The effects of characteristic condition number on the convergence of preconditioned Euler equations were investigated. The two-dimensional preconditioned Euler equations adopting Choi and Merkle's preconditioning and the temperature preconditioning are considered. Preconditioned Roe's FDS scheme was adopted for spatial discretization and preconditioned LU-SGS scheme was used for time integration. It is shown that the convergence characteristics of the Euler equations are strongly affected by the characteristic condition number, and there is an optimal characteristic condition number for a problem. The optimal characteristic condition numbers for the Choi and Merkle's preconditioning and temperature preconditioning are different.

This paper deals with the comparison of analysis methodologies by applying both Euler angle and quaternion to observe the kinematical behavior of the universal joint system used as an automotive drive-shaft. At first, conventional approaches are applied to predict a kinematical behavior by introducing only Euler angles into the universal joint system, but turns out to be lack in consistency and reliability of the analysis. Then to overcome this deficiency in numerical analysis a different methodology is proposed by using quaternion in this system. Its corresponding advantage is discussed in terms of kinetic energy, rotational velocity and rotational displacement. The application of quaternions in the numerical experiment is shown to be a more useful and valid way of establishing the ideal analytical model of the universal joint system.

In this study a new hybrid method is developed for solving flow-dominated transport problems accurately and effectively. The method takes the forward-tracking particle method for advection. However, differently from the random-walk Lagrangian approach it solves the diffusion process on the fixed Eulerian grids. Therefore, neither any interpolating algorithm nor a large enough number of particles is required. The method was successfully examined for both cases of instantaneous and continuous sources released at a point. Comparison with a surrounding 5-point Hermite polynomial method (Eulerian-Lagrangian method) and the random-walk pure Lagrangian method shows that the present method is superior in result accuracy and time-saving ability.

In this study, unsteady aerodynamic analyses of a wedge-type airfoil based on nonlinear piston theory and Euler equations have been performed in supersonic and hypersonic flows. The third-order nonlinear piston theory (NPT) to calculate unsteady lift and moment coefficients is derived and applied in the time-domain. Also, unsteady flow quantities are obtained from the two-dimensional time-dependent Euler equations. For the CFD based unsteady aerodynamic analyses, an arbitrary Lagrangean-Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the Euler equations is used to calculate flow fluxes in the computational flow field with moving boundaries. Numerical comparisons for unsteady lift and moment coefficients are presented between NPT and Euler approaches. The results show very good agreements in the high supersonic and hypersonic flows. It means that the present NPT can be efficiently used to predict unsteady aerodynamic forces ol wedge type airfoils with dynamic motions in the high supersonic and hypersonic flow regimes.

The pressure drop in a Venturi Scrubber is predicted using the Eulerian-Lagrangian Method, which is one of the numerical methods to solve the dispersed two-phase flow. KIVA-3V Code is modified to solve the coupled gas-liquid two-phase flow field. The liquid is assumed to be injected through the nozzles with the Rosin-Rammler drop size distribution. The computational results shows good agreement with the experimental data.

This paper is concerned with the dynamic analysis of an underwater tracked vehicle, operating on extremely soft soil of the deep-seafloor. The vehicle is assumed as a rigid-body with 6-dof. The orientation of the vehicle is defined by four Euler parameters. To solve the motion equations of the vehicle, the Newmark numerical integrator is used in the incremental-iterative algorithm. The normalization constraint of Euler parameters is satisfied by using of a sequential updating method. The hydrodynamic force and moment are included in the tracked vehicle's dynamics. The hydrodynamic effects on the performance of tracked vehicles are investigated through numerical simulations.

In this study the unsteady aerodynamic analysis of a hovering helicopter rotor is performed. For the accurate flow field analysis Euler equations and the free wake method are coupled. The Euler equations are solved to find the pressure distribution around the rotor, and free wake method is used to give the boundary condition for the solution of Euler equations. Also, vortex strength and wake motion after the rotor are simulated by the free wake method. The accuracy of the present method is compared with the source sink model. The present method is applied to the hovering Caradonna-Tung rotor and compared with experimental results.

The wave motion inside the nozzle is known as one of the major damping elements of the rocket's combustion instability by it's aeroacoustic effects that result from the flow passage through the nozzle throat. These effects can be quantitatively evaluated by the nozzle admittance. In this study, one-dimensional linearized Euler equation was adopted to calculate the nozzle admittance, and trend analysis was performed depending on the nozzle's main design variables. As a result, when nozzle converging part shortens, it is verified that the frequency dependency of the nozzle admittance is decreased due to the widened frequency range with lowered longitudinal nozzle admittance. Also, admittance estimation using the short nozzle theory is not appropriate when the first tangential mode of the pressure perturbation arises.

Change detection algorithms based on frame difference are frequently used for finding moving objects in image sequences. These algorithms detect the change of frames using estimated statistical background model. But, if this estimated background model is different from the actual statistical distribution, false detections are generated. In this paper, we propose an improved change detection algorithm using euler number and structure tensor. The proposed mapping method which is based on the euler number can be used for reducing the false detections that generated by nonparametric change detection algorithm. In this paper, the change in the region of moving object also can be detected by the proposed method using structure tensor. Experimental result shows that the proposed method reduces the false detections effectively by 90% on "Weather", by 34% on "Mother & daughter" and by 43% on "Aisle" than an existing method does.
