Negative ion generation in an inductively coupled oxygen plasma was investigated by using a Langmuir probe. It was observed that the probe current ratio of the positive ion saturation current and the negative current which is consisted of the electron current and the negative ion current, and also the potential difference between the floating potential and plasma potential vary with the RF input power and more sensitively with the operating pressure, respectively. Results show that the operating condition to achieve the maximum probe current ratio and the minimum potential difference shift from the low pressure region to the high pressure regions with increasing the input power. It implies that the generation of the negative oxygen ions increases and the recombination of the positive and negative ions are enhanced in the plasma.

At weekly intervals, we monitored continuous changes in water quality by constructed floating wetland equipped with the four different filter media (sponge, volcanic stone, activated carbon and magnesium hydroxide) in a eutrophic lake from March 2011 to May 2012. We also investigated phyto- and zooplankton communities both in the influent and the effluent water through the floating wetland. Over a 10-month time period, average turbidity (66%), suspended solids (79%) and chlorophyll-a (80%) concentrations were remarkably reduced in the effluent water compared to the influent (P<0.001). The average removal rates of $NO_2-N$ and $NH_3-N$ were 24% and 20%, respectively (P<0.05). The average removal rates of $NO_3-N$ and TN were less than 10% (P>0.05). On the other hand, the average removal rates of $PO_4-P$ and TP were more than 65% (P<0.01). Interestingly, the abundance of phytoplankton in the effluent was decreased about 2.6 times compared to that of the influent, whereas the abundance of zooplankton in the effluent was increased about 3.5 times compared to that of the influent. Overall, particulate matters (SS, Chl-a and TP) and dissolved nutrients ($NO_2-N$, $NH_3-N$ and $PO_4-P$) were particularly reduced at high rates. Therefore, application of our constructed floating wetland in a eutrophic lake improved the water quality and demonstrated a potential for algal bloom mitigation.

In this study, we have proposed a floating metal guard ring structure based on TCAD simulation in order to enhance the breakdown voltage characteristics of gallium oxide ($Ga_2O_3$) vertical high voltage switching Schottky barrier diode. Unlike conventional guard ring structures, the floating metal guard rings do not require an ion implantation process. The locally enhanced high electric field at the anode corner was successfully suppressed by the metal guard rings, resulting in breakdown voltage enhancement. The number of guard rings and their width and spacing were varied for structural optimization during which the current-voltage characteristics and internal electric field and potential distributions were carefully investigated. For an n-type drift layer with a doping concentration of $5{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ and a thickness of $5{\mu}m$, the optimum guard ring structure had 5 guard rings with an individual ring width of $1.5{\mu}m$ and a spacing of $0.2{\mu}m$ between rings. The breakdown voltage was increased from 940 V to 2000 V without degradation of on-resistance by employing the optimum guard ring structure. The proposed floating metal guard ring structure can improve the device performance without requiring an additional fabrication step.

The first order mation responses of a floating structure and the hydrodynamic forces in regular waves are obtained by means of the linear potential theory. The first order potential is obtained directly from the numerical solution of the improved Green integral equation which is characterized by the combined surface distribution of sources and normal doublets. The mean second order wave drift force is also calculated by means of the near field method. It seems that the present method gives more accurate numerical results than other methods and the agreement between numerical and experimental results appears to be satisfactory.

A far field approximate solution of the slowly varying force on a 3 dimensional offshore structure in gravity ocean waves is presented. The first order potential, or at least the far field form of the Kochin function, of each frequency wave is assumed to be known. The momentum flux of the fluid domain is formulated to find the time variant force acting on the floating body in bichromatic waves. The second order difference frequency force is identified and extracted from the time variant force. The final solution is expressed as the circular integration of the product of Kochin functions. The limiting form of the slowly varying force is identical to the mean drift force. It shows that the slowly varying force components caused by the body disturbance potential can be evaluated at the far field.

공정용 유도 결합 플라즈마(ICP)에서 강자성체인 페라이트를 이용하여 제작한 발룬 변압기(balun transformer)를 사용하여 플라즈마 밀도를 높이는 실험을 수행하였다. 실험에서는 2개의 발룬 변압기를 이중구조 안테나에 설치하여 실제 인가되는 전압이 접지전위 대비＋V에서 ${\pm}$V/2로 변환되도록 구성하였다. 20~100 mTorr 압력 범위의 아르곤 기체 50 sccm에 30~70 W범위의 전력을 인가하여 반응용기의 중앙과 벽면에서 부유 탐침법을 적용하여 플라즈마 밀도를 측정 하였다. 같은 압력과 같은 전력에서 발룬 변압기를 사용했을 때와 회로에서 변압기만 제거한 실험을 비교하면 반응용기 중앙에서 플라즈마 밀도가 평균 10% 증가함을 보였다. 이는 안테나에 발란스 된 전압이 인가되면 플라즈마 균일도가 증가하고 부유전위(floating potential) 대비 플라즈마 전위(plasma potential)가 낮아져서 이온에 의한 손실이 줄어들어 전자가 더 많은 에너지를 흡수해서 나타나는 현상이다. 특히 E-mode에서 H-mode로 전환되면 플라즈마 밀도가 크게 증가함을 보였고, 반응용기 벽면에서는 발룬 변압기를 사용했을 때 밀도가 낮다가 H-mode로 전환 시 비교실험 대비 밀도가 크게 증가함을 볼 수 있었다.

As the number of offshore structure is glowing in deep waters, there have been increased damages of it. These floating structures in offshore locations exposed to harsh environmental conditions. In recent years, there has been a slowing attention around damages on bow and deck on FPSO caused by waves in steep storm condition. This paper describes a study of the water on deck due to the dynamic behavior of a FPSO with turret mooring system. The nonlinear motions of the FPSO are simulated under external forces due to wave, current, wind, and mooring forces in the time domain. The direct integration method is employed to estimate low frequency drift wave forces. The current forces are calculated by using slow motion maneuvering equations in the horizontal plane. The coefficients of a model for wind forces are calculated from Isherwood's experimental data and the variation of wind speed is estimated by wind spectrum according to the guidelines of API-RP2A.

Herein the dynamic response of an axisymmetric buoy to regular wave is studied within linear potential theory. The buoy has a particular geometry so that it should experience minimum wave-exiting force on the vertical direction at a precribed wave number in water of finite depth. Invoking the Green's theorem a velocity potential is generated by distributing pulsating sources and doublets on the immersed surface of the buoy at its mean position. Hydrodynamic forces and moments are obtained approximately by summation of the products of linear pressure and directional mesh area over the immersed surface. Model tests are carried out to measure the wave-exciting forces, hydrodynamic forces and motion responses. The experimental results in general agree fairly well with the numerical ones. From the analytical and experimental works it is found that the pitching motion and its coupling effect affect significantly the motion characteristics of the freely-floating axisymmetric buoy in regular waves.

This study reviews the recent development and research results of a fixed oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter (WEC). The OWC WEC can be divided into fixed and floating types based on the installation location and movement of the structure. In this article, the study on a stationary OWC WEC, which is close to commercialization through the accumulation of long-term research achievements, is divided into five research categories with a focus on primary energy conversion research. These research categories include potential-flow-based numerical analysis, wave tank experiments, computational fluid dynamics analyses toward investigation of fluid viscous effects, U-shaped OWC studies that can amplify water surface displacement in the OWC chamber, and studies on OWC prototypes that have been installed and operated in real sea environments. This review will provide an overview of recent research on the stationary OWC WEC and basic information for further detailed studies on the OWC.
