A comparative study on flux functions for the 2-dimensional Euler equations has been conducted. Explicit 4-stage Runge-Kutta method is used to integrate the equations. Flux functions used in the study are Steger-Warming's, van Leer's, Godunov's, Osher's(physical order and natural order), Roe's, HLLE, AUSM, AUSM+, AUSMPW+ and M-AUSMPW+. The performance of MUSCL limiters and MLP limiters in conjunction with flux functions are compared extensively for steady and unsteady problems.

Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically for the computation of turbulent flow around a Wigley double model. A second order finite difference method is applied for the spatial discretization on the nonstaggered grid system and 4-stage Runge-Kutta scheme for the numerical integration in time. In order to increase the time step, residual averaging scheme of Jameson is adopted. Pressure field is obtained by solving the pressure-Poisson equation with the appropriate Neumann boundary condition. For the turbulence closure, 0-equation turbulence model of Baldwin-Lomax is used. Numerical computation is carried out for the Reynolds number of 4.5 million. Comparisons of the computed results with the available experimental data show good agreements for the velocity and pressure distributions.

Precise determination of satellite positions is necessary to improve positioning accuracy in GNSS. In this study, GLONASS orbits were predicted from broadcast ephemeris using the 4th-order Runge-Kutta numerical integration method and their accuracy dependence on the integration step and the integration time was analyzed. The 3D RMS (Root Mean Square) differences between the results from I-second integration step and 300-second integration step was about 3 cm, but the processing time was one hundred times less for the I-second integration time case. For trials of different integration times, the 3D RMS errors were 8.3 m, 187.3 m, and 661.5 m for 30-, 150-, and 300-minutes of integration time, respectively. Though this integration-time analysis, we concluded that the accuracy gets higher with a shorter integration time. Thus we suggest forward and backward integration methods to improve GLONASS positioning accuracy, and with this method we can achieve a 5-meter level of 3-D orbit accuracy.

The existence of the j-type collision periodic orbit is examined on the condition of mass ratio 0.9878449 and Jacobian constant 2.9∼3.4. Using the Birckhoff's regularization method and the 5th order Runge-Kutta variable step-sized numerical roution introduced by Fehlberg (1968). we test their periodicities. As the results, 4 j-type collision orbits and 5 peculiar orbits are represented. There are good agreements in this collision orbits with the relationship between the period and the shape of orbit proposed by Pinotsis Zikides(1984).

The radial density distributions of the positive column of strongly modulated low -pressure gas discharges in mercury - rare gas mixtures at 10 tom pressure have been studied theoretically. The current was modulated inusoidally with a modulation depth of 50%. Calculations have shown that the radial profile of the excited atoms is ditferent form 0th Bessel function $J_0$(2.4r/R) and the invertion of the radial distribution of the excited atom can occur at some frequency. The hybrid method of FDM and 2nd order Runge-Kutta meth od is used for solving differenzial equations.

In this study, Constraint Force Equation Methodology (CFEM) is used to develop a multi-body dynamic analysis program with constraints. Seven constraint models are implemented to analyze constraint motions of multiple bodies. The augmented equations with the constraints are solved with the 4th order Runge-Kutta method for higher degree of accuracy. The analysis code is verified by comparing the analysis results of the motion of bodies with various constraints to published results.

In this paper the nonlinear free surface flows for an axisymmetric submerged body oscillating beneath the free surface are solved and the forces acting on the body are calculated. A boundary integral method is applied to solve the axisymmetric boundary value problem and the Runge-Kutta 4-th order method is used for the time stepping of the free surface location. The nonlinear forces acting on the axisymmetric body are computed and compared with published results.

Pneumatic cushioning cylinders are commonly employed for vibration and shock control. A mathematical simulation model of a double acting pneumatic cushioning cylinder designed to absorb shock loads is presented which is based on the following assumptions; ideal equation of state isentropic flow through a port conservation of mass polytropic thermodynamics single degree of freedom piston dynamics and energy equivalent linear damping. These differential equation can be solved through numerical integration using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. An experimental study was conducted to validate the results obtained by the numerical integra-tion technique. Simulated results show good agreement with experimental data. The computer simulation model presented here has been extremely useful not only in understanding the has been extremely useful not only in understanding the basic cushioning but also in evaluating different designs.

In this paper, Runge-Kutta (RK)-Butcher algorithm is proposed to study the periodic and oscillatory problems. Simulation results obtained using RK-Butcher algorithms and the classical fourth order Runge-Kutta (RK(4)) methods are compared with the exact solutions of a few periodic and oscillatory problems to confirm the performance of the proposed algorithm. The simulation results from RK-Butcher algorithms are always found to be very close to the exact solutions of these problems. Further, it is found that the RK-Butcher algorithm is superior when compared to RK(4) methods in terms of accuracy. The RK-Butcher algorithm can be easily implemented in a programming language and a more accurate solution may be obtained for any length of time. RK-Butcher algorithm is applicable as a good numerical algorithm for studying the problems of orbit and two body as it gives the nearly identical solutions.
