Two-dimensional large-amplitude motions in regular harmonic wave are treated in time domain, by satisfying the exact body boundary condition and the linear free surface condition. For the present numerical calculation, the method of free-surface spectral representation with simple source distribution on the instantaneous body surface has been extended to include the effect of the incident wave. Calculations of the wave exciting force are performed for a submerged circular cylinder fixed or oscillating with large amplitude. Especially, nonlinear effects on the time-mean forces are studied in detail. It is shown that relative motion between the body and the fluid particle gives a significant effect on the lift and drift forces. Also, large-amplitude motion of a submerged circular cylinder and that of a floating Lewis-form cylinder are directly simulated in time domain. In the calculation results, some nonlinear effects are shown.

The rapid mixing process has been considered as an important step in water treatment. Since the coagulant dispersion into raw water by rapid mixer can influence on the flocculation and filtration efficiency, many researchers have developed various devices and mixing methodologies. Until now, they focused attention on only coagulant dose, pH. rotating velocity and G value but overlooked the real turbulent flow and mixer geometry in rapid mixer. Therefore this paper questions the significance of turbulent flows in rapid mixer and focuses on the analysis of turbulent fluid in various mixer geometry with CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). The results of the jar-tests using various geometries indicate that the turbidity removal rate in a circular jar without baffle is higher than that of a circular with baffle. And the turbidity removal rate in Hudson jar is also founded to be higher than in the circular jar with baffle. The CFD simulation of velocity fields in jar demonstrates that the differences of removal rates among the various geometries are largely due to the formation of the different turbulent fluids fields with different geometries.

In this paper, the concept of the infinite element is applied to the linear wave diffraction and radiation problems. The hydrodynamic pressure forces are assumed to be inertially dominated, and viscous effects are neglected. The near field region surrounding the solid body is modelled using the conventional finite elements, and the far field region is represented using the infinite elements .In order to represent the scattered wave potentials in the far field region more accurately, the infinite elements are developed using special shape functions derived from the asymptotic expressions for the analytical eigenseries solution of the scattered waves. The system matrices of the infinite elements are constructed by performing the integration in the infinite direction analytically to achieve computational efficiency. Numerical analyses are carried out for vertical axisymmetric bodies to validate the infinite elements developed here. Comparisons with the results by other available numerical solution methods show that the present method using the infinite elements gives fairly good results. Numerical experiments are per-formed to determine the suitable location of the infinite elements and the appropriate size of the finite elements which directly affect accuracy and efficiency of the solution.

A special purposed program for ship hull strength analysis considering whipping phenomena is developed. In this program, the non-linear hydrodynamic impact force is considered using the momentum slamming theory and the hull girder is modeled as elastic body on the base of Timoshenko's beam theory. The numerical verifications are conducted in the view points that the effect of slamming impact force, the effect of hydro-elastic formulation, and the effect of various design parameters such as ship speed, wave amplitude, wave length and others. By the application of a real ship design process, the availability of the program is proved. This program has a GUI function for many I/O data process as well as the function to show the 2-D ship motion in the graphic window, and has other available functions for the whipping analysis.

This paper explores three-dimensional unsteady computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analyses with an overset grid technique to analyse the wake effect created by a rotating propeller on a hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Additionally, the influence of actual aileron deflection on the equilibrium condition of the rolling moment is examined in various hand-launched take-off conditions. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of initial aileron deflection in increasing the initial rolling stability during the hand-launched take-off process. Furthermore, an aerodynamic database is constructed to rapidly predict the aileron set values required for different take-off speeds and angle-of-attacks.

The present simulation model relies on a new approach of the heavy particle motion in a turbulent flow considering the time and space correlation to the Lagrangian point of view. The turbulent field is, here, assumed that its characteristic scales are random and follow a Poisson's distribution. Using this model, we have computed the trajectory of each particle, that is, its velocity and position at each time in order to study the dispersion of particles in a grid turbulent flow. The computed results have been compared to the corresponding experimental data. Due to the complex mechanism of turbulence and the theoretically and experimentally lacking information, we had to make some assumptions for simplifying the situation, but we have found the good agreement between simulated and measured results. In particular, the application of the present method on the Lagrangian correlation of particle provides an interesting alternative to the usual computational methods.

This paper addresses a sliding mode control of vibration in a flexible structure using ER(electro-rheological) dampers. A clamped-clamped flexible structure system supported by two short columns is considered. Three ER dampers to be operated in shear mode are designed on the basis of Bingham model of the arabic gum-based ER fluid, and attached to the flexible beam structure. After deriving the governing equation of motion and associated boundary conditions, a sliding mode controller is formulated to effectively suppress the vibration of the beam structure caused by sinusoidal and random excitations. In the formulation of the controller, parameter variations such as natural frequency deviation are treated to take into account the robustness of control system. The effectiveness of the proposed control system is confirmed by both simulation and experimental results.

A numerical calculation is carried out for the analysis of 3-dimensional compressible flow field in axial-flow rotating blades by using finite element method. The calculation of flow in impellers plays a dominant role in the theoretical research and design of turbomachines. Three-dimensional flow fields can be obtained by the quasi-three-dimensional iterative calculation of the flows both on blade-to-blade stream surfaces and hub-to-shroud stream surfaces with the introduction of viscous loss model in order to consider a loss due to viscosity of fluid. In devising the loss model, four primary sources of losses were identified: (1) blade profile loss (2) end wall loss (3) secondary flow loss (4) tip-leakage loss. For the consideration of an axially parabolic distribution of loss, the results of present calcullation are well agreed with the results by experiment, thus the introduction of loss model is proved to be valid.

선박은 화물 및 여객을 수송하는 해상교통 수단으로써 여객 및 승무원의 안락성, 탑재장비, 기기의 성능 보전 상, 화물 및 구조부재의 안전성 차원에서 진동제어가 주요 해결 기술의 하나이다. 또한 최근 선박의 대형화, 고속화로 인해 엔진과 프로펠러의 기진력은 커지는데 반해 구조 강도계산 기술의 발달로 인해 선체구조 경량화가 촉진되어 선체의 유연성이 커질 뿐 아니라 전통적인 선체 구조와 기관, 축계 강성사이의 균형이 깨어짐으로 선박의 진동제어는 더욱 중요시 되고 있다. 선박의 경우 건조 후에 진동제어를 위한 조치를 취하는 일은 매우 제한적이고 많은 비용이 들기 때문에 설계단게에서 선박진동제어를 위한 사전 노력이 충분히 이루어지는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 선박의 주 기진원인 프로펠러, 주기관 등의 기진력 자체를 적정화하는 노력과 함께 그로 인한 응답을 극소화하기 위해 설계 단계부터 인도까지 단게별로 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 단계별 진동제어의 한 예를 Fig.1에서 보여주고 있다[1]. 선체와 같이 복잡한 대형구조물의 진동특성 및 응답을 계산함에 있어서 컴퓨터의 발달과 유한요소법과 같은 해석기술의 발달로 실제 구조와 매우 유사한 3차원 모델링이 가능하게 되어 해석의 정도를 높일 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 프로펠러 기진력, 유체와의 연성효과, 감쇠특성 등을 정도 높게 산정하는 데는 아직도 많은 어려움이 있다. 이와같은 문제는 진동응답의 계산정도를 저하시키는 주요 요인이 되어 설게단계에서 충분히 진동 제어가 이루어졌다 하더라도 건조 후 실제운항 시 진동문제가 발생되는 경우가 있다. 건조 후 진동문제 발생시 구조변경을 통한 해결은 한계가 있기 때문에 각종 진동제어 장치의 연구개발이 최근에 활발히 이루어지고 있다[2]. 본 고에서는 설계단계에서부터 건조 후까지의 선박진동제어 과정[1,2,5,6]을 단계별로 고찰하여, 점점 까다로워져 가는 선박 진동규제[3,4]에 대처하고 승무원의 안락성에 대한 욕구, 구조물의 안전성, 장비의 성능보존이 만족되는 저진동 선박의 건조를 위해 향후 해결해야할 과제들을 도출하여 선박진동분야이 연구개발 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

In many practical engineering design problems, the form of objective functions is not given explicitly in terms of design variables. Given the value of design variables, under this circumstance, the value of objective functions is obtained by real/computational experiments such as structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, thermodynamic analysis, and so on. These experiments are, in general, considerably expensive. In order to make the number of these experiments as few as possible, optimization is performed in parallel with predicting the form of objective functions. Response Surface Methods (RSM) are well known along this approach. This paper suggests to apply Support Vector Machines (SVM) for predicting the objective functions. One of most important tasks in this approach is to allocate sample data moderately in order to make the number of experiments as small as possible. It will be shown that the information of support vector can be used effectively to this aim. The effectiveness of our suggested method will be shown through numerical example which is well known in design of engineering.
