Active Galactic Nuclei Feedback at the Parsec Scale

Abstract We perform simulations to study the effects of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) radiation and wind feedback on the properties of slowly rotating accretion flow at the parsec scale. We find that when only radiative feedback is considered, outflows can be produced by the radiation pressure due to Thomson scattering. The mass flux of outflow is comparable to that of inflow. Although strong outflow is present, the luminosity of the AGN can be easily super-Eddington. When wind feedback is also taken into account, the mass flux of outflow does not change much. Consequently, the luminosity of the central AGN can still be super-Eddington. However, observations show that the luminosity of most AGNs is sub-Eddington. Some other mechanisms are needed to reduce the AGNs’ luminosity. Although the mass outflow rate is not changed much by wind feedback, other properties of outflow (the density, temperature, velocity, and kinetic power) can be significantly changed by wind feedback. In the presence of wind feedback, the density of outflow becomes significantly lower, the temperature of outflow becomes significantly higher, the velocity of outflow is increased by one order of magnitude, and the kinetic power of outflow is increased by a factor of 40–100.

CSOs 제어를 위한 기준강우 및 차집 용량 산정

하천으로 유입되는 합류식월류수(Combined Sewer Overflows, CSOs)는 하천의 수질 오염에 영향을 끼치게 되며 월류량은 차집관거의 설계용량에 따라서 결정되어진다. 따라서 차집관거의 기준 용량은 강우 유출의 특성 및 수질을 고려하여 합리적으로 결정되어야한다. 그러나 국내의 차집관거 기준 용량은 일괄적으로 시간최대오수량의 3배로 책정되어있으며, 강우-유출의 특성을 고려하지 않은 채 모든 지역에 대하여 균일하게 적용되어왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강우유출 특성을 고려하여 강우 데이터에 대한 통계적 분석을 통하여 차집관거의 기준 용량을 결정하기 위한 기준 강우를 산정하였다. 서울지역의 평균개념의 확률강우량을 통하여 산정된 기준강우의 지속시간은 4hr이며 강우량은 재현기간 1.5년에 해당하는 6.76mm로 산정되었다. 또한 산정된 기준 강우를 적용하여 강우유출 특성 분석은 SWMM을 이용하였으며 이를 통하여 CSOs를 계산하였다. The combined sewer overflows(COSs) which enters to river are involved with water pollution of rivers. Therefore, the standard capacity should be decided in proper standard considering water pollution density and characteristic of outflow. But in domestic, the standard capacity is not considered the characteristics of rainfall-outflows and is applied uniformly in all areas. The standard is triple of a maximum amount of sewage per one hour ; 3Q. The outflow of 3Q enters to sewage treatment plant and the overflows enter to river. In this study, a standard rainfall is estimated to determine the capacity of intercepting sewer by statistical analysis of rainfall data and it is considered about the regional characteristic of the rainfall-outflow. The standard rainfall is analyzed through the data of Seoul. In the result the standard rainfall was 6.76mm of 4hr duration. The rainfall-outflows and CSOs are analyzed using SWMM(Storm Water Management Model).

A Model Analysis of the Behavior of the Mediterranean Water in the North Atlantic

Abstract The behavior of the Mediterranean Water in the North Atlantic Ocean sector of a global ocean general circulation model is explored, starting from its entry point at the Strait of Gibraltar. The analysis focuses primarily on one experiment in which explicit watermass exchange between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic at the Strait of Gibraltar is permitted. The model produces an exchange rate of approximately 1 Sv (Sv ≡ 106 m3 s−1). This is comparable to estimates derived from field measurements. The density of the Mediterranean outflow, however, is lower than observed, mainly because of its high temperature (more than 2°C higher than in reality). The lower density of the outflow and the model’s inadequate representation of the entrainment mixing in the outflow region cause the Mediterranean Water to settle in a depth range ∼800–1000 m in the North Atlantic, about 200 m shallower than observed. Here an interesting current system forms in response to the intrusion of the Mediterranean Water, involving three main pathways. In the first, the Mediterranean Water heads roughly westward across the basin and joins the deep western boundary current. In the second, the water travels northward along the eastern boundary reaching as far as Iceland, where it turns westward to participate in the deep circulation of the subpolar gyre. In the third, the water initially moves westward to the central Atlantic just north of 30°N before turning northwestward to reach an upwelling region at the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. At this location, the saline Mediterranean Water is drawn upward to the ocean upper layer and entrained into the North Atlantic Current system flowing to the northeastern basin; part of the current system enters the Nordic seas.
