The flow characteristics of a NACA0012 airfoil was investigated in rectangular water circulating channel. The flow patterns around an airfoil at various angles of attack between $0^{\circ}\;and\;30^{\circ}\;at\;Re=1.91{\times}104$ were visualized and measured with 2-D PIV system and laser sheet illumination. Flow behaviors such as velocity distribution, kinetic energy and flow separation etc. around an airfoil were obtained by means of 2-D PIV system. The behaviors show the difference of flow pattern clearly and separation phenomena become more active with increasing angle of attack.

We consider the use of error control coding in direct sequence-code-division multiple access (OS-COMA) systems that employ multiuser detection (MUO) and space diversity. The relative performance gain between Reed-Solomon (RS) code and convolutional code (CC) is well known in [1] for the single user, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. In this case, RS codes outperform CC's at high signal-to-noise ratios. We find that this is not the case for the multiuser interference channel mentioned above. For useful error rates, we find that soft-decision CC's to be uniformly better than RS codes when used with DS-COMA modulation in multiuser space-time channels. In our development, we use the Gaussian approximation on the interference to determine performance error bounds for systems with low number of users. Then, we check their accuracy in error rate estimation via system's simulation. These performance bounds will in turn allow us to consider a large number of users where we can estimate the gain in user-capacity due to channel coding. Lastly, the use of turbo codes is considered where it is shown that they offer a coding gain of 2.5 dB relative to soft-decision CC.

Since the coupling of cavitation modeling with turbulent flow is the difficulty topic, a numerical simulation for two phase flow remains as one of the challenging issues in the society. This research focuses on the development of numerical code to deal with incompressible two phase flow around conical body combined with cavitation model suggested by Kunz et al. with k-e turbulent model. The simulation results are compared to experimental data to verify the validity of the developed code. The calculation results show very good agreement with experimental observations. Also, the calculation of cavitation in cryogenic fluid is being done by implementing the temperature sensitivity in government equations and it is still in the progress. This code have been being further extended to 3D compressible two phase flow for the study on the fluid dynamics around inducers and impellers in turbo pump system.

본 논문에서는 SOVA(Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm)를 이용한 터보 복호기의 최적화된 설계를 위하여 두 가지 방법을 적용하고 검증하였다. 첫 번째 방법은 생존 경로를 찾기 위한 역추적9trace back) 회로와 2단 SOVA의 가중치 인자(weighting factor)를 찾기 위한 2단 역추적 회로를 동시에 적용시키는 것이다. 이 방법을 적용할 경우 두 단계의 기능을 동시에 수행하도록 하여 레지스터 교환 방식 혹은 역추적 회로만을 적용한 SOVA 디코더보다 속도와 면적의 효율성을 높일 수 있다. 두 번째 방법은 비례 축소 인자만을 적용한 SOVA 디코더보다 속도와 면적의 효율성을 높일 수 있다. 두 번째 방법은 비례 축소 인자(scalling factor)를 적용하여 디코더의 수행 시 발생된 왜곡을 보상하는 것이다. 이 방법을 부호율 1/3, 256 비트의 프레임 사이즈를 가지는 8-state SOVA 디코더에 적용하여 0.25에서 0.33사이의 비례 축소 인자 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 이에 따라 10E-4의 BER(에러율)에서 비례 축소인자가 없는 시스템에 비해 2dB의 SNR(신호 대 잡음비) 성능 향상이 있었다. 이렇게 제시된 방법을 바탕으로 Xillinx XCV 1000E FPGA를 이용하여 검증한 결과 256비트 프레임 사이즈의 경우 최대 33.6MHz 주파수에서 동작하였으며, 845 클럭의 지연속도를 가지고 175K개의 케이트 수를 가지는 단일 칩으로 동작을 검증하였다.

터보부호는 일반적으로 인터리버의 크기가 클수록 성능이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있는데 이동통신 시스템 등에서 음성 신호를 전송하는 경우 프레임의 크기 즉, 인터리버의 크기가 너무 작아서 성능의 저하가 생기게 되는 것은 당연한 원리이다. 본 논문에서는 터보부호의 복호시 3개의 직렬 MAP복호기를 제안하여 기존의 방식보다 메모리 수는 감소시키면서 음성의 기준인 S/N 2.0[dB]에서 BER $10^{-3}$의 성능을 제안한 알고리즘을 통해 살펴본다. 모의실험결과, 부호율 1/3 , 반복복호의 수 5, 생성부흐 다항식 G=(7, 5)일 때 IS-95[9]에서 사용되고 있는 프레임과 같은 크기의 인터리버인 프레임 24인 경우 $10^{-2}$, 프레임 192인 경우 $10^{-3}$ 정도 값을 얻었다.

Purpose: To analyze the feasibility of three-dimensional (3D) diffusion-weighted (DW) PSIF (reversed FISP [fast imaging with steady-state free precession]) sequence in order to evaluate peripheral nerves in the elbow. Materials and Methods: Ten normal, asymptomatic volunteers were enrolled (6 men, 4 women, mean age 27.9 years). The following sequences of magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the elbow were obtained using a 3.0-T machine: 3D DW PSIF, 3D T2 SPACE (sampling perfection with application optimized contrasts using different flip angle evolution) with SPAIR (spectral adiabatic inversion recovery) and 2D T2 TSE (turbo spin echo) with modified Dixon (m-Dixon) sequence. Two observers used a 5-point grading system to analyze the image quality of the ulnar, median, and radial nerves. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of each nerve were measured. We compared 3D DW PSIF images with other sequences using the Wilcoxon-signed rank test and Friedman test. Inter-observer agreement was measured using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analysis. Results: The mean 5-point scores of radial, median, and ulnar nerves in 3D DW PSIF (3.9/4.2/4.5, respectively) were higher than those in 3D T2 SPACE SPAIR (1.9/2.8/2.8) and 2D T2 TSE m-Dixon (1.7/2.8/2.9) sequences (P < 0.05). The mean SNR in 3D DW PSIF was lower than 3D T2 SPACE SPAIR, but there was no difference between 3D DW PSIF and 2D T2 TSE m-Dixon in all of the three nerves. The mean CNR in 3D DW PSIF was lower than 3D T2 SPACE SPAIR and 2D T2 TSE m-Dixon in the median and ulnar nerves, but no difference among the three sequences in the radial nerve. Conclusion: The three-dimensional DW PSIF sequence may be feasible to evaluate the peripheral nerves around the elbow in MR imaging. However, further optimization of the image quality (SNR, CNR) is required.

Purpose: To develop a 3D magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) method for application in high resolution knee cartilage PD, T₁, T₂ mapping. Materials and Methods: A novel 3D acquisition trajectory with golden-angle rotating radial in k_xy direction and interleaved echo planar imaging (EPI) acquisition in the k_z direction was implemented in the MRF framework. A centric order was applied to the interleaved EPI acquisition to reduce Nyquist ghosting artifact due to field inhomogeneity. For the reconstruction, singular value decomposition (SVD) compression method was used to accelerate reconstruction time and conjugate gradient sensitivity-encoding (CG-SENSE) was performed to overcome low SNR of the high resolution data. Phantom experiments were performed to verify the proposed method. In vivo experiments were performed on 6 healthy volunteers and 2 early osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Results: In the phantom experiments, the T₁ and T₂ values of the proposed method were in good agreement with the spin-echo references. The results from the in vivo scans showed high quality proton density (PD), T₁, T₂ map with EPI echo train length (N_ETL = 4), acceleration factor in through plane (R_z = 5), and number of radial spokes (N_spk = 4). In patients, high T₂ values (50-60 ms) were seen in all transverse, sagittal, and coronal views and the damaged cartilage regions were in agreement with the hyper-intensity regions shown on conventional turbo spin-echo (TSE) images. Conclusion: The proposed 3D MRF method can acquire high resolution (0.5 mm³) quantitative maps in practical scan time (~ 7 min and 10 sec) with full coverage of the knee (FOV: 160 × 160 × 120 mm³).

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) 방식은 전통적인 단일 반송파 전송방식과는 달리 전송할 데이터를 병렬적으로 변조하여 주어진 다중전송채널에 다수의 반송파를 실어 보내므로 고속의 데이터전송을 수행하고 주파수를 직교적으로 오버랩시킴으로써 높은 스펙트럼 효율을 제공할 수 있어 LAN 및 WAN의 멀티미디어 분야에서 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해서 변조방식에 따른 Coded-OFDM 무선통신시스템의 성능을 평가하였으며 코딩은 터보 코드를 사용하였고 변조방식으로서는 M-PSK나, M-QAM사용하였다. 시뮬레이션은 다중로 지연 확산, 가우시안채널잡음, Peak Power Clipping 등이 포함된 가상의 채널환경과 실제 채널환경에서 적용되었다. 시뮬레이tus 결과 3dB가량의 부호화 이득을 얻었고 Coded-OFDM 시스템에서의 변조방식으로는 M-QAM방식이 M-PSK방식보다 우수함을 확인하였다.
