In this study, the freezing process of L-shaped pipe exposed to the outside was investigated numerically by considering the mushy zone of freezing water. From the numerical results, it was found that the flow was outwardly directed due to the influence of the L-shaped bending part in the outside exposed part of the pipe, and the ice was formed in the shape of longitudinal corrugation on the wall surface of the pipe after the bending part. It is confirmed that this phenomenon is caused by the venturi effect due to the freezing as seen in connection with the velocity distribution in the pipe. It is found that the remelting phenomenon at the end of the freezing section occur simultaneously during the process of forming the ice in the pipe section. In regard of the factors affecting freezing, it was found that the thickness of the freezing layer is increased as the exposed pipe surface temperature is decreased, and the pipe surface temperature had a significant effect on the change of the freezing layer thickness. At the same time, it was found that the freezing layer becomes relatively thin when the water inflow rate is increased. This phenomenon was caused by reducing the exposure time of freezing water due to the vigorous flow convection of the water fluid.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of freezing rate on ice crystal size and freeze-drying rate. Our experiments were carried out with self-manufactured freeze-dryer. Gelatin gels (2% w / w, 80$\times$20mm) were frozen unidirectionally (Neumann's model) from the bottom at -45, -30, -20, and -15$^{\circ}C$ and followed with freeze-drying. Under the upper conditions we measured freezing rate and the change of temperature and pressure during freeze drying. Freeze-dried gelatins were cut horizontally into 5 mm thickness from the bottom and measured their pore sizes. Also freeze-drying rate(primary drying) is estimated by measuring the temperature of sample and pressure of vacuum chamber. During freeze-drying, profiles of pressure and temperature were shown constant tendency regardless of freezing temperature and we could expect the end-point of freeze drying by considering pressure and temperature together. In temperature profiles, the point which temperature increased significantly was observed during freeze-drying. There is no relationship between freeze temperature and drying rate of primary drying in our model system. As freezing temperature increased, ice crystal size(X*) which correspond to 63.2% of cumulative frequency was increased and at the same freezing temperature ice crystal size(X*) was decreased with distance from the bottom of the sample. Freezing conditions have a strong influence on the quality of the final freeze-dried products in freeze-drying system.

For the purpose of understanding the cloud scattering effect of UV radiation at King Sejong station In West Antarctica, we analyzed the data measured by UV-Biometer at surface and compared its result with solar radiation model. The parameterization of UV radiation by cloud ice crystal was applied to solar radiation model and the sensitivity of this model for the variation of ice crystal was tested. The cloud optical thickness was calculated by using this solar radiation model. It was compared the result from calculation with CERES satellite data. In solar radiation model, the UV radiation was less scattered with increase of ice crystal size in cloud and this scattering effect was more important to UV-A radiation than Erythemal UV-B radiation. But scattering effects by altitude of cloud was not serious. The calculated cloud optical thicknesses in Erythemal UV-B and UV-A region were compared with CERES satellite data and the result by UV-A was more accurate than Erythemal UV-B region.

Effects of $SiO_x$ or C shells on electrochemical properties of Si nanoparticles were investigated. $SiO_x$ shells with thickness of 10~15 nm were formed on homogeneously crystalline Si nanoparticles. Incase of Si-C nanoparticles, there were 30~40 layers of C with a number of defects. Li-ion batteries were fabricated with the above-mentioned nanoparticles, and their electrochemical properties were measured. Pristine Si shows a high IRC (initial reversible capacity) of 2,517 mAh/g and ICE (initial columbic efficiency) of 87%, but low capacity retention of 22%, respectively. $SiO_x$ shells decreased IRC (1,534 mAh/g) and ICE (54%), while the retention increased up to 65%, which can be explained by irreversible phases such as $LiO_2$ and $Li_2SiO_3$. C shells exhibited no differences in IRC and ICE compared to the pristine Si but an enhanced retention of 54%, which might be from proper defect structures.

This paper presents the survivability, mobility, and functionality of a rover as part of a radar system for polar regions. Rovers can provide autonomy and precision for radars used to measure ice thickness and other characteristics of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. These rovers can be used to move radar antennas in precise patterns for synthetic aperture radars while providing environmental protection and power to the onboard radar equipment. This paper describes the mobility, actuation, sensing, winterization, control, and virtual prototyping of a polar rover. The rover has been successfully tested in Greenland.

In Korea, the temperature of winter seasons are really severe and cause lot's of snow-falling and iceing in the pavements. Several de-iceing mehtod have generally been adopted to melt the ice on the surface of pavement. Therefore, the Study of experimental in the first stage was given to the verification of the icers's effects. First, Contrete and asphalt pavement specimens were made and scattered with a CaC2-deicers. then 3cm and 5cm thickness of artificial snow were prepared on the surface of specimens. It reveals that the early calorification due to de- icers as high as the temperature of laboratory increases within about 10 minutes and last for more then 2 hours and the test of ice-formation on the surface of contrete and asphalt specimen due to snow leads to the similar rate of freezing time about 20 minutes. Second, three kinds of de-icers, such as CaC2 CaC2+Nacl, Cacl Flaket are rested in the snowy highway to check the iceing-resistance. The CaC2 is proved to be the most effective de-icers so far.

Radiative transfer modeling of ice clouds is developed. Ice clouds located near tropopause reflect most of sunlight, thus atmospheric and surface effects can be minimized. Cloud properties such as cloud optical thickness (COT) and effective radius are important parameters to determine the magnitude of reflectance, while atmospheric and surface parameters rarely affect reflectance value. For selected homogeneous cloud pixels of MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observation, reflectances are calculated using MODIS cloud products as inputs of radiative transfer model (RTM). For three types of phase function (Henyey-Greenstein, Garcia-Siewert, Baum) calculated reflectances are compared with observations for validation. All cases show linear relationship between simulated values and measured values, however each represent different bias and slope. The result shows that phase function determine angular distribution of reflectance.

In this study, the process of freezing around two consecutively arranged channel tubes used for evaporator heat exchange was numerically investigated. Numerical results confirmed that the vortex occurred between the front channel and the rear channel and also that the vortex occurred due to the rapid change of the channel at the rear of the rear channel. These vortices were found to play a role in reducing the ice layer to some extent by the growth of the ice layer at the front and rear of the channel tube. The freezing layer showed a tendency to gradually increase as it passed through the channel pipe. As the wall temperature in the channel pipe decreased, the thickness of the freezing layer increased. As the flow rate of water slowed, the thickness of the freezing layer became thicker. In particular, in the case of a slow flow rate of 0.03 m/s, the freezing layers of the front channel pipe and the rear channel pipe were connected to each other. The narrower the channel, the thinner the freezing layer was in both the front and rear channel tubes. It is found that these thin freezing layers are caused by the low thickness of the temperature boundary layer formed around the channel tube.

지반접지선은 남극 빙하 및 빙붕의 취약성을 나타내는 가장 핵심적인 척도로 물질균형의 증거로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 SAR와 레이더 고도계 위성을 이용하여 빙하와 빙붕의 고해상도 수치고도모델을 제작하고, 이를 이용하여 동남극의 Campbell 빙하의 지반접지선의 위치를 추정하고 시공간적 변화를 관찰하였다. 2013년 6월 21일과 2016년 9월 10일에 획득된 TanDEM-X 와 TerraSAR-X 자료와 촬영날짜 대비 15일 이내의 CryoSat-2 레이더 고도계 자료의 조합을 이용하여 고해상도 수치고도모델을 제작 후 지반접지선을 추정하였으나 3년 동안 큰 변화를 관찰하지 못하였다. 지반접지선 추정 시 사용된 얼음의 평균 밀도는 정확하게 알려져 있기 않기 때문에 얼음의 밀도를 변화시킨 지반접지선의 변화를 분석하였다. DDInSAR로 추정된 지반접지선과는 공간적으로 큰 차이가 있었지만 광학위성의 표면 특징을 이용하여 추정된 지반접지선과는 얼음의 밀도가 약 $880kg/m^3$일 때 가장 유사하였다. 본 연구는 해저지형의 수직적 정확도에 따라서 결과의 신뢰도가 변할 수 있지만 얼음의 지반접지선 지역의 유체정역학적 얼음 두께가 더욱 큰 영향을 끼칠 것으로 고려되며 동일한 오차를 포함한 두 시기의 지반접지선을 비교하였기 때문에 상대적 변화는 의미가 있다고 고려된다.

A frozen fringe plays a key role in frost heave development in soils. Previous studies have focused on the physical and mechanical properties of the frozen fringe, such as overall hydraulic conductivity, water content and pore pressure. It has been proposed that the thickness of the frozen fringe controls frost heave behavior, but this effect has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study used a temperature-controllable cell to investigate the impact of frozen fringe thickness on the characteristics of frost heave. A series of laboratory tests was performed with various temperature boundary conditions and specimen heights, revealing that: (1) the amount and rate of development of frost heave are dependent on the frozen fringe thickness; (2) the thicker the frozen fringe, the thinner the resulting ice lens; and (3) care must be taken when using the frost heave ratio to characterize frost heave and evaluate frost susceptibility because the frost heave ratio is not a normalized factor but a specimen height-dependent factor.
