  • 본 연구는 개수로 흐름에서 조류발전단지의 터빈 최적 배열의 거시적 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 천수방정식을 통해 직사각형 개수로의 흐름장을 해석하였고, 상류와 하류단에 대해 각각 유입경계조건(inlet boundary condition)과 Flather 형식의 개방경계조건(open boundary condition)을 부여하여 일정 유량으로 흐르는 개수로 흐름을 구현하였다. 더불어, Strickler의 법칙을 확장한 반력공식을 연계하여, 개수로 흐름에 대한 조류 터빈의 영향을 반영하였다. 주어진 상류의 흐름 조건에 대해 조류발전량을 최대로 하는 최적 배열을 구하기 위해 터빈 반력모형을 연계한 천수방정식, 터빈간 최소간격, 그리고 발전단지영역을 제한조건으로 하는 발전량 최대화 문제를 구성하였다. 여기서 조류 터빈의 위치를 나타내는 벡터를 설계변수로 두었는데, 설계되는 터빈의 수가 증가함에 따라 최적화 문제의 계산량이 증가하지 않도록 수반법(adjoint method)을 경사도기반법(gradient-based method)에 연계한 방법이 이용되었다. 다수의 터빈초기배치로 상당한 수치실험이 수행되었고, 발전량 최대화를 이루도록 최적화된 터빈의 배치들이 큰 규모에서 고유한 형상으로 수렴함을 확인하였다. 이러한 특성은 발전단지의 너비와 터빈의 최소간격의 함수로 정의된 무차원수 E를 바탕으로 설명되었다. 구체적으로, E가 1보다 작을 때에는 선형배열이 최적배열로 나타났고, E가 1을 넘어 점차 커짐에 따라 하류에 오목한 형상을 보이다가 V-형태로 발전하는 양상을 보였다. 또한, 어느 임계 수 이상의 터빈이 배치되는 경우 일열 배열을 유지하지 못하고 이열 배열로 분리됨이 관찰되었다.

  • In this paper, wave absorbing characteristics of a horizontal submerged punching plate are investigated throughout the calculation and the experiment. The punching plate with the array of circular holes can force the flow to separate and to form eddies of high vorticity and cause significant energy loss. As an analytic tool, the linear water wave theory and the eigenfunction expansion method is applied. Darcy's law that the normal velocity of the fluid passing through the punching plate is linearly proportional to the pressure difference between two sides of the punching plate is assumed. The proportional constant called the porous coefficient is deeply dependent to the porosity. To obtain the relationship between the porosity and the porous coefficient the systematic model test for the punching plates with 6 different porosities is conducted at 2-dimensional wave tank. It is found that the porous coefficient is linearly proportional to the porosity(b=57.63P-0.9717). It is also noted that the optimal porosity value is near P=0.1 and the optimal range of submergence depth is $d/h\\leq0.2$ within entire frequency range.

  • Objectives : This study was aimed to compare Gyejibokryeong-hwan (GBH) decoctions produced using different pressure levels for various extraction times to find the optimal extraction conditions through extraction yield, total soluble solids content (TSSC), hydrogen ion concentration (pH), and the contents of chemical compounds. Methods : Decoctions of GBH were prepared under the pressure levels of 0 or $1kgf/cm^2$ for 30-180 min using water as extraction solvent. The extraction yield, TSSC, and pH were measured, and the amounts of the chemical compounds were determined using high performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector. Results : The higher pressure and longer extraction time increased the values of TSSC and extraction yield, while decreased the pH value. The decoctions produced in 180 min by pressurized method and produced in 150 min by non-pressurized method showed maximum values of extraction yield and TSSC with minimum value of pH. The amounts of chemical compounds showed variations in pressurized and non-pressurized decoction during overall extraction times. The influences of pressure and extraction time on extraction yield, TSSC, pH, and the contents of chemical compounds were confirmed by regression analysis, which showed that all extraction values were significantly affected by at least one of two extraction factors, pressure and extraction time. Conclusions : This study suggests that the pressure and extraction time can significantly affect the extraction efficiency of components from GBH decoctions. However, optimal extraction conditions could not be chosen due to the variation of the amounts of chemical compounds.

  • To develop the optimal design method for the longline type scallop culturing facilities in the open sea numerical calculations and hydraulic model experiments are carried out for the stability and function optimization. Using the results for the motion and tension of the facilities, stable design concepts and effects of motion control system by vertical anchor and resistance discs art discussed. The results of this study that can be applied to the design are as follows: 1) Total external forces by design wave $(H_{1/3}\;=\;6,7\;m,\;T_{1/3}\;=\;12sec)$ at the coastal waters of Jumunjin for unit facility (one main line) are estimated to 5-20 tons, and required anchor weights are 10-40 tons in the case of 2-point mooring system. Though the present facilities are stable to steady currents, but is unstable to the extreme wave condition of return period of 10 years. 2) The dimensions and depth of array systems must be designed considering the ecological environments as well as the physical characteristics including the mooring and holding forces that are proportional to the length and relative depth of main line to wave length, and the number of buoys and nets. 3) Oscillation of the facility is influenced by water particle motion and the weight of hanging net, and is excited at both edge, especially at the lee side. To reduce the motion of the nets, the vertical anchoring system and the resistence disc method are recommended by the experimental results, 4) The damage of rope near the anchor by abrasion should be prevented using the ring-type connection parts or anchor chains.

  • Transmission signal in wireless environment receives a signal in which a source signal, interference, and noise are mixed. The goal of this study is to estimate the desired signal from the received signal. In this paper, we have studied a method correctly estimating a target in spatial by modified beamformer method. The modified bemaformer uses an adaptive array antenna and perturbation matrix to obtain the optimal weight, and estimate the desired signal by radiating the beam in spatial. We estimate a desired signal of the target by improving resolution with the modified beamformer method which does not have complicated calculation amount. Through simulation, we compare and analyze the modified beamformer method and the MUSIC method with good resolution. In result of simulation, we showed that modified beamformer method has better resolution of 10degree than classical beamformer method and showed similar performance as the MUSIC method. The resolution of this paper was estimated to be about 5 degrees.

  • The electrical power system (EPS) of Korean satellites in low-earth-orbit is designed to achieve energy balance based on a one-orbit mission scenario. This means that the battery has to be fully charged at the end of a one-orbit mission. To provide the maximum solar array (SA) power generation, the peak power tracking (PPT) method has been developed for a spacecraft power system. The PPT is operated by a software algorithm, which tracks the peak power of the SA and ensures the battery is fully charged in one orbit. The EPS should be designed to avoid the stress of electronics in order to handle the main bus power from the SA power. This paper summarizes the results of energy balance to achieve optimal power sizing and the actual trend analysis of EPS performance in orbit. It describes the results of required power for the satellite operation in the worst power conditions at the end-of-life, the methods and input data used in the energy balance, and the case study of energy balance analyses for the normal operation in orbit. Both 10:35 AM and 10:50 AM crossing times are considered, so the power performance in each case is analyzed with the satellite roll maneuver according to the payload operation concept. In addition, the data transmission to the Korea Ground Station during eclipse is investigated at the local-time-ascending-node of 11:00 AM to assess the greatest battery depth-of-discharge in normal operation.

  • This paper proposes a method to minimize the target's direction detection error using RADAR. The radar system cannot accurately detect the target direction due to the phase error of he received signal. The proposed method of this study obtains a phase by applying an root mean square to each antenna incident signal, and reduces the phase error by using an optimal signal to noise ratio. In the simulation result, the probability of detecting the target direction is the best when the antenna spacing is half wavelength. The conventional method of direction detection probability 10-1.7 and the proposed method is 10-3.3. The target detection direction of the existing method represents [-8°,8°] with an error of 2 degrees. The target detection direction of the proposed method is shown in [-10°,10°], and all target directions are accurately detected. In the future, There is need for a method to reduce the phase error even though the resolution decrease.

  • This paper presents an application of an optimal smoothing filter for moving target tracking problem based on measured noise source. In order to measure distance and velocity for the moving target, a beamforming method is applied to use the noise source by using microphone array. Also a Kalman filter and an optimal smoothing algorithm are adopted to improve accuracy of trajectory estimation by using a Singer target model. The simulation is conducted with a missile dynamics to verify performance of the optimal smoothing filter, and a model rocket is used for experiment environment to compare the trajectory estimation results between the beamforming, the Kalman filter, and the smoother. The Kalman filter results show better tracking performance than the beamforming technique, and the estimation results of the optimal smoother outperform the Kalman filter in terms of trajectory accuracy in the experiment results.
