Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that solves partial differential equations which represent fluid flows by a set of algebraic equations using computers. Even though it requires multifarious variables, only selected ones are stored because of the lack of storage capacity. It causes the requirement of secondary variable calculations at analyzing time. In this paper, we suggest an efficient method to estimate optimal calculation paths for secondary variables. First, we suggest a converting technique from a dependency graph to a ordinary directed graph. We also suggest a technique to find the shortest path from any initial variables to target variables. We applied our method to a tool for data analysis and visualization to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method.

연료효율에 대한 선주들의 요구와 그린쉽이라는 사회적 흐름에 맞춰 현재 연료 절감 장치에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 KVLCC2M의 반류개선 및 연료효율 증가를 위한 반원형 덕트의 변수 연구를 진행하였으며, 계산의 신뢰도를 검증하기 위해 서울대학교 선박저항성능 연구실에서 실시한 모형 시험결과와 비교하였다. 반원형 덕트의 크기와 길이방향 위치를 설계변수로 설정하여, 총 12가지 경우에 대한 CFD 계산을 시행하였으며, 계산 결과를 유동 정류를 통한 저항 감소와 반류 개선을 통한 프로펠러의 성능 개선 이라는 두 가지 기준으로 최적 조건을 선정하였다. 또한, 후처리를 통해 계산 결과를 추가적으로 분석하여 에너지 절감의 이론적인 배경을 찾았으며, 이를 바탕으로 반원형 덕트를 개선하여 부채꼴형 덕트를 새로이 설계하였다. 이에 대한 추가적인 계산 결과 최대 4%의 연료절감 효과를 최종 확인하였다.

하상경사가 커서 동수역학적 부정류 계산모형을 안정적으로 적용하기 어렵고, 홍수파의 감쇄효과가 적은 중소하천에 적합한 준정상류 계산모형을 개발하였다. 수립된 모형은 매 시각 유량에 대하여 1차원 하천 부등류 지배방정식인 단면 평균된 1차원 에너지 방정식을 풀도록 구성되어 있으며, 수치해법으로는 Newton-Raphson 방법을 적용한 표준축차법을 사용하였다. Newton-Raphson 방법을 적용하기 위해서는 통수면적, 하폭, 윤변, 동수반경 및 수위에 대한 윤변의 변화율 등의 변수들이 필요하다. 이와 같은 변수들은 각 계산점에서 수위를 계산하기에 앞서 단면자료를 사용하여 0.1 m 간격으로 모든 수위에 대하여 그 값들을 미리 구한 후, 반복 계산 단계에서 사용되는 수위에 대하여 필요한 변수들을 앞서 계산된 변수들과 선형 보간하여 사용하도록 하였다. 하천 구간내에 보가 존재하는 경우에는 보가 위치한 상 하류 간의 지배방정식으로 에너지 방정식 대신에 월류 유량 관계식을 사용하였으며, 이때의 수치해법 역시 Newton-Raphson 방법을 사용하였다. 수립된 모형을 한탄강 하류 구간에 적용하여 HEC-RAS 모형과 모의 결과를 비교한 결과, 두 모형의 계산결과가 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 에너지 경사항의 근사 방법에 따른 민감도 분석을 실시하였다.

고인성 종이의 탄성-소성 파괴를 파괴역학을 이용하여 분석하였다. 탄성-소성 물질의 파괴에 있어서 균열이 언제 진행되기 시작하는지 이론적 판단 기준을 유도하고, mode I 파괴를 linear image strain analysis(LISA)로 관찰한 후, 파괴역학 변수들을 계산하였다. 크랙(crack)이 있는 물질에 외부하중이 작용할 때 변형율 에너지 발산 속도(strain energy release rate)가 그 물질이 견딜 수 있는 파괴저항(fracture resistance)에 도달하면 안정적인 파괴가 진행된다. 이를 이용하여 크랙의 초기 진행시 결점주위의 응력, 파괴저항, 크랙 진행거리, 기하인자(geometry factor) 등을 구하였다. 이 변수들은 종이의 파괴역학적 특성을 정량적으로 나타내므로 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Generally speaking, a hydrodynamic model needs a friction coefficient (Manning coefficient or Chezy coefficient) and eddy viscosity. For numerical solution the coefficients are usually determined by recursive calculations. The eddy viscosity in numerical model plays physical diffusion in flow and also acts as numerical viscosity. Hence its value has influence on the stability of numerical solution and for these reasons a consistent evaluation procedure is needed. By using records of stage and discharge in the downstream reach of the Han river, I-D models (HEC-2 and NETWORK) and 2-D model (SMS), estimated values of Manning coefficient and an empirical equation for eddy viscosity are presented. The computed results are verified through the recorded flow elevation data.n data.

In this paper, we present a DIP-MLS testing method that combines digital image processing with a rigid body-based MLS differencing approach to measure mechanical variables and analyze the impact of target location and image resolution. This method assesses the displacement of the target attached to the sample through digital image processing and allocates this displacement to the node displacement of the MLS differencing method, which solely employs nodes to calculate mechanical variables such as stress and strain of the studied object. We propose an effective method to measure the displacement of the target's center of gravity using digital image processing. The calculation of mechanical variables through the MLS differencing method, incorporating image-based target displacement, facilitates easy computation of mechanical variables at arbitrary positions without constraints from meshes or grids. This is achieved by acquiring the accurate displacement history of the test specimen and utilizing the displacement of tracking points with low rigidity. The developed testing method was validated by comparing the measurement results of the sensor with those of the DIP-MLS testing method in a three-point bending test of a rubber beam. Additionally, numerical analysis results simulated only by the MLS differencing method were compared, confirming that the developed method accurately reproduces the actual test and shows good agreement with numerical analysis results before significant deformation. Furthermore, we analyzed the effects of boundary points by applying 46 tracking points, including corner points, to the DIP-MLS testing method. This was compared with using only the internal points of the target, determining the optimal image resolution for this testing method. Through this, we demonstrated that the developed method efficiently addresses the limitations of direct experiments or existing mesh-based simulations. It also suggests that digitalization of the experimental-simulation process is achievable to a considerable extent.

The dynamic behaviour of the rock mass under the dynamic load is different from the static application of the maximum load of the same size. An experimental approach to investigating rock behavior under dynamic loads is more difficult than that under static conditions in control of dynamic loads, measurement and analysis of the results. Numerical methods are less constrained by performing the experiments numerically, rather than experimental ones, so they can be very powerful analytical tool at the design stage. However, even if the algorithms of the analysis method are appropriate, careful analysis is required because the calculation results may vary largely depending on input data and boundary conditions. In this paper, when investigating the behavior of rock structures under dynamic load numerically, the effects of boundary conditions, dynamic load and calculation time step, and dynamic load characteristics on the calculation results were reviewed to provide guidance on setting up boundary conditions and calculation time step related to dynamic analysis.

To calculate the induced charge of atoms in molecular dynamics, linear equations for the induced charges need to be solved. As induced charges are determined at each time step, the process involves considerable computational costs. Hence, an efficient method for calculating the induced charge distribution is required when analyzing large systems. This paper introduces the Uzawa method for solving saddle point problems, which occur in linear systems, for the solution of the Lagrange equation with constraints. We apply the accelerated Uzawa algorithm, which reduces computational costs noticeably using the Schur complement and preconditioned conjugate gradient methods, in order to overcome the drawback of the Uzawa parameter, which affects the convergence speed, and increase the efficiency of the matrix operation. Numerical models of molecular dynamics in which two gold nanoparticles are placed under external electric fields reveal that the proposed method provides improved results in terms of both convergence and efficiency. The computational cost was reduced by approximately 1/10 compared to that for the Gaussian elimination method, and fast convergence of the conjugate gradient, as compared to the basic Uzawa method, was verified.

A numerical method for accurate simulations of rotor aerodynamics is proposed. The numerical diffusion in the typically coarse grids away from the rotor blades is improved by implying a fourth-order of interpolation of local characteristic variables of the flow in the reconstruction stage of MUSCL approach in the framework of a finite volume formulation. In addition, different slope limiters are applied to the different characteristic fields, such as compressive limiters to linear characteristic fields to reduce the numerical dissipation whereas, diffusive limiters to nonlinear characteristic fields to increase numerical stability. Various exemplary problems related to the rotor aerodynamics applications are tested and the numerical results show a significant improvement in wake capturing capability. However, rotor aeroacoustic calculations show no meaningful difference over traditional MUSCL approach.
