A Navier-Stokes code based on an unstructured finite volume method is used to simulate the MIT flapping foil experiment. A low Reynolds number ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is used to close the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Computations are carried out for the whole experimental domain involving two flapping foils and a downstream hydrofoil. The computational domain is meshed with unstructured quadrilateral elements, partly structured. Numerical solutions show good agreement with experiment. The first harmonics of the velocity in the boundary layer shows local peak value inside the boundary layer and also local minimum near the edge of boundary layer. It is intensified as it develops along the blade surface. This is shown to be caused as the unsteadiness inside the boundary layer is being convected at a speed less than the free stream value. It is also shown that there is negligible mixing of the unsteadiness between the boundary layer and the free stream.

This study deals with the interaction between buoyancy-induced convection and externally imposed excitation in the form of harmonic rocking and the effect of the interaction upon heat transfer in low-Pr liquids. A wide array of system responses are discussed using the spectral collocation numerical technique. The superposition of buoyancy and Coriolis forces leads to complex fluid flow and heat transfer. The transition to chaotic convection is accelerated, and heat transfer rates are reduced as the enclosure is excited at the fundamental frequency of oscillation associated with the pure buoyancy-driven case. Average heat transfer rates are correlated for Pr=0.02 and 0.03. The heat transfer is affected more in the Pr=0.03 liquid than the case of Pr=0.02.

We report an investigation of the statistical fluctuations of the two-mode laser output as the asymmetry parameter is varied. The above results relate to computer solutions of the coupled Langevin equations both with and without pumping fluctuations. We find that as the asymmetry parameter is changed positively, the mean intensity of one mode is increased because the normalized intensity auto-correlation is decreased so that the natural dwell time is lengthen. The laser output does respond to a sinusoidally injected asymmetry parameter for small pump parameter.

The objective of this study is to simulate the etching characteristics with oscillation angle for the optimization of etching system. The etching characteristics were analyzed under different etching conditions. The spray characteristics were measured by Phase Doppler Anemometer (PDA). The correlation between the spray characteristics and the etching characteristics was investigated and used for fundamental data to simulate the etching characteristics with oscillation angle. The smaller coefficient of variation, the more uniform etching characteristic distribution became. It was found that numerical predictions of etching factor generally agreed well with the measured results with distance from nozzle tip. Oscillation leads to decrease of etching factor and increase of uniformity.

For high quality image acquisition, compensating air-vehicle motion is essential for airborne SAR system. This paper describes a timing control based motion compensation method for airborne SAR system. Efficient timing control is critical for SAR system since it maintains many timing signals and timing setting for the signals should be updated frequently. This paper proposes Timing Cluster method as an efficient means for timing control of SAR system. Moreover, this paper suggests a simple and efficient method to compensate air-vehicle motion based on the Timing Cluster method. Timing Cluster method enables SAR system to control the timing in a timing noncritical way just maintaining little amount of information.

Adaptive smoothing filter is a filter that averages out the intensities around the pixels of similar intensities while conserving the discontinuties. When human eyes rec-ognize a map, the brain can easily assign one color for each element such as road or building while computer distinguishes all the minute color differences even for one ele¬ment. We can approach to the solution by using the adaptive smoothing filter so that the machine can assign one color for each element as much as we want, and it is found to be a very essential tool foor map segmentation of urban areas. The filter is applied to a scanned map, and it is used to extract roads and residential areas.
