A "finite volume method" is proposed to predict heat transport in a spherical enclosure at micro/nanoscale with the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE). The gray version of the BTE with the relaxation time approximation has been applied. Pointing out similarity between radiative transfer equation (RTE) and BTE, the mapping process in RTE is adopted to treat the angular derivative term and linear algebraic discretization equation is derived by using the established method which is used in 2-D BTE in cartesian coordinates. The simulation results are compared to exact solution to RTE for various acoustic thicknesses and ratio of radii. The comparison shows that this method is logical and accurate, and it is possible to easily adopt various models in spherical BTE.

This investigation presents a finite element method to obtain the transmission properties of bulk elastic waves in piezoelectric band gap structures(phonon crystals) for varying frequencies and modes. To this end, periodic boundary conditions are imposed on a three-dimensional model while both in-plane and out-of-plane modes are included. In particular, the mode decoupling characteristics between in-plane and out-of-plane modes are identified for each electric poling direction and the results are incorporated in the finite element modeling. Through numerical simulations, the proposed modeling method was found to be a useful, effective one for analyzing the wave characteristics of various types of piezoelectric phononic band gap structures.

현재 금속 성형공정에 대한 해석법으로 강소성 유한요소법이 널리 이용되고 있다. 강소성 유한요소법에서는 주어진 시간에서 속도장을 얻고 가공물 형상을 시간증분 만큼 갱신하는 과정을 반복하여 비정상상태 금속성형공정의 해석한다. 일반적인 강소성 유한요소법은 형상갱신(Geometry update) 과정에서 오일러법(Euler method)을 이용한다. 오일러법에서는 시간증분의 크기가 해의 정밀도에 중요한 인자이다. 충분히 정밀한 해를 얻기 위해, 작은 시간증분을 이용하여 비정상상태 금속성형공정을 해석함으로써 해석시간이 많이 걸리는 단점이 있으며 형상갱신에 따른 가공물 체적손실(Volume loss)이 발생한다.(중략)

In the present study, DOM and FVM have been used to analyze the radiative heat transfer in an axisymmetric cylindrical enclosure with obstacles. Heat flux distributions on the wall of enclosure form DOM and FVM are compared to those from simplified zone analysis for a nonparticipating medium. The comparison of DOM and FVM is also presented. Results show that there is a good agreement between FVM and simplified zone analysis. In addition, the effect of the thickness of the obstacle on the results is considered. Heat flux distribution on the surface of the obstacle is also presented.

본 논문에서는 사질토 지반에 일정기간 계속하여 증가되는 단계별 하중이 작용할 때 발생할수 있는 지반의 밀도화 현상을 hyperbolic model의 매개변수 변화를 고려한 방법으로 유한요소법에 의한 수치적 침하해석에 반영해 주었다. 이를 위해 사질토의 상대밀도별 삼축압축실험을 실시하여 매개변수를 산정하였으며, 이를 토대로 각각의 상대밀도의 변화에 따른 매개변수값을 Lagrange의 다항식 수치보간법으로 프로그램에 반영하였다. 또한 유한요소프로그램 내에서 요소의 체적을 계산하고 체적의 변화를 상대밀도 개념으로 접근함으로서 지반의 밀도화를 프로그램내에서 모사할수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 해석 프로그램에 의한 지반의 밀도화현상의 모사 결과를 실내 모형기초재하실험에 의하여 비교 분석해 본 결과 기존의 해석 보다 향상된 결과를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for the solution of elastostatic problems in an unbounded isotropic elastic solid containing multiple isotropic elliptical fibers of arbitrary orientation subject to uniform stress at infinity. The fibers are assumed to be long parallel elliptical cylinders composed of isotropic elastic material perfectly bonded to the isotropic matrix. The solid is assumed to be under plane strain on the plane normal to the cylinders. A detailed analysis of the stress field at the matrix-fiber interface for square and hexagonal packing of the fibers is carried out for different values of the number, orientation angles and concentration of the elliptical fibers. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are examined through comparison with results obtained from analytical and finite element methods.

The convergence of finite volume method (FVM) or discrete ordinate method (DOM) is known to degrade for optical thickness greater than unity and large scattering albedo. The present article presents a convergence acceleration procedure for the FVM based on a full approximation storage (FAS) multigrid method. Among a variety of multigrid cycles, the V-cycle is used and the full multigrid algorithm (FMG) is applied to an analysis of radiation in irregular two-dimensional geometry. Solution convergence is discussed for the several cases of various optical thickness and scattering albedo. At small scattering albedo and optical thickness, there is no advantage to using the multigrid method for calculation CPU time. For large scattering albedo greater than 0.5 and optical thickness greater than unity, however, the multigrid method improves the convergence and the solution is rapidly obtained.

Natural convection and radiation heat transfer in a square enclosure containing absorbing, emitting, and isotopically scattering(participating) media is studied numerically using the finite volume method. Various numerical methods are employed to analyze the radiative heat transfer. However, it is very difficult to choose the proper method. In present study, a finite volume method(FVM) and a discrete ordinates method(DOM) are compared in rectangular enclosure. The SIMPLER algorithm is used to solve the momentum and energy equations. Thermal and flow characteristics are investigated according to the variation of radiation parameters such as optical thickness and scattering albedo. The result shows that the accuracy and the computing time of FVM are better than those of DOM in regular geometry.
