This paper presents the thermal hydraulic performance of a three dimensional rib-roughened solar air heater (SAH) duct with the one principal wall subjected to uniform heat flux. The SAH duct has aspect ratio of 12.0 and the Reynolds number ranges from 2000 to 12000. The roughness has relative rib height of 0.045, ratio of dimple depth to print diameter of 0.5 and rib pitch ratio of 8.0. The flow attack angle is varied from $35^{\circ}$ to $70^{\circ}$. Various turbulent flow models are used for the heat transfer and fluid flow analysis and their results are compared with the experimental results for smooth surfaces. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results based on the renormalization k-epsilon model are in better outcomes compared with the experimental data. This model is used to calculate heat transfer and fluid flow in SAH duct with the compound roughness of V-shaped ribs and dimples. The overall thermal performance based on equal pumping power is found to be the highest (2.18) for flow attack angle of $55^{\circ}$. The thermo-hydraulic performance for V-pattern shaped ribs combined with dimple ribs is higher than that for dimple rib shape and V-pattern rib shape air duct.

The effects of meteorological and reclaiming conditions on the reduction of suspended particles are investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence closure scheme based on the renormalization group (RNG) theory. Twelve numerical experiments with different meteorological and reclaiming conditions are performed. For identifying the meteorological characteristics of the target area and providing the inflow conditions of the CFD model, the observed data from the automatic weather station (AWS) near the target area is analyzed. Complicated flow patterns such as flow distortion, horse-shoe vortex, recirculation zone, and channeling flow appeared due to the topography and buildings in the domain. Specially, the flow characteristics around the reclamation area are affected by the reclaiming height, reclaiming size and windbreak height. Reclaiming height affected the wind speed above the reclaiming area. Windbreak induces more complicated flow patterns around the reclaiming area as well as within the reclaiming area. In front of the windbreak, flow is distorted as it impinges on the windbreak. As a result, upward flow is generated there. Behind the windbreak, a secondary circulation, so called, a recirculation zone is generated and flow is reattached at the end of the recirculation zone (reattachment point). At the lower part of the recirculation zone, there is a reverse flow toward the windbreak. Flow passing to the reattachment point starts to be recovered. Total amounts of suspended particles are calculated using the frictional and threshold frictional velocities, erosion potential function, and the number of surface disturbance. In the case of a 10 m-reclaiming and northerly wind, the amount of suspended particles is largest. In the presence of 5 m windbreak, the friction velocity above the reclaiming area is largely reduced. As a result, the total amount of the suspended particles largely decreases, compared to the case with the same reclaiming and meteorological conditions except for the windbreak The calculated suspended particle amounts are used as the emission rate of the dispersion model simulations and the dispersion characteristics of the suspended particles are analyzed.

1. Objective There has been a few trials to diagnose Sasang Constitution by using EEG, but has not been studied intensively. For the purpose of practical diagnosis, the characteristics of EEG for each constitution should be studied first. Recently it has been shown that Sasang Constitution might be related to harm avoidance and novelty seeking in temperament and character profiles. Based on this finding, we propose a visual stimulation method to evoke a EEG response which may discriminate difference between constitutional groups. Through the experiment with this method, we tried to reveal the characteristics of EEG of each constitutional groups by the method of event-related potentials. 2. Methods: We used facial visual stimulation to verify the characteristics of EEG for each constitutional groups. To reveal characteristic in sensitivity and latency of response, we added several levels of noise to facial images. 6 male subjects(2 Taeeumin, 2 Soyangin, 2 Soeumin) participated in this study. All subjects are healthy 20's. To remove artifacts and slow modulation, we removed EOG contaminated data and renormalization is applied. To extract stimulation related components, normalized event-related potential method was used. 3. Results: From Oz channels, it is verified that facial image processing components are extracted. For lower level noise, components related to the visual stimulation were clearly shown in Oz, Pz, and Cz channels. Pz and Cz channels show differences among 3 constitutional groups in maximum around 200 msec. Especially moderate level of noise looks appropriate for diagnosis. 4. Conclusion: We verified that the visual stimulation with facial emotion might be a good candidate to evoke the differences between constitutional groups in EEG response. The differences shown in the experiment may imply that the process of emotion has distinct tendencies in latencies and sensitivity for each consitutional group. And this distinction might be related to the temperament profile of consitutional groups.

강우는 수문 순환에서 중요한 요소 중에 하나로 시 공간적 변동성이 크므로 정확한 공간 강우장의 파악이 요구된다. 열대강우 관측 위성(Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission, TRMM)에서 제공하는 3B43 월 누적 강우량 자료는 25 km의 공간 해상도를 갖고 있어 공간 강우장의 정확성을 높이기 위해 상세화 기법을 적용하여 1 km의 공간 해상도로 생성하였다. Terra 위성에 탑재된 MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers) 센서가 제공하는 정규식생지수(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI) (공간 해상도 1 km)와 강우 자료의 관계성을 회귀식으로 나타냈고 상세화 기법에 적용하였다. 이에 따른 결과를 지점과 위성 강우 자료와의 차이를 통해 보정하는 방법인 GDA (Geographical Difference Analysis)와 지점과 위성 강우 자료와의 비율로 편차를 보정하는 GRA (Geographical Ratio Analysis) 상세화 기법을 사용하여 공간 강우장을 나타내었다. 우리나라의 공간 강우장 결과를 지점 자료를 기준으로 비교 검증을 실시하였다. 그 결과 GDA 상세화 기법의 경우가 2009년(Bias=4.26 mm, RMSE=172.16 mm, MAE=141.95 mm, IOA=0.64), 2011년(Bias=17.21 mm, RMSE=253.43 mm, MAE=310.56 mm, IOA=0.62)으로 가장 잘 맞는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 우리나라의 공간 강우장을 1 km의 공간 해상도로 파악할 수 있었으며, 더 나아가 지점의 수를 늘려 보정을 정밀하게 하거나, 강우 레이더 자료를 가지고 상세화 기법을 적용한다면 더욱 정확한 공간 강우장을 파악할 수 있을 것이다.
