  • As part of a Department of Defense Grand Challenge Project, advanced high performance computing (HPC) time-accurate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques have been developed and applied to a new area of aerodynamic research on microjets for control of small and medium caliber projectiles. This paper describes a computational study undertaken to determine the aerodynamic effect of flow control in the afterbody regions of spin-stabilyzed projectiles at subsonic and low transonic speeds using an advanced scalable unstructured flow solver in various parallel computers such as the IBM SP4 and Linux Cluster. High efficiency is achieved for both steady and time-accurate unsteady flow field simulations using advanced scalable Navier-Stokes computational techniques. Results relating to the code's portability and its performance on the Linux clusters are also addressed. Numerical simulations with the unsteady microjets show the jets to substantially alter the flow field both near the jet and the base region of the projectile that in turn affects the forces and moments even at zero degree angle of attack. The results have shown the potential of HPC CFD simulations on parallel machines to provide to provide insight into the jet interaction flow fields leading to improve designs.

  • 자기쌍극자 모멘트의 깊이, 방향, 크기 등에 관한 평가는 자기탐사자료로부터 폭발물과 기타 자성체를 구분하는데 유용한 정보를 제공한다. 이러한 평가는 지질학적 잡음, 자기분산체, 주변 쌍극자기장 중첩 등의 이유로 방해를 받을 수 있다. 임의의 극성을 갖는 단일 혹은 다중 쌍극자 이상체의 효과적 계산을 위하여, 역산내부 필터 및 배경 자기장의 구배 평가를 포함하는 개선된 역산법을 개발하였다. 관측값들은 보간하여 격자화하였으며, 관측점으로부터 가장 가까운 계산점만을 사용하도록 표시하였다. 이러한 자료에 역산내부 필터를 적용하기 위하여는 빈간격 필터가 필요하다. 게다가 상당히 빈 곳이 많은 자료나 조사지 가장자리 및 구석 부분 자료들을 처리하기 위해서는 역산내부 필터를 수정하여야 한다. 이러한 목적으로 가장자리에 적용가능한 빈간격 구배제거 필터를 고안하고 시험하였다. 한국 속초의 청초호와 미국 매릴랜드의 육군 애벌딘 무기시험장에서 기록한 자기탐사자료에 적용한 결과를 소개한다.

  • Lead and cadmium are potent environmental toxicants that affect populations living in Europe, Americas, and Asia. Identifying transporters for lead and cadmium could potentially 1 help us better understand possible risk factors. The iron transporter divalent metal transporter 1(DMT1) mediates intestinal transport of cadmium, and lead in yeast and fibroblasts overexpressing DMT1. In human intestinal cells knocking down expression of DMT1 attenuated uptake of cadmium and iron but not lead. A possible explanation is the expression of a second transporter for lead in intestine. In astrocytes, however, DMT1 appears to transport lead in an extracellular buffer at pH value. At neutral pH, transport was not mediated by DMT1 but rather by a transporter that is stimulated by bicarbonate and inhibited by 4,4'-diisothiocyanatodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid. The identity of this lead transporter is under study.

  • The mechanical strength of silicon carbide dose nor permit the use of diffusion as a means to achieve selective doping as required by most electronic devices. While epitaxial layers may be doped during growth, ion implantation is needed to define such regions as drain and source wells, junction isolation regions, and so on. Ion activation without an annealing cap results in serious crystal damage as these activation processes must be carried out at temperatures on the order of 1600$^{\circ}C$. Ion implanted silicon carbide that is annealed in either a vacuum or argon environment usually results in a surface morphology that is highly irregular due to the out diffusion of Si atoms. We have developed and report a successful process of using silicon overpressure, provided by silane in a CAD reactor during the anneal, to prevent the destruction of the silicon carbide surface, This process has proved to be robust and has resulted in ion activation at a annealing temperature of 1600$^{\circ}C$ without degradation of the crystal surface as determined by AFM and RBS. In addition XPS was used to look at the surface and near surface chemical states for annealing temperatures of up to 1700$^{\circ}C$. The surface and near surface regions to approximately 6 nm in depth was observed to contain no free silicon or other impurities thus indicating that the process developed results in an atomically clean SiC surface and near surface region within the detection limits of the instrument(${\pm}$1 at %).
