A reactor coolant pump (RCP) is essential for transporting coolant in the primary loop of pressurized water reactors. In the advanced passive reactor, the absence of a long pipeline between the steam generator and RCP serves as a transition section, resulting in a non-uniform flow field at the pump inlet. Therefore, the characteristics of the pump should be investigated under non-uniform flow to determine its influence on the pump. In this study, the pressure pulsation characteristics were examined in the time and frequency domains, and the sources of low-frequency and high-amplitude signals were analyzed using wavelet coherence analysis and numerical simulation. From computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results, non-uniform inflow has a great effect on the flow structures in the pump's inlet. The pressure pulsation in the pump at the rated flow increased by 78-128.7% under the non-uniform inflow condition in comparison with that observed under the uniform inflow condition. Furthermore, a low-frequency signal with a high amplitude was observed, whose energy increased significantly under non-uniform flow. The wavelet coherence and CFD analysis verified that the source of this signal was the low-frequency pulsating vortex under the steam generator.

시뮬레이션에서 모델의 검증 문제는 그 모델의 신뢰성을 의미하며, 그에 따라 모형의 정당성을 입증하는 가장 중요한 열쇠 중 하나이다. 하지만 지금까지 연구된 다양한 방법들 중 시계열형태의 자료를 이용한 검증 방법론은 개념적인 측면에서는 정립되었으나 구체적인 기법에 대한 연구는 부족한 상태이다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 Wavelet 변환과 Power Spectrum을 이용한 시계열 데이터의 시뮬레이션 검증 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 첫 번째로 비주기적인 신호분리가 가능한 Wavelet 변환을 이용하여 스펙트럼을 추출하고, 두 번째로 스펙트럼 분석을 이용하여 실제 시스템에서 출력 데이터의 패턴이 시뮬레이션을 통해 나온 패턴과 일치하는지의 여부를 Coherence를 이용해 검정하였다. 실제 사례를 통하여 다른 검증방법들과 비교한 결과, 시뮬레이션 모델링의 완성도에 따른 모델의 일치도 여부를 보다 명확하게 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법을 통해, 하나의 통계량을 통한 검증이 아닌 한 구간별 검증을 통해 지금까지의 획일적인 타당성 검증 방법에서는 할 수 없었던 다양한 상황에서의 시뮬레이션 모형의 타당성 검증이 가능하게 하였다.

Jamming countermeasures are used to decrease or prevent the impact of intentional jamming applied to degrade the quality of information provided by a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. The maximum performance of jamming countermeasure can be obtained only when a proper technique is applied according to the type of jammer. This paper suggests a jamming identification technique for providing information regarding the type of jamming. The center frequency and bandwidth of jammer signal are inconsistent and may change according to time, and thus a spectral correlation function and wavelet coherence were considered in order to analyze the signal in the time and frequency space. Because the two characteristics derive different analysis results, two different identification techniques were suggested and the performances thereof were analyzed. Numerical results show that the two identification techniques have relative advantages and disadvantages as to time consumed and performance. The suggested methods can sufficiently identify the jammer before the GNSS receiver becomes inoperable because of jamming.

The wavelet analysis method is introduced in this paper to study the nonstationary vibration of vehicles. A new road model, a so-called time domain correlated four-wheel road roughness, which considers the coherence relationships between the four wheels of a vehicle, has been newly developed. Based on a vehicle model with eight degrees of freedom, the analysis of nonstationary random vibration responses was carried out in a time domain on a computer. Verification of the simulation results show that the proposed road model is more accurate than previous ones and that the simulated responses are credible enough when compared with some references. Furthermore, by taking wavelet analysis on simulated signals, some substantial rules of vehicle nonstationary vibration, such as the relationship between each vibration level, and how the vibration energy flows on a time-frequency map, beyond those from conventional spectral analysis, were revealed, and these will be of much benefit to vehicle design.

The study explored droughts using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) in the northwestern region of Bangladesh, which is the drought prone area. In order to assess the trend and variability of monthly rainfall, as well as 3-month scale SPI, non-parametric Mann-Kendall (MK) tests and continuous wavelet transform were used respectively. The effect of climatic parameters on the drought in this region was also evaluated using SPI, with the Southern Oscilation Index (SOI) by means of the wavelet coherence technique, a relatively new and powerful tool for describing processes. The MK test showed no statistically significant monthly rainfall trends in the selected stations, whereas the seasonal MK test showed a declining rainfall trend in Bogra, Ishurdi, Rangpur and Sayedpur stations respectively. Sen's slope of six stations also provided a decreasing rainfall trend. The trend of the SPI, as well as Sen's slope indicated an increasing dryness trend in this area. Dominant periodicity of 3-month scale SPI at 8 to 16 months, 16 to 32 months, and 32 to 64 months were observed in the study area. The outcomes from this study contribute to hydrologists to establish strategies, priorities and proper use of water resources.

에너지는 경제활동과 사람들의 삶에 있어서 필수적인 요소이고 다양한 산업에서 활용하고 있는 중요한 자원이며 상품 시장의 금융화로 인해 원유가 다른 자산과 동일한 자산으로 변함으로써 그 중요성이 커지고 있다. 이에 따라 에너지 가격과 투자 심리간의 상관관계를 분석한 연구들은 대부분 경제적 요인과 투기를 통해 투자 심리가 유가에 영향을 미친다고 설명하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 에너지 가격과 관련하여 가장 대표적인 유가 변동에 따른 충격이 투자자 의사결정에 영향을 미쳐 투자 심리 변화에 영항을 주는가에 대한 내용을 중심으로 전반적인 에너지 가격 변동이 투자 심리에 영향을 미치는가에 대한 내용을 분석하고자 하였으며, 에너지 가격이 투자 심리에 어떠한 연관성이 있는지를 파악하기 위하여 웨이블릿 일관성 분석(wavelet coherence analysis)을 적용하여 주기별(단기, 중기, 장기) 에너지 가격이 투자 심리를 예측할 수 있는지를 분석하였다. 연구결과 에너지 가격과 투자 심리 사이의 시간 척도별로 차이가 발생하며 투자 심리 안정화를 위해 정책은 시간 척도별 효과를 고려하여야 하며, 에너지 가격과 관련한 투자 심리의 영향력은 단기보다 장기에서 더 크게 나타나고 있으며 마지막으로 시장에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 특정 사건 등이 발생하는 경우 에너지 가격과 투자 심리의 관련성 차이가 발생하기 때문에 이를 감안한 정책 및 시장 변화에 집중해야 할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The recorded thunderstorm winds at a point contain tri-directional components. The probabilistic characteristics of such recorded winds in terms of instantaneous mean wind speed and direction, and the probability distribution and the time-frequency dependent crossed and non-crossed power spectral density functions for the high-frequency fluctuating wind components are unclear. In the present study, we analyze the recorded tri-directional thunderstorm wind components by separating the recorded winds in terms of low-frequency time-varying mean wind speed and high-frequency fluctuating wind components in the alongwind direction and two orthogonal crosswind directions. We determine the time-varying mean wind speed and direction defined by azimuth and elevation angles, and analyze the spectra of high-frequency wind components in three orthogonal directions using continuous wavelet transforms. Additionally, we evaluate the coherence between each pair of fluctuating winds. Based on the analysis results, we develop empirical spectral models and lagged coherence models for the tri-directional fluctuating wind components, and we indicate that the fluctuating wind components can be treated as Gaussian. We show how they can be used to generate time histories of the tri-directional thunderstorm winds.

To preserve the spatial consistency of low-level features, generalized Riesz-wavelet transform (GRWT) is adopted for fusing multi-modality images. The proposed method can capture the directional image structure arbitrarily by exploiting a suitable parameterization fusion model and additional structural information. Its fusion patterns are controlled by a heuristic fusion model based on image phase and coherence features. It can explore and keep the structural information efficiently and consistently. A performance analysis of the proposed method applied to real-world images demonstrates that it is competitive with the state-of-art fusion methods, especially in combining structural information.
