Superconducting Gravimeters (SG) are the most sensitive instruments for measuring temporal gravity variations. The gravimeter is an integrating sensor therefore the gravity variations caused by different sources must be separated for studying a special effect by applying different models and data analysis methods. The present reduction methods for gravity variations induced by atmosphere and hydrosphere including the ocean and the detection and determination of the most surface gravity effects are shown. Some examples demonstrate the combination of ground (SG) and space techniques especially the combination of SG with GRACE satellite derived temporal gravity variations. Resulting from the performance of the SG and the applied data analysis methods some proposals are made for future SG applications.

Numerical analysis of bubble motion during nucleate boiling is performed by imposing a constant heat flux condition at the base of a heater which occurs in most of boiling experiments. The temporal and spatial variation of a solid surface temperature associated with the bubble growth and departure is investigated by solving a conjugate problem involving conduction in the solid. The vapor-liquid interface is tracked by a level set method which is modified to include the effects of phase change at the interface, contact angle at the wall and evaporative heat flux in a thin liquid micro-layer. Based on the numerical results, the bubble growth pattern and its interaction with the heating solid are discussed. Also, the effect of heating condition on the bubble growth under a micro-gravity condition is investigated.

The temporal and spatial distributions of soot volume fractions were measured for single toluene droplet flames as a function of pressure under the normal-gravity condition. In order to characterize the transient nature of the flame and sooting regions, a full-field light extinction and subsequent tomographic inversion technique was used. The reduction in sooting as a function of pressure was assessed by comparison of the maximum soot volume fractions at several vertical positions along the axis above the droplet. The maximum soot volume fraction was reduced by 70% when the pressure was reduced by 60% from 1 atm to 0.4 atm. The reduction in sooting is attributed to variation of the geometric configuration of flame which reduces the system Grashof number as well as only the change in the adiabatic flame temperature as the pressure decreases. The gravimetrically-measured total soot yield was also compared to the optically-measured soot volume fraction to obtain a correlation between the two measurements. As a result, the total soot yield was linearly proportional to the optically-measured maximum soot volume fraction and linearly reduced as the pressure decreased. Accordingly, the non-intrusive full-field light extinction-measurements were able to be calibrated not only to measure soot volume fraction, but to simultaneously evaluate the total soot yield emitted from the toluene droplet flame (which is useful in the practical application).

This paper presents the study of the effects of rigid-body motion simultaneously with the presence of the effects of temporal variation due to the existence of morphing speed on the aeroelastic stability of the two-stage telescopic wings, and hence this is the main novelty of this study. To this aim, Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is used to model the bending-torsional dynamics of the wing. The aerodynamic loads on the wing in an incompressible flow regime are determined by using Peters' unsteady aerodynamic model. The governing aeroelastic equations are discretized employing a finite element method based on the beam-rod model. The effects of rigid-body motion on the length-based stability of the wing are determined by checking the eigenvalues of system. The obtained results are compared with those available in the literature, and a good agreement is observed. Furthermore, the effects of different parameters of rigid-body such as the mass, radius of gyration, fuselage center of gravity distance from wing elastic axis on the aeroelastic stability are discussed. It is found that some parameters can cause unpredictable changes in the critical length and frequency. Also, paying attention to the fuselage parameters and how they affect stability is very important and will play a significant role in the design.

The study of pores, small penumbraless sunspots, can give us a chance to understand how strong magnetic fields interact with convective motions in the photosphere. For a better understanding of this interaction, we investigate the temporal variation of several tiny pores smaller than 2". These pores were observed by the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) onboard Hinode on 2006 December 29. We have analyzed the high resolution spectropolarimetric (SP) data and the G-band filtergrams taken during the observation. Magnetic flux density and Doppler velocities of the pores are estimated by applying the center of gravity (COG) method to the SP data. The horizontal motions in and around the pores are tracked by adopting the Nonlinear Affine Velocity Estimator (NAVE) method to the G-band filter images. As results, we found the followings. (1) Darkness of pores is positively correlated with magnetic flux density. (2) Downflows always exist inside and around the pores. (3) The speed of downflows inside the pores is negatively correlated with their darkness. (4) The pores are surrounded by strong downflows. (5) Brightness changes of the pores are correlated with the divergence of mass flow (correlation coefficient > 0.9). (6) The pores in the growing phase are associated with the converging flow pattern and the pores in the decay phase with the diverging flow pattern. Our results support the idea that a pore grows as magnetic flux density increases due to the convergence of ambient mass flow and it decays with the decrease of the flux density due to the diverging mass flow.

지역에 최적화된 스레피안 구면함수(spherical Slepian function)를 활용하여 남극을 중심으로 반경 $20^{\circ}$ 범위의 지역에 지각 자기이상의 3개의 방향 성분과 6개의 구배성분들을 표현하였다. 2013년 11월 유럽 항공 우주국이 발사한 3개의 자력 위성인 Swarm은 궤도 전개를 통해 동서 방향의 구배값은 물론 남북 및 수직방향의 구배값을 얻을 수 있도록 계획하였다. 이미 발사된 여러 중력위성들(i.e., GRACE and GOCE) 역시 이러한 구배값을 활용하여 보다 정확한 중력 이상값 및 지표에서의 시간에 따른 중력변화 연구등을 수행해 왔으나 자력 위성자료를 통해서는 많은 연구들이 이루어지고 있지 않는 상태이다. 한편 지역화 모델링은 관심 지역 또는 자료 분포의 제한인 지역인 경우에 활용될 수 있다. 또한 전지구 모델보다 효율적인 연산이 가능하여 위성자료로부터 고해상도의 지각 자기이상값을 표현할 수 있다는 장점을 지니고 있다. 또한 기존의 전지구 구면조화함수의 선형 결합으로 이루어진 기저함수들은 서로 직교성(orthogonality)이 유지되므로 스레피안 구면함수의 계수를 전지구 구면조화함수의 계수로 변환이 가능하여 스펙트럼 분석에 활용할 수 있다. 따라서 Swarm 위성자료의 구배 성분을 이용한 지역화 모델링 방법은 앞으로 많은 활용이 기대되며 여기서는 Swarm 위성자료로부터 얻어진 지각 자기이상값의 전지구 조화함수 계수 모델을 사용하여 자기이상의 방향성분과 구배성분을 유도하고 이를 스레피안 구면 조화함수에 적용하여 관심지역인 남극지역의 방향 성분과 구배 성분을 표현하고 이에 대한 결과를 토의 하고자 한다.
