선박은 운항 중 다른 선박과 조우하며, 정해진 규정에 따라 대응해야 한다. 그러나 이러한 기준은 큰 원칙만 있을 뿐 구체적인 수치는 제시하지 않고 있다. 그러므로 큰 원칙에 따라 선박운항자의 판단에 따라 선박은 대응한다. 선박운항자는 자신이 승선한 선박의 상황에 맞춰 대응하기 때문에 일반 상선운항자와 소형선박운항자의 이격거리에 대한 인식은 다를 수가 있다. 본 연구는 일반 상선운항자 와 소형선박 운항자의 횡단 관계 시 이격거리에 대한 인식차이를 분석하고자 했다. 이를 위해 해상교통조사를 수행하고 선박운항자 대상 설문조사를 수행했다. 해상교통조사 결과, 가덕수도를 통항하는 선박은 선수방향에 약 300m의 이격거리를 통항하고 있었으며, 설문조사 결과 소형선박운항자의 안전거리가 일반 상선운항자의 위험거리보다 짧은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 선박크기별로 적정 이격거리는 차이가 있어야 하며, 선박 길이와 관계없이 타선박과 일정한 이격거리가 필요함을 확인했다.

This study compares optimization algorithms for efficient estimations of ship's hydrodynamic coefficients. Two constrained algorithms, the interior point and the sequential quadratic programming, are compared for the estimation. Mathematical optimization is designed to get optimal hydrodynamic coefficients for modelling a ship, and benchmark data are collected from sea trials of a training ship. A calibration for environmental influence and a sensitivity analysis for efficiency are carried out prior to implementing the optimization. The optimization is composed of three steps considering correlation between coefficients and manoeuvre characteristics. Manoeuvre characteristics of simulation results for both sets of optimized coefficients are close to each other, and they are also fit to the benchmark data. However, this similarity interferes with the comparison, and it is supposed that optimization conditions, such as designed variables and constraints, are not sufficient to compare them strictly. An enhanced optimization with additional sea trial measurement data should be carried out in future studies.

선박의 다양한 흘수 및 트림 조건은 조종성능 추정을 위한 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 세 종류의 흘수 및 트림 조건에서의 해상 시운전 자료를 바탕으로 하여 선체 유체력 미계수를 추정하였다. 시스템 식별법(system identification)의 하나인 수학적 최 적화(mathematical optimization method) 및 Rheinmetall Defense사의 선박 운동 모델을 적용한 fast time 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 이용하여 시운 전 항적데이터 및 관련 시뮬레이션 자료를 이용하여 선체 유체력 미계수를 추정하였다. 최적화 된 계수를 적용한 시뮬레이션 결과는 기존 계수 추정식을 사용한 시뮬레이션 결과와 대비하여 해상 시운전 계측 결과와 유사함을 보여주었으며 추가로 진행된 2차 검증 결과에서도 상대적으로 높은 유사함을 확인하였다.

This paper validates a system identification method using mathematical optimization using sea trial measurement data as a benchmark. A fast time simulation tool, SIMOPT, and a Rheinmetall Defence mathematical model have been adopted to conduct initial hydrodynamic coefficient estimation and simulate ship modelling. Calibration for the environmental effect of sea trial measurement and sensitivity analysis have been carried out to enable a simple and efficient optimization process. The optimization process consists of three steps, and each step controls different coefficients according to the corresponding manoeuvre. Optimization result of Step 1, an optimization for coefficient on x-axis, was similar compared to values applying an empirical regression formulae by Clarke and Norrbin, which is used for SIMOPT. Results of Steps 2 and 3, which are for linear coefficients and nonlinear coefficients, respectively, was differ from the calculation results of the method by Clarke and Norrbin. A comparison for ship trajectory of simulation results from the benchmark and optimization results indicated that the suggested stepwise optimization method enables a coefficient tuning in a mathematical way.

We report first results from KVN and VERA Array (KaVA) VLBI observations obtained in the frame of our Plasma-physics of Active Galactic Nuclei (PAGaN) project. We observed eight selected AGN at 22 and 43 GHz in single polarization (LCP) between March 2014 and April 2015. Each source was observed for 6 to 8 hours per observing run to maximize the uv coverage. We obtained a total of 15 deep high-resolution images permitting the identification of individual circular Gaussian jet components and three spectral index maps of BL Lac, 3C 111 and 3C 345 from simultaneous dual-frequency observations. The spectral index maps show trends in agreement with general expectations – flat core and steep jets – while the actual value of the spectral index for jets shows indications for a dependence on AGN type. We analyzed the kinematics of jet components of BL Lac and 3C 111, detecting superluminal proper motions with maximum apparent speeds of about 5c. This constrains the lower limits of the intrinsic component velocities to  0.98c and the upper limits of the angle between jet and line of sight to 20◦. In agreement with global jet expansion, jet components show systematically larger diameters d at larger core distances r, following the global relation d  0.2r, albeit within substantial scatter.

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with bright radio jets oer the opportunity to study the structure of and physical conditions in relativistic out ows. For such studies, multi-frequency polarimetric very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) observations are important as they directly probe particle densities, magnetic eld geometries, and several other parameters. We present results from rst-epoch data obtained by the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) within the frame of the Plasma Physics of Active Galactic Nuclei (PAGaN) project. We observed seven radio-bright nearby AGN at frequencies of 22, 43, 86, and 129 GHz in dual polarization mode. Our observations constrain apparent brightness temperatures of jet components and radio cores in our sample to > 108:01 K and > 109:86 K, respectively. Degrees of linear polarization mL are relatively low overall: less than 10%. This indicates suppression of polarization by strong turbulence in the jets. We found an exceptionally high degree of polarization in a jet component of BL Lac at 43 GHz, with mL  40%. Assuming a transverse shock front propagating downstream along the jet, the shock front being almost parallel to the line of sight can explain the high degree of polarization.
