Super computers has been utilized to carry out vehicle dynamics in real time. This research propose an implicit integra-tion method for vehicle state variables. Newton chord method is empolyed to solve the equations of motion and con-straints. The equations of motion and constraints are formulated such that the Jacobian matrix for Newton chord method is needed to be computed only once for a dynamic analysis. Numerical experiments showed that the Jacobian matrix generat-ed at the initial time could have been utilized for the Newton chord iterations throughout simulations under various driving conditions. Convergence analysis of Newton chord method with the proposed Jacobian updating method is carried out. The proposed algorithm yielded accurate solutions for a prototype vehicle multibody model in realtime on a 400 MHz PC compatible.

Nonlinear Vortex Strength Correction Method is developed for improvement of vortex lattice method which can't calculate the separated flow conditions and the viscous effect. In this method, the vortex strength on the blade surface is determined by matching the lift force from vortex lattice method with the lift force from aerodynamic coefficients table as the same circulation is added to or subtracted from all chord wise vortices. For considering the nonlinearities due to the neighboring blade sections, sophisticated Newton-Rapson algorithm is applied. The validation of this method was done by comparing the simulations with the measurements on the NREL Phase-VI horizontal axis wind turbine(HAWT) in the NASA Ames wind tunnel under uniform conditions. This method gives good agreements with experiments in most cases.
