  • Computational science is at an early stage and is not yet fully active, and the high-performance computing required in the field of computational science is at present a special subject of parallel and distributed computing in computer science. Additionally, there are too few education courses which teach high-performance computing from basic to advanced levels. In this study, we derive the knowledge units needed to learn high-performance computing, an important research tool in computational science. Using ACM the Computer Science Curricula 2013 (CS2013), we examine the validity and reliability of 89 knowledge units and eleven knowledge units with high validity and reliability, after which nine core knowledge units and two optional knowledge units are proposed. The eleven proposed knowledge units are expected to contribute to the development of the high-performance computing curriculum necessary to teach computational science.

  • The importance of software in the engineering field is increasing day by day, so the utilization and understanding of the simulation software in the engineering design stage has become the core competence of the engineer. This study presents a new software education method for multiple systems in the field of mechanical engineering using a workflow execution environment as a sub-module of a computational platform (called EDISON platform) that can incorporate in-house software tools developed by many simulation tool developers. It can execute not only individual software tools such as fluid flow, structure, optimal design, but also conduct connective executions of multiple software tools. Based on this simulation environment, a methodology was proposed that can be applied to convergence types of engineering educations. By properly using this methodology, it is expected that beginning engineers could encourage their specialties understanding the big pictures of the analysis processes.

  • To improve the recognition accuracy of a developed artificial odor discrimination system for three mixture fragrance recognition, Fuzzy Similarity based Self-Organized Network inspired by Immune Algorithm (F-SONIA) is proposed. Minimum, average, and maximum values of fragrance data acquisitions are used to form triangular fuzzy numbers. Then the fuzzy similarity treasure is used to define the relationship between fragrance inputs and connection strengths of hidden units. The fuzzy similarity is defined as the maximum value of the intersection region between triangular fuzzy set of input vectors and the connection strengths of hidden units. In experiments, performances of the proposed method is compared with the conventional Self-Organized Network inspired by Immune Algorithm (SONIA), and the Fuzzy Learning Vector Quantization (FLVQ). Experiments show that F-SONIA improves recognition accuracy of SONIA by 3-9%. Comparing to the previously developed artificial odor discrimination system that used FLVQ as pattern classifier, the recognition accuracy is increased by 14-25%.

  • We develop a numerical method for solving the radiation hydrodynamic equations in one-dimensional spherical coordinates. The present method is validated through simulations of shock tube, thermal radiative diffusion and point explosion problems. The transient growth of the fireball is investigated by varying explosion yields. The present study clearly captures well-known breakaway phenomena related to the shock separation between pressure waves and thermal shock front. The fireball radius at the breakaway point is roughly increased by the yield to power of 0.4.

  • We develop a novel immersed boundary (IB) method based on implicit direct forcing scheme for incompressible flows. The proposed IB method is based on an iterative procedure for calculating the direct forcing coupled with the momentum equations in order to satisfy no-slip boundary conditions on IB surfaces. We perform simulations of two-dimensional flows over a circular cylinder for low and moderate Reynolds numbers. The present method shows that the errors for estimated velocities on IB surfaces are significantly reduced even for low Reynolds number with a fairly large time step while the previous methods based on direct forcing failed to provide no-slip boundary conditions on IB surfaces.

  • In this study, we designed and applied the learning program of various algorithms about computer science, which were based on computational thinking, to prospective elementary school teachers who were non-majors of this field. While they were learning, they could understand two fundamental functions of computational thinking: abstraction and automation. This learning program made them change their perceptions about computer science positively. They had been interested in learning algorithms and computer science itself, and they felt confident about teaching it.

  • As computer technology continues to evolve, the Computational Sciences utilized in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, and Life Sciences have been attracting more attention. In Korea, to compensate for the drawbacks in Computational Science, students and researchers have been using the EDISON platform. The EDISON platform provides a web portal service for education and research and an environment for addressing complex issues involving five fields, e.g., Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Nanophysics, Computational Chemistry, Structural Dynamics, and Computational Design. As the platform and user scale increase beyond service provision, the need for efficient operation of its currently running data management system is on the rise. In this study, we resolve the data synchronization issues between the existing EDISON platform and web portal. As the EDISON platform is integrated with the web portal, a file management service is implemented to integrate the management of user data and files, which ultimately improves the overall efficiency of file management.

  • 계산과학공학 및 여러 과학분야에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통한 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있다. 하지만 정확도 및 복잡도가 높아짐에 따라 시뮬레이션을 수행하는 비용도 크게 증가하고 있다. 특히 여러 입력 변수를 변화시켜가며 시뮬레이션을 수행하는 경우, 시뮬레이션 수행 비용은 더욱 커진다. 하지만 지금까지는 이전에 수행된 시뮬레이션 결과를 재활용하는 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 이와 관련된 연구들을 살펴보고, 기존 시뮬레이션 결과를 사용하여 반복 요청된 시뮬레이션에 대한 결과를 즉시 반환하거나 유사 시뮬레이션에 대한 결과를 예측하는 시스템을 설계한다. 본 논문에서 설계한 시스템을 통해, 사용자는 시뮬레이션을 수행하지 않고도 반복 또는 유사 시뮬레이션에 대한 결과를 빠르게 얻을 수 있다.
