A numerical analysis of thermal stratification in the upper plenum of the MONJU fast breeder reactor was performed. Calculations were performed for a 1/6 simplified model of the MONJU reactor using the commercial code, CFX-13. To better resolve the geometrically complex upper core structure of the MONJU reactor, the porous media approach was adopted for the simulation. First, a steady state solution was obtained and the transient solutions were then obtained for the turbine trip test conducted in December 1995. The time dependent inlet conditions for the mass flow rate and temperature were provided by JAEA. Good agreement with the experimental data was observed for steady state solution. The numerical solution of the transient analysis shows the formation of thermal stratification within the upper plenum of the reactor vessel during the turbine trip test. The temporal variations of temperature were predicted accurately by the present method in the initial rapid coastdown period (~300 seconds). However, transient numerical solutions show a faster thermal mixing than that observed in the experiment after the initial coastdown period. A nearly homogenization of the temperature field in the upper plenum is predicted after about 900 seconds, which is a much shorter-term thermal stratification than the experimental data indicates. This discrepancy may be due to the shortcoming of the turbulence models available in the CFX-13 code for a natural convection flow with thermal stratification.

Spatiotemporal precipitation data is one of the primary quantities in hydrological as well as climatological studies. Despite the fact that the estimation of these data has made considerable progress owing to advances in remote sensing, the discrepancy between satellite-derived precipitation product (SPP) data and observed data is still remarkable. This study aims to propose an effective deep learning model (DLM) for bias correction of SPPs. In which TRMM (The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission), CMORPH (CPC Morphing technique), and PERSIANN-CDR (Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks) are three SPPs with a spatial resolution of 0.25o exploited for bias correction, and APHRODITE (Asian Precipitation - Highly-Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation) data is used as a benchmark to evaluate the effectiveness of DLM. We selected the Mekong River Basin as a case study area because it is one of the largest watersheds in the world and spans many countries. The adjusted dataset has demonstrated an impressive performance of DLM in bias correction of SPPs in terms of both spatial and temporal evaluation. The findings of this study indicate that DLM can generate reliable estimates for the gridded satellite-based precipitation bias correction.

2016년 일본 구마모토 현에서는 규모 6.5, 6.4의 전진과 7.3의 본진, 그리고 2,000회 이상의 여진이 연속적으로 발생하였다. 이 지진에 의하여 큰 지표변위가 발생하였으며, 지진에 의하여 발생한 단층의 구조에 관한 연구를 위하여 3차원 지표변위 관측치가 제시된 바 있다(Baek, 2017). 그 관측치는 ALOS PALSAR-2 두 쌍의 상향궤도 위성레이더 간섭쌍(20160211_20160602, 20151119_20160616)과 한 쌍의 하향궤도 위성레이더 간섭쌍(20160307_20160418)을 활용하였다. 특히 상향궤도 간섭쌍의 다중개구간섭영상에서 존재하는 이온층 효과에 의하여 여진에 의한 지표변위가 포함되지 않은 하향궤도 다중개구간섭영상만을 활용하였다. 이 때문에 남북방향의 변위를 추출하는 데에 약 2달의 시간적 불일치가 존재하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 불일치를 저감하고 보다 정확한 단층 거동을 파악하기 위하여 상향궤도 다중개구간섭영상에 대하여 방향필터 기반 이온층 오차 저감 기법을 적용하였다. 이온층 보정 결과 여진에 의한 지표변위로 판단되는 변위 신호가 추가적으로 관측되었다. GPS 상시관측소의 지표변위 관측결과와 비교하였을 때 이온층 보정이후 9.87, 8.13 cm의 관측정밀도를 나타냈다. 이는 두 간섭쌍에 대하여 각각 기존 결과보다 4.8배, 6.4배 향상된 결과이다. 이와 같은 관측 결과는 2016 구마모토 지진을 야기한 단층의 보다 정확한 거동을 제시하는 데에 활용될 것이다.

토양온도는 비점오염과 관련된 수문학적 및 생지화학적 과정에 영향을 주는 중요한 물리적 환경인자 중 하나이다. 이 연구에서는 분포형 유역모델인 CAMEL(Chemicals, Agricultural Management and Erosion Losses)의 겨울철 토양온도 모의성능을 개선하기 위해서 융설과 토양 동결-융해 모델을 개발하였으며, 경기도 여주에 위치한 시험유역의 4개 지점에서 3개월 동안 관측한 토양온도 자료를 사용하여 모델을 보 검정하였다. 모의 결과, 표층 토양온도에 대해서는 모델이 토양온도의 시계열 변화를 비교적 잘 재현하는 반면($R^2$ 0.71~0.95, RMSE $0.89{\sim}1.49^{\circ}C$), 하부토양층 온도에 대해서는 경우에 따라 모델의 예측오차가 다소 크게 나타났는데($R^2$ 0.51~0.97, RMSE $0.51{\sim}5.08^{\circ}C$), 이것은 모델에서 토양 깊이별 토성을 동일한 것으로 가정한 것이 주요 원인인 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 개발된 모델은 융설에 의한 단열효과와 토양 동결-융해 과정에서 유입 또는 방출되는 잠열흐름의 영향으로 토양온도의 진폭이 감소하는 현상을 잘 모의하고 있다. 비록 모델 구조의 한계와 자료의 부족으로 토양온도에 대한 다소의 예측오차가 발생하였지만, 개발된 토양온도 모델은 시험유역의 토지이용 및 지형에 따른 토양온도와 적설상당수량의 시공간적 분포를 합리적으로 잘 모의하는 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigates the applicability of CADMAS-SURF (Super Roller Flume for Computer Aided Design of a MArtime Structure) code basal on the Navier-Stokes solver to predict bore phenomena. The time variation of ware levels and velocities due to the bore propagation were computed for the different bore strength conditions. In order to verify the numerical results by CADMAS-SURF, laboratory experiments were also performed, using the DPIV and LDV measuring system. The numerical results were compared to the experimental data and the analytical predictions by the NSC method basal on fully nonlinear shallow-water theory by the method of characteristics. It appears that the CADMAS-SURF slightly overestimated the water-surface level measured by the laboratory experiments and its discrepancy becomes prominent as the bore strength increases. The predicted propagation speed for a bore was also slaver than that by the experiment and NSC method. However, the temporal variations in velocities were in relatively good agreement with the experimental data for all cases, except for overshooting and undershooting in the front face of a bore, which may be derived from the numerical instability. Further, CADMAS-SURF successfully simulated the decrease in the water level and velocity caused by the effects of negative waves reflected from the upstream end wall.

The author obtained the computed tomograms around the condylar head from 10 normal subjects and 5 patients having clicking condylar head from 10 normal subjects and 5 patients having clicking sound or limitation of mouth opening by using a Hitachi-W 500. And then. the author had the axial analysis of condyle position and sagittal analysis of that after sagittal reformation on centric occlusion and 18㎜ interincisal opening. Transcranial view and submentovertex view were taken and compared with computed tomographic view. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Median angle of long axis of condylar head was 17 degrees on centric occlusion and the angles of long axis of both condylar heads were reduced symmetrically on 18㎜ interincisal opening in normal group. however. in the patient group, the affected side of condyle heads showed greater change in the angle on 18㎜ interincisal opening. 2. In the patient group, the condyle head of affected side was located superiorly to that of normal side on centric occlusion and the discrepancy of condular positional height was increased after 18㎜ interincisal opening. 3. The distances from medial pole of condylar head to triangular fossa of temporal bone were same on both right and left side in normal group, however, in the patient group, the distance of affected side was wider than that of opposite side on centric occusion and became narrower than the opposite side on 18㎜ interincisal opening. 4. The distances of posterior joint space were same on both right and left side. The distance t lateral pole 1/3 of condyle head was similar to that on transcranial view on centric occlusion in normal group. 5. The distances of posterior joint space were narrower in patient group than in normal group. 6. Conclusively, the affected condylar head of patient showed postero-latero-superior displacement on centric occlusion and larger range of rotational movement on 18㎜ interincisal opening.

제주해협내에 설정한 3개의 남북 단면상에 배열한 13개의 관측정점과 기타 4개의 제주항 부근의 연안정점에서 $1986\~1989$년까지 실시한 해류계에 의한 해류조사결과와 $1981\~1987$년 사이에 실시된 해류판 추적조사, 일반해양관측 등에 의하여 얻어진 자료들을 종합적으로 분석하여 정리한 제주해협의 유황을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 제주해협내에는 주로 동$\~$북동류의 항류가 있어, 해협 서쪽 입구의 전단면을 통하여 해협내로 유입된 해수가 동쪽 입구의 전단면을 통하여 유출되고 있으며, 이 항류의 유속은 10m층에서 $5.2cm/sec\~30cm/sec$이고, 중${\cdot}$저층은 $1.3\~24cm/sec$로 대체로 해협의 심소 및 제주도 북측에 강류대가 있고, 추자도 및 보길도 부근의 연안 천소에 악한 항류가 있다. 2. 제주해협 서쪽 입구의 전단면에서 실측한 항류의 하계 평균유속은 6.93cm/sec로, 이것을 기초로 계산한 이 단면의 해수수송량은 $0.384\times10^6\;m^3/sec(Sv)$이며, 단면의 항류분포와 지형류 유속 분포간에는 많은 차를 보였다. 3. 추자도 북서쪽의 전선역에서는 밀물 때는 북향류에 의해 고온${\cdot}$고염분의 외해수가 5mile정도 연안역으로 이동 하지만, 썰물 때는 북상 거리만큼 다시 남하하지 않고 동$\~$남동향류 때문에, 연안수와 혼합하면서 전선북쪽의 연안역으로 이동하므로, 결과적으로 추자도 북서해역은 제주도 서방해역으로 부터 북상해온 외해수가 한국남해연안수내로 유입하는 창구가 되며, 이것을 일으키는 주된 작용은 항류가 아닌 조류이다.

기후변화가 우리나라의 논 관개요구량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기상연구소의 SRES A2 시나리오에 대한 고해상도 ($27{\times}27\;km$) 기후 자료와 기준년도 (1971~2000)의 관측 기상자료를 이용하였다. 기상연구소가 전지구모형 ECHO-G 예측자료를 MM5 모형으로 역학적으로 상세화한 결과를 이용하였다. 논 관개요구량의 공간적인 변화를 분석하기 위하여 GIS 기법을 이용하였다. 연구결과는 벼 생육기간의 평균기온은 기준년도에 비해 $1.5^{\circ}C$ (2020s), $3.3^{\circ}C$ (2050s) 및 $5.3^{\circ}C$ (2080s) 상승할 것으로 예측되었다. 벼 생육기간의 강우량은 0.1% (2020s), 4.9% (2050s) 및 19.3% (2080s) 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 영농 형태와 논 면적이 변하지 않는다고 가정하면 우리나라 논의 총 관개용수량은 2.8% (2020s), 4.9% (2050s) 및 4.5% (2080s) 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 총 관개용수량이 다소 감소할 것으로 예측한 다른 연구결과와는 상반된 결과를 나타내었으며, 그 주원인은 사용된 GCM에 따른 기후 예측치의 차이에서 온 것으로 판단된다. 관개용수량의 시공간적 변동성이 큰 것으로 나타났으며 이는 앞으로 관개계획과 물 관리에서 고려되어야 할 것이다.

To figure out the decay characteristics of naturally occurring radionuclides, eight sampled groundwaters from a monitoring borehole having high levels of uranium and radon concentrations in a two mica granitic area have analyzed by liquid scintillation counters (LSC) for over 1 year. In December 2011, three groundwater samples (DJ1, DJ2, DJ3) were obtained from each aquifer system located at -20 m, -40 m, -60 m of the monitoring borehole below the ground surface, respectively. Five samples (DJ4, DJ5, DJ6, DJ7, DJ8) were additionally gained from each aquifer positioned -20 m, -40 m, -60 m, -100 m, -105 m of the borehole in February 2012, respectively. Temporal variation characteristics of uranium and radon concentrations have showed over maximum 2.1 times and 1.4 times fluctuations of the values in the same sampling intervals over time, respectively. The intervals of -40 m and -105 m in the borehole have the highest values of uranium and radon concentrations, respectively. This may imply that the concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides such as uranium and radon in groundwater have been changed over time and indicate that the qualities of groundwaters from the aquifers developed at each interval in the borehole are different each other. This discrepancy, moreover, could be caused by behaviour differences between uranium which is in ionic status having a half life of 4.6 billion years and is transported along with the flowing groundwater, and radon which is in gaseous status having a 3.82 day's half life in the aquifer systems. Physicochemical characteristics of groundwaters from the aquifer systems could be identified by the results of the on-situ measuring items such as pH and Eh, and the major ionic contents. The CPM values of eight groundwater samples analysed by LSC over one year have shown not to follow the theoretical decay curve of the radon. The CPM values of the samples have ranged from 2 to 7.5 after it had passed two months when the theoretical CPM values of the radon started zero since the initial analysis. Alpha and beta particle spectrums have shown the peaks of radium-226, however they have not revealed any peaks of radon and it's daughter products such as polonium-218 and 214, bismuth-214 for the late stage of the analysis. This implies that the groundwater from the borehole may contain radium-226 having a half life of 1,600 years which decays continuously.
