Shock focusing is related with explosive release of shock wave energy on a narrow spot in a short duration of time triggering a spontaneous high pressure near the focal point. It is well known that reflection of planar incident shock wave from the metallic concave mirror such as ellipsoidal, paraboloidal or hemispherical cavities will focus on a focal point. We intend to improve the computational results using a wave propagation algorithm and to resolve the mushroom-like structure. For computation of the concave cavity flow, it is not easy to use a single-block mesh because of the many singular points in geometry and coordinates. We have employed a uniform Cartesian-grid method for the wave propagation algorithm.

본 연구는 Cartesian 격자망을 기본으로 하여 복잡한 지형을 위한 격자를 간편하고 효율적으로 생성할 수 있는 기법인 분할격자체계를 제안하고자 한다. 분할격자기법은 전반적인 흐름영역의 격자는 균일한 크기의 Cartesian 격자로 표현하지만 수치모형의 정확성, 적용성 및 효율성을 증대시키기 위하여 흐름의 특성이 변하는 격자를 분할하여 처리하는 기법이다. 분할격자체계에 의한 격자망은 다양한 크기 및 형상을 지니게 되므로, 유한체적기법을 적용하여 복잡한 흐름영역을 위한 수치모형을 구성한다. HLLC Riemann 근사해법을 이용하여 지배방정식을 이산화하였으며, 수치해의 안정성을 기하기 위하여 TVD-WAF기법을 적용하였다. 분할격자체계를 이용한 수치모형을 검증하기 위하여 해석해가 존재하는 사각형수조의 자유진동흐름을 모의하였다. 해석해와 수치모의 결과를 비교하여 본 연구에서 제안된 기법이 균일격자 및 분할격자체계에서 자유수면변위 및 x-축 및 y-축 방향의 유속을 정확히 모의함을 확인하였다.

The use of metric trial functions to represent the real stress field in what is called the unsymmetric finite element formulation is an effective way to improve predictions from distorted finite elements. This approach works surprisingly well because the use of parametric functions for the test functions satisfies the continuity conditions while the use of metric (Cartesian) shape functions for the trial functions attempts to ensure that the stress representation during finite element computation can retrieve in a best-fit manner, the actual variation of stress in the metric space. However, the issue of how to handle situations where there is locking along with mesh distortion has never been addressed. In this paper, we show that the use of a consistent definition of the constrained strain field in the metric space can ensure a lock-free solution even when there is mesh distortion. The three-noded Timoshenko beam element is used to illustrate the principles. Some significant conclusions are drawn regarding the optimal strategy for finite element modelling where distortion effects and field-consistency requirements have to be reconciled simultaneously.

In the present study, viscous flow calculations of helicopter main rotor system in forward flight were made by using an unstructured hybrid mesh solver. Each rotating blade relative to the cartesian frame was simulated independently by adopting unstructured overset mesh technique. For the validation of the present method, calculations for the Caradonna-Tung non-lifting forward flight and the AH-1G main rotor system in forward flight were made. Additional computation was made for the UH-60A rotor in forward flight. Reasonable agreements were obtained between the present results and the experiment.

Due to its computational efficiency and geometrical flexibility, the Method of Characteristics (MOC) has been widely used for light water reactor lattice physics analysis. Usually acceleration methods are necessary for MOC to achieve acceptable convergence on practical reactor physics problems. Among them, Coarse Mesh Finite Difference (CMFD) is very popular and can drastically reduce the number of transport iterations. In OpenMOC, CMFD acceleration was implemented but had the limitation of supporting only a uniform CMFD mesh, which would often lead to splitting MOC source regions, thus creating an unnecessary increase in computation and memory use. In this study, CMFD acceleration with a non-uniform Cartesian mesh is implemented into OpenMOC. We also propose a quadratic fit based CMFD prolongation method in the axial direction to further improve the acceleration when multiple MOC source regions are contained in one CMFD coarse mesh. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the improvement of the CMFD acceleration capability in OpenMOC in terms of both efficiency and stability.

일반적으로 주조품은 복잡한 형상을 가지고 있고, 한 제품 내에서 두께의 차이가 현저하게 나는 경우가 있어 시뮬레이션을 위한 격자를 생성할 때 어려움이 있다. 주조 유동은 이상유동으로 수치해석을 할 때 공기와 용탕의 경계면을 추적해야하며 밀도차에 의한 압력장 계산에 많은 시간이 소요된다. 이와 같은 이유로 주조유동해석에는 직교격자가 주로 이용되어왔다. 그러나 직교격자는 형상을 제대로 표현하지 못한다. 곡면에서 나타나는 계단형상 격자로 인해 모멘텀 손실이 발생하고 이로 인해 용탕의 흐름이 달라질 수 있으며 결과적으로 잘못된 주조 방안 설계를 할 수 있다. 이를 피하기 위하여 직교격자계에서 형상을 좀 더 정확하게 표현하기 위하여 많은 수의 격자를 생성하여 해석을 한다. 또는 직교격자계에서 발생하는 문제를 수치적으로 보완하는 Cut Cell 방법을 적용하여 해석하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 직교격자계에서 주조유동해석을 할 때 격자수에 따른 해석결과와 Cut Cell 방법을 적용한 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 주조공정별로 실제제품을 주조유동해석을 하고 공정별로 Cut Cell 방법을 적용한 결과를 고찰하였다.

There are many difficult problems in analyzing the flow characteristics in a high voltage circuit breaker such as shock wave and complex geometries, which may be either static or in relative motion. Although a variety of mesh generation techniques are now available, the generation of meshes around complicated, multicomponent geometries like a gas circuit breaker is still a tedious and difficult task for the computational fluid dynamics. This paper presents the computational method for analyzing the compressible flow fields in a high voltage gas circuit breaker using the Cartesian cut-cell method based on the CFD-CAD integration, which can achieve the accurate representation of the geometry designed by a CAD tools. The technique is frequently satisfied, and it will be almost universally so in the future, as the CFD-CAD traffic increases.

The 3-noded metric Timoshenko beam element with an offset of the internal node from the element centre is used here to demonstrate the best-fit paradigm using function space formulation under locking and mesh distortion. The best-fit paradigm follows from the projection theorem describing finite element analysis which shows that the stresses computed by the displacement finite element procedure are the best approximation of the true stresses at an element level as well as global level. In this paper, closed form best-fit solutions are arrived for the 3-noded Timoshenko beam element through function space formulation by combining field consistency requirements and distortion effects for the element modelled in metric Cartesian coordinates. It is demonstrated through projection theorems how lock-free best-fit solutions are arrived even under mesh distortion by using a consistent definition for the shear strain field. It is shown how the field consistency enforced finite element solution differ from the best-fit solution by an extraneous response resulting from an additional spurious force vector. However, it can be observed that when the extraneous forces vanish fortuitously, the field consistent solution coincides with the best-fit strain solution.

It is important to develop new effective technologies to increase the interruption capacity and to reduce the size of a UB(Gas Circuit Breakers). Major design parameters such as nozzle geometries and interrupting chamber dimensions affect the cooling of the arc and the breaking performance. But it is not easy to test real GCB model in practice as in theory. Therefore, a simulation tool based on a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) algorithm has been developed to facilitate an optimization of the interrupter. Special attention has been paid to the supersonic flow phenomena between contacts and the observation of hat-gas flow for estimating the breaking performance. However, there are many difficult problems in calculating the flow characteristics in a GCB such as shock wave and complex geometries, which may be either static or in relative motion. Although a number of mesh generation techniques are now available, the generation of meshes around complicated, multi-component geometries like a GCB is still a tedious and difficult task for the computational fluid dynamics. This paper presents the CFD program using CFB-CAD integration technique based on Cartesian cut-cell method, which could reduce researcher's efforts to generate the mesh and achieve the accurate representation of the geometry designed by a CAD tools.
