  • This study presents that various grain boundary junctions are prepared by controlling the seed orientation combined with an artificial hole in a melt process REBCO bulk superconductor. Large grain YBCO superconductors have been fabricated with various grain boundary junctions that the angle between the grain boundary and the <001> axis of Y123 crystal is $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$, respectively. The presence of the artificial hole is beneficial for the formation of clean grain boundary junction and single peak trapped magnetic field profiles have been obtained. Artificial hole makes two growth fronts meet at a point on a periphery of the artificial hole. The presence of artificial hole is not likely to affect on the distribution of Y211 particles. The newly formed <110> facet lines are explained by the formation of new Y123/liquid interface with (010) crystallographic plane.

  • This paper discusses the application of evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms namely Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and Modified NSGA-II (MNSGA-II) for solving the Combined Economic Emission Dispatch (CEED) problem with valve-point loading. The valve-point loading introduce ripples in the input-output characteristics of generating units and make the CEED problem as a non-smooth optimization problem. IEEE 57-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems are taken to validate its effectiveness of NSGA-II and MNSGA-II. To compare the Pareto-front obtained using NSGA-II and MNSGA-II, reference Pareto-front is generated using multiple runs of Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) with weighted sum of objectives. Furthermore, three different performance metrics such as convergence, diversity and Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) are calculated for evaluating the closeness of obtained Pareto-fronts. Numerical results reveal that MNSGA-II algorithm performs better than NSGA-II algorithm to solve the CEED problem effectively.

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD in short) approach is now playing an important role in the engineering process recently. Generating proper grid system for the region of interest in time is prerequisite for the efficient numerical calculation of flow physics using CFD approach. Grid generation is, however, usually considered as a major obstacle for a routine and successful application of numerical approaches in the engineering process. CFD approach based on the unstructured grid system is gaining popularity due to its simplicity and efficiency for generating grid system compared to the structured grid approaches. In this paper an automated triangular surface grid generation using CAD surface data is proposed According to the present method, the CAD surface data imported in the STL format is processed to identify feature edges defining the topology and geometry of the surface shape first. When the feature edges are identified, node points along the edges are distributed. The initial fronts which connect those feature edge nodes are constructed and then they are advanced along the CAD surface data inward until the surface is fully covered by triangular surface grid cells using Advancing Front Method. It is found that this approach can be implemented in an automated way successfully saving man-hours and reducing human-errors in generating triangular surface grid system.

  • This paper presents a modified geometric active contour model or edge detection and segmentation of computed tomography(CT) scan images. The method is based on the level setup approach developed by Osher and Sethian and the modeling of propagation fronts with curvature dependent speeds by Malladi. Based on above algorithms, the geometric active contour is obtained through a particular level set of hypersurface lowing along its gradient force and curvature force. This technique retains the attractive feature which is topological and geometric flexibility of the contour in recovering objects with complex shapes and unknown topologies. But there are limitations in this algorithm which are being not able to separate the object with weak difference from neighbor object. So we use speed limitation filter to overcome those problems. We apply a 2D model to various synthetic cases and the three cases of real CT scan images in order to segment objects with complicated shapes and topologies. From the results, the presented model confirms that it attracts very naturally and efficiently to the desired feature of CT scan images.

  • 복도나 터널과 같이 특정한 방향성을 가지는 공간에서는 천장아래에 형성되는 연기선단의 성상해석이 학술적인 면에서나 실용적인 면에서도 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 2차원 축대칭 천장제트 선단의 전파속도를 모델화하기 위하여 상사해석 및 차원해석을 수행하였다. 실험에서는 질소와 헬륨의 혼합가스를 원형 천장에 노즐로 분출시켜 화재로 인한 연기를 구현하였으며 속도측정을 위하여 레이저와 고속카메라를 이용한 가시화 기법이 사용되었다.

  • The chlorophyll-a concentration measured by OCTS could be used for observing the physical phenomena such as eddies, fronts, and up welling in the oceans as well as for studying the ecology of phytoplankton. In this study, biological and physical features in the East Sea/Japan Sea (the East Sea) and the Yellow Sea observed by OCTS are analyzed in comparison with other satellite data. And in situ chlorophyll data were compared with OCTS Level 2 chlorophyll data. There was a striking correspondence between the satellite chlorophyll structure and other satellite data in the East Sea in the spring. Very complicated ring structures in the 557 are reflected in chlorophyll structure. In the Yellow Sea, the surface structure was rather simple. While the discrepancies between in situ and OCTS algorithm version 3 chlorophyll were small in the East Sea, those for the Yellow Sea were rather big. Comparison with CZCS data for similar time of the year (May-June) shows that OCTS chlorophyll is higher in general. Although the error is partly due to the fact that NASDA chlorophyll algorithm is an empirical algorithm for case 1 water, how much of this error is also due to the errors in sensor calibration or in atmospheric correction is not clear.

  • 1976년, 1980년 11월에 실시된 해양관측 자료와 인공위성에 의한 적외선 사진을 이용하여 대한해협 근해의 전선구조에 대하여 연구하였다. 수온 및 염분전선의 위치는 서로 일치하며 40∼60km의 파장과 15∼20km의 진폭을 갖는 사행운동을 한다. 전선대의 연안쪽 경계를 따라서 33%미만의 염분극소지역이 나타난다. 전선대의 폭은 대체로 내부변형반경인 5∼10km에, 밀도전선면이 경사진 폭은 내부변형반경의 두배에 해당된다. 4∼5일 간격으로 찍은 일련의 적외선 사진들은 해저지형이 매우 완만한 대한해협 서쪽 해역에서 전선대의 변형 이 특히 심하게 일어남을 보여준다.

  • 현재 다양한 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있는 지하투과레이더(Ground Penetrating Radar, GPR)를 이용하여 지하수면 및 함수량을 추정하였다. 비피압대수층 내에서의 얕은 포화대(saturated zone) 깊이을 산정하는 연구(livari and Doolittle, 1994, van Overmeeren, 1994)와 포화대 상부 습윤대(wetting fronts)의 거동를 조사한 연구(Vellidis et al, 1990) 등에 활용된 바 있는 GPR 기숙을 바탕으로 비피압대수층의 통기대와 포화대 내의 함수량 및 지하수면 추정을 위한 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 지하수면 및 함수량의 현장 적용성을 검증하기 위해서는 시간과 경제적인 면에서 비효율적인 점을 고려하여 사질토로 구성된 실험용 토조를 제작하여 건조시 획득된 GPR 자료, 지하수면의 변화에 따른 GPR 이미지를 비교하여 그 적용성을 검토하고 시${\cdot}$공간적 지하수면의 정확한 추정을 위해서 삼차원으로 비교${\cdot}$검토할 수 있도록 하였으며, GPR 자료의 정확성을 검증하기 위해서 토조 하부에 액주계(piezometer)를 설치하였다. 본 연구에서 적용된 GPR 실험은 획득된 이미지의 해석에 다소 어려움이 있지만 토양을 교란시키지 않고 비교적 간편하게 함수랑 및 지하수면의 위치를 파악하는데 매우 효과적이며, 추가적으로 GPR을 이용한 다양한 실험이 수행된다면 GPR 기술은 향후 기존 방법에서 쉽게 판단하기 어려운 시${\cdot}$공간적인 함수량 및 지하수의 분포 특성을 효율적으로 파악하는데 매우 큰 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

  • 본 연구에서는 정상초음파의 간섭에 의해 야기되는 프로판/공기 예혼합화염의 사각관내 전파거동 및 구조안정화를 규명하기 위한 실험결과를 제시한다. 전파화염의 이미지는 고속카메라를 이용하여 획득하였으며, 이미지 후처리를 통해 정상초음파 유무에 따른 화염선단의 구조변이와 전파속도를 상세히 관찰하였다. 전파속도는 정상초음파가 교반하는 경우 증가하였으며, 이론당량비에서 벗어남에 따라 초음파의 영향은 보다 크게 발현하였다. 정상초음파에 의한 화학반응과 혼합의 촉진은 화염선단의 형상에 대한 부력의 영향을 압도하여 화염의 구조적 안정화에 기여한다.

  • A new level set based topology optimization employing inner-front creation algorithm is presented. In the conventional level set based topology optimization, the optimum topology strongly depends on the initial level set distribution due to the incapability of inner-front creation during optimization process. In the present work, in this regard, an inner-front creation algorithm is proposed. in which the sizes. shapes. positions, and number of new inner-fronts during the optimization process can be globally and consistently identified by considering both the value of a given criterion for inner-front creation and the occupied volume (area) of material domain. To facilitate the inner-front creation process, the inner-front creation map which corresponds to the discrete valued criterion of inner-front creation is applied to the level set function. In order to regularize the design domain during the optimization process, the edge smoothing is carried out by solving the edge smoothing partial differential equation (PDE). Updating the level set function during the optimization process, in the present work, the least-squares finite element method (LSFEM) is employed. As demonstrative examples for the flexibility and usefulness of the proposed method. the level set based topology optimization considering lightweight design of 3D shell structure is carried out.
