In this work a multi-fidelity non-intrusive polynomial chaos (MF-NIPC) has been applied to a structural wind engineering problem in architectural design for the first time. In architectural design it is important to design structures that are safe in a range of wind directions and speeds. For this reason, the computational models used to design buildings and bridges must account for the uncertainties associated with the interaction between the structure and wind. In order to use the numerical simulations for the design, the numerical models must be validated by experi-mental data, and uncertainties contained in the experiments should also be taken into account. Uncertainty Quantifi-cation has been increasingly used for CFD simulations to consider such uncertainties. Typically, CFD simulations are computationally expensive, motivating the increased interest in multi-fidelity methods due to their ability to lev-erage limited data sets of high-fidelity data with evaluations of more computationally inexpensive models. Previous-ly, the multi-fidelity framework has been applied to CFD simulations for the purposes of optimization, rather than for the statistical assessment of candidate design. In this paper MF-NIPC method is applied to flow around a rectan-gular 5:1 cylinder, which has been thoroughly investigated for architectural design. The purpose of UQ is validation of numerical simulation results with experimental data, therefore the radius of curvature of the rectangular cylinder corners and the angle of attack are considered to be random variables, which are known to contain uncertainties when wind tunnel tests are carried out. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are solved by a solver that employs the Finite Element Method (FEM) for two turbulence modeling approaches of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations: Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (URANS) and the Large Eddy simulation (LES). The results of the uncertainty analysis with CFD are compared to experimental data in terms of time-averaged pressure coefficients and bulk parameters. In addition, the accuracy and efficiency of the multi-fidelity framework is demonstrated through a comparison with the results of the high-fidelity model.

본 연구에서는 수치모의를 통하여 전단면 식생 수로에서 와도의 생성을 분석하였다. 지배방정식에서 난류 폐합을 위해 레이놀즈응력모형을 이용하였다. 거친 하상-매끄러운 측벽 및 매끄러운 하상-거친 측벽을 갖는 개수로 흐름을 수치모의하여 서로 다른 형태의 이차흐름 구조가 형성되는 것을 확인하였다. 즉, 거친 하상 조건에서는 자유수면 이차흐름의 규모가 감소되고, 거친 측벽 조건에서는 자유수면 이차흐름의 구조가 더 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전단면 식생 수로를 수치모의하여 수심 크기의 바닥 이차흐름이 형성되고, 식생 밀도가 증가함에 따라 자유수면 이차흐름이 점차 사라지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 이차흐름 생성에 중요한 역할을 하는 난류의 비등방성 및 레이놀즈응력 분포를 식생밀도에 따라 살펴보았다. 한편, 와도 방정식을 분석한 결과, 비식생 수로의 경우 벽 및 수면 경계 근처에서는 난류 비등방성에 의한 생성항이, 경계와 떨어진 곳에서는 레이놀즈응력에 의한 생성항이 와도 생성에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 식생 수로에서는 이러한 특성이 사라지는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 비식생 수로에서는 바닥과 수면에서의 와도 생성이 강하게 발생되지만, 식생 수로에서는 바닥과 식생 높이에서 와도 생성이 크게 발생되는 것으로 나타났다.

As the utilization of information technology and the turbulence of technological change increase in organizations, the adoption of IT outsourcing also grows to manage IT resource more effectively and efficiently. In this new way of IT management technique, service level management(SLM) process becomes critical to derive success from the outsourcing in the view of end users in organization. Even though much of the research on service level management or agreement have been done during last decades, the performance of the service level management process have not been evaluated in terms of final objectives of the management efforts or success from the view of end-users. This study explores the relationship between SLM maturity and IT outsourcing success from the users' point of view by a analytical case study in four client organizations under an IT outsourcing vendor, which is a member company of a major Korean conglomerate. For setting up a model for the analysis, previous researches on service level management process maturity and information systems success are reviewed. In particular, information systems success from users' point of view are reviewed based the DeLone and McLean's study, which is argued and accepted as a comprehensively tested model of information systems success currently. The model proposed in this study argues that SLM process maturity influences information systems success, which is evaluated in terms of information quality, systems quality, service quality, and net effect proposed by DeLone and McLean. SLM process maturity can be measured in planning process, implementation process and operation and evaluation process. Instruments for measuring the factors in the proposed constructs of information systems success and SL management process maturity were collected from previous researches and evaluated for securing reliability and validity, utilizing appropriate statistical methods and pilot tests before exploring the case study. Four cases from four different companies under one vendor company were utilized for the analysis. All of the cases had been contracted in SLA(Service Level Agreement) and had implemented ITIL(IT Infrastructure Library), Six Sigma and BSC(Balanced Scored Card) methods since last several years, which means that all the client organizations pursued concerted efforts to acquire quality services from IT outsourcing from the organization and users' point of view. For comparing the differences among the four organizations in IT out-sourcing sucess, T-test and non-parametric analysis have been applied on the data set collected from the organization using survey instruments. The process maturities of planning and implementation phases of SLM are found not to influence on any dimensions of information systems success from users' point of view. It was found that the SLM maturity in the phase of operations and evaluation could influence systems quality only from users' view. This result seems to be quite against the arguments in IT outsourcing practices in the fields, which emphasize usually the importance of planning and implementation processes upfront in IT outsourcing projects. According to after-the-fact observation by an expert in an organization participating in the study, their needs and motivations for outsourcing contracts had been quite familiar already to the vendors as long-term partners under a same conglomerate, so that the maturity in the phases of planning and implementation seems not to be differentiating factors for the success of IT outsourcing. This study will be the foundation for the future research in the area of IT outsourcing management and success, in particular in the service level management. And also, it could guide managers in practice in IT outsourcing management to focus on service level management process in operation and evaluation stage especially for long-term outsourcing contracts under very unique context like Korean IT outsourcing projects. This study has some limitations in generalization because the sample size is small and the context itself is confined in an unique environment. For future exploration, survey based research could be designed and implemented.

1985년 10월의 한국 동남해역에서의 식물성 부유생물에 의한 기초 생산력은 0.7에서 2.7gCm$^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$의 범위를 갖으며 본 해역의 평균 기초 생산력은 1.3gCm$^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$ 이었다. 표층 총 Chlorophyll양은 0.97에서 3.59 mgchlm$^{-3}$ 의 범위에 나타났다. 표층에서의 nano-phytoplankton(〈20$\mu\textrm{m}$) 의 기초 생산력은 43내지 97%에 이르었다. 적정광도의 범위는 300에서 700$\mu$Es$^{-1}$m$^{-1}$ 이었다. 표층 기초생산력은 Iopt를 벗어나는 오전 9시부 터 오후 3시까지 광저하 현상을 보였다. 표광층 기저부의 식물성 부유생물은 매우 Iopt를 보이며 이는 이 층의 식물성 부유생물이 장시간 낮은 광도하에 머물러 낮은 광도에 적응하였음을 보여 준다. Iopt은 부유식물의 주변 광도에 대한 적응을 나타 내주기 때문에 여러수층의 Iopt의 변화정도는 해양에서의 수직와류혼합의 강도와 밀접한 관계를 나타낸다.본 연구해역에서는 macrozoplankton 에 의한 amonium 분비에 의한 영양염 재생산은 식물부유생물의 일일 질소 영양염 요구량의 3-19%를 공급하고 있으며nitrate 수직확산에 의해 밀도약층 하부로 부터 공급되는 영양염은 식물성 부유생물의 일일 질소영양염 요구량의 약 3% 를 공급하고 있음이 밝혀졌다.국지적으로 용승류에 의한 하층으로부터의 영양염 공급은 연안에 가까운 용승역에서 중요한 영양염 공급원이 돌 가능성이 있다.본 연구를 통하여 본 해역에서의 구조적 영양염 주요공급과정은 20$\mu\textrm{m}$이하의 미세 부유생물에 의한 수괴 자체내의 영양염 재순환에 의하고 있음을 암시한다.본 연구를 통하여 대마난류의 기초 생산력은 한국 해역을 통과하는 과정에서 활발한 영야염 재순환 및 국지적인 용승류 및 연안수의 유입등과 식물성 부유생물의 촉진된 성장을 통하여 증가되고 있음이 밝혀졌다.

A comprehensive numerical study is carried out to investigate for the understanding of the flow evolution and flame development in a supersonic combustor with normal injection of ncumally injecting hydrogen in airsupersonic flows. The formulation treats the complete conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy, and species concentration for a multi-component chemically reacting system. For the numerical simulation of supersonic combustion, multi-species Navier-Stokes equations and detailed chemistry of H2-Air is considered. It also accommodates a finite-rate chemical kinetics mechanism of hydrogen-air combustion GRI-Mech. 2.11[1], which consists of nine species and twenty-five reaction steps. Turbulence closure is achieved by means of a k-two-equation model (2). The governing equations are spatially discretized using a finite-volume approach, and temporally integrated by means of a second-order accurate implicit scheme (3-5).The supersonic combustor consists of a flat channel of 10 cm height and a fuel-injection slit of 0.1 cm width located at 10 cm downstream of the inlet. A cavity of 5 cm height and 20 cm width is installed at 15 cm downstream of the injection slit. A total of 936160 grids are used for the main-combustor flow passage, and 159161 grids for the cavity. The grids are clustered in the flow direction near the fuel injector and cavity, as well as in the vertical direction near the bottom wall. The no-slip and adiabatic conditions are assumed throughout the entire wall boundary. As a specific example, the inflow Mach number is assumed to be 3, and the temperature and pressure are 600 K and 0.1 MPa, respectively. Gaseous hydrogen at a temperature of 151.5 K is injected normal to the wall from a choked injector.A series of calculations were carried out by varying the fuel injection pressure from 0.5 to 1.5MPa. This amounts to changing the fuel mass flow rate or the overall equivalence ratio for different operating regimes. Figure 1 shows the instantaneous temperature fields in the supersonic combustor at four different conditions. The dark blue region represents the hot burned gases. At the fuel injection pressure of 0.5 MPa, the flame is stably anchored, but the flow field exhibits a high-amplitude oscillation. At the fuel injection pressure of 1.0 MPa, the Mach reflection occurs ahead of the injector. The interaction between the incoming air and the injection flow becomes much more complex, and the fuel/air mixing is strongly enhanced. The Mach reflection oscillates and results in a strong fluctuation in the combustor wall pressure. At the fuel injection pressure of 1.5MPa, the flow inside the combustor becomes nearly choked and the Mach reflection is displaced forward. The leading shock wave moves slowly toward the inlet, and eventually causes the combustor-upstart due to the thermal choking. The cavity appears to play a secondary role in driving the flow unsteadiness, in spite of its influence on the fuel/air mixing and flame evolution. Further investigation is necessary on this issue. The present study features detailed resolution of the flow and flame dynamics in the combustor, which was not typically available in most of the previous works. In particular, the oscillatory flow characteristics are captured at a scale sufficient to identify the underlying physical mechanisms. Much of the flow unsteadiness is not related to the cavity, but rather to the intrinsic unsteadiness in the flowfield, as also shown experimentally by Ben-Yakar et al. [6], The interactions between the unsteady flow and flame evolution may cause a large excursion of flow oscillation. The work appears to be the first of its kind in the numerical study of combustion oscillations in a supersonic combustor, although a similar phenomenon was previously reported experimentally. A more comprehensive discussion will be given in the final paper presented at the colloquium.
