A silent type ozone generator using water surface has been studied and improved its ozone generation characteristics by the controlling the height of Taylor cone by installing a mesh electrode, a dielectric bed of glass beads in the just under th surface of the water. The current-voltage characteristics and characteristics of ozone generation quantity of the test system were investigated and discharge current oscillograms of the each cases of the mesh electrode and the beds were observed and compared each other to analyze the discharge conditions. The Taylor cone height could be the cause of the discharge bridge to decrease the ozone generation on the discharge spacing. In this study, the hight of Taylor cone could be reduced greatly by installing the mesh and the glass beads bed just under the water surface. Therefore a higher ozone generation also could be obtained.

The more accurate numerical analysis is needed, The more important to arrange nodes and elements properly on the structures wanted to be analyzed. In this study, automatic mesh generation method is developed for triangular mesh modeling in wind tower and substructure formed in circular sections especially, which have structural and economical benefits in shallow water area. It can consider variety conditions by inputting the detail data such as height and types. Also, this study includes the comparison and verification with the mesh generation by Delaunay triangular technique on 3 dimensional space and the examples of mesh generation for proposed tower and substructure. The result of this study will be widely applied to analyze the existing and proposed models for wind turbines.

For fires in ship accommodation areas, if it is possible to predict the pattern in which fire will spread and suggest proper countermeasures according to a situation using a fire simulation tool, fire damage may be reduced. However, fire simulations have a practical limit: a significant amount of time is required to analyze the results due to the size of the computational domain and the number of grids. Therefore, in this study, applicable grid size for fire simulations to predict fire patterns in ship accommodation areas was analyzed, and a generation method was conducted to predict fire behavior in real time. As a result, a value within 0.25[m] was judged appropriate as an applicable grid size for ship accommodation areas. Also, in comparison with studies using a single mesh generation method, the visibility value was similar, within 4.3 %, as was the temperature value, within 8.3 %, when a multi mesh generation method was used, showing a decline of 80 % in analysis time. Therefore, it was confirmed that composing a grid using multi mesh was effective for reducing analysis time.

A three dimensional FE mesh generation scheme based on mapping approach is proposed in this study. A volume in Eucledian space is represented by composite hyperpatches which are piecewise cubic functions in parameters u, v, w. A key idea in the proposed approach is that I sampled grid data points lying only on the boundary surfaces are needed for the shape representation. Inner points which are necessary to form a hyperpatch are internally generated by Coons patches. This approach is most appropriate for the shapes which are compositions of hexahedronlike shapes and also severely curved.

In this second part of the paper, the automatic mesh generation and remeshing algorithm using bubble packing method is applied to the nonlinear problem. The remeshing/refinement procedure is necessary in the large deformation process especially because the mesh distortion deteriorates the convergence and accuracy. To perform the nonliear analysis, the transfer of state variables such as displacement and strain is added to the algorithm of Part 1. The equilibrium equation based on total Lagrangian formulation and elasto-viscoplastic model is used. For the numerical experiment, the upsetting process including the contact constraint condition is analyzed by two refinement criteria. And from the result, it is addressed that the present algorithm can generate the refined meshes easily at the largely deformed area with high error.

In this paper, two automatic mesh generation algorithms are presented. The methods seek to optimize mesh density with regard to geometries exhibiting both fine and coarse physical structures. When generating meshes, the algorithms attempt to satisfy the conditions on the maximum mesh spacing and the maximum grading ratio simultaneously. Both algorithms successfully produce non-uniform meshes that satisfy the requirements for finite-difference time-domain simulations of microwave components. Additionally, an algorithm successfully generates a minimum number of grid points while maintaining the simulation accuracy.

Wing is the most important part of aircraft which produces lift. In general when aircraft takes off or lands, high lift is required and additional devices are adopted in front and aft-side of wing, which constitute so-called multi element airfoils. The objective of this research is to develop a specialized grid generation program to help engineers in reducing human labor and eliminating time-consuming process for mesh regeneration by deforming the initially-given grid system with efficient deforming method. This paper describes briefly about the mesh deformation methods, and provides some results to verify the quality of deformed mesh and eventually correctness of current approach.

Being contacted directly with. ground, the tire tread part is in shape of complex patterns of variable ASDs(anti-skid depth) to satisfy various tire performances. However, owing to the painstaking mesh generation job and the extremely long CPU-time, conventional 3-D tire analyses have been performed by either neglecting tread pattern or modeling circumferential grooves only. As a result, such simplified analysis models lead to considerably poor numerical expectations. This paper addresses the development of a 3-D tire mesh generation considering the detailed tread pattern and shows that the contact pressure and frictional energy distribution of tires considering the detailed pattern become better than those by the simplified tire model.

This paper proposes a hexahedral mesh generation scheme based on mapping approach and improves the drawback of sweeping algorithm. In order to improve the drawback, the algorithm in this paper generates hexahedral meshes by three dimensional element mapping first. Then hexahedral meshes are equivalent to geometry of the volume by mapping and smoothing. Sample meshes are constructed to demonstrate the mesh generating capability of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, an automated adaptive mesh generation scheme, based on an advancing-front-Delaunay method, is developed for finite element simulation of three dimensional bulk metal forming processes. During the simulation, the finite element mesh system is adaptively remeshed whenever the mesh is unacceptable. Several schemes are developed such as curvature compensation scheme to minimize volume loss, optimal smoothing scheme to improve element quality, etc. The presented approach is evaluated and applied to automatic forging simulation in order to demonstrate the effect of the developed schemes.
