  • This study is to observe stray currents generated around the steel tower by domestic transmission network system and analysis stability of electric detonator. It is measured the stay current of each ten place at steel tower of 765 kV, 345 tV, 154 tV transmission line among domestic transmission network system. Stay currents measured a total of 40m at intervals of 4m toward a line direction and a line vertical direction centering around steel tower. Temperature of the surface, EC, water content also are measured. Although stay currents show the highest values, that is 12 percent of at 4m and less than 1 percent of 40m with Institute of Makers of Explosives(IME) regulations. It is shown correlation between stay currents and water content$\cdot$EC$\cdot$temperature of the surface. Stay currents measured at line direction and line vertical direction were little different and the shape of diminution was also shown a similar aspect.

  • The problem of electromagnetic scattering from arbitrarily shaped lossy dielectric bodies of revolution is studied. Two coupled vector integral equations are formulated from the potential formulas, the equivalence principle and boundary condition. The unknown surface currents (both electric and magnetic) can be found by the moment method, Galerkins's procedure. After the surface currents are determined, the scattering pattern can be evaluated.

  • In This study develops a quasi-three dimensional numerical model of wave driven coastal currents with accounting the effects of the wave-current interaction and the surface rollers. In the wave model, the current effects on wave breaking and energy dissipation are taken into account as well as the wave diffraction effect. The surface roller associated with wave breaking was modeled based on a modification of the equations by Dally and Brown (1995) and Larson and Kraus (2002). Furthermore, the quasi-three dimensional model, which based on Navier-Stokes equations, was modified in association with the surface roller effect, and solved using frictional step method. The model was validated by data sets obtained during experiments on the Large Scale Sediment Transport Facility (LSTF) basin and the Hazaki Oceanographical Research Station (HORS). Then, a model test against detached breakwater was carried out to investigate the performance of the model around coastal structures. Finally, the model was applied to Akasaki port to verify the hydrodynamics around coastal structures. Good agreements between computations and measurements were obtained with regard to the cross-shore variation in waves and currents in nearshore and surf zone.

  • A simulation is applied to evaluate sea surface observations such as wave heights and surface currents by using a microwave Doppler radar. It is reported that the microwave irradiation width on the sea surface and Fourier transform time taken to sample data for frequency analysis affect Doppler spectra. To investigate the influences by these parameters, Doppler spectra are simulated with various numerical sea surface waves with currents. From the results, in the case of the microwave irradiation width is five times smaller than the wavelength of the sea surface wave, and the Fourier transform time is also five times shorter than the period of the sea surface wave, there is a possibility to measure wave heights accurately with a Doppler radar. In addition, relative surface currents can be estimated by analysis of long Fourier transform time. The simulation results showed the appropriate observing conditions with a microwave Doppler radar.

  • Sea surface currents were estimated by applying the Maximum Cross Correlation (MCC), Zero-mean Sum of Absolute Distances (ZSAD), and Zero-mean Sum of Squared Distances (ZSSD) algorithms to Himawari-8/Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) thermal infrared channel data, and the comparative analysis was performed between the results of these algorithms. The sea surface currents of the Kuroshio Current region that were retrieved using each algorithm showed similar results. The ratio of errors to the total number of estimated surface current vectors had little difference according to the algorithms, and the time required for sea surface current calculation was reduced by 24% and 18%, relative to the MCC algorithm, for the ZSAD and ZSSD algorithms, respectively. The estimated surface currents were validated against those from satellite-tracked surface drifter and altimeter data, and the accuracy evaluation of these algorithms showed results within similar ranges. In addition, the accuracy was affected by the magnitude of brightness temperature gradients and the time interval between satellite image data.

  • Ocean currents estimated from sea height anomalies derived from inter-calibrated TP/ERS are compared with daily mean currents measured with satellite-tracked drifters. The correlation coefficient between the geostrophic current from TP/ERS and surface current at 15 m depth from drifter tracks was found to be about 0.5. Due to the limitation of satellite ground tracks, small scale eddies less than 80 km are poorly resolved from TP/ERS. One of the interesting results of this study is that coastal currents along the eastern coast of Korea were well reproduced from sea height anomalies when the coastal currents were developed in association with eddies near the South Korean coast. The eddy kinetic energy (EKE) estimated from drifters, TP/ERS, and a numerical model are also compared. The EKE estimated from drifters was about 22 % higher than EKE calculated from TP/ERS. The pattern of low EKE level in the northern basin and high EKE level in the southern East Sea is shown in the EKE estimates derived from both the drifters and TP/ERS.

  • A simple analytical model is considered in an attempt to demonstrate a formation mechanism of the abyssal current in the East Sea. In this model, the abyssal currents are driven by wind through an outcrop region and flow along closed geostrophic contours. A rough estimate of the abyssal currents, arrived at by applying this model to the region of deep mixing in the East Sea, gives currents comparable to those observed, although there is an uncertainty in the surface area of the outcrop region. It seems that the spin-up of deep water by wind forcing through the region of deep winter mixing is, at least partly, an important contribution to the formation of the abyssal currents in the East Sea.

  • To investigate the current structures and diffusion characteristics in Youngil Bay, a systematic field observations of current velocity, drogue tracking, dye diffusion experiment and aerial photographing were performed. The flow patterns in the surface layer of the bay depend more strongly on the wind and ocean current than the tidal current, and the patterns in the middle are predominated by the ocean current. The residual currents in the surface generally flow toward the inner bay through the western and central areas of the bay, and then the currents go toward the ocean along the eastern shore of the bay with anti-clock-wise circulation. The residual currents in the surface of the eastern cease are not nearly influenced by the wind, and the currents always move northward to northeastward. However, the currents in the western shore depend strongly on the wind and the outflow of the Huntsman River, that is, the residual currents go northward to northeastward when the southerly to westerly winds blow or a large amount of flow from the river discharge. The residual currents in the middle layer flow toward the inner bay along the western shore of the bay, and the incomed currents go out to the ocean along the eastern shore with anticlockwise circulation. The diffusion of dye patch by the instantaneous point source shows a similar pattern to the drogue trajectory, and the apparent diffusion coefficients of the dye patch by Fick's theory is 1.14${\times}$10$^4$ cm$^2$/s. The behavior of the river discharges in flood shows a band type's effluent pattern toward the outer bay along the western coast.

  • Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) Silicone Rubber has been widely used to coat porcelain insulator to prevent formation water filming on insulator surface. and RTV silicone rubber has water repellency to suppress leakage current and consequent flashover. RTV silicone rubber's surface has been degradated by outdoor condition such as dust, salt, and water. etc. ESDD(Equivalent Salt Deposit Density) and leakage currents are increased by polymer surface toughness and degradation. In this paper, we investigated relations of surface toughness, ESDD, and leakage currents.
