of actual and suspicious black-ice cases that occurred during the last 10 years in the Republic of Korea. METHODS : Based on literature review, meteorological observation data associated with black-ice formation are selected: wind speed, air temperature (T), dew point temperature (Td), and relative humidity, to set minimum or maximum threshold values based on the normal distribution of each variable. In addition, weights are assigned based on the relationship among the variables to calculate the probability of occurrence. RESULTS : The threshold values are calculated using the average and standard deviation, resulting in 7.65 °C, 56.63%, 2.99 ms-1 for T-Td, relative humidity, and wind speed, respectively. Whereas the threshold value of T-Td and wind speed is set to the maximum threshold, that of the relative humidity is set to the minimum threshold value. These threshold values are applied to the diagnosis algorithm of black-ice formation, including a 1-h accumulated precipitation. CONCLUSIONS : The algorithm is expected to be utilized as a research methodology for diagnosing suspected cases of black ice.

PURPOSES : This study aims to determine the type (e.g., melting point, freezing point, latent heat fusion) and optimal content of phase change material (PCM) based on the numerical and experimental analyses evaluating the effects of heat transfer in PCM-modified asphalt pavement systems. METHODS : The effect of PCM on the thermophysical properties of PCM-modified asphalt concrete can be taken as an effective volumetric heat capacity. The volumetric fraction of PCM was calculated using an iterative method. The numerical model was established and computed using the MATLAB 2020 software. The optimum PCM design tool was developed to select the type and contents of the PCM. The PCM was chosen based on the following criteria: black-ice-formation delay time, minimize temperature increase, and increase temperature area. To validate the numerical model, asphalt mixtures were modified with varying PCM contents, and the temperature response of the PCMmodified asphalt samples was examined via temperature test. RESULTS : The numerical results showed that incorporating PCM into the asphalt mixture can slow the cooling rate of the pavement system. The predicted results from the optimum PCM design tool were highly consistent with the measured values from the laboratory temperature test. CONCLUSIONS : The temperature of PCM-modified asphalt pavement can be predicted via numerical method. The effect of PCM on the thermophysical properties can be considered as effective volumetric heat capacity; while the volume fraction of PCM can be calculated via an iterative method. The accuracy of the numerical model was confirmed by a high agreement between the measured and predicted values.

본 연구에서는 2006년 1월부터 2009년 2월까지 자연 상태에서 만들어진 솟는 고드름(n=107)을 관측, 분석하여 실험실에서 솟는 고드름을 재현할 수 있는 실험 장치를 개발했다. 이 장치를 이용하여 동영상 관측과 실험(531개의 솟는 고드름 생성)을 통해 그 생성과 성장 원리를 연구했다. 용기의 아래 부분이 위쪽 보다 더 차가운 상태에서 용기 바닥과 물 표면에서부터 얼음이 얼기 시작하는데, 표면에서 얼음이 얼지 않는 부분을 숨구멍이라고 하며 이곳으로부터 솟는 고드름이 만들어지기 시작한다. 솟는 고드름이 만들어지기 시작한 후 계속 성장하기 위해서는 용기 하부의 물이 얼음으로 변할 때의 부피 팽창 효과와 숨구멍을 통해 올라오는 과냉각수의 빠른 빙결 효과 등이 관련된다. 실험 장치에서 아이스 트레이 큐브에 증류수를 넣고, -12- -13˚C의 온도를 약 1시간 30분 정도 유지시키면 수면에 살얼음과 숨구멍이 생기기 시작한다. 숨구멍으로부터 생기기 시작한 솟는 고드름은 10-30분 동안 성장하고, 끝이 막히면서 성장을 멈춘다. 솟는 고드름의 형태는 7가지로 분류되며 자연 상태에서는 꼭지형과 기운형이 많았고, 실험실에서는 수직형이 가장 많았다.

A long-term in situ observation was carried out in the Ice-valley at Milyang in order to explain the factors and processes associated with the summertime ice formation. The variation of temperature inside Ice-valley in relation with ice formation in summer time was found to depend on precipitation rate in spring and cold air sinking in autumn and winter. The rate of temperature rising tends to correspond to sensible heat release depending on the precipitation amount at the freezing location. The reason of the cold air accumulation in a talus in the Ice-valley is the cold air sinking over the surface of talus due to the occurrence of outside clod air mass and the accumulated cold air from autumn to spring flow outside at the bottom of talus. The out-flowing cold air can result in the ice formation in the hot summer.

Freezing rain is a phenomenon when precipitation falls as a liquid rain drop, but freezes when it comes into contact with surfaces or objects. In this study, we investigated the predictability of freezing rain and its characteristics, which are strongly related with the occurrence of black ice using synoptic scale meteorological observation data. Two different cases occurred at 2012 were analyzed and in the presented cases, freezing rain often occurs in the low-level low pressure with the warm front. The warm front due to the lower cyclone make suitable environment in which snow falling from the upper layer can change into supercooled water. The 0℃ temperature line to generate supercooling water is located at an altitude of 850 hPa in the vertical temperature distribution. And the ground temperature remained below zero, as is commonly known as a condition for black ice formation. It is confirmed that the formation rate of freezing rain is higher when the thickness after 1000-850 hPa is 1290-1310 m and the thickness of 850-700 hPa layer is larger than 1540 m in both cases. It can also be used to predict and estimate the generation of freezing rain by detecting and analyzing bright bands in radar observation.

최근 지구 온난화와 더불어 급격한 기후 변화 등으로 여름철 주간 냉방 수요가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 이에 따른 전력 수요량 또한 증가하고 있다. 이런 이유로 세계적으로 에너지 이용 효율 향상에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있고, 최근 국내 및 국외의 축냉시스템을 이용한 주간 전력 피크값을 최소화 하는 연구개발과 실제 적용 사례가 늘어나고 있다. 빙축열시스템의 경우 그 경제적 효과가 높아 그 관심이 높아지고 있는 추세이다. 축냉시스템은 주간 냉방에 사용하는 냉열을 야간에 만들어 탱크에 저장해 두었다가 그것을 낮에 이용함으로써, 갑작스런 부하 증가에 적절히 대응할 수 있는 등 여러 가지 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 실험에서는 슬러리아이스 생성을 위해 냉각표면에서 생성된 슬러리아이스를 분리시키기 위해 유체보다 밀도가 낮은 역전유동 물질을 삽입하여 역전 유동층을 형성하였으며, 역전유동층의 유동에 의해 관군으로 구성되어 있는 냉각튜브 표면에 빙부착이 심화되기 전에 얼음 입자를 분리시켜 수 내지 수십 미크론 단위의 슬러리아이스를 생성하도록 하였다.

The meteorological elements were measured to investigate cause of summertime ice formation at Unchiri, Gangwon Province. The cause of freezing at valley was conformed as adiabatic expansion theory, latent heat of evaporation, natural convective theory, cold air remain theory, and convective freezing theory according to former study. However nither theory produced a satisfactory explanation. This studying area is not valley but ridge, and underground water surface exists at below than freezing height. wintertime temperature drop and summertime cold air spouting were explain as natural convective theory, generation of water drop on the rock was explained as cooling theory by air expansion, and ice formation on the rock was explained as adiabatic expansion theory. In conclusion, formation of ice valley at Unchiri was formed by natural convective theory, adiabatic expansion theory, and latent heat of evaporation successively.
