The purpose of this study is to propose an enhanced variable-speed control method of ground-water circulation pumps using inlet and outlet ground-water temperature difference and analyze its effect for the ground source multi-heat pump system installed in a single-family house. As a result, it has shown to significantly reduce the electricity use of ground-water circulation pump and improve overall system Coefficient of Performance (COP) due to the proposed variable-speed control under partial load conditions after oversized and inefficient single-speed pump retrofit.

One of the factors influencing the climate around Korea is the oceanic-atmospheric variability in the tropical region between the eastern Indian and the western Pacific Oceans. Lack of knowledge about the air-sea interaction in the tropical Indo-Pacific region continues to make it problematic forecasting the ocean climate in the East Asia. The 'Tropical Indo-Pacific water transport and ecosystem monitoring EXperiment (TIPEX)' is a program for monitoring the ocean circulation variability between Pacific and Indian Oceans and for improving the accuracy of future climate forecasting. The main goal of the TIPEX program is to quantify the climate and ocean circulation change between the Indian and the Pacific Oceans. The contents of the program are 1) to observe the mixing process of different water masses and water transport in the eastern Indian and the western Pacific, 2) to understand the large-scale oceanic-climatic variation including El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)/Warm Pool/Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)/Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and 3) to monitor the biogeochemical processes, material flux, and biological changes due to the climate change. In order to effectively carry out the monitoring program, close international cooperation and the proper co-work sharing of tasks between China, Japan, Indonesia, and India as well as USA is required.

물은 단순히 자연 자체라기보다 사회적 구성물이다. 따라서 물에 관한 연구는 자연/사회를 이분법적으로 구분하는 근대 과학적 접근에서 '사회적 자연'으로 이해하는 구성주의적 및 정치생태학적 접근으로의 전환을 요구한다. 특히 도시의 물은 자연적 순환과는 다른 인위적 생산-유통-소비-배출-처리 과정, 즉 사회적 순환과정을 통해 흐른다. 도시에서 물의 사회적 순환체계는 도시의 근대화 과정 속에서 발전한다. 이 논문은 이러한 자연의 사회적 구성주의에 바탕을 두고 도시 물의 사회적 순환을 개념화하고, 대구시를 사례로 물의 사회적 순환체계의 발달, 즉 물의 근대화 과정을 역사적으로 분석하고자 한다. 대구시의 물의 근대화 과정에 따른 사회적 순환체계의 발달은 4 단계, 물의 근대화 도입 시기, 물의 본격적 근대화 시기, 물의 성찰적 근대화 시기, 물의 신자유주의화 시기로 구분된다. 이러한 대구시 물의 사회적 순환체계의 발달은 도시의 공간적 팽창과 도시적 생활양식을 뒷받침하면서 도시 인구의 증가와 경제 발전에 기여했다. 그러나 현재 대구의 물의 사회적 순환체계는 취수장 이전, 정수시설의 과잉, 수돗물에 대한 불신, 물 이용의 불평등, 물 요금의 현실화, 도시 내 공단 폐수, 물 환경의 창조적 파괴, 물의 민영화 등 다양한 문제들을 안고 있다.

The studies were carried out to investigate the effects of esophageal thermal tube for rewarming in the hypothermia in rabbits. Thiry-one rabbits were continuously cooled with femoral arterio-venous bypass circulation to 25.0${\pm}$0.3$^{\circ}C$(profound hypothermia) of rectal temperature. The experiment was consisted with 3 esophageal thermal tube groups perfused with circulation water at 38${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$(low, n=12), 42${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$(medium, n=12), and 45${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$(high, n=7). Esophageal thermla tube specially constructed double-lumen esophageal tube with circulating warm water at respective htermal grade. With this device, rewarming of the rabbits as follows; High-esophageal thermal tube group(45${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$)had a more effect on mean arterial pressure(MAP), heart rate(HR), esophageal temperature, and rectal temperature than others groups, but the circulation water at 45$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ may cause thermal injuries in the esophagus because esophageal temperature increased to 41.1$^{\circ}C$. Medium-esophageal thermal tube group(42${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$) had a more effect on RR than others groups, but the circulation water at 42${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$ may also cause thermal injuries in the esophagus if the temperature exceeds 42$^{\circ}C$ for an extended period of time because its esophageal temperature increased to 39.4$^{\circ}C$. Low-esophageal thermal tube group(38${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$) had a more effect on MAP, RR, and esophageal temperature than others groups. In conclusion, rewarming of the central core in the treatment of profound hypothermia using the esophageal thermal tube perfused with circulation water at 38${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$ appears to be a ideal alternative safety zone of the temperature of circulation water avoiding thermal injury in esophagus causing by out of order or lower precise thermostat of water bath to that of others groups.

Intermittent deep draw artificial circulation system is one of the most widely used destratification systems to control algal bloom in reservoirs in Korea. However, there have been neither theoretical background of design criteria nor operation guide line for efficient application of the system available for such systems. A design method was developed to calculate required compressor capacity and number of circulation units considering physical interactions between stratified water layers and plumes induced by the intermittent deep draw artificial circulation system. The program was tested with data observed in Yeoncho Lake. The results indicated that the developed method can applied in the fields successfully. Further validation processes would improve design and operation methods.

This research studied the characteristics of the customer circulation in four department store food court restaurants located in Seoul. The characteristics of the customer circulation are the following: Before customers leave the dining space where they eat food, they come and go to spaces such as the water purifier space, the napkin storage, and the cup storage. On the other hand, they do not come and go from the dining space to the waste area or the area where used cups are returned. Therefore the spaces, that need to be located very near the dining space, are the water purifier space, the cup storage, and the napkin storage. The waste area does not have to be placed very near the dining area and the area where used cups are returned is not needed. A minority of customers drink water and use napkins after going to the waste area and the area where dirty dishes are kept. To prevent these customers from going against the circulation of the majority of customers, a water purifier space, a cup storage, and a napkin storage should be placed additionally connecting to the waste area and the area where dirty dishes are kept. For effective circulation plan and spatial composition of food court restaurants, these characteristics of customer circulation should be considered. It is not recommended to place the water purifier space, the napkin storage, and the cup storage, the waste area or the area where used cups are returned, and the hand cleansing facility in the same location just for the convenience of workers.

Estuarine dams are dams constructed in estuaries for reasons such as securing freshwater resources, controlling water levels, and hydroelectric power generation. These estuarine dams alter the flow of freshwater to the coastal ocean and the tidal properties of the estuaries which has implications for the estuaries' circulation and sediment transport. A previous study has analyzed the effect of estuarine dams on 1D (along-channel) circulation and sediment transport. However, the effect of estuarine dams on the transverse variability of along-channel and across-channel circulation and sediment transport has not been studied and is not known. In this study, a coupled hydrodynamic-sediment dynamic numerical model (COAWST) was used to analyze the transverse variability of along-channel and across-channel flow and sediment transport in estuaries with estuarine dams. The estuarine dam was found to change the 3D structure of circulation and sediment transport, and the result was found to depend on the estuarine type (i.e., strongly stratified (SS) or well-mixed (WM) estuary). The SS estuary had inflow in the channel and outflow over the shoals, consistent with estuarine circulation. Longer discharge interval reduced the estuarine circulation. The WM estuary had inflow over the shoals and outflow in the channel, consistent with tide-induced circulation. As the estuarine dam was located nearer to the estuary mouth, the tide-induced circulation was reduced and replaced with estuarine circulation. The lateral circualtion was the greatest in the tide-dominated estuaries. It was reduced and changed direction due to differential advection change as the dam was located nearer the mouth. Overall, the WM estuary transverse flow structure changed the most. Lateral sediment flux was important in all estuaries, particularly for transporting sediments to the tidal flats.

The three dimensional structure of thermohaline circulation in a D-plane is investigated using a conceptual two layer model and a scaling argument. In this simple model, the water mass formation region is excluded. The upper layer represents the oceans above the main thermocline. The lower layer represents the deep ocean below the thermocline and is much thicker than the upper layer. In each layer, geostrophy and the linear vorticity balance are assumed. The cross interfacial velocity that compensates for the deep water mass formation balances downward heat diffusion from the top. From the above relations, we can determine the thickness of the upper layer, which is the same as thermocline depth. The results we get is basically the same as that we get for an f-plane ocean or the classical thermocline theory. Mass budget using the velocity scales from the scaling argument shows that western boundary and interior transports are much larger than the net meridional transport. Therefore in the thermohaline circulation, horizontal circulation is much stronger than the vertical circulation occuring on a meridional plane.

A seasonal circulation in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea and its possible cause have been studied with CSK data during 1965-1989. Water mass distributions are clear in winter, but not in summer because the upper layer waters are quite influenced by atmosphere. To solve the problem, a water mass analysis by mixing ratio is used for the lower layer waters. The results show that the distribution of Tsushima Warm Current Water expands to the Yellow Sea in winter and retreats to the East China Sea in summer. It means that there is a very slow seasonal circulation between the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea: Tsushima Warm Current Water flows into the Yellow Sea in winter and coastal water flows out of the Yellow Sea in summer. By the circulation, the front between Tsushima Warm Current Water and coastal water moves toward the shelf break in summer so that the flow is faster in the deeper region. The process eventually makes the transport in the Korea Strait increase. The Kuroshio does not seem to influence the process. A possible mechanism of the process is the seasonal change of sea surface slope due to different local effects of surface heating and diluting between the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea.
