A systematic numerical comparative study of the performance of semicircular and rectangular submerged breakwaters interacting with solitary waves is the basis of this paper. To accomplish this task, Nwogu's extended Boussinesq model equations are employed to simulate the interaction of the wave with breakwaters. The finite difference technique has been used to discretize the spatial terms while a fourth-order predictor-corrector method is employed for time discretization in our numerical model. The proposed computational scheme uses a staggered-grid system where the first-order spatial derivatives have been discretized with fourth-order accuracy. For validation purposes, five test cases are considered and numerical results have been successfully compared with the existing analytical and experimental results. The performances of the rectangular and semicircular breakwaters have been examined in terms of the wave reflection, transmission, and dissipation coefficients (RTD coefficients) denoted by K_R, K_T, K_D. The latter coefficient K_D emerges due to the non-energy conserving K_R and K_T. Our computational results and graphical illustrations show that the rectangular breakwater has higher reflection coefficients than semicircular breakwater for a fixed crest height, but as the wave height increases, the two reflection coefficients approach each other. un the other hand, the rectangular breakwater has larger dissipation coefficients compared to that of the semicircular breakwater and the difference between them increases as the height of the crest increases. However, the transmission coefficient for the semicircular breakwater is greater than that of the rectangular breakwater and the difference in their transmission coefficients increases with the crest height. Quantitatively, for rectangular breakwaters the reflection coefficients K_R are 5-15% higher while the diffusion coefficients K_D are 3-23% higher than that for the semicircular breakwaters, respectively. The transmission coefficients K_T for rectangular breakwater shows the better performance up to 2.47% than that for the semicircular breakwaters. Based on our computational results, one may conclude that the rectangular breakwater has a better overall performance than the semicircular breakwater. Although the model equations are non-dissipative, the non-energy conserving transmission and reflection coefficients due to wave-breakwater interactions lead to dissipation type contribution.

The municipal government of Daejeon, Korea set up a plan to retrofit solar energy to the existing swimming pool. The pool was constructed in 1980, and meets the requirements of International standard. It will be used for the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Seoul Olymipics. The roof structure of the existing pool is to be modified to accomodate trickle solar collectors. In addition, various energy conserving ideas will be applied to the existing building structure. For the prevention of over heating of collectors on the roof, natural air convection scheme will be adopted within the collector system. Natural convection of passive type heating would be also adopted for the space heating of the pool when the system is idle. At present, the pool can be utilized only for two months a year without auxilairy heating. With oil heating, the energy cost would be too high for the normal operation. When this project completed in March 1984, it would be expected to be openable for seven months a year without a significan amount of auxiliary heating. In this project, two dimensional numerical analysis technic have been used to analyse the characterisitics of thermal performance of the swimming pool system. An experimental tat verification of the theoretical analysis have been also attempted.

무선 센서 네트워크의 센서 노드들은 한정된 자원을 가지고 있으며 배터리의 교체가 어렵다는 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 제한된 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하는 기법은 매우 중요하다. 지금까지 이러한 센서 노드의 에너지 소모를 최소화하기 위하여 다양한 스케줄링 문제 및 해결 방안에 관한 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 특히 CTC(Connected Target Coverage) 문제는 타겟 커버리지와 연결성을 동시에 고려하여 센서 노드들의 효율적인 상태 전이 시점을 결정하는 대표적인 스케줄링 문제로 간주된다. 본 논문에서는 중복되어 센싱되는 타겟을 고려한 보다 올바른 센서 에너지 소비 모델을 제안하고 센서 네트워크의 수명을 더욱 연장 할 수 있는 CMTC(Connected Multiple-Target Coverage) 문제를 제시한다. 또한, 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 SPT(Shortest Path based on Targets) Greedy 알고리즘을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안기법이 기존기법보다 센서 네트워크의 수명을 더욱 연장하는 기법임을 보인다.

본 논문에서 줄기 노드는 mesh 토폴로지의 중추 망을 이루고 각 줄기 노드는 주변의 잎 노드와 함께 별 토폴로지의 부속망을 형성하는 무선 센서 망을 고려한다. 이러한 무선 센서 망에서 잎 노드로부터 줄기 노드로의 패킷 전달을 지원하는 MAC 방식을 설계할 때 반드시 다음 사항을 유념해야 한다. 첫째, 잎 노드는 일반적으로 배터리로부터 전력을 공급받는데 이러한 배터리를 교체하거나 충전하기가 어렵다. 둘째, 무선 센서 망은 흔히 주기적으로 데이타를 수집하여 갱신하기 위해 파송된다. 데이타 조각의 전달이 지연되면 싱크 노드의 데이타 처리가 지연되고 결과적으로 데이타 조각 자체를 폐기해야 할 수도 있다. 셋째, 무선 센서 망에서는 시그널링이 극도로 제약되고 복잡한 계산이 곤란하다. 이러한 점을 고려할 매 MAC 방식은 에너지를 절약하고 패킷 전달에서 적시성을 지원할 수 있어야 하며 동시에 단순하고 로버스트해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서망의 MAC 방식으로 ALOHA의 수정판을 제안한다. ALOHA 제안 판은 ALOHA 원판의 단순함과 로버스트함을 보전하면서 매번 패킷의 전달을 시도하기에 앞서 잎 노드가 중지 혹은 계속을 결정하는 특징을 갖는다. 이러한 결정을 위해 본 논문에서는 Bayes 중지 규칙을 제안한다. Bayes 중지 규칙은 에너지, 적시성 고리고 throughput 손실이 반영된 Bayes 위험을 최소화하는 중지 규칙으로 잎 노드가 오직 전달 시도에 관한 선험적 지식과 자신의 전달 시도 경험에만 의존하여 중지 혹은 계속을 결정하므로 실용적이다. 계량적 결과로부터 Bayes 중지 규칙이 도입된 ALOHA 제안 판은 무선 센서 망의 열악한 환경에서 유용함을 확인한다.

The submerged U-shape breakwater interaction with the solitary wave is simulated by the Boussinesq equations using the finite-difference scheme. The wave reflection, transmission, and dissipation (RTD) coefficients are used to investigate the U-shape breakwater's performance for different crest width, Lc1, and indent breakwater height, du. The results show that the submerged breakwater performance for a set of U-shape breakwater with the same cross-section area is related to the length of submerged breakwater crest, Lc1, and the distance between the crests, Lc2 (or the height of du). The breakwater has the maximum performance when the crest length is larger, and at the same time, the distance between them increases. Changing the Lc1 and du of the U-shape breakwaters result in a significant change in the RTD coefficients. Comparison of the U-shape breakwater, having the best performance, with the averaged RTD values shows that the transmission coefficients, Kt, has a better performance of up to 4% in comparison to other breakwaters. Also, the reflection coefficients KR and the diffusion coefficients, Kd shows a better performance of about 30% and 55% on average, respectively. However, the model governing equations are non-dissipative. The non-energy conserving of the transmission and reflection coefficients due to wave and breakwater interaction results in dissipation type contribution. The U-shape breakwater with the best performance is compared with the rectangular breakwater with the same cross-section area to investigate the economic advantages of the U-shape breakwater. The transmission coefficients, Kt, of the U-shape breakwater shows a better performance of 5% higher than the rectangular one. The reflection coefficient, KR, is 60% lower for U-shape in comparison to rectangular one; however, the diffusion coefficients, Kd, of U-shape breakwater is 35% higher than the rectangular breakwater. Therefore, we could say that the U-shape breakwater has a better performance than the rectangular one.

The Solar Energy R&D Department of KIER under the auspice of the Korean government is pushing hard on the development of the passive solar technology with high priority for the expeditious widespread use of solar energy in Korea, since the past few years of experiences told us that the active solar technology is not yet ready for massive commercialization in Korea. KIER has completed the construction of the Solar Energy Research & Test Center in Seoul, which houses the major facilities for its all solar test programs. The Center was designed as a passive solar building with great emphasis on the energy conserving ideas. The Center is not only the largest passive building in Korea, but also the exhibit center for the effective demonstration of the passive heating and cooling technology to the Korean public. The Center was designed to satisfy the requirements based on the technical and economical criteria set by the KIER. Careful considerations, therefore, were given in depth in the following areas to meet the requirements. 1) Passive Heating Concepts The Center employed the combination of direct and indirect gain system. The shape of the Center is Balcomb House style, and it included a large built-in sunspace in front. A partition, consists of transparent and translucent glazings, separates the sunspace and the living space. Since most activities in the Center occur during the day time, direct utilization of the solar energy by the living spaces was emphasized with the limited energy storage capacity. 2) Passive Cooling Concepts(for Summer) Natural ventilation concept was utilized throughout the building. In the direct gain portion of the system, the front glazing can be openable during the cooling season. Natural convection scheme was also applied to the front sunspace for the Summer cooling. Reflective surfaces and curtains were utilized wherever needed. 3) Auxiliary Heat ing and Cooling System As an auxiliary cooling system, mechanical means(forced convection system) were adopted. Therefore forced air heating system was also used to match the duct work requirements of the auxiliary cool ing system. 4) Effect ive Insulation & Others These included the double glazed windows, the double entry doors, the night glazing insulation, the front glazing-frame insulation as well as the building skin insulation. All locally available construction materials were used, and natural lightings were provided as much as possible. The expected annual energy savings (compared to the non-insulated conventional building)of the Center was estimated to be about 80%, which accounts for both the energy conservation and the solar energy source. The Center is being instumented for the actual performance tests. The experimental results of the simplified tests are discussed in this paper.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 에너지 소비의 효율성은 전체 네트워크 수명 시간을 결정하기 때문에 에너지 소비를 최소화하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서 에너지 보전을 위해서는 운영에 필요한 최소한 센서 노드만을 활성화된 상태로 유지하고 나머지 노드들은 휴면 상태로 유지하여 불필요한 에너지 소비가 일어나지 않도록 하여야 한다. 그러나 얼마만큼의 센서 노드들을 최적의 운영 노드 집합에 포함시킬 것인지를 계산하는 것은 NP-hard 문제로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 최적에 근접한 커버 집합(cover set)을 생성하기 위하여 CVT 기반의 근사화 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 센서의 통신 범위가 센싱 범위의 두 배 이상이면 커버 집합에 속한 센서 노드 간의 연결이 즉시 이루어지도록 하고 반면에 통신 범위가 센싱 범위의 두 배 이하이면 커버 집합의 접속성 보장을 위하여 보조 노드를 결정하는 연결 기법을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 제안된 알고리즘의 성능 평가를 위하여 이론적 분석과 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 Greedy 알고리즘보다 CCS(Connected Cover Set)의 크기와 실행 시간 측면에서 우수함을 보였다.
