We describe here the Korea ocean prediction system that closely resembles operational numerical weather prediction systems. This prediction system will be served for real-time forecasts. The core of the system is a three-dimensional primitive equation numerical circulation model, based on ${\sigma}$-coordinate. Remotely sensed multi-channel sea surface temperature (MCSST) is imposed at the surface. Residual subsurface temperature is assimilated through the relationship between vertical temperature structure function and residual of sea surface height (RSSH) using an optimal interpolation scheme. A unified grid system, named as [K-E-Y], that covers the entire seas around Korea is used. We present and compare hindcasting results during 1990-1999 from a model forced by MCSST without incorporating RSSH data assimilation and the one with both MCSST and RSSH assimilated. The data assimilation is applied only in the East Sea, hence the comparison focuses principally on the mesoscale features prevalent in the East Sea. It is shown that the model with the data assimilation exhibits considerable skill in simulating both the permanent and transient mesoscale features in the East Sea.

In this paper, solute transport in heterogeneous aquifers using a modified Fokker-Planck equation (MFPE) is investigated. This newly developed mathematical model is characterised with a time-, scale-dependent dispersivity. A two-dimensional finite volume quadrilateral mesh method (FVQMM) based on a quadrilateral background interpolation mesh is developed for analysing the model. The FVQMM transforms the coupled non-linear partial differential equations into a system of differential equations, which is solved using backward differentiation formulae of order one through five in order to advance the solution in time. Three examples are presented to demonstrate the model verification and utility. Henry's classic benchmark problem is used to show that the MFPE captures significant features of transport phenomena in heterogeneous porous media including enhanced transport of salt in the upper layer due to its parameters that represent the dependence of transport processes on scale and time. The time and scale effects are investigated. Numerical results are compared with published results on the some problems.

The reactive flowfield of the transverse injecting combustor has been studied using Euler-Lagrange method in order to develop an efficient solution procedure for the understanding of liquid spray combustion in the transverse injecting combustor which has been widely used in ramjets and turbojet afterburners. The unsteady two-dimensional gas-phase equations have been represented in Eulerian coordinates and the liquid-phase equations have been formulated in Lagrangian coordinates. The gas-phase equations based on the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy have been supplemented by combustion. The vaporization model takes into account the transient effects associated with the droplet heating and the liquid-phase internal circulation. The droplet trajectories have been determined by the integration of the Lagrangian equation in the flow field obtained from the separate calculation without considering the iterative effect between liquid and gas phases. The reported droplet trajectories had been found to deviate from the initial conical path toward the flow direction in the very end of its lifetime when the droplet size had become small due to evaporation. The integration scheme has been based on the TEACH algorithm for gas-phase equation, the second order Runge-Kutta method for liquid-phase equations and the linear interpolation between the two coordinate systems. The calculation results has shown that the characteristics of the droplet penetration and recirculation have been strongly influenced by the interaction between gas and liquid phases in such a way that most of the vaporization process has been confined to the wake region of the injector, thereby improving the flame stabilization properties of the flowfield.

In this study, we implemented the pulse transit time (PTT) system to examine usefulness of the monitoring method of distensibility and elasticity using photoplethysmography sensor in vivo. PTT is defined as the time interval between the peak of QRS complex in ECG signal and the maximum slope point of photoplethysmography. these two signals were converted to digital data by means of AID converter, then PTT was evaluated by heartbeat using PC. Results of analysis were displayed as a graph using spline interpolation method. The variance of PTT was measured repetitiously to verify efficiency of PTT system in resting state and hyperemic state. Repeated measurement of PTT was not same value but showed that coefficients of correlation were related with each other as 0.8302 (P<0.01) in resting state. And also repeated measurement of PTT showed significant correlation as 0.868 (P<0.01) in the hyperemic state. These result showed that PTT is reflect on transient pressure variance in the artery and is very useful method for the evaluation of prognosis of the hypertension and arteriosclerosis.

본 연구에서는 지하수 오염 취약성 평가 방법 중 가장 활용도가 높은 DRASTIC 기법 및 지하수 수치모사 기법을 병행하여 충청남도 부여군 부여읍 일대의 지하수 오염 취약성 변화를 평가하였다. 특히, DRASTIC 기법에서 사용되는 7가지 수리인자들 중 취약성에 대한 민감도가 상대적으로 높고 비교적 장기간 자료의 획득이 용이하지 않은 '지하수위(depth to water)' 인자에 대하여 수치모사 기법을 적용하여 시-자료에 대한 동적 보간을 실시하였으며, 이를 통하여 시간에 따른 지하수위 변화가 지하수 오염 취약성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 연구의 대상 지역은 부여군 부여읍 일대로 충적 대수층을 대상으로 기 실시된 지하수 수위자료를 보정대상으로 하였으며 연구지역의 지하수위 분포양상을 모사하기 위하여 유한차분모델인 MODFLOW를 이용하였다. 지하수 수치모사에는 정류 및 부정류 모사가 모두 실시되었다. 그 결과 기존 지구통계기법을 통한 지하수위 보간에서 가장 큰 가중치를 갖는 지형적 요인뿐만 아니라 유역 암상이나 지질특성 등과 같은 제반 수리지질학적 요인까지 복합적으로 반영하는 지하수위 자료를 얻을 수 있었다. 기존 연구에서 수위자료를 보완할 때 주로 이용되는 기법인 크리깅은 수치모사와는 달리 강우나 계절적 영향, 암상이나 지질등과 같은 요인들은 반영하지 못한다. 또한 수치모사를 통하여 얻어진 수위자료는 부정류 모사가 가능함으로 인하여 풍수기와 갈수기 그리고 평수기의 지하수위 변화 등도 파악할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 모사를 통하여 얻어진 지하수위 자료와 공동크리깅 방법을 통해 얻어진 지하수위 자료를 입력자료로 하여 연구지역에 지하수 오염 취약성을 비교 평가한 결과 평수기의 경우 유사한 경향의 지하수 오염 취약성을 보였다. 또한 공동크리깅을 통해 분석이 어려운 분기별 지하수 오염 취약성 평가 결과 강우량이 많은 여름철을 포함한 분기와 강우량이 가장 적은 겨울철을 포함한 분기가 뚜렷한 취약성 차이를 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 바와 같이 지하수 오염 취약성 평가에 있어 가장 큰 민감도를 갖는 수위자료의 수가 공간적 혹은 시간적으로 부족한 경우 수치모사 적용을 통해 자료의 한계성을 보완할 수 있으며 시간적인 보간이 이루어질 수 있어 유용할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
