Formulation of the far-field method for the prediction of time-mean hydrodynamic force and moment acting on a 3-D surface-piercing body in waves is reviewed. It is found that the inequality between the weight of the floating body and its buoyancy force permits the replacement of the fluid particles inside the control surface by the fluid particles outside the control surface. Under such circumstances, momentum exchanges across the control surface make the time-mean value of the time rate of the momentum of the fluid inside the control surface non-vanishing. It is a second-order quantity which is hard to calculate by the far-field method. The drift forces and moments on half-immersed ellipsoids are calculated by both the far-field method and the near-field method. The discrepancy between two numerical results is presented and discussed.

A three-dimensional viscous flow solver has been developed for the prediction of the aerodynamic performance of hovering helicopter rotor blades using unstructured hybrid meshes. The flow solver utilized a vertex-centered finite-volume scheme that is based on the Roe's flux-difference splitting with an implicit Jacobi/Gauss-Seidel time integration. The eddy viscosity are estimated by the Spalart- Allmaras one-equation turbulence model. Calculations were performed at three operating conditions with varying tip Mach number and collective pitch setting for the Caradonna-Tung rotor in hover. Additional computations are made for the UH-60A rotor in hover. Reasonable agreements were obtained between the present results and the experiment in both blade loading and overall rotor performance. It was demonstrated that the present vertex-centered flow solver is an efficient and accurate tool for the assessment of rotor performance in hover.

The dynamic mixed model (DMM) combined with a box filter of Zang et. al. (1993) has been generalized for passive scalar transport and applied to large eddy simulation of turbulent channel flows with Prandtl number up to 10. Results from a priori test showed that DMM is capable of predicting both subgrid-scale (SGS) scalar flux and dissipation rather accurately for the Prandtl numbers considered. This would suggest that the favorable feature of DMM, originally developed for the velocity field, works equally well for scalar transport problem. The validity of the DMM has also been tested a posteriori. The results of the large eddy simulation showed that DMM is superior to the dynamic Smagorinsky model in the prediction of scalar field and the model performance of DMM depends to a lesser degree on the ratio of test to grid filter widths, unlike in the a priori test.

The present study presents a numerical methodology for early conceptual trade-off study between propulsive performance, cooling efficiency, weight and size, in which combustion and cooling precesses in regeneratively cooled rocket thrust chamber are interactively simulated. To address the capabilities and reliability of the design tool, some application results are given involving contour design, performance analysis, and wall cooling prediction as well as a systematic design evaluation.

Supersonic jet impingement on a flat plate has been investigated to show the flow physics for different jet heights and to demonstrate the adequacy of the characteristics-based flux-difference Wavier-Stokes code Current study also compares the steady-state solutions obtained with variable CFL number for different grid spacing with the time-accurate unsteady solutions using the inner iterations, displaying a good agreement between the two sets of numerical solutions. The unsteady nature of wall fluctuations due to bouncing of the plate shock is also uncovered for high pressure ratios. The methodology is then applied to a complex vertical launcher system where the jet plume hits the bottom wail, deflects into the plenum and eventually exits through the vertical uptake. Flow structures within vertical launcher system are captured and solutions are partially verified against the flight test data. Present jet impingement study thus shows the usefulness of CFD in designing a complex structure and predicting flow behavior within such a system.

Internal and external heat sources will cause to deform to machine elements in the contact joint of structure,which results in the change of contact pressure distribution different from initial assembly. Heat induced variations of contact pressure will change the static and dynamic properties such as contact stiffness,damping as well as contact heat conduction in the structure. In order to design and control the intelligent machine tool operating in variant conditions more sophisticatedly, the good prediction for the changes of prescribed propeties are strongly required especially in the contact elements adjacent to the rotational or linear bearing This paper presents some computational and experimental results in regard to static and dynamic characteristics of the press-fitted bush and shaft assembly which is a model of the bearing innerrace and shaft assembly. In the condition of heat generation on the outer surface of the bush,the effects of changes in the negative clearance and the heat flux on pressure distribution and dynamic properties are investigated. Results of this study show that the edge effect of the bush and the initial clearance have effects on the transient dynamic characteristics significantiy.

In this study, an experiment was performed to investigate the characteristics of pressure drop and heat transfer of multi-channel tubes for automotive condenser using HFC-134a as an alternative refrigerant. The mass flux and inlet saturation pressure of the refrigerant were controlled, respectively, in the range of 200 to $500kg/m^2s$ and 1.0 to 1.6MPa. Pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient were compared with the previously proposed correlations and new correlations based on Traviss' correlation were suggested. Prediction of pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient based on the new correlations agrees with experimental results within ${\pm}9%$ and -18~+11%, respectively.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of foulant characteristics on Membrane fouling index such as Silt Density Index (SDI) and Modified Fouling Index (MFI). A linear relationship was found relating the fouling index (both SDI and MFI) on particle concentration, but fouling index values were nonlinearly (exponentially) with increasing organic concentration. When organic matter was the primary cause of fouling, the MFI was not accurately predicted due to internal fouling such as pore adsorption. The fouling index was determined mainly by particle characteristics when both particle and organic coexisted in the feed water. This observation was attributed to lessening of organic pore adsorption by particle cake layer formed on the membrane surface. Bench-scale actual fouling experiments demonstrated that permeate flux declines much faster with feed water containing particles than organic matters although fouling potential predicted by SDI values were identical, indicating that the accurate prediction of fouling potential requires the development of fouling index reflecting different foulant characteristics.

For a given brushless DC linear motor, we suggest the numerical prediction methods to analyze it's thrust characteristics. First, we calculate the magnetic flux density by the finite element method, and we then compute the maximum thrust with three computational methods - a Lorentz equation, a Maxwell stress method and a virtual work method. To confirm the accuracy of the computational methods, we measure the thrust of the linear motor made by our laboratory with a force-torque sensor. Also, we calculate the thrust by the measured back electromotive force. To choose the appropriate method for a specified application, we compare the maximum thrusts of the computational method and the calculation by the back electromotive force with the measured one. We conclude that the Maxwell stress method is turned out the best because it has the most accurate results among three computational methods and it is more convenient than the calculation method by the back electromotive force.

In this paper the robust vector control method of induction motor for the purpose of improving the system performance deterioration caused by parameter variations is proposed. The estimations of the stator current and the rotor flux are obtained by the full order state observer with corrective prediction error feedback. and the adaptive scheme is constructed to estimate the rotor speed with the error signal between real and estimation value of the stator current. Adaptive sliding observer based on the variable structure control is applied to parameter identification. Consequently predictive current control and speed sensorless vector control can be obtained simultaneously regardless of the parameter variations.
