시각 체계는 장면을 지각할 때 주어진 감각 정보에만 의존하지 않는다. 맥락정보를 적극 활용함으로써 주변 환경과의 시공간적 연속선상에서 장면을 파악한다. 그러나 부족한 감각정보를 맥락 정보로 채워 넣는 과정에서 실제 본 장면보다 더 넓은 영역을 봤다고 잘못 기억하는 경우가 있는데, 이를 테두리 확장(boundary extension) 효과라고 한다[1]. 본 연구는 상하반전(inversion)의 효과를 통해 테두리 확장 현상에 관한 가설들을 검증하였다. 상하반전된 장면에서 맥락 정보를 추출하기 어렵다는 기존 연구 결과들에 근거하여 학습 단계 또는 검사 단계에서 장면 사진을 거꾸로 제시하였다. 세 가지 실험의 결과, 테두리 확장 효과는 장면이 학습 단계에서 상하반전 되었을 때 감소하였는데, 장면을 구성하는 물체의 방향성이 분명할수록 더 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 적절한 맥락이 활성화됨으로써 장면이 외연될 수 있다는 것과 테두리 확장 효과가 장면이 기억으로 부호화되는 과정에서 발생한다는 것을 시사한다.

By using numerical simulation, vast and detailed information and observation of the physics of flow over a train model can be obtained. However, the accuracy of the numerical results is questionable as it is affected by grid convergence error. This paper describes a systematic method of computational grid refinement for the Unsteady Reynolds Navier-Stokes (URANS) of flow around a generic model of trains using the OpenFOAM software. The sensitivity of the computed flow field on different mesh resolutions is investigated in this paper. This involves solutions on three different grid refinements, namely fine, medium, and coarse grids to investigate the effect of grid dependency. The level of grid independence is evaluated using a form of Richardson extrapolation and Grid Convergence Index (GCI). This is done by comparing the GCI results of various parameters between different levels of mesh resolutions. In this study, monotonic convergence criteria were achieved, indicating that the grid convergence error was progressively reduced. The fine grid resolution's GCI value was less than 1%. The results from a simulation of the finest grid resolution, which includes pressure coefficient, drag coefficient and flow visualization, are presented and compared to previous available data.

A parametric study of a 2.5 kW class propeller type micro hydraulic turbine was performed. In order to analyze the internal flow characteristics in the hydraulic turbine, three dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model were used and the hexahedral grid system was used to construct computational domain. To secure the reliability of the numerical analysis, the grid dependency test was performed using the grid convergence index method based on the Richardson extrapolation, and the grid dependency was removed when about 1.7 million nodes were used. For the parametric study, the axial distance at shroud span (L) between the inlet guide vane and the runner, and the inlet and outlet blade angles (β₁, β₂) of the runner were selected as the geometric parameters. The inlet and outlet angles of the runner were defined in the 3 spans from the hub to tip, and a total of 7 geometric parameters were investigated. It was confirmed that the outlet angles of the runner had the most sensitive effect on the power and efficiency of the micro hydraulic turbine.
