A general investifation into the physical mechanism that is respinsible for drag above the sea surface has been undertaken. On the basis of a ID model of the Wave Boundary Layer(WBL), under a 2D wave field, a parameterization technique for estimation of the drag and mean characteristics of WBL is described. Special attention is paid to estimation of the simplifying assumption of the theory.

A parameterization of gravity wave drag induced by cumulus convection (GWDC) proposed by Chun and Baik is implemented in the KMA operational global NWP model (GDAPS), and effects of the GWDC on the forecast for July 2005 by GDAPS are investigated. The forecast result is compared with NCEP final analyses data (FNL) and model's own analysis data. Cloud-top gravity wave stresses are concentrated in the tropical region, and the resultant forcing by the GWDC is strong in the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. Nevertheless, the effect of the GWDC is strong in the mid- to high latitudes of Southern Hemisphere and high latitudes of Northern Hemisphere. By examining the effect of the GWDC on the amplitude of the geopotential height perturbation with zonal wavenumbers 1-3, it is found that impact of the GWDC is extended to the high latitudes through the change of planetary wave activity, which is maximum in the winter hemisphere. The GWDC reduces the amplitude of zonal wavenumber 1 but increases wavenumber 2 in the winter hemisphere. This change alleviates model biases in the zonal wind not only in the lower stratosphere where the GWDC is imposed, but also in the whole troposphere, especially in the mid- to high latitudes of Southern Hemisphere. By examining root mean square error, it is found that the GWDC parameterization improves GDAPS forecast skill in the Southern Hemisphere before 7 days and partially in the Northern Hemisphere after about 5 days.

The shape of an airfoil is a critical factor in determining aerodynamic characteristics such as lift and drag. Aerodynamic properties of an airfoil have a decisive impact on the performance of various engineering applications, including airplane wings and wind turbine blades. Therefore, it is essential to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils. Various analytical tools such as experiments, computational fluid dynamics, and Xfoil are used to perform these analyses, but each tool has its limitation. In this study, airfoil parameterization, image recognition, and artificial intelligence are combined to overcome these limitations. Image and coordinate data are collected from the UIUC airfoil database. Airfoil parameterization is performed by recognizing images from image data to build a database for deep learning. Trained model can predict the aerodynamic characteristics not only of airfoil images but also of sketches. The mean absolute error of untrained data is 0.0091.

Background: High-fidelity meteorological data is a prerequisite for the realistic simulation of atmospheric dispersion of radioactive materials near nuclear power plants (NPPs). However, many meteorological models frequently overestimate near-surface wind speeds, failing to represent local meteorological conditions near NPPs. This study presents a new high-resolution (approximately 1 km) meteorological downscaling method for modeling short-range (< 100 km) atmospheric dispersion of accidental NPP plumes. Materials and Methods: Six considerations from literature reviews have been suggested for a new dynamic downscaling method. The dynamic downscaling method is developed based on the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model version 3.6.1, applying high-resolution land-use and topography data. In addition, a new subgrid-scale topographic drag parameterization has been implemented for a realistic representation of the atmospheric surface-layer momentum transfer. Finally, a year-long simulation for the Kori and Wolsong NPPs, located in southeastern coastal areas, has been made for 2016 and evaluated against operational surface meteorological measurements and the NPPs' on-site weather stations. Results and Discussion: The new dynamic downscaling method can represent multiscale atmospheric motions from the synoptic to the boundary-layer scales and produce three-dimensional local meteorological fields near the NPPs with a 1.2 km grid resolution. Comparing the year-long simulation against the measurements showed a salient improvement in simulating near-surface wind fields by reducing the root mean square error of approximately 1 m/s. Furthermore, the improved wind field simulation led to a better agreement in the Eulerian estimate of the local atmospheric dispersion. The new subgrid-scale topographic drag parameterization was essential for improved performance, suggesting the importance of the subgrid-scale momentum interactions in the atmospheric surface layer. Conclusion: A new dynamic downscaling method has been developed to produce high-resolution local meteorological fields around the Kori and Wolsong NPPs, which can be used in short-range atmospheric dispersion modeling near the NPPs.

Wind plays an important role in cases of unexpected radioactive pollutant dispersion, deciding distribution and concentration of the leaked substance. The accurate prediction of wind has been challenging in numerical weather prediction models, especially near the surface because of the complex interaction between turbulent flow and topographic effect. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of atmospheric dispersion of radioactive material (i.e. ¹³⁷Cs) according to the simulated boundary layer around the HANARO research nuclear reactor in Korea using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Mesoscale Model Interface (MMIF)-California Puff (CALPUFF) model system. We examined the impacts of orographic drag on wind field, stability calculation methods, and planetary boundary layer parameterizations on the dispersion of radioactive material under a radioactive leaking scenario. We found that inclusion of the orographic drag effect in the WRF model improved the wind prediction most significantly over the complex terrain area, leading the model system to estimate the radioactive concentration near the reactor more conservatively. We also emphasized the importance of the stability calculation method and employing the skillful boundary layer parameterization to ensure more accurate low atmospheric conditions, in order to simulate more feasible spatial distribution of the radioactive dispersion in leaking scenarios.

In this study, the characteristics of flows around building groups are investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. For this, building groups with different volumetric ratios in a fixed area are considered. As the volumetric ratio of the building group increases, the region affected by the building group is widened. However, the wind-speed reduced area rather decreases with the volumetric ratio near the ground bottom (z ${\lesssim}$ 0.7H, here, H is the height of the building group) and, above 0.7H, it increases. As the volumetric ratio decreases (that is, space between buildings was widened), the size of recirculation region decreases but flow recovery is delayed, resulting in the wider wind-speed reduced area. The increase in the volumetric ratio results in larger drag force on the flow above the roof level, consequently reducing wind speed above the roof level. However, above z ${\gtrsim}$ 1.7H, wind speed increases with the volumetric ratio for satisfying mass conservation, resultantly increasing turbulent kinetic energy there. Inside the building groups, wind speed decreased with the volumetric ratio and averaged wind speed is parameterized in terms of the volumetric ratio and background flow speed. The parameterization method is applied to producing averaged wind speed for 80 urban areas in 7 cities in Korea, showing relatively good performance.

Modeling the effects of high-rise buildings on thermo-dynamic conditions and meteorological fields over a coastal urban area was conducted using the modified meso-urban meteorological model (Urbanized MM5; uMM5) with the urban canopy parameterization (UCP) and the high-resolution inputs (urban morphology, land-use/land-cover sub-grid distribution, and high-quality digital elevation model data sets). Sensitivity simulations was performed during a typical sea-breeze episode (4~8 August 2006). Comparison between simulations with real urban morphology and changed urban morphology (i.e. high-rise buildings to low residential houses) showed that high-rise buildings could play an important role in urban heat island and land-sea breeze circulation. The major changes in urban meteorologic conditions are followings: significant increase in daytime temperature nearly by $1.0^{\circ}C$ due to sensible heat flux emitted from high density residential houses, decrease in nighttime temperature nearly by $1.0^{\circ}C$ because of the reduction in the storage heat flux emitted from high-rise buildings, and large increase in wind speed (maximum 2 m $s^{-1}$) during the daytime due to lessen drag-force or increased gradient temperature over coastal area.

본 연구는 대구 국채보상운동기념 공원 일대를 대상으로 수목이 주변 흐름과 기온에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여, 전산유체역학(computational fluid dynamics, CFD) 모델에 수목의 항력 효과와 냉각 효과를 반영하였고 현장 측정 결과와 비교하였다. 기상 유입 경계 조건은 기상청 국지예보모델(local data assimilation and prediction system, LDAPS) 자료를 사용하였다. 수목 유무에 따른 대기 흐름과 기온 분포를 조사하기 위하여, 수목이 존재하는 현재 상태와 수목이 존재하지 않는다고 가정한 상황에 대하여 수치 실험을 수행하였다. 수목이 없는 경우, 공원 내부에서는 장애물 영향이 작아 강한 풍속과 단조로운 흐름이 형성되었다. 기온은 풍속에 반비례하여 풍속이 강한(약한) 지역에서는 낮게(높게) 모의되었다. 반면, 수목이 존재하는 경우, 수목 항력(냉각) 효과는 식재 밀도가 높은 공원 내부의 풍속(기온)을 40 (5)% 이상 감소시켰고 공원 외부 지역까지 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 공원 내부에는 매우 복잡한 흐름이 형성된다. 도로변 근처에서도 가로수에 의해 풍속과 기온이 전체적으로 감소하지만, 수목에 의한 흐름 패턴 변화로 인해 오히려 풍속과 기온이 증가하는 지역도 발생했다. 수목 냉각 효과에 의한 기온 감소는 주간에는 4-6%였지만, 야간에는 1% 미만으로 미비했다. 수목 항력 효과에 의한 풍속 감소는 주·야간 모두 40% 이상 크게 나타났다.
