An active flow control technique based on "smart-tabs" is proposed to delay flow separation on a circular cylinder. The actuators are retractable and orientable multilayer piezoelectric tabs which protrude perpendicularly from the model surface. They are mounted along the spanwise direction with constant spacing. The effectiveness of the control was tested in pre-critical and in post-critical regime by evaluating the effects of several control parameters of the tabs like frequency, amplitude, height, angular position and plate incidence with respect to the local flow. Measurements of the mean static pressure distribution around the cylinder were used to estimate the pressure drag coefficient. The maximum drag reduction achieved in the pre-critical regime was of the order of 30%, whereas in the post-critical regime was about 10%, 3% of which due to active forcing. Furthermore, pressure fluctuation measurements were performed and spectral analysis indicated an almost complete suppression of the vortex shedding in active forcing conditions.

A systematic analysis is made of suboptimal control for drag reduction. The influence of the amplitude of actuation (A) and the time scale of actuation ($\Delta$t(sub)a(sup)+) is evaluated. Two wall sensing variables are employed (∂w/∂y│(sub)w and ∂p/∂z│(sub)w) with two wall actuations (${\Phi}$$_2$and ${\Phi}$$_3$). To test the suboptimal control, direct numerical simulations of turbulent channel flow at Re(sub)$\tau$=100 are performed in a spectral domain. It is found that the effect of A and $\Delta$t(sub)a(sup)+∼1. The near-wall behaviors of flow structure are analyzed to characterize the drag reduction. The size effect of the sensor/actuator is examined.

This paper proposes a framework for determining the minimum load shedding for restoring solvability. The framework includes a continuation power flow (CPF) and an optimal power flow (OPF). The CPF parameterizes a specified outage from a set of multiple contingencies causing unsolvable cases, and it traces the path of solutions with respect to the parameter variation. At the nose point of the path, sensitivity analysis is performed in order to achieve the most effective control location for load shedding. Using the control location information, the OPF for locating the minimum load shedding is executed in order to restore power flow solvability. It is highlighted that the framework systematically determines control locations and the proper amount of load shedding. In a numerical simulation, an illustrative example of the proposed framework is shown by applying it to the New England 39 bus system.

Perforated wall has long been employed to control a variety of flow phenomena. It has been, in general, characterized by a porosity of the perforated wall. However, this porosity value does not take account of the number and detailed shape of porous holes, but is defined by only the ratio of the perforated area to total wall surface area. In order to quantify the porous wall effects on the flow control performance, an effective porosity should be known with the detailed flow properties inside the porous holes. In the present study, a theoretical analysis using a small disturbance method is performed to investigate detailed flow information through porous hole and a computational work is also carried out using the two-dimensional, compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Both the results are compared with existing experimental data. The gasdynamical porosity is defined to elucidate the effect of perforated wall.

측 추력 제트는 유도무기의 자세제어 및 궤도 천이 기동을 하는 데 있어 기존의 핀과 같이 제어 면을 이용한 방식보다 우수한 기동성을 갖는다. 하지만 초음속 영역에서 비행 시 측 추력 제트로 인한 제트 간섭 유동이 발생하며 충격파와 경계층 유동, 와류 유동의 상호 작용으로 인해 매우 복잡한 유동 구조를 나타낸다. 특히 직격 파괴(hit-to-kill) 방식의 요격체의 경우 정밀한 제어 및 기동이 요구되기 때문에 제트 간섭 유동이 미치는 영향에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 기존의 제트 간섭 해석은 저고도 운용 조건에서 주로 수행되었으나 중고도 운용 조건의 경우 해석 사례가 많지 않으며 대기 조건으로 인해 분사 제트 유동이 상대적으로 크게 발달하는 특징을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 중고도에서 비행하는 요격체 형상에 대해 받음각 조건에 따라 제트 간섭 유동 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과를 바탕으로 유동장의 구조적인 변화 특성을 분석하였으며, 공력 계수의 변화를 비교하였다.

In this paper, a novel traffic flow control method based-on ramp metering and speed regulation using an adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) method along with a deadzoned parameter adaptation law is proposed at a stochastic macroscopic level traffic environment, where the influence of the density and speed disturbances is accounted for in the traffic dynamic equations. The goal of this paper is to design a local traffic flow controller using both ramp metering and speed regulation based on ASMC, in order to achieve the desired density and speed for the maintenance of the maximum mainline throughput against disturbances in practice. The proposed method is advantageous in that it can improve the traffic flow performance compared to the traditional methods using only ramp metering, even in the presence of ramp storage limitation and disturbances. Moreover, a prior knowledge of disturbance magnitude is not required in the process of designing the controller unlike the conventional sliding mode controller. A stability analysis is presented to show that the traffic system under the proposed traffic flow control method is guaranteed to be uniformly bounded and its ultimate bound can be adjusted to be sufficiently small in terms of deadzone. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated under different traffic situations (i.e., different initial traffic status), in the sense that the proposed control method is capable of stabilizing traffic flow better than the previously well-known Asservissement Lineaire d'Entree Autoroutiere (ALINEA) strategy and also feedback linearization control (FLC) method.

Weld line is one of serious troubles which are observed in a plastic part manufactured by a injection molding process. This is caused by many process factors, which are molding pressure, temperature, velocity, location of a injection gate, mold geometry and material properties. investigation on the effects of these process factors to the appearance of a weld line was carried out using a finite element method. Filling and packing analyses were carried out by modifying both the configuration of the injection gates and cavity thickness. Proper locations of the injection gates could be determined by considering molding pressure, temperature, velocity and frozen layer, and whereby the weld line was controled. In order to make a weak appearance of the weld line, flow velocity and flow front in a cavity were also investigated by modifying a cavity thickness. As a result, flow front was extended around the corner in the cavity by changing the flow velocity and hence the appearance of the weld line was much weakened.

This study result is obtained by flow analysis according to opening and shutting angle of ball valve. As opening and shutting angle becomes larger, vortex flow becomes smaller and flow rate becomes increased. And the pressure drop is shown to be smaller at the inlet and outlet of ball. As this angle becomes larger, mass flow rate becomes increased. Its rate becomes increased abruptly in case of opening and shutting angle at more than $60^{\circ}$.This analysis result can be applied usefully with no leak at pipe system field by the optimum control of mass flow rate according to opening and shutting of ball valve.

The underwater launch system using an ATP consists of five parts: compressor tank, proportional flow control servo valve, expulsion spool valve, air turbine pump, and discharge tube. The purpose of this study is to develop an underwater launch system using an ATP and to verify the validity of the system. The proportional flow control servo valve is modeled as a 2nd order transfer function. The projectile is ejected by pressurized water through the air turbine pump, which is controlled by expulsion valve. The mathematical model is derived to estimate the dynamic characteristics of the system, and the important design parameters are derived by using simulations. The computer simulation results show the dynamic characteristics and the possibility of control for underwater launch system.
