The aim of radiosurgery cures a patient to deliver the lower dose at the normal organ and the higher dose at the tumor. Therefore accuracy of the dose is required to gain effect of radiosurgery in surgical planning. In this paper, we developed the methods of target approximation for a fast treatment planning. Nominally, the stereotactic radiosurgery(SRS) using Linac and Gamma knife produces spherical dose distribution through circular collimators using multiple arcs and 201 holes on semi-spherical helmet by $^{60}Co$. We developed an automatic radiosurgical plan about spherical packing arrangement. To automatically plan the SRS, new planning methods based on cylinder and cube structure for target shaping was developed. This approach using heuristic and stochastic algorithm is a useful radiosurgical plan without restrictions in the various tumor shapes and the different modalities.

The technology development for ocean resources can be represented by the increase of water depth. TLP, Tension Leg Platform, is one of the most feasible systems for deep sea development. TLPs show a complex dynamic behavior resulting from the dynamic interactions among platform, tether system and riser system due to their hydrodynamic and structural dynamic characteristics in waves. This paper aims at the theoretical and experimental analysis on motion response of TLP in waves. It is composed of two parts as follows ；(1) wave and wave loadings (2) TLP motion.

The numerical step in the unsteady viscous flow analysis can be divided in the space analysis step satisfying continuity equation and the time marching step. In this study the spectral method is applied to solve the pressure Poisson equation in the space analysis step. If the highest order differential term of the pressure Poisson equation is transformed by Fourier series, pressure arid its first derivatives can be expressed by the integral form of Fourier series. So Gibb's phenomena can be eliminated and the spectral method can be applied to non-periodic problems. The numerical analysis of unsteady viscous flow around 2-dimensional circular cylinder and wing is carried out and compared for verification.

High-Speed train has been developed and it becomes faster and environmental friendly. As trains run faster, Noise of trains is generated mainly by aerodynamic disturbance. Pantograph, both ends of trains, and gaps of coaches which are thought to be aerodynamic noise's factors are primarily studied. Pantograph is a similarly shaped metal framework on the roof of an electric high speed train, transmitting current from an overhead electric catenary wire. Panhead which contacts electric wires directly looks like a bluff strut, goes through flows, is sensitive to external disturbances and is one of the most important factors which decide whole vehicles' driving ability. In this study, aerodynamically robust optimized pantograph panhead shape is designed and then evaluated through subsonic wind tunnel test. To compare these with existing panhead rectangular shapes or circular cylinder shapes, By visualizing strong vortex flow patterns which are main noise sources, characteristics are compared and analyzed

This paper presents the vibration characteristics of a cantilever beam in contact with a fluid using a PZT actuator and PVDF film. dynamic behaviors of a flexible beam-water interaction system are examined. The effect of the liquid level on free vibration of the composite beam in a partially liquid-filled circular cylinder is investigated. The coupled system is subject to an undisturbed boundary condition un the fluid domain. In the vibration analysis of a wetted beam. the decoupled analyses between beam and fluid have been conventionally employed by considering first the composite beam vibration in the all and secondly Performing the correction taking account for surrounding fluid effects. That is, this investigation was to look at how natural frequencies, mode shapes. and damping are affected by liquid level variations. The signals from the sensor according to the applied input voltage are digitalized and filtered in order to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the composite beam in contact with fluid. It was found that the coupled natural frequencies decreased with the fluid level for the identical composite beam due to added mass effect. In case of the free-free boundary condition, the natural frequency gently decreased at fluid water level between 20% and 80% in the first tending mode and we found out the bends of stair shape for added mass effect of the fluid.

The nonlinear hydrodynamic forces acting on a two-dimensional circular cylinder, oscillating with large amplitude in the free surface, are calculated by using the Semi-Lagrangian Time-Step-ping Method used by O.M. Faltinsen. In present calculation the position and the potential value of free surface are calculated using the exact kinematic and dynamic free surface boundary condition. At each time step an integral equation is solved to obtain the value of potential and normal velocity along the boundaries, consisting of both the body surface and the free surface. Some effort was devoted to the elimination of instability arising in the range of high frequency. Numerical simulations were performed up to the 3rd or 4th period which seems to be enough for the transient effect to die out. Each harmonic component and time-mean force are obtained by the Fourier transform of forces in time domain. The results are compared with others' experimental and theoretical results. Particularly, the calculation shows the tendency that the acceleration-phase 1st-harmonic component(added mass) increases as the motion amplitude increases and a reverse tendency in the velocity-phase 1st-harmonic component(damping coefficient). The Yamashita's experimental result also shows the same tendency. In general, the present result show relatively good agreement with the Yamashita's experimental result except for the time-mean force.

Prediction of ship's signature of RCS(Radar Cross Section) and TES(Target Echo Strength) is mostly required in the initial design stage of naval craft, because RCS is directly related to the radar detection while TES to the sonar detection. In this research, a numerical scheme using a curved-patch physical optics method is proposed to evaluate signature of a perfectly reflecting curved object. The scheme is validated by comparing numerical RCS values of circular cylinder, sphere and NACA3317 airfoil with available data. It is also further applied to predict RCS of a surfaced submarine and TES of fully submerged one. Major reflectors of the surfaced or submerged submarine for the various incident angles of radar and sonar waves are investigated as well.

An experimental research program providing knowledge to measure two-dimensional skin friction variation over a certain region of model surface is presented. In the oil-fringe imaging skin friction(FISF) technique, local slope of a thin oil applied on a test surface is measured from the interference fringe patterns on the oil surface, and its information is then related to the applied shear over the oil by the thin-oil lubrication theory. The FISF technique has been applied for a separation flowfield ahead of a circular cylinder vertically mounted on a flat plate, and it has been found that the FISF skin friction results show good comparison with the other numerical/experimental data obtained for similar conditions. implying an applicability of the technique.

The non-staggered(collocated) grid approach in which all the solution variables are located at the centers of control volumes is very popular for incompressible flow analyses because of its numerical efficiency on the curvilinear or unstructured grids. Rhie and Chow's paper is the first in using non-staggered grid method for SIMPLE algorithm, where pressure weighted interpolation was used to prevent decoupling of pressure and velocity. But it has been known that this non-staggered grid method has stability problems when pressure fields are nonlinear like in natural convection flows. Also Rhie-Chow scheme generates large numerical diffusion near curved walls. The cause of these unwanted problems is too large pressure damping term compared to the magnitude of face velocity. In this study the magnitude of pressure damping term of Rhie-Chow's method is limited to 1∼10% of face velocity to prevent physically unreasonable solutions. The wall pressure extrapolation which is necessary for cell-centered FVM is another source of numerical errors. Some methods are applied in a unstructured FV solver and analyzed in view of numerical accuracy. Here, two natural convection problems are solved to check the effect of the Rhie-Chow's method on numerical stability. And numerical diffusion from Rhie-Chow's method is studied by solving the inviscid flow around a circular cylinder.
