The computation size and accuracy in the boundary element method are mutually coupled and strongly influenced by the formulations in boundary discretization and integration. This aspect is studied numerically for two-dimensional elastodynamic problems in the frequency-domain. The localized nature of error is observed in the computed results. A boundary discretization criterion is examined. The number of integration points in the boundary integration is studied to find the optimum number for accuracy. Useful information is obtained concerning the optimization in boundary discretization and integration.

The finite volume time domain(FVTD) technique faces serious limitations in simulating electromagnetic scattering at high frequencies due to requirements related to discretization. A modified FVTD method is proposed for electrically large, perfectly conducting scatterers by partially incorporating a time-domain physical optics(PO) approximation for the surface current. Dominant specular returns in the modified FVTD method are modeled using a PO approximation of the surface current allowing for a much coarser discretization at high electrical sizes compared to the original FVTD scheme. This coarse discretization can be based on the minimum surface resolution required for a satisfactory numerical evaluation of the PO integral for the scattered far-field. Non-uniform discretization and spatial accuracy can also be used in the context of the modified FVTD method. The modified FVTD method is aimed at simulating electromagnetic scattering from geometries containing long smooth illuminated sections with respect to the incident wave. The computational efficiency of the modified FVTD method for higher electrical sizes are shown by solving two-dimensional test cases involving electromagnetic scattering from a circular cylinder and a symmetric airfoil.

An output time delay always exists in practical systems. Analysis of the delay phenomenon in a continuous-time domain is sophisticated. It is appropriate to obtain its corresponding discrete-time model for implementation via a digital computer. A new method for the discretization of nonlinear systems using Taylor series expansion and the zero-order hold assumption is proposed in this paper. This method is applied to the sampled-data representation of a nonlinear system with a constant output time-delay. In particular, the effect of the time-discretization method on key properties of nonlinear control systems, such as equilibrium properties and asymptotic stability, is examined. In addition, 'hybrid' discretization schemes resulting from a combination of the 'scaling and squaring' technique with the Taylor method are also proposed, especially under conditions of very low sampling rates. A performance of the proposed method is evaluated using two nonlinear systems with time-delay output.

An input time delay always exists in practical systems. Analysis of the delay phenomenon in a continuous-time domain is sophisticated. It is appropriate to obtain its corresponding discrete-time model for implementation via digital computers. In this paper a new scheme for the discretization of nonlinear systems using Taylor series expansion and the zero-order hold assumption is proposed. The mathematical structure of the new discretization method is analyzed. On the basis of this structure the sampled-data representation of nonlinear systems with time-delayed multi-input is presented. The delayed multi-input general equation has been derived. In particular, the effect of the time-discretization method on key properties of nonlinear control systems, such as equilibrium properties and asymptotic stability, is examined. Additionally, hybrid discretization schemes that result from a combination of the scaling and squaring technique (SST) with the Taylor series expansion are also proposed, especially under conditions of very low sampling rates. Practical issues associated with the selection of the method's parameters to meet CPU time and accuracy requirements, are examined as well. A performance of the proposed method is evaluated using a nonlinear system with time delay maneuvering an automobile.

In the previous work, the authors studied the problem of robust discretization of linear time-invariant systems with polytopic uncertainties, where linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions were developed to find an approximate discrete-time (DT) model of a continuous-time (CT) system with uncertainties in polytopic domain. The system matrices of obtained DT model preserved the polytopic structures of the original CT system. In this paper, we extend the previous approach to solve the problem of robust discretization of polytopic uncertain systems with aperiodic sampling. In contrast with the previous work, the sampling period is assumed to be unknown, time-varying, but contained within a known interval. The solution procedures are presented in terms of unidimensional optimizations subject to LMI constraints which are numerically tractable via LMI solvers. Finally, an example is given to show the validity of the proposed techniques.

시간유한요소법은 시간영역을 고정시키고 행렬 미분방정식 형태의 공간전파 관계식을 풂으로써 시간과 공간에 대한 동적 해석을 수행하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 공간이산화 유한요소법이나 시/공간 동시이산화 유한요소법에 비해 공간에 관한 자유도가 발생하는 것이 두드러진 특징으로, 이를 이용하여 분포형 구동기의 공간에 따른 특성을 최적화하는 데에 효율적으로 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 임의의 초기조건을 반영할 수 있도록 구성된 상태변수 벡터를 이용하여 구조물을 시간영역에서 이산화하고, 공간영역에서 전파관계식 및 경계조건을 이용하여 공간전파 관계식을 형성하였다. 이 때 구동기의 공간에 따른 형상 분포는 설계되어야 할 변수의 함수이고, 시간반응은 형상함수를 이용하여 이산화 하였다. 포텐셜 에너지 및 운동에너지를 구조물의 변위제어에 적절한 최적의 성능지수로 설정하고, 이를 최소화하도록 미지의 함수인 구동기의 분포형상을 구하였다. 일반적으로 구조물은 임의의 초기조건에서 외란을 받게 되나, 본 연구에서는 구현가능한 제어법칙을 이용하여 최종시간에서 안정화(rest) 조건을 만족한다고 가정하였다. 구동기 분포형상 최적화를 위해 상태/준상태 방정식을 유도하였다. 서브행렬 재형상화와 시/공간 경계조건을 통해 상태변수와 준상태변수에 대한 Ricatti 미분방정식을 유도하였다. 이를 통해 구동기 분포형상 최적화를 구현하였으며, 수치 시뮬레이션을 통해 적절한 구동기의 분포형상 최적화를 수행할 수 있음을 보였다.

In the present study, a parallel Taylor-Galerkin/level set based two-phase flow code was developed using finite element discretization and domain decomposition method based on MPI (Message Passing Interface). The proposed method can be utilized for the analysis of a large scale free surface problem in a complex geometry due to the feature of FEM and domain decomposition method. Four-step fractional step method was used for the solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and Taylor-Galerkin method was adopted for the discretization of hyperbolic type redistancing and advection equations. A Parallel ILU(0) type preconditioner was chosen to accelerate the convergence of a conjugate gradient type iterative solvers. From the present parallel numerical experiments, it has been shown that the proposed method is applicable to the simulation of large scale free surface flows.

The numerical dispersive characteristics and the numerical stability confition of the Multi-Resolution Time-Domain(MRTD) method are calculated. A dispersion analysis of the MRTD schemes including a comparison to Yee's Finite-Difference Time-Domain(FDTD) method is given. The superiority of the MRTD method to the spatial discretization is shown. The required computational memory can be reduced by using the MRTD method. We expect that the MRTD method will be very useful method for numerical modelling of electromagnetics.

This paper presents a numerical study on multigrid algorithms of V-cycle type for problems posed in the Hilbert space H(curl) in three dimensions. The multigrid methods are designed for discrete problems originated from the discretization using the hexahedral Nédélec edge element of the lowest-order. Our suggested methods are associated with smoothers constructed by substructuring based on domain decomposition methods of nonoverlapping type. Numerical experiments to demonstrate the robustness and the effectiveness of the suggested algorithms are also provided.

A Numerical study of laminar vortex-shedding past a circular cylinder has been performed widely by many researchers. Many factors, such as numerical technique and domain size, number and shape of grid, affected predicting vortex shedding and Strouhal number. In the present study, the effect of convection scheme, time discretization methods and grid dependence were investigated. The present paper presents the finite volume solution of unsteady flow past circular cylinder at Re=200, 400. The Strouhal number was predicted using UDS, CDS, Hybrid, Power-law, LUDS, QUICK scheme for convection term, implicit and crank-nicolson methods for time discretization. The grid dependence was investigated using H-type mesh and O-type mesh. It also studied that the effect of mesh size of the nearest adjacent grid of circular cylinder. The effect of convection scheme is greater than the effect of time discretization on predicting Strouhal. It has been found that the predicted Strouhal number changed with mesh size and shape.
