We propose an efficient method to measure a pulse width using multiphase clock signals generated from a ring oscillator. These clocks, which have the same frequency and are evenly spaced, give multiple rising edges within a clock cycle. Thus, it is possible to measure a pulse width more accurately than with existing single clock-based methods. The proposed method is applied to a capacitive touch switch. Experimental results show that the capacitive touch switch with the proposed method gives a 118 fF resolution, which is 6.4 times higher than that of the touch switch with a single clock-based pulse width measurement method.

Subchannel code is one of the effective simulation tools for thermal-hydraulic analysis in nuclear reactor core. In order to reduce the computational cost and improve the calculation efficiency, empirical correlation of turbulent mixing coefficient is employed to calculate the lateral mixing velocity between adjacent subchannels. However, correlations utilized currently are often fitted from data achieved in central channel of fuel assembly, which would simply neglect the wall effects. In this paper, the CFD approach based on spectral element method is employed to predict turbulent mixing phenomena through gaps in 3 × 3 bare tight lattice rod bundle and investigate the flow pulsation through gaps in different positions. Re = 5000,10000,20500 and P/D = 1.03 and 1.06 have been covered in the simulation cases. With a well verified mesh, lateral velocities at gap center between corner channel and wall channel (W-Co), wall channel and wall channel (W-W), wall channel and center channel (W-C) as well as center channel and center channel (C-C) are collected and compared with each other. The obvious turbulent mixing distributions are presented in the different channels of rod bundle. The peak frequency values at W-Co channel could have about 40%-50% reduction comparing with the C-C channel value and the turbulent mixing coefficient β could decrease around 25%. corrections for β should be performed in subchannel code at wall channel and corner channel for a reasonable prediction result. A preliminary analysis on fluctuation at channel gap has also performed. Eddy cascade should be considered carefully in detailed analysis for fluctuating in rod bundle.

하나의 시스템 내에 2개 이상의 상이 다른 유체가 존재할 시에는 다상유동에 의한 복장성이 존재하며, 이는 해석의 어려움이 따른다. 두 개 이상의 상이 다른 다상유동은 유동 및 경계면에 영향을 끼치지 때문에, 불안정성과 같은 비선형 유동이 나타나게 된다. 여러 종류의 불안정성 중 레일리히-테일러 불안정성은 대표적인 예로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 밀도차가 레일리히-테일러 불안정성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 다양한 Atwood 수를 선정하였으며, 초기 경계면 형상 역시 다양한 형태를 설정하고 시뮬레이션 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 입자법인 MPS(Moving particle simulation)은 이러한 다상유동에서 널리 쓰이지는 않았으나, 다상유동을 위한 입자간 상호 연성 모델인 자가-부력 항, 표면 장력 항과 경계면 경계 조건 항을 추가로 사용하여 수치해석이 가능하게 하였다. 본 연구에서 새로이 개발된 다상유동형 입자법을 이용하여 고려된 경우들에 대해 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 각각의 결과들을 비교 분석하였다. 또한 레일리히-테일러 불안정성에 기인한 유동의 속도를 측정하여 포텐셜 기반의 이론값과의 비교를 통해 경향성이 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 이론값과의 크기의 차는 포텐셜 기반의 이론값에서는 고려가 힘든 비선형성에 기인한다고 사료된다.

Liquid lead-bismuth cooled fast reactor is one of the most promising reactor types among the fourth-generation nuclear energy systems. The flow and heat transfer characteristics of lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) are completely different from ordinary fluids due to its special thermal properties, causing that the traditional Reynolds analogy is no longer recommended and appropriate. More accurate turbulence flow and heat transfer model for the liquid metal lead-bismuth should be developed and applied in CFD simulation. In this paper, a specific CFD solver for simulating the flow and heat transfer of liquid lead-bismuth based on the k - 𝜀 - k_𝜃 - 𝜀_𝜃 model was developed based on the open source platform OpenFOAM. Then the advantage of proposed model was demonstrated and validated against a set of experimental data. Finally, the simulation of LBE turbulent flow and heat transfer in a 7-pin wire-wrapped rod bundle with the k - 𝜀 - k_𝜃 - 𝜀_𝜃 model was carried out. The influence of wire on the flow and heat transfer characteristics and the three-dimensional distribution of key thermal hydraulic parameters such as temperature, cross-flow velocity and Nusselt number were studied and presented. Compared with the traditional SED model with a constant Pr_t = 1.5 or 2.0, the k - 𝜀 - k_𝜃 - 𝜀_𝜃 model is more accurate on predicting the turbulence flow and heat transfer of liquid lead-bismuth. The average relative error of the k - 𝜀 - k_𝜃 - 𝜀_𝜃 model is reduced by 11.1% at most under the simulation conditions in this paper. This work is meaningful for the thermal hydraulic analysis and structure design of fuel assembly in the liquid lead-bismuth cooled fast reactor.

The proposed clock generator lowers the operating frequency in a system core though it keeps data bandwidth high because it has a multiphase clocking architecture. Moreover. it has a dual loop which is comprised of an inner analog phase generation loop and outer digital phase control loop. It has both advantages of DLL's wide operating range and DLL's low jitter The proposed design has been demonstrated in terms of the concept and Hspice simulation. All circuits were designed using a 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process and simulated with 2.5 V power supply.

In this paper, multiphase optimization of machine structure is presented. The goal of first step is to obtain (i) light weight, (ii) rigidity statically. In this step, multiple optimization problem with two objective functions is treated using Pareto Genetic Algorithm. Where two objective functions are weight of the structure, and static compliance. The method is applied to a new machine structure design.

Multiphase machines are characterized by high power density, enhanced fault-tolerant capacity, and low torque pulsation. For a voltage source inverter supplied multiphase machine, the probability of load imbalances becomes greater and unwanted low-order stator voltage harmonics occur. This paper deals with the PWM control of multiphase inverters under unbalanced load conditions and it proposes a novel near-five-vector SVPWM algorithm based on the five-phase six-leg inverter. The proposed algorithm can output symmetrical phase voltages under unbalanced load conditions, which is not possible for the conventional SVPWM algorithms based on the five-phase five-leg inverters. The cause of extra harmonics in the phase voltages is analyzed, and an xy coordinate system orthogonal to the ${\alpha}{\beta}z$ coordinate system is introduced to eliminate low-order harmonics in the output phase voltages. Moreover, the digital implementation of the near-five-vector SVPWM algorithm is discussed, and the optimal approach with reduced complexity and low execution time is elaborated. A comparison of the proposed algorithm and other existing PWM algorithms is provided, and the pros and cons of the proposed algorithm are concluded. Simulation and experimental results are also given. It is shown that the proposed algorithm works well under unbalanced load conditions. However, its maximum modulation index is reduced by 5.15% in the linear modulation region, and its algorithm complexity and memory requirement increase. The basic principle in this paper can be easily extended to other inverters with different phase numbers.

An efficient segregated algorithm for the coupling of velocity and pressure of incompressible fluid flow, called IDEAL Inner Doubly-Iterative Efficient Algorithm for Linked-Equations), has been proposed by the present authors. In the algorithm there exist double inner iterative processes for pressure equation at each iteration level, which almost completely overcome two approximations in SIMPLE algorithm. Thus the coupling between velocity and pressure is fully guaranteed, greatly enhancing the convergence rate and stability of solution process. The performance of the IDEAL algorithm for three-dimensional incompressible fluid flow and heat transfer problems is analyzed and a systemic comparison is made between the algorithm and three other most widely-used algorithms (SIMPLER, SIMPLEC and PISO). It is found that the IDEAL algorithm is the most robust and the most efficient one among the four algorithms compared. This new algorithm is used for the velocity prediction of a new interface capturing method. VOSET, also proposed by the present author. It is found that the combination of VOSET and IDEAL can appreciably enhance both the interface capture accuracy and convergence rate of computations.

본 연구에서는 벽면부착에 의해 야기되는 다상유동에 대한 수치적 연구를 제시한다. 먼저 다상유동 해석을 위해 표면장력에 대한 CSF(Continuum Surface Force) 모델 및 벽면부착 경계조건 모델을 비정렬격자계에 적합하도록 수치해석방법을 정립시키고, Myong(2009)이 개발한 비정렬격자계와 VOF 방법으로 체적포착법(volume capturing method)을 사용한 수치해석방법(코드)에 삽입하였다. 또한 본 수치해석방법을 사용하여 중력을 포함하여 어떤 외력도 존재하지 않고 오직 벽면부착에 의해 야기되는 유동현상인 원통형 탱크의 바닥에 위치한 얕은 물풀(water pool)에 대해 물이 벽면을 적시는 경우와 적시지 않는 경우에 대해 수치해석 하였다. 연구결과, 본 수치해석방법은 벽면부착에 의해 야기되는 다상유동 문제에 대한 유용성이 입증되었다.
