Industrial Problems II(5482)-(spring 2002)----- Yong Jung Kim -----

Research Project 1 : Air pollution in Far East Asia

Pretend that you are submitting a research proposal to the Korean or Japanese government. So the people who are going to read your proposal is not an expert in air quality modeling, but have lots of money.

You are supposed to include some numerical computations of model cases (1-D and 2-d) to show that this research is promising. So you need to set up the situation of numerical computation to show the importance of the research. You need to explain the meaning of the result to those people who are not experts. You also have to explain the scheme you have used in plain English. You also have to present the future research if the government provides the fund you want.

Your project will be graded from 2 view points.
1. The quality of computation results (40%)
2. Analysis of the results (30 %)
3. The way you persuade the people. (30 %)

(If you use your own coding or other computational tools, then you will get extra 10%)
