  • We consider the probelem of identifying and underwater vehicle. It is assumed that a priori information about the parameteric model structure and values of the hydrodynamic coefficients is available from some other schemes. The concept of relative esnsitivity is introduced to plan and efficinet identification procedure. An analysis of the sensitivity of the overall system to a particular hydrodynamic coefficinet provides a tool to evaluate the relative importance of the same coefficient in a particular maneuver. Then it can be made possible to reduce the filter size by selecting some dominatn hydrodynamic coefficients as parameters to be estimated for a given maneuver, and this fact may be used for establishing a gradual identification scheme. The main merit of a gradual identification is substantially reduced computer burden with increased nimerical stability. An illustrative simualtion result is given.

  • This dissertation analyzes the running mechanism of flexible and thin tape above rotating head through the numerical simulation and the experiment. The scope of analysis is confined to the phenomena of two dimensional elasto hydrodynamic lubrication between the protruded bump on a rotating cylinder and the running tape. This model is based on the elastic deformation equation of plate and shell and Reynolds equation. Finite difference method is employed as a numerical technique to calculate (1) the distribution of pressure between the running tape and rotating bump and (2) the vertical deformation of elastic thin tape over he rotating bump under hydrodynamic pressure. In numerical analyses, the effects of bump size on flying characteristics of the tape were evaluated and examined considering the influence of tension and stiffness of tape.

  • For the characteristic assessment of biomimetic shark skin structure pattern for engineering applications, we conducted the elastic hydrodynamic lubrication analysis for the shark skin surface pattern. The shark skin surfaces with roughness are generated numerically in the similar size with real shark skin scales. For the spherical contact on the generated shark skin surface with two different flow directions which are transversal and longitudinal, 3-dimensional elasto-hydrodynamic lubraction analysis are carried out. The result of the longitudinal flow which are similar with the flow of shark skin shows more beneficial effects with lower pressure and less sensitive effect with surface roughness.

  • To evaluate the effects of amylose content and dissolution media on the molecular structure of maize starch, changes in the hydrodynamic diameter of starch molecules were assessed via dynamic light scattering depending on amylose content and dissolution media. As the amylose content of starch increased, the hydrodynamic diameter of starch molecules proportionally decreased from 204 to 92 nm. To alter ionic strength, hydrogen bonding, or polarity of dissolution media, various contents of NaCl (1, 2, or 3 M), urea (1, 2, or 3 M), or 1-butanol (0.1, 0.5, or 1.0%) were added to media, respectively, resulting in increased hydrodynamic diameter of starch. However, the degree of expansion was dependent on amylose content and the concentration and/or type of additive. The hydrodynamic diameter of starch molecules exhibited significant correlation with amylose content obtained by size exclusion chromatography, regardless of dissolution conditions.

  • To fabricate microsized poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) beads of uniform size and density on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fis, we introduce an electro spraying technique that uses a target electrode applied with an ac electric fid. Using the apparatus and various material properties, we could obtain uniform size PMMA beads which were deposited on the thin PET film. The optical properties, transmittance and light diffusivity of the fis electro sprayed with the PMMA were characterized. The results show that the sprayed beads appear to act as a good optical diffuser, like microlenses. To understand the effect of process variables, applied field conditions and rheological properties, the morphological pictures of the deposited particles were investigated through the optical and scanning electron microscope.

  • This paper investigates wave loads of ships that suffer sinkage due to flood in a compartment caused by damage on the side of the hull. By analyzing ships with various sizesof damage opening, the influence of opening size on ship response is investigated. The motion of the damaged ship is analyzed by using the boundary element method, based on three-dimensional potential theory, considering hydrodynamic pressure in the flooded compartments. The shear forces, bending moments and torsional moments are calculated by the direct integration of the three dimensional hydrodynamic pressure on the outer and inner hulls. A RORO passenger ship with length of 174.8 m is considered in the numerical example, and results for wave loads are discussed.

  • In this paper, effects of physical configurations and operating conditions on bubble column performance were analyzed in terms of bubble hydrodynamic and mass transfer parameters. Bubble column with 3 different dimensions and 7 gas diffusers (single / multiple orifice and rigid / flexible orifice) were applied. High speed camera and image analysis program were used for analyzing the bubble hydrodynamic parameters. The local liquid-side mass transfer coefficient ($k_L$) was estimated from the volumetric mass transfer coefficient ($k_La$) and the interfacial area (a), which was deduced from the bubble diameter ($D_B$) and the terminal bubble rising velocity ($U_B$). The result showed that the values of kLa and a increased with the superficial gas velocity (Vg) and the size of bubble column. Influences of gas diffuser physical property (orifice size, thickness and orifice number) can be proven on the generated bubble size and the mass transfer performance in bubble column. Concerning the variation of $k_L$ coefficients with bubble size, 3 zones (Zone A, B and C) can be observed. For Zone A and Zone C, a good agreement between the experimental and the predicted $K_L$ coefficients was obtained (average difference of ${\pm}15%$), whereas the inaccuracy result (of ${\pm}40%$) was found in Zone B. To enhance the high $k_La$ coefficient and absorption efficiency in bubble column, it was unnecessary to generate numerous fine bubbles at high superficial gas velocity since it causes high power consumption with the great decrease of $k_L$ coefficients.

  • The present paper deals with the finite element analysis of water tanks with rigid baffle. Fluid is discretized by two dimensional eight-node isoparametric elements and the governing equation is simulated by pressure based formulation to reduce the degrees of freedom in the domain. Both free vibration and force vibration analysis are carried out for different sizes and positions of block at tank bottom. The fundamental frequency depends on block height and it reduces with the increase of block height. The variation of hydrodynamic pressure on tank walls not only depends of the exciting frequency but also on the size and position of rigid block at tank bottom. The hydrodynamic pressure has higher value when the exciting frequency is equal and lower than the fundamental frequency of the water in the tank. Similarly, the hydrodynamic pressure increases with the increase of width of the block for all exciting frequencies when the block is at the centre of tank. The left and right walls of tank have experienced different hydrodynamic pressure when the block is placed at off-centre. However, the increase in hydrodynamic pressure on nearest tank wall becomes insignificant after a certain value of the distance between the wall and the rigid block.

  • Time profile of the transient grating signal induced by a nanosecond pulsed laser excitation of methyl red is investigated in alcohols and toluene at several solvent temperatures. The signal decays biexponentially with well-separated time constants; the faster decay is identified as due to thermal diffusion of the solvents and the slower one as mainly due to translational diffusion of the solute. The measured translational diffusion constants of methyl red in toluene are close to a hydrodynamic prediction with a slip boundary condition while those in alcohols are larger by 30% and increase slightly with the size of alcohols. We compare the results with modified hydrodynamic models.

  • The motion behaviors including hydrodynamic interaction and mechanical coupling effects on multiple-body floating platforms are simulated by using a time domain hull/mooring/riser coupled dynamics analysis program. The objective of this study is to evaluate off-diagonal hydrodynamic interaction effects and mechanical coupling effects on tandem moored FPSO and shuttle taker motions. In the multiple-body floating platforms interaction, hydrodynamic coupling effects with waves and mechanical coupling effects through the connectors should be considered. Thus, in this study, the multiple-body platform motions are calculated by Combined Matrix Method (CMM) as well as Separated Matrix Method (SMM). The advantage of the combined matrix method is that it can include all the 6Nx6N full hydrodynamic and mechanical interaction effects among N bodies. Whereas, due to the larger matrix size, the calculation time of Combined Matrix Method (CMM) is longer than the Separated Matrix Method (SMM). On the other hand, Separated Matrix Method (SMM) cannot include the off-diagonal 6x6 hydrodynamic interaction coefficients although it can fully include mechanical interactions among N bodies. To evaluate hydrodynamic interaction and mechanical coupling effects, tandem moored FPSO and shuttle tanker is simulated by Combined Matrix Method (CMM) and Separated Matrix Method (SMM). The calculation results give a good agreement between Combined Matrix Method (CMM) and Separated Matrix Method (SMM). The results show that the Separated Matrix Method (SMM) is more efficient for tandem moored FPSO and shuttle tanker. In the numerical calculation, the hydrodynamic coefficients are calculated from a 3D diffraction/radiation panel program WAMIT, and wind and current forces are generated by using the respective coefficients given in the OCIMF data sheet.
