This article presents a numerical investigation concerning the effect of two kinds of axially progressing internal flows (namely, upward and downward) on fluid.structure interaction (FSI) dynamics about a marine riser model which is subject to external shear current. The CAE technology behind the current research is a proposed FSI solution, which combines structural analysis software with CFD technology together. Efficiency validation for the CFD software was carried out first. It has been proved that the result from numerical simulations agrees well with the observation from relating model test cases in which the fluidity of internal flow is ignorable. After verifying the numerical code accuracy, simulations are conducted to study the vibration response that attributes to the internal progressive flow. It is found that the existence of internal flow does play an important role in determining the vibration mode (/dominant frequency) and the magnitude of instantaneous vibration amplitude. Since asymmetric curvature along the riser span emerges in the case of external shear current, the centrifugal and Coriolis accelerations owing to up- and downward internal progressive flows play different roles in determining the fluid.structure interaction response. The discrepancy between them becomes distinct, when the velocity ratio of internal flow against external shear current is relatively high.

Tornadoes are one of the world's deadliest natural phenomena. They are characterized by short life span and danger. It has been observed through post-damage surveys that localities with large numbers of buildings suffer major damage during a tornado attack resulting in huge loss of life and property. Thus,it is important to study interfering buildings exposed to tornado-like vortices. The present study focuses on external and internal pressures developed on building models exposed to translating tornado-like vortices in the presence of an interfering building model. The effects of translating speed and swirl ratio of a tornado-like vortex on external and internal pressures for a principal building in the vicinity of an interfering building are investigated. Results indicate that external and internal pressures are enhanced or reduced depending on the location of the interfering building with respect to the principal building.

In coastal regions, it is common to witness significant damages on low-rise buildings caused by hurricanes and other extreme wind events. These damages start at high pressure zones or weak building components, and then cascade to other building parts. The state-of-the-art in experimental and numerical aerodynamic load evaluation is to assume buildings with intact envelopes where wind acts only on the external walls and correct for internal pressure through separate aerodynamic studies. This approach fails to explain the effect of openings on (i) the external pressure, (ii) internal partition walls; and (iii) the load sharing between internal and external walls. During extreme events, non-structural components (e.g., windows, doors or rooftiles) could fail allowing the wind flow to enter the building, which can subject the internal walls to lateral loads that potentially can exceed their load capacities. Internal walls are typically designed for lower capacities compared to external walls. In the present work, an anticipated damage development scenario is modelled for a four-story building with a stepped gable roof. LES is used to examine the change in the internal and external wind flows for different level of assumed damages (starting from an intact building up to a case with failure in most windows and doors are observed). This study demonstrates that damages in non-structural components can increase the wind risk on the structural elements due to changes in the loading patterns. It also highlights the load sharing mechanisms in low rise buildings.

Purpose: In this study experiments were performed during 6 weeks with 40 adults, 20 subjects in the waist stabilization exercise with blood flow restriction group and 20 subjects in the waist stabilization exercise without blood flow restriction group, in order to determine the impact of waist stabilization exercise on White Area Index (WAI) followed by blood flow restriction. Methods: Thickness of external oblique abdominal muscle, internal oblique abdominal muscle, and transversus abdominis muscle, as well as density and WAI of external oblique abdominal muscle were measured, followed by performance of repeated ANOVA. Results: Significant difference in thickness of external oblique abdominal muscle according to periodical difference was observed between groups (p<0.05). Significant difference in thickness of internal oblique abdominal muscle and transversus abdominis muscle according to periodical difference was observed between groups (p<0.05). Significant difference in density and WAI of external oblique abdominal muscle according to periodical difference was observed between groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, significant difference was observed after waist stabilization exercise with blood flow restriction. These results can be used as basic data for future research on waist stabilization exercise and blood flow restriction exercise.

This paper describes a wind tunnel test on a 1:25 scale model of TTU building with several adjustable openings in order to comprehensively study the characteristics of fluctuating internal pressures, especially the phenomenon of the increase in fluctuating internal pressures induced by tangential flow over building openings and the mechanism causing that. The effects of several factors, such as wind angle, turbulence intensity, opening location, opening size, opening shape and background porosity on the fluctuating internal pressures at oblique wind angles are also described. It has been found that there is a large increase in the fluctuating internal pressures at certain oblique wind angles (typically around 60° to 80°). These fluctuations are greater than those produced by the flow normal to the opening when the turbulence intensity is low. It is demonstrated that the internal pressure resonances induced by the external pressure fluctuations emanating from flapping shear layers on the sidewall downstream of the windward corner are responsible for the increase in the fluctuating internal pressures. Furthermore, the test results show that apart from the opening shape, all the other factors influence the fluctuating internal pressures and the internal pressure resonances at oblique wind angles to varying degrees.

빠른 데이터 처리를 위하여 기존에는 소프트웨어방식으로 구현되었던 TCP/IP를 고속의 하드웨어로 구현함에 있어, TCP/IP 하드웨어와 외부 블록간의 통신을 중계하는 블록인 Host Interface를 구현하였다. Host Interface는 TCP/IP 하드웨어와 외부 블록의 중간에 위치하여 외부 블록과의 통신을 위해 AMBA AHB 규약을 따른다. Host Interface는 내부의 Command/Status Register를 통하여 CPU와 TCP/IP 하드웨어 간의 명령, 상태, 헤더 정보 등을 전달하는데 이 때에는 AMBA AHB의 Slave로서 동작한다. Data Flow를 위해서 Host Interface는 AMBA AHB의 Master로서 동작하는데, 데이터 흐름의 방향에 따라 Data flow는 데이터를 수신하는 Receive flow와 데이터를 패킷으로 만들어 보내는 Transmit Flow로 나된다. Rx Flow의 경우, UDP 블록이나 TCP Buffer로부터 받은 데이터를 내부의 작은 RxFIFO를 통해 외부 RxRAM에 써서 CPU가 읽어갈 수 있도록 하고, Tx Flow의 경우에는 외부 TxRAM에서 전송할 데이터를 읽어 와서 TxFIFO를 거쳐 UDP Buffer나 TCP Buffer에 씀으로써 패킷을 만들어 보내도록 한다. 외부 RAM의 액세스에는 Command/Status Register에 위치한 Buffer Descriptor의 정보를 이용하게 된다. Host Interface는 이러한Data Flow의 원활한 흐름을 위해서 여러 세부 기능들을 수행하게 된다. Host Interface의 기능을 검증하기 위하여 여러 testcase들이 수행되었으며, 0.18 마이크론 기술을 사용하여 synthesis한 결과, 내부의 Command/Status Register와 FIFO를 모두 포함하여 약 173K 게이트가 소요됨을 보았다.

The demand for the laptop computer has been increased day by day and most of users ask quiet computer and devices to work in comfortable environment. One of the devices which generate acoustic noise is an external ODD. Unlike the internal ODD, the external ODD is easy to emit noise because it runs outside of the computer and also it is packed with a thin plastic covers. As the disk rotates, vortex flow is generated inside of the cavity due to various and complicated mold parts of the cover. In addition, there is a gap between the disk tray and the upper/lower cases, through which the air flows as well as the noise leaks. In this study, we have proposed how to reduce the acoustic noise of an external ODD using numerical and experimental analysis. The pressure fluctuations and turbulent kinetic energy distributions are calculated for the developed model. The results show that the sound pressure level is reduced by 2.3dB through simple modifications of ribs of the top cover, which remove or suppress flow instabilities inside of the cavity.

This paper considers internal pressure fluctuations for a range of building volumes and dominant wall opening areas. The study recognizes that the air flow in and out of the dominant opening in the envelope generates Helmholtz resonance, which can amplify the internal pressure fluctuations compared to the external pressure, at the opening. Numerical methods were used to estimate fluctuating standard deviation and peak (i.e. design) internal pressures from full-scale measured external pressures. The ratios of standard deviation and peak internal pressures to the external pressures at a dominant windward wall opening of area, AW are presented in terms of the non-dimensional opening size to volume parameter, $S^*=(a_s/\bar{U}_h)^2(A_W^{3/2}/V_{Ie})$ where $a_s$ is the speed of sound, $\bar{U}_h$ is the mean wind speed at the top of the building and $V_{Ie}$ is the effective internal volume. The standard deviation of internal pressure exceeds the external pressures at the opening, for $S^*$ greater than about 0.75, showing increasing amplification with increasing $S^*$. The peak internal pressure can be expected to exceed the peak external pressure at the opening by 10% to 50%, for $S^*$ greater than about 5. A dominant leeward wall opening also produces similar fluctuating internal pressure characteristics.
