The BEAVRS (Benchmark for Evaluation and Validation of Reactor Simulation) benchmark calculations were performed by DeCART stand-alone and DeCART/MATRA multi-physics coupled code system to verify their accuracy. The solutions of DeCART stand-alone calculations for the control rod bank worth, detector signal, isothermal temperature coefficient, and critical boron concentration agreed very well with the measurements. The root-mean-square errors of the boron letdown curves for two-cycles were less than about 20 ppm, while the individual and total control rod bank worth agreed well within 7.3% and 2.4%, respectively. For the BEAVRS benchmark calculations at the beginning of burnup, the difference between DeCART simplified thermal-hydraulic stand-alone and DeCART/MATRA coupled calculations were not significantly large. Therefore, it is concluded that both the DeCART stand-alone code and the DeCART/MATRA multi-physics coupled code system have the capabilities to generate high fidelity transport solutions at core follow calculations.

Virtually every digital signal processors(DSPs) support on-chip multi- memory banks that allow the processor to access multiple words of data from memory in a single instruction cycle. Also, all existing fixed-point DSPs have irregular architecture of heterogeneous register which contains multiple register files that are distributed and dedicated to different sets of instructions. Although there have been several studies conducted to efficiently assign data to multi-memory banks, most of them assumed processors with relatively simple, homogeneous general-purpose resisters. Therefore, several vendor-provided compilers fer DSPs were unable to efficiently assign data to multiple data memory banks. thereby often failing to generate highly optimized code fer their machines. This paper presents an algorithm that helps the compiler to efficiently assign data to multi- memory banks. Our algorithm differs from previous work in that it assigns variables to memory banks in separate, decoupled code generation phases, instead of a single, tightly-coupled phase. The experimental results have revealed that our decoupled algorithm greatly simplifies our code generation process; thus our compiler runs extremely fast, yet generates target code that is comparable In quality to the code generated by a coupled approach

Characteristics of high temperature rocket nozzle flow is discussed along with the aspects of computational analysis. Three methods of nozzle flow analysis, frozen-equilibrium, shifting-equilibrium and non-equilibrium approaches, were discussed, those were coupled with the methods of computational fluid dynamics code. A chemical equilibrium code developed for the analysis of general hydrocarbon fuel was coupled with three approaches of nozzle flow analysis. The approaches were used for the performance prediction of KSR-III Rocket, and compared with the theoretical results from NASA CEA (Chemical Equilibrium with Applications) code.

In this study, the coupled simulation of fuel injection model and three-dimensional KIVA-3V code was tried to develop an algorism for predicting the effects of varying fuel injection parameter on the characteristics of fuel injection and emissions. The numerical simulations were performed using STAR-CD code in order to calculate the intake air flow, and the combustion characteristics is examined by KIVA-3V code linked with the conditional moment closure(CMC) model to predict mean turbulent reaction rate. Parametric investigation with respect to twelve relevant injection parameters shows that appropriate modification of control chamber orifice diameter, needle valve spring constant and nozzle chamber orifice diameter can significantly reduce NOx and soot emissions. Consequently, it is needed to optimize the fuel injection system to reduce the specific emissions such as NOx and soot.

Sloshing phenomenon is a complicated free surface flow problem that increases the dynamic pressure on the sidewalls and the bottom of the storage tanks. When the storage tanks are partially filled, it is essential to be able to evaluate the fluid dynamic loads on the tank's perimeter. In this paper, a numerical code was developed to determine the pressure distribution on the rectangular and trapezoidal storage tanks' perimeters due to liquid sloshing phenomenon. Assuming the fluid to be inviscid, the Laplace equation and the nonlinear free surface boundary conditions were solved using coupled boundary element - finite element method. The code performance for sloshing modeling was validated using Nakayama and Washizu's results. Finally, this code was used for partially filled rectangular and trapezoidal storage tanks and free surface displacement, pressure distribution and horizontal and vertical forces exerted on the tanks' perimeters due to liquid sloshing phenomenon were estimated and discussed.

A computer code for solving the 3-D time-dependent multigroup neutron diffusion equation by a coupled reactor kinetics method recently developed has been developed and for evaluating its applicability in CANDU transient analysis applied to a 3-D kinetics benchmark problem which reveals non-uniform loss of coolant accident followed by an asymmetric insertion of shutdown devices. The performance of the method and code has been compared with the CANDU design code, CERBERUS, employing a finite difference improved quasistatic method.

This paper proposes thermometer-code latches having five and six transistors for unidirectional and bidirectional thermometer-code shift-registers, respectively. The proposed latches omit the set and reset transistors by changing from two supply voltage nodes to the set and reset signals in the cross-coupled inverter. They set or reset the data by changing the supply voltage to ground in either of two inverters. They reduce the number of transistors to five and six compared with the conventional thermometer-code latches having six and eight transistors, respectively. The proposed thermometer-code latches were simulated using a 65 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. For comparison, the proposed and conventional latches are adapted to the 64 bit thermometer-code shift-registers. The proposed unidirectional and bidirectional shift-registers occupy 140 ㎛² and 197 ㎛², respectively. Their consumption powers are 4.6 ㎼ and 5.3 ㎼ at a 100 MHz clock frequency with the supply voltage of 1.2 V. They decrease the areas by 16% and 13% compared with the conventional thermometer-code shift-register.

This study dealt with the free vibration of two identical rectangular plates coupled with fluid. In order to investigate the vibration characteristics of fluid-coupled rectangular plates, an analytical method based on the finite Fourier series expansion and Rayleigh-Ritz method was suggested. A commercial computer code, ANSYS was used to perform finite element analysis and we investigated the vibration characteristics with mode shapes and natural frequencies. As a result, the transverse vibration modes, in-phase and out-of-phase, were observed alternately in the fluid-coupled system. The effect of fluid bounding and plate boundary condition on the fluid-coupled natural frequency were investigated. It was shown that the mode numbers increased, the normalized natural frequencies monotonically increased.

The steady-state response for a coupled structure-acoustic-cavity systme has been investigated by numerical technique using a directly coupled finite element method(FEM) and Boundary Element Method(BEM) model. The Laplace tranformed matrix equations for the structure and the acoustic cavity are coupled directly satisfying the necessary equilibrium and compatibility conditions. The coupled FEM-BEM code is verified by comparing its prediction for an example with known analytical, numerical and experimental results. The example involves a coupled structure-acoustic-cavity system which is a box-type cavity with one end as experimentally excited pinned-pinned plate.
