, and it also decreases the negative torque loss by reducing the pressure difference in Region 1. There is 12.5% of efficiency improvement by attaching a well shaped guide nozzle on the turbine inlet.

  • Flow field-flow fractionation (FlFFF) is a technology to separate the molecules by size in an open channel. Molecules with different size have different diffusivities and are located vertically in different positions when passing through an open channel. In this study, hollow fiber membranes instead of conventional rectangular channels have been used as materials for the open channel and this change would decrease the cost of manufacturing. FlFFF is a useful technique to characterize the biopolymeric materials. Retention time, diffusion coefficients and Stokes radius of analysis can be calculated from the related simple equations. Hollow-fiber flow field-flow fractionation (HF-FlFFF) has been used for the characterization and separation of protein mixture in a phosphate buffer solution and has demonstrated the potential to be developed into a disposable FlFFF channel. The important indexes for the analytical separation are selectivity, resolution and plate height. The optimized separation condition for protein mixture of Ovalbumin, Alcohol dehydrogenase, Apoferritin and Thyroglobulin is ${\dot V}_{out}/{\dot V}_{rad}=0.65/0.85\;mL/min$.

  • An antidiabetic drug, rosiglitazone is a member of the drug class of thiazolidinedione. Although restrictions on use due to the possibility of heart toxicity have been removed, it is still a drug that is concerned about side effects on the heart. We here examined, using Chinese hamster ovary cells, the action of rosiglitazone on Kv1.5 channels, which is a major determinant of the duration of cardiac action potential. Rosiglitazone rapidly and reversibly inhibited Kv1.5 currents in a concentrationdependent manner (IC50 = 18.9 μM) and accelerated the decay of Kv1.5 currents without modifying the activation kinetics. In addition, the deactivation of Kv1.5 current, assayed with tail current, was slowed by the drug. All of the results as well as the usedependence of the rosiglitazone-mediated blockade indicate that rosiglitazone acts on Kv1.5 channels as an open channel blocker. This study suggests that the cardiac side effects of rosiglitazone might be mediated in part by suppression of Kv1.5 channels, and therefore, raises a concern of using the drug for diabetic therapeutics.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 도시 유역에서의 표면유출에 의한 맨홀 유입량을 추정하고 관망에서의 흐름을 해석하기 위한 모형을 개발하기 위한 것이다. 각 맨홀로의 유입량은 합리식을 이용한 단순방법으로 유입 수문곡선을 모의하는 방법과 해당유역 특성을 고려한 표면유출 모의에 의한 유입 수물곡선 결정방법이 이용된다. 관망에서의 흐름은 Saint-Venant공식의 dynamic equation에 유한음차분법(four-point implicit method)응 적용하여 동시해법으로 해석하였다. 특히 압력류(surcharge flow)흐름은 관의 상단에 좁고 긴 가상관을 연결시켜 모든 흐름을 개수로 흐름으로 해석가능 하도록 전환함으로써 해석의 단순화를 기하였고, 개발된 USS-slot모형이 부정류 우수관망 흐름을 적절히 모의할 수 있는가를 판별하기 위하여 기존에 연구된 관망에 적용하여 그 결과들을 비교 분석하였다.

  • IEEE 802.11 무선랜(Wireless LAN)은 다수의 전송속도(transmission rate)를 지원하고 있으며, 채널 상태에 따라 전송속도를 적응적으로 조절함으로써 시스템 성능을 최대화할 수 있다. 지금까지 많은 종류의 전송속도 조절기법들이 제안되어 왔으나 최근까지 대부분의 상용제품에 구현된 기법은 ARF(Automatic Rate Fallback)라는 간단한 open-loop 전송속도 조절기법이다. 이러한 open-loop 전송속도 조절기법의 가장 큰 문제점은 데이터의 충돌현상(collision effect)을 고려하지 않는다는 것이며, 이로 인해 충돌에 의한 다수의 전송실패가 발생할 경우 시스템 성능이 급격히 낮아진다는 문제점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 CARA(Collision-Aware Rate Adaptation)라는 새로운 전송속도 조절기법을 제안하고 있다. CARA는 송신 단말이 채널에러에 의해 발생한 데이터 전송실패를 충돌에 의해 발생한 것과 구분할 수 있도록 적응적으로 CCA(Clear Channel Assessment)와 RTS/CTS(Request-to-Send/Clear-to-Send) 전송을 사용하는 기법이다. 따라서 기존의 open-loop 전송속도 조절기법과 비교할 때, CARA는 보다 정확하게 현재 채널상태에 적합한 전송속도를 선택할 수 있게 된다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 많은 실험결과들로부터 CARA는 채널상태에 관계없이 다른 기법들보다 월등히 높은 성능을 나타낸다는 것을 알 수 있다.

  • 서해 개야수로 인근의 파랑전파, 해수유동, 퇴적물이동을 분석하기 위해서 각종 인공구조물 설치 전(CASE1W)과 후(CASE2W)로 분류하고, CASE1W와 CASE2W에 대한 계산결과를 비교하였다. 파랑전파에 대해서는 SWAN 수치모형을 이용하여 입사파와 반사파의 결과를 도출하였고, 해수유동에 대해서는 FLOW2DH 수치모형을 이용하여 해수유동에 따른 유속 결과를 도출하였다. SWAN 수치모형과 FLOW2DH 수치모형의 결과는 퇴적물이동을 예측하는 SEDTRAN 수치모형의 입력조건이 되어 개야수로 인근의 최대 저면전단응력과 부유사 농도분포를 계산하였다. SWAN 수치모형 계산결과, CASE2W의 경우 약 7 km 길이의 북측 도류제에 의해서 입사파가 회절 및 중첩되고, 반사파가 생성되어 개야수로 인근의 파고를 CASE1W에 비해 40~50 % 증가시켰다. FLOW2DH 수치모형 계산결과, 북방파제, 북측 도류제 및 금란도에 의해서 개야수로의 유속이 CASE1W과 대비하여 CASE2W가 10~30 % 빠르게 계산되었다. SEDTRAN 수침모형의 계산결과, 복합 파랑장(입사파, 반사파, 조석)에 따른 해양환경과 각종 인공구조물의 설치에 의해서 개야수로의 최대 저면전단응력이 1.0 N/m2 이상인 구간과 부유사농도가 80 mg/L 이상인 구간이 넓게 분포되었다는 것은 개야수로에 퇴적현상이 발생한 것이라고 판단된다.

  • A numerical method for a wave diffraction problem in three-dimensional channels is developed. The physical models are various shapes of channel connected to the open sea. When a ship or an offshore structure is moored in various configurations of channel connected to an open sea, the prediction of the hydrodynamic force exerting on the moored ship could be important for the prediction of its motion. It is assumed that the fluid is inviscid and incompressible and its motion is irrotational. From the continuity equation, the Laplace equation can be obtained as the governing equation. The surface tension at free surface is neglected, and wave amplitude is assumed to be small compared to the wave length. Then the free surface condition can be linearized. The numerical method used here is the localized finite element method based on a variational formulation

  • Present study examines the detonation wave propagation characteristics in annular channel. A normalized value of channel width to the annular radius was considered as a geometric parameter. Numerical approaches used in the previous studies of detonation wave propagation were extended to the present study with OpenMP parallelization for multicore SMP machines. The major effect of the curved geometry on the detonation wave propagation seems to be a flow compression effect, regardless of the detonation regimes. The flow compression behind the detonation wave by the curved geometry of the circular channel pushes the detonation wave front and results in the overdriven detonation waves with increased detonation speed beyond the Chapmann-Jouguet speed. This effect gets stronger as the normalized radius smaller, as expected. The effect seems to be negligible beyond the normalized radius of 10.

  • Because the liquid-vapor interfacial shear stress affects seriously the liquid flow and the maximum heat transport rate of the grooved wick heat pipe, an accurate modeling for the pressure drop characteristics of the liquid flow is required. A novel method for calculating the liquid pressure drop and the velocity profile of an open channel flow in a microchannel with an arbitrary cross-section is suggested and validated by experiments. An experimental apparatus for the Poiseuille number of the liquid flow in open rectangular microchannels with the hydraulic diameters of 0.40mm, 0.43mm, 0.48mm is used in order to reproduce real situations in the grooved wick heat pipe. Analytic results from the suggested method are compared with the experimental data and they are in a close agreement with each other.

  • An open problem proposed by Safavi-Naini and Seberry in IEEE transactions on information theory(1991) can be reduced to a combinatorial problem on partitioning a subset of binary matrices. We solve the generalized Naini-Seberry's open problem by considering a certain class of binary matrices. Thus a subliminal channel of r 〉 1 bit capacity is systematically established for Naini-Seberry's authentication schemes. We also construct concrete examples.
