개수로 흐름 해석을 위해 수치모형을 적용할 때 반드시 거쳐야 하는 과정이 격자망을 구성하는 일이다. 불규칙한 형상의 자연수로를 모의할 때 격자망 생성은 쉬운 일이 아니며, 따라서 가시적으로 격자망 생성을 돕고, 격자망의 수정도 용이한 도구가 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수심적분된 흐름방정식을 지배방정식으로 하여 개수로 흐름 해석을 용이하게 하고자 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(GUI)를 개발하였으며, 이를 소개하고자 한다. 격자망은 기본적으로 사각형과 삼각형 요소로 구성될 수 있으며, 유한차분모형 등에서는 정형사각형 격자망을, 유한요소모형에서는 비정형 사각형 및 삼각형 격자망 또는 혼합망을 생성시킬 수 있다. 이산점(scatter points)이나 절점(node points)을 생성하거나 기존의 자료를 불러들여 삼각망 또는 사각망을 형성시킬 수 있으며, 연속선(polylines)을 작성하여 형성된 폐다각형(polygones)을 이용하여 정규 또는 비정규의 삼각망 또는 사각망을 형성시킬 수 있다. 또한 두 점사이를 선형 또는 반원 형태로 편향 정도(biased value)를 설정하여 원하는 개수만큼 나눌 수 있도록 하여, 보다 효율적인 격자형성이 가능토록 하였다. 기존 상용 프로그램에서 작성된 격자를 불러들여 활용 가능하며, 백그라운드 이미지로 지형도나 위성사진을 띄어놓고 이미지 상에서 격자를 형성할 수도 있다. 기본적으로 마우스를 이용하여 화면의 이동, 확대 및 축소와 점, 선, 요소의 생성 및 선택이 가능하다. 본 프로그램은 Qt와 modern OpenGL을 바탕으로 제작되었으며, 마이크로소프트사의 windows 뿐만 아니라 Mac OS, Linux 버전의 설치 파일 작성이 가능하다.

본 연구에서는 유한요소 모델인 RMA-2를 이용하여 격자의 구성방법에 따른 만곡수로에서의 흐름특성분석을 비교하였다. 수치모의는 격자구성에 따라 균일격자망의 모형과 타원형 편미분 방정식을 이용한 모형에 대하여 실시하였다. 균일 격자망의 모형은 직선부에서는 가로세로비율에 따라 직사각형 격자를 구성하였고 곡선부에서는 곡률구간을 일정한 각도로 나누어 구성하였으며, 타원형 편미분 방정식을 이용한 모형은 격자간의 직교성을 만족하도록 구성하였다. 본 연구의 수치 모의는 Shukry(1950)의 $180^{\circ}$ 만곡수로실험과 동일한 조건으로 실시하였으며 각 지점에서의 합성 유속분포를 실험값과 비교하였다. 실험결과, 만곡부에서 타원형 편미분 방정식을 이용한 모형의 수치모의 결과는 균일격자를 이용한 모형에 비해 실험값과 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

In order to save time and efforts in generating finite element meshes in irregular houndaries of domains, it is needed to develop an automatic mesh-generator which can hoth promote the accuracy of solutions and reduce the run-time in operating finite ele- ment models. In this study, the advancing front technique of triangular mesh generation and the transforming technique from triangular meshes to quadrilateral meshes were used to de- velop a computer program for the automatic triangular and quadrilateral meshes in the mixed shape. Furthermore, to enhance the quadrilateral mesh quality, the techniques of Laplancian smoothing and interior mesh modification were employed. The mesh genera- tor was applied to evaluate its applicability to irregular and complex geometries such as Nakdong river bay. In has hoen shown that the automatic mesh generator developed is capable of automatically generating meshes for irreguiar and complex geometries with high qualities of meshes and with the simple input data of arbitrarily specified nodal spacing in bound- aries.

For many coastal problems, such as wave transformation, tidal circulation, sediment transports and diffusion phenomena, we resort to numerical techniques. The representative numerical techniques are the method of finite differences and finite elements. The approximate algebraic equations, referred to as finite difference equations(FDEs), are subsequently solved at discrete grid points within the domain of interests. Therefore, a set of grid points within the domain, as well as the boundaries of the domain, must be specified. The generation of grids for FDEs, with uniform spacing, is very simple compared to that of finite elements. However, within a very complex domain, there are few grid generation tools we can use conveniently. Unfortunately, most of the commercial grid generation programs are developed only for finite element method. In this paper, grid generation method using digitizer, with uniform rectangular spacing, are introduced in detail. Didger and Surfer programs by Golden Software are necessary to produce comparatively accurate and simple depth data.

Finite element modeling of composite structures may be cumbersome due to complex distributions of reinforcements. In this paper, an efficient scheme is proposed that can generate periodic meshes for the composite structures. Regular meshes with hexahedral finite elements are first prepared, and the elements are then trimmed to fit external surfaces of reinforcements in the composite structures. The trimmed hexahedral finite elements located at interfaces between the matrix and the reinforcements correspond to polyhedral finite elements, which allow an arbitrary number of nodes and faces in the elements. Because the trimming process is consistently conducted by means of consistent algorithms, the elements of the reinforcements are automatically compatible with those of the matrices. With the additional consideration of periodicity of reinforcements in a representative volume element(RVE), the proposed scheme provides periodic meshes in an efficient manner, which are compatible for each pair of periodic boundaries of the RVE. Therefore, periodic boundary conditions for the RVE are enforced straightforwardly. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme for finite element modeling of complex composite structures.

A seamless analysis of complex geometry is one of greatly interesting topic. However, there are still gaps between the industrial applications and fundamental academic studies owing to time consuming modeling process. To resolve this problem, an auto mesh generation program based on grid-based approach has been developed for IT-product in the present study. At first, base mesh and skin mesh are generated using the information of entities which extracted from IGES file. Secondly the provisional core mesh with rugged boundary geometry is constructed by superimposing the skin mesh as well as the base mesh generated from the CAD model. Finally, the positions of boundary nodes are adjusted to make a qualified mesh by adapting node modification and smoothing techniques. Also, for the sake of verification of mesh quality, the hexahedral auto mesh constructed by the program is compared with the corresponding tetrahedral free mesh and hexahedral mapped mesh through static finite element analyses. Thereby, it is anticipated that the grid-based approach can be used as a promising pre-processor for integrity evaluation of various IT-products.

유체-고체 상호작용(FSI)은 산업전반에서 꼭 필요한 분야이면서도 쉽게 접근하기가 어려운 전산역학 분야의 난제 중 하나이다. 유체-고체 상호작용의 전산해석에서 유체와 고체 사이의 불일치 격자망을 어떻게 처리하는가는 매우 어렵고 민감한 부분이 된다. 운동학적 연속성과 계면을 따른 응력의 평형을 추적하기 위해 유체와 고체의 계면에서는 각각의 영역에서 해석된 물리량들을 다른 영역으로 정확히 전달해야 하는데 대부분의 유체-고체 상호작용의 문제들은 불일치 격자를 가지고 있기 때문에 불일치 격자망을 효과적으로 처리하는 수단이 필요하다. 그래서 넓은 분야에 걸쳐 적용 가능한 유체 고체 상호작용 문제에 대한 효과적인 해석방법의 제안이 큰 의미를 갖는다고 생각한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유체-고체 계면의 운동을 이동최소제곱 기반의 변절점 요소를 사용하여 모사함으로써 2차원 유체-고체의 상호작용(FSI)을 위한 새로운 접근방법을 제시하였다.

When the numerical analysis is carried out, it is necessary to set proper elements as a feature of analysis domains for more accurate simulations. In this study, Distinct Element Method(DEM) is applied, only considering repulsive force and tensile force except for frictional force and resisting force of particle. When the filled particles with initial Quad-tree type is relocated by DEM, a blank space existing among the particles can be minimized because the shape of particle is circular. Finally, it is the effective feature that the centroidal disposion of the particles is similar to an equilateral triangle. Triangular mesh are formed by using the Delaunay triangular technique on these relocated particles, the quality of triangular mesh is more improved by carrying out Laplace interpolations. The compared result of Aspect Ratio before and after the Laplace interpolation is shown that although the quality of triangular mesh made by DEM is good, the later triangular mesh are higher quality than the formers. In this study, although the developed technique takes a longer calculational time than the previous technique to generate triangular mesh, it is considered that the applicable possibility is very high in the generation of finite element mesh about wave analysis and various numerical simulation to need a complex or reappearance of exact topography.

This paper proposes a volume meshing method that fills the inside of an object with tetrahedra, of which dihedral angles are good. The suggested method is fast, stable and easy to implement It can also utilize an octree structure to space-efficiently fill an object with graded tetrahedra by reducing the total number of tetrahedra. To obtain a high-quality mesh with good dihedral angles, we restrict the octree such that any pair of neighboring cells only differs by one level. To efficiently construct a restricted-octree and generate a volume mesh from the octree, we utilize a signed distance field of an object on its bounded workspace. The suggested method can be employed in FEM-based simulation of large elasto-plastic deformation and tetrahedral-mesh-based simulation of fluid flow.
