In this work, the results obtained from the simulation of sedimentation of an elliptical cylinder in a viscous fluid are presented. The fluid flow velocity and pressure fields are evaluated by the famous lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). A smoothed profile method (SPM) is considered to enforce the no-slip boundary condition at the curved boundaries of the elliptical cylinder. The coupling between LBM LBM: Lattice Boltzmann Method and SPM SPM: Smoothed Profile Method is done by adding a hydrodynamic force term to the discretized version of the lattice Boltzmann equation. At first, the developed numerical code is validated by applying it to the unbounded laminar flow over an elliptical cylinder for different values of Reynolds number, Re. Later, simulations are carried out for sedimentation of an elliptical particle in a closed enclosure by considering different values for Re defined by terminal settling velocity of the cylinder. The robustness and accuracy of present simulation technique is assessed by comparing the particle trajectories and orientations obtained at different Re with the results from the existing literature. It is observed that, over a period of time, the particle attains steady state constant velocity and sediments horizontally when Re is low (Re=1.9) and moderate (Re=12.6). Whereas, an oscillating pattern for the sedimentation velocity is observed when Re is 32.9.

The fluctuating wind pressure of the low rise ratio(f/D=0.1) for the elliptical dome roof was analyzed to compare it with the previous studies of circular dome roofs. Wind tunnel test were conducted on a total of 10 wind directions from 0° to 90° while changing wall height-span ratios(H/D=0.1-0.5). For this, meanCP, rmsCP and wind pressure spectrum were analyzed. The analysis result leads to find differences in the shape of the spectra in the spanwise direction and leeward of the elliptical dome according to the wind direction variations of the elliptical dome roof.

This study investigates the wind pressure characteristics of elliptical plan retractable dome roof. Wind tunnel experiments were performed on spherical dome roofs with varying wall height-span ratios (0.1~0.5) and opening ratios (0%, 10%, 30% and 50%), similar to previous studies of cirular dome roofs. In previous study, wind pressure coefficients for open dome roofs have been proposed since there are no wind load criteria for open roofs. However, in the case of Eeliptical plan retractable dome roof, the wind pressure coefficient may be largely different due to the presence of the longitudinal direction and transverse direction. The analysis results leads to the exceeding of maximum and minimum wind pressure coefficients KBC2016 code.

In the previous study, a shooting trajectory assuming that the purse seine shooting trajectory is a circle was proposed based on the speed and direction of the movement of the fish school. However, in practice, a trajectory that is closer to an elliptical shape than a circular one is often formed. In this study, the existing circular trajectory and the elliptical trajectory methods were compared under the same conditions to confirm the effectiveness of elliptical shooting trajectory. In addition, changes in the eccentricity of ellipses were derived to assess which type of ellipse was appropriate as a shooting trajectory. When a high-speed fish school moves in a straight line, an elliptical shooting trajectory with the eccentricity of 0.7 to 0.9 will be reasonable, and for middle-low speed fish school, an elliptical shooting trajectory with the eccentricity of 0.4 to 0.6 will be more useful than a circle shooting trajectory.

송국리문화의 핵심적 요소인 송국리형주거지는 알려진 바와 같이 내부시설로서 爐가 확인되지 않는 매우 특이한 주거형태이다. 이러한 노부재에 대한 의견은 구체적인 형태는 알 수 없지만 노가 존재하였다는 ‘노존재설’과 노가 주거지시설에서 사라지거나 야외로 이동했다고 보는 ‘노부재설’로 크게 나누어 진다. 필자는 후자의 입장에서 송국리형주거지의 발생으로 대표되는 송국리문화의 발생 원인으로는 청동 기시대 기원전 10세기 이후 중기 한랭화라는 기후변화와 관련성이 있는 것으로 판단한다. 기온의 하강은 생계에 있어서는 농경에 대한 집중력을 높이고, 생활에 있어서는 주거규모를 축소함과 동시에 주거지 내부의 노를 외부로 이동하는 대신 공동취사를 통해 조직의 효율성을 높이려 했다. 상대적으로 잔존상태가 양호한 영남지방 충적지취락의 사례로 살펴볼 때, 노는 주거와 일대일이 아닌 공동취사를 위한 일정한 곳에 밀집된 방식으로 운영하였음이 그 증거이다. 이렇게 주거내 노를 제거한 상태에서 겨울 추위에 대한 대비로 일부지역의 경우 주거지의 깊이를 깊게 하는 방식으로 해결하려 한 행위도 확인된다. 청동기시대 중기 송국리문화라는 새로운 문화가 출현하게 된 배경에는 기후변화라는 현실적인 환경적 변화가 직면하여 당시인들은 주거 내부에서 노를 과감하게 외부로 이동시킨 송국리형주거로서 위기를 극복하려고 하였다.
