Numerical simulation of fluid flow with moving free surface has been carried out. For the free surface flow, a VOF(Volume of Fluid)-based algorithm utilizing a fixed grid system has been investigated. In order to reduce numerical smearing at the free surface represented on a fixed grid system, a new free surface tracking algorithm based on the donor-acceptor scheme has been presented. Novel features of the proposed algorithm are characterized as two numerical tools; the orientation vector to represent the free surface orientation in each cell and the baby-cell to determine the fluid volume flux at each cell boundary. The proposed algorithm can be easily implemented in any irregular non-uniform grid systems that are usual in finite element method (FEM). Moreover, the proposed algorithm can be extended and applied to the 3-D free surface flow problem without additional efforts. For computation of unsteady incompressible flow, a finite element approximation based on the explicit fractional step method has been adopted. In addition, the SUPG(streamline upwind/Petrov-Galerkin) method has been implemented to deal with convection dominated flows. Combination of the proposed free surface tracking scheme and explicit fractional step formulation resulted in an efficient solution algorithm. Validity of the present solution algorithm was demonstrated from its application to the broken dam and the solitary wave propagation problems.

In the present study, a CFD program based on a finite volume method was developed by using an unstructured polyhedral grid system for the accurate simulation with the complex geometry of computational domain. To simulate the transient flow induced by the moving solid object, the program used a fractional step method and a ALE (Algebric Lagrangian-Eulerian) method. The grid deformation for the moving of solid object were performed with a spring analogy based on the center coordinate of each computational grid. To verify the present program with these methodologies, the numerical results of the flow around the fixed and oscillating circular cylinder were compared with the previous numerical results.

In this paper, flowfield and acoustic-field around moving bodies are simulated by the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation in FDLBM. The effect of the ALE is checked by comparing flow about a square cylinder in ALE formulation and that in the fixed coordinates, and the results show good agreement. Matching procedure between the moving grid and fixed grid is also considered. The applied method in which the both grids are connected through buffer zone is shown to be superior to moving overlapped grid. Dipole-like emissions of sound wave from harmonically vibrating bodies in 2- and 3-dimensional cases are simulated.

Eulerian개념을 사용한 격자계 내 임의의 경계면 주위 점성유동 해석에서, 운동하며 변형하는 경계면 근방 해의 정도를 향상시키기 위해서 격자생성시 경계면으로 격자점들을 집중시켜주는 레벨셋법에 바탕을 둔 격자변형법을 도입하였다. 본 연구에서는 격자점들을 경계면 근방으로 집중되는 정도를 용이하게 조절할 수 있도록 새로운 형태의 모니터함수를 제시하였다. 집중격자계를 사용함으로 얻어지는 향상된 해의 정도의 검증을 위하여 바닥에 고정된 반원 실린더 주위 정상유동에 대하여 가상경계법을 함께 사용하여 해석하였다. 수치계산결과는 물체적합 격자계를 사용해서 얻은 결과와 매우 잘 일치하였으며, 집중격자법을 사용하지 않은 해석결과보다 향상된 결과를 보여주었다. 수치계산의 또 다른 예제로서 다수의 고정된 물체주위 유동해석으로 확장 적용하여 공학적 유용성을 검증하였다. 마지막으로 이동 집중격자계의 생성법의 적용을 위해서 움직이면서 변형을 일으키는 2차원 기포상승문제를 해석하였다. 수치해석결과에서 격자점들은 매시간 기포의 변형에 맞추어 적합하게 집중된 형태를 잘 보여주었으며, 고정된 격자계를 사용한 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

Kinetic energy conservation for fixed and moving grids is examined in time-accurate finite element computation of fully unsteady inviscid flows. As numerical algorithms, fractional step method (FSM) and modified SIMPLE are used. To simulate the flow in moving grid system, arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method is adopted. In the present study, the energy conserving time integration rule for finite element algorithm is proposed and discussed schematically. It is shown that the discretization by Crank-Nicolson in time and Galerkin (central difference) in space must be used to ensure energy conservation. The developed code has been tested for a standing vortex in fixed or moving grid system, sloshing in a tank and propagation of a solitary wave, and has been shown to be a completely energy conserving algorithm.

고정식 초점형 격자가 적용된 비정질 실리콘 평판형 검출기에서 초점-격자간 중심변위와 두부 팬텀의 검출기내 위치 변위가 영상 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하여, 디지털 의료영상 장비의 올바른 사용 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 고정식 초점형 격자를 적용한 비정질 실리콘 평판형 검출기에서 두부 팬텀을 사용하여 초점-격자간 중심 변위와 두부 팬텀의 위치 변위에 따라 영상을 획득 하였다. 획득된 영상을 NIH(Image J) 영상 분석 프로그램을 이용하여 동일 영역에서의 픽셀값(Pixel value), 히스토그램(Histogram), 도면형상(plot profile), 표면도(Surface plot)등을 분석하고, 표준 촬영 영상과 비교 하였다. 초점-격자간 측 방향 중심 변위와 초점-격자와 두부 팬텀의 이중 변위는 수평, 대각선으로 증가할수록 픽셀의 평균값과 표준편차값이 비례적으로 감소하였다. 또한 높은 픽셀값의 빈도수가 상당히 감소하여 영상의 대조도를 저하시켰고, 변위가 증가할수록 영상 왜곡현상도 증가하였다. 다음으로 두부 팬텀 위치 변위의 픽셀 평균값은 큰 변화가 없었으나 수평, 대각선으로 증가할수록 높은 픽셀값의 빈도수가 감소하는 양상을 보여 영상의 대조도가 저하 되었다. 디지털 검출기의 넓은 관용도와 후처리 능력은 영상의 화소 잡음이 증가하여도 방사선사들이 인지하지 못할 수 있다. 따라서 방사선사는 격자가 장착된 디지털 검출기에서 화소 잡음을 증가시키는 촬영 요인들을 정확히 인지하여 검사에 임해야 할 것이다.

This paper describes a modeling of fixed speed wind power generation system which comprise of wind turbine, generator and grid. The wind turbine is based on MOD-2, which is IEEE standard wind turbine, and includes a component using wind turbine characteristic equation. Fixed speed induction generator is directly connected to grid, so the variation of wind speed has effects on the electrical torque and electrical output power. Therefore the power control mode pitch control system is necessary for aerodynamic control of the blades. But the power control mode does not operate at the fault condition. So it is required some methods to control the rotor speed at transient state for stabilization of wind power system. In this paper, simulation model of a fixed speed wind power generation system based on the PSCAD/EMTDC is presented and implemented under the real weather conditions. Also, a new pitch control system is proposed to stabilize the wind power system at the fault condition. The validity of the stabilization method is demonstrated with the results produced through sets of simulation.

The purpose of this study is to predict and understand the hydrodynamic forces and their nonlinear behaviors of fluid motion around the submerged plate oscillating near a free surface. To achieve this objective, we have developed a composite grid method for the solution of a radiation problem. The domain is divided into two different grids; one is a moving grid system and the other is a fixed grid system. The moving grid is employed for the body fitted coordinate system and moves with the body. This numerical method is applied to calculation of radiation forces generated by the submerged plate oscillating near a free surface. In order to investigate the characteristics of the radiation forces, the forced heaving tests have been performed with several amplitudes and different submergences near a free surface. These experimental results are compared with the numerical ones obtained by the present method and a linear potential theory. As a result, we can confirm the accuracy of the present method. Finally, the effect of nonlinear and viscous damping has been evaluated on the hydrodynamic forces acting on the submerged plate.

In this paper an important class of problems in welding which come under the category of phase change is considered, Solidification and melting are important process in welding field. Phase change problems are accompanied by either absorption or release of thermal energy i,e, heat transfer process. This is complicated by the release or absorption of the latent heat of fusion at the solid-liquid interface. In this study the liberation of latent heat is taken in to account using fixed grid method. The numerical simulation and the finite element codes for the heat transfer analysis including the latent heat term has been developed based on this fixed grid method.

Fluctuating wind conditions necessitate the use of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) with a AC/DC/AC converter scheme in order to harvest the maximum power from the wind and to decouple the synchronous generator voltage and frequency from the grid voltage and frequency. In this paper, a combination of a three phase diode bridge rectifier (DBR) and a modified topology of the diode clamped multilevel inverter (DCMLI) has been considered as an AC/DC/AC converter. A control strategy has been proposed for the DCMLI to achieve the objective of grid interface of a wind power system together with local load compensation. A novel fixed frequency current control method is proposed for the DCMLI based on the level shifted multi carrier PWM for achieving the required control objectives with equal and uniform switching frequency operation for better control and thermal management with the modified DCMLI. The condition of the controller gain is derived to ensure the operation of the DCMLI at the fixed frequency of the carrier. The converter current injected into the distribution grid is controlled in accordance with the wind power availability. In addition, load compensation is performed as an added facility in order to free the source currents being fed from the grid of harmonic distortion, unbalance and a low power factor even though the load may be unbalanced, non-linear and of a poor power factor. The results are validated using PSCAD/EMTDC simulation studies.
